I can’t quite believe it’s been nearly two months since I last blogged. I promise I haven’t gone away for good, I’ve just been incredibly busy working away from Vintage-a-Peel for all this time. The website is still up, I’m still on Etsy, and there will be new listings in July. You can also find me still posting away on Instagram, so please do follow me over there if you’re there too.
Today I stumbled across this dreamy book by Rebecca Blake, a New York-based photographer whose work informed and was used in the cult classic film, The Eyes of Laura Mars. It’s safe to say that I’m smitten, not least because she also directed the music videos for ‘Kiss’ and ‘Cream’ for Prince and photographed Duran Duran for the cover of Seven and the Ragged Tiger.

“His voice was intimate as the rustle of sheets, and he kissed easily.” Dorothy Parker
I continue to be blown away by the magnificence of Guy Bourdin’s photographs. Every time I see a new one, I want to climb into it. Even when they’re just illustrating an article about make-up…

If you haven’t had the chance already, please make sure you get to see the Bourdin exhibition at Somerset House. It is a gorgeous, huge and perfectly curated insight into his talent. Apparently he submitted hundreds of photographs to Jourdan over the years and, whilst they are the bulk of the exhibition, it also barely scratches the surface of his output.
