Cary Grant

I grew up watching pretty much every movie with Cary Grant, thanks to my mother's love for classic films. I don't even need to begin to talk about his suave demeanor or handsome face... you can see it all....

I Met the Walrus

I Met the Walrus -" In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina have collaborated to create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack. A spellbinding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit and timeless message, I Met the Walrus was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short and won the 2009 Emmy for 'New Approaches' (making it the first film to win an Emmy on behalf of the internet)."

Stanley Kubrick's - Boxes is a made for television documentary by Jon Ronson. After hearing about this film for quite some time I finally got the chance to see it... He's an insane genius but his movies are flawless - now we can understand why.

You can stream it from youtube in five parts.

I Love Luggage

Sam’s Garage Briefcases



"An ode to retro luggage of the 50s and 60s, Sam’s Garage briefcases feature silk screened graphics on perfectly bent plywood cases. The shape of the briefs feel like the luggage of the time period but the materials and screen prints add a modern-meets-vintage touch. Not your typical luggage for stashing a change of clothes"

Cannes

63rd Cannes Film Festival is going on right now and...

Korean director Im Sang-Soo's film, The Housemaid (Hanyo) -remake of Kim Ki-young’s 1960 movie - looks stunning...

Summertime Sun Tea

Blame it on my Arizona upbringing... but there isn't anything better than Sun Tea in the summertime, and because summer seems to be upon us - lets start brewing. I usually brew about 4-6 bags of various teas in a pitcher of water, the best is to add orange or lemon slices and of course ginger and mint are always great with green teas.

A Decade in Fashion

Dazed and Confused revealed AnOther Magazine's latest spread....
"In celebration of this decade in fashion AnOther Magazine has paired the most influential designers with fashion's finest accomplices; the actresses, models, musicians and muses who inspire with their sense of style and the power of their image. The fashion houses granted AnOther Magazine personal access to their archives and the fashion editors carefully paired each icon with a look by one designer from the past 10 years. Two portfolios by Craig McDean and Hedi Slimane were co-ordinated over 18 months, with shoots in Paris, London, New York and Los Angeles, involving thousands of conversations between hundreds of people around the world. Inside the magazine, Susannah Frankel reflects on the collections, creative minds and cultural events that shaped the current fashion landscape and asks: what's next? "

Edwin Land

A collection of photographs by Edwin Land, the founder of Polaroid, which has been collected by the Polariod empire are now being auctioned off at Sotheby's with much argument. The company, as you can imagine, is in debt and looking to make some serious money but many are arguing that these photos should be put in a museum.
