Real Vintage Hollywood...

I thought I'd post an example of what the previous photos were emulating. Enjoy.

Vintage Hollywood style...

I absolutely love this spread by Steven Meisel the famed fashion photographer. The vintage styling, along with the lighting is beautiful, they remind me of those olf Hollywood portraits, with the really strong spotlighting. Enjoy.

Man with a van...

I love these quirky vintage-styled photographs of a man in different professions with his van. I don't know what their original purpose was, but I just love them. Enjoy.

Where the Wild Things Are...

I stumbled on this photograph on the internet, and thought that only is it adorable but it really reminds me of the little boy from the children's book "Where the Wild Things Are", which is coming out in the cinema soon. Enjoy.

Typography posters...

Amazing vintage posters on typography, my favourite is the Helvetica one at the top. Enjoy

Beautiful simplicity...

Beautiful, simply styled vintage fashion photographs. So often these days fashion photography is over complicated, which can be a nice source of escapism, but sometimes simplicity works best. Enjoy.

Boarding...

Amazing photograph of a stylish woman on a plane from, what I'm guessing to be the 1950's. Enjoy

New York...

Great old images of New York city. I love the slightly faded colors. Enjoy.

Gotta love it...

Amazing vintage fashion photographs, absolutely love it. Enjoy

Surprise...

Lovely cut out book covers from book artist Thomas Allen. I love how playful they are. I think he also contributed to a window display at Selfridges department store in London a few months ago. Enjoy.

Faded elegence...

I love the narrow color palette in these photos, and the feel of faded elegance. The peeling wallpaper, the faded fabric and the dimly lit room. I also love the use of the empty fames hung on the wall. Enjoy.

Found...

A collection of beautiful found photographs. The has become it's own genre within photography, with several books and artists focusing on found ephemera, especially photographs. Enjoy

Eclectic concoctions...

Beautifully designed stock in Ink and Peat shop in Portland. Don't you love the medicine-type bottles. Enjoy

Thirsty?...

Nostalgic images from The Franklin Fountain website. And yes they are a real shop too so if your ever in Philadelphia check it out. Their menu looks delicious.

Recession inspiration...

Vintage number crunching. I might make this a regular post-recession related inspiration... Enjoy

Are you Obedient Sons and Daughters?...

Screen shots from the website of the clothing brand Obedient Sons and Daughters. I love collections of ephemera like this, they remind me not to throw anything away without really thinking about it first. And don't you love the old cameras. Beautiful.

Old world beauty...

Amazing old-world styled skincare shop called Aesop in London. It really reminds me of an old chemists shop with all those bottles lined up like that. And don't you love the little spiral staircase.

Spread the Inspiration...

I put together these posters to advertise the blog today. So feel free to print them off and help spread the inspiration.

My dream home...

Isn't this house amazing, my absolute dream home. It combines vintage, elegance and simplicity yet still looks like it would be livable, and would you believe it, it's in London!

Abandoned majesty....

Beautiful images of old abandoned swimming pools. I feel like the top one would make a nice loft style apartment, no?
