The Beatles – Eleanor Rigby/Julia

Ok so this might be a bit of a guilty pleasure. My dad is a huge Beatles fan, as well as Band on The Run. The reason this is a guilty pleasure however is because it always reminds me of Mark Ramprakash’s tango from Strictly Come Dancing! I used to play the song a lot […]

Design – Room 211

It is a beautiful video as well, very fantasy like with the lighting, the dress, the wings and the old videos being played over Stacy as she sings. Elsie from A Beautiful Mess (one of my favourite blogs!) designed […]

This weeks curiosity comes courtesy of an advert in the Stylist issues dedicated to London Fashion. It had a lot of adverts in it, which normally I gloss over but the Mulberry on caught my eye.
