I have this dress. I got it at In God We Trust last summer. It's silk on the outside and linen on the inside. I think I am going to wear it at Sarah and Tom's wedding next week.

Love these colors, and the imperfect typography.

Reggae and Ska artist Desmond Dekker. He was on Stiff records in the 70's, and this is a promotional shot for that. He passed away in 2006.

Poster by British designer Tom Eckersley. I love the flat bold style that he's used.

One of my favorite books. It's filled with so much very important information. I want to get the UK version because it has more chapters than the US version, but it's out of print now and fairly expensive.  This cover is better than the UK version though.
