Unhappy Hipsters

It's lonely in the modern world, or so proclaims the tagline of this Dezeen Magazine meets Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy design tumblr, Unhappy Hipsters. Here are a few gems you'll find on it:

"The dog’s ability to fully surrender aroused in him a feeling of discontent and resentment."

"The things that once so defined him — shag carpeting, Room & Board sofas, monogamy — now suffocated him."

"You can come out when you can properly explain the differences between Modernist architecture and postmodern ornamentation."

Thanks to @pastemagazine for the link and if you aren't already following them on Twitter, I advise you to do so!

D.I.Y. Art Deco Headband

She sees it. She likes it. She makes it.

P.S. I Made This is the ultra hip & incredibly resourceful D.I.Y. blog by Erica Domesek. I have only just recently discovered the amazingness of her online portlolio. You can also follow her handmade shenanigans on Twitter!

This beauteous headband dates back from a 27th July post. Simple to make, yet entirely elegant!

Market Publique

Market Publique is the newly launched (as of March 8th) and ONLY online marketplace for vintage fashion.

The SHOP operates much like eBay. Sellers may upload their items for a small fee at auction or month long spots. Not anyone can just sell right away though. Clothing, as well as photography, must align with the website's sleek image and quality.

I had always hoped something like this would come into internet fruition and am looking forward to it's evolution!

Lifestyles of the Tragically Hip

It's tagline: "is in your place". More appropriately it should read, "you wish it was your place."

This is The Selby, a photography blog by Todd Selby that showcases living spaces of the rich & ridiculously creative.


If you can handle it's more than a little pretentious vibe, I'm sure you'll eat it up. I sure as heck did.
