500 Days of Summer-- Retro-chic Inspirational
I looooved the freshness that Zooey Deschanel's clothes were oozing out in '500 days of summer'. I recently watched the movie and couldn't help myself from observing and craving for everything that she was wearing from head to toe. Truly retro-chic. Her 1960's or 70's hairdo with the bangs and...

I first heard this song by Tom Waits on CBC radio while working in the shop. It really grabbed my interest.

Moscow on the line

I am aware that several stereotypical aspects of Russian behaviour have been trying to ‘bite me’ recently.

Pietro Aretino (20 April 1492 - 21 October 1556) was an Italian writer, playwright, poet and satirist who wielded immense influence on contemporary art and politics, who was also a close friend of Titian, who executed this painting.
