This is a neat idea, submit your size and take a short quiz and they’ll send you a ’scientifically calculated’ shirt. I’d love to see the shirts people get, and if they like them! Hipstery.com

Hey guys! Hectic Hectic… Hectic! Here’s a few good things.

• The brand new finestimaginary website went live today! we have a print-ad hitting in a few days so I wanted to get the bugs ironed out beforehand. Take a look, let me know if nothing works as it should!
• Harry potter world opens in Spring 2010! Currently reading Half Blood Prince again, can’t get enough of the potter books >.<

• How amazingly awwww is that photo? I love it so much.

• Adorable headboard, we keep meaning to reupholster ours but haven’t found the time yet. I’d love a fabric like the one above!

• This book is fucking amazing. Someone buy me it!

• Photoshop filter heroes t-shirt, pure goodness. Closeup of the design on their store.
• I’ve been having so much fun driving around this week, amazing. Such freedom!

• New Tim Walker shoot with alien girls and UFO’s, no Bowie, though. The Lady Who Fell to Earth.

• Speaking of Tim Walker, I love this juicy couture ad. So far away from Paris Hilton.

Is summer almost over? It’s kinda starting to look that way, but I love Autumn so I’m not really complaining :)

• Beautiful T-shirts and other printed things, click here to see more
• Some lovely polyvore sets and ideas of what to wear in rainy weather by Cygnet

• This was one of my highlights of the week on the CR blog, designer Nicholas Saunders shares some of the work he did for the Half Blood Prince movie. Some really nice vintagey images, definitely worth a look.
• A must read – Sincerely, John Hughes.

• Epic haircuts, you won’t be able to click away! http://dontjudgemyhair.com/. So far as the one above goes, wtf is going on there? What are they faking surprise at?! And did that kid grow up to be teen wolf?!
• Making plans. I picked up the ‘adult learners’ catalogue from the library, Adam & I will be taking a course together and then I’ll be taking another one on my own. Exciting! Seems like I’m determined not to have any free evenings :O
• What do you guys think of the topshop horror girl collection? I’m not very impressed tbh, looks like a bunch of amateurs browsed some of the DIY punk forums and created a collection from it. I much prefer this panda sweater.

• Last friday night we decided to go a-drinking in Huddersfield. The place was literally CRAWLING with people over 40, making out in bars, feeling each other up. It was ridiculously gross. We went to Warehouse, which is generally filled with underaged kids… the oldies were there too! I took to insulting them by way of the text-in screen. It was like being on a Cougar safari, swear to god. Anyway, we geeked out and abused the text screen with epicness that could not be beat, you can see the start of our geek onslaught in that photo…. they turned they text screen off shortly after. I thank you.

Hey kids, threadless’ annual back to school sale just started. Head over and grab yourself some cheap shirts! Woowoow! Also, enter the FinestImaginary giveaway ;)

I heartily suggest 3 keyboard cat moon :D:D

Seeing as I didn’t do a good stuff post last week (‘cos of kitten preparation more than anything), I thought I’d bring you a bit of a extended edition this week. Enjoy!

• Next time I’m in New York I really want to check out this new park that’s just opened. The High Line was a disused overhead rail section in Manhattan (Chelsea area) that some clever people have turned into a public park! What an amazing concept!!

• These chanel pumps are hot. Not too sure about the mustard colour, though…

• I’m not a poetry reader, but I could really get into it if the book covers looked like this… I know, shh. Books/Covers & all that.

• Woah… this stuff is almost enough to give you a typogasm! Lovely looking things.

• Now that bbq season is upon us, I have GOT to get me know of these babies!

• Nice to see some good T-shirts from the UK. Sad to see a print shop :( I miss printing :(… soon, soon.
• Nice little write up about my favourite city, Manchester, on design*sponge. It’s fun to read about some of my favourite spots! Ah, Manchester. I lived there for my 3 years at University and Adam still studies there, but I miss it :*(

• The D&AD awards were held last night, you can see the full list of winners here. My favourites include the poke balloonacy balloon race (which hiphop took part in back in the day!) and the royal mint coins (above).
