I like.
Sky Planters – pretty and practical too. Especially if you were a loft dweller. I’ve always harboured a hankering for a life in New York with exposed brick and large windows and unhung art. Now I add some Sky Planters to this vision.

From a culture of me, to a culture of we
The RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) are basically a bunch of clever clogs using their big brains to sort out our problems in the 21st century. Thank goodness for that eh? 
Each year, they invite film makers to animate some of their talks in the RSA film competition, and the top five have been selected to vote on. Go have a look at them all. This one in particular though resonated with me.
Not that actual event of The Big Shwop works online in any big way at all, but I do see shwopping as part of the new movement of collaborative consumption, from a culture of me to a culture of we. Its exciting to think that we are in the nascent stages of a tide turn toward a way of operating that is big and wonderful and long-lasting ( and don’t you just love the word nascent? Its beautiful.)
This video is awesome too. It brings to live some of the global food issues through moving broccoli and a half eaten apple. Clever indeed.
The Take Home Series
Good, honest and useful videos for super simple hair. From the dude at Pacing the Panic Room DId you see his wife’s maternity series? She knows how to do it well.

So I like Ascot Friday, as a style blog – she thrifts a lot, reuses a lot, remakes a lot and then looks HOT in the lot.
And I am sure if I took a piece of fabric out of my stash and put two armholes in it, and wore it under a cardy, I’d look like I had just got tangled in my bedsheet in the morning and couldn’t get out of it rather than this. Just sayin’. The lady’s amazing.
Happy Sundays People!
Mr Happy Man. Awesome, beautiful short film.
Have beautiful happy Sundays everyone!
A Love Story
Yet another compelling reason to recycle your plastics. You don’t want unrequited love in your hands along with everything else now do you? 
Geek Chic
Oh. Yes indeed. I like. The luxest upcycling of e-waste I have seen yet. Thanks Paola Mirai. The cufflinks in his range would have to be the near perfect gift for the IT guys in our lives.
Work your hands to the bone dude, and convert all this stuff into smackloads of jewels. Far more pleasing.
Feet firmly on Planet Earth
Starfish Clothing stock some mean labels. Obviously their own fine work, as well as other great green stuff – such as the brilliant kowtow clothing and Terra Plana shoes.
I saw on their facebook page though, that this is Terra Plana’s last season. Tear. So should you be needing some new shoes for winter, nah let me say autumn, then get yourself along. They are LOVELY, they last brilliantly AND they have serious eco cred.

Not that I’ll be needing them – now that I am all ‘minimal’ in my wardrobe and everything – but do think its high time you got yourself some.
