Smashing Magazine . . . Is Quite Smashing : )

If you like to surf the web with the keyword "retro," I found a really cool site that I think everyone will enjoy called: Smashing Magazine.

Lots of free stuff; i.e., wallpapers, fonts, graphics, tips, advice and my favorite ... ads from the past. Their first paragraph says it all : )

Retro and vintage designs are often considered as being outdated, looking old, unattractive and dull. That’s not true. Although compared to modern design, retro is mostly a completely different realm, it has a large variety of benefits modern graphic designers often tend to overlook. And that’s a pity. Because we, as designers, can earn a lot from it.

Nostalgic designs arise feelings, awake memories and better manage to involve broad range of readers even although they don’t really realize it. Furthermore, retro can look cool and offer readers or visitors something they haven’t expected at all. So why not try to impress them with some impressive vintage art for a change?

Below you’ll find the celebration of retro and vintage design — ads, illustrations, book covers, pins and posters from 1920-1980s. The images weren’t necessarily created in the mid of 20th century. Vintage is living today which is why this post also features artists and designers who make use of the vintage and retro style in their works.

Please notice: if after reading this post you’ll experience some need for buying ice cream, chewing gum or eating sausages, it’s not our fault.

Trend Alert ~ Rockabilly Hairstyle's ... The Bun

Fabulous article on BellaSugar on how to acheive perfect Rockabilly Hair. And there description is right on queue: "Rockabilly hair can best be described as a modern take on the bun—but it has more height, added texture, and just a little bit of edginess, since the look doesn't require every single hair to be in place."

The look can easily be created at home by following these five simple steps.

1. Use a little bit of Phytovolume Actif Maximizing Volume Spray while blow-drying hair to give it shape and height.
2. Next, Isolate a section of hair at the top and spritz it with a firm hold hairspray.
3. Then, wrap hair around four hot rollers and let it set for fifteen minutes.
4. Next, pull the rest of your hair into a ponytail and secure with a hair elastic (choose a color closest to your own hair color).
5. Let the curls flop to one side and secure the ponytail to the top your head with bobby pins. Overlap the curls, pin them and then mist your entire head again with hairspray.

And, if you want a blast from the past check out the Hair Archives ... Great site with humor, old magazine shots of women's hair from the 30's on up. Very fun : )
