a day at the beach

*

It's been warm here in England the last few days but not nearly as a propper summer day back in Romania... I can only dream of hot days and pretty swimsuits...
If you fancy the charm of retro beach pictures, take a look at this flickr group, it has a lovely vintage summer holiday feeling that will definitely make you smile .

I love the work of artist Vincenzo Rizzo. Check out his etsy shop, for more of these cool and pretty inexpensive prints.

The Vanities Girls

OK guys so you all know I have a guilty pleasure for pin-ups...so here's moooore from Vanity Fair


Since 1992, Vanity Fairs Vanities section has opened with a full-page portrait of a promising young star. In September 2006, they tweaked the format: the Vanities opener now features an up-and-coming actress in a 50s-style pinup shot. These shapely ingénues are on the cusp of fame or have just hit it big; they have names you need to know and faces you won’t have trouble remembering. Here’s a look at all the bombshells who’ve struck a playful pose in the new retro style.

Here's some photographs by Romanian artist Florin Cristescu. They kind of match the mood I'm in...
I like the geometry of his compositions, the powerful lines ... they seem to make the world feel like this abstract space in which humans are just an unexpected appearance.
