Mad Men style – clothing unfortunately

If you love Mad Men, you will love TLO’s (Project Rungay blog) posts on the Mad Men episodes and the styles that all the female characters wear. They do a fantastic job and I’d love to dissect the interiors as well, but feel a bit lacking in knowledge (but I’m still working on it).  So, if you haven’t checked it out – do!

Mid Century Food – Yummy!

If you have your head in a mid-century fog, you might have missed Mid-Century Menu a category/feature on “No Pattern Required”, where Ruth makes the long-suffering Tom try a myriad of fabulous (ahem, see the picture in the post? maybe not?) dishes!  The feature got so popular that Ruth has spun off a separate blog where she can abuse (oops, I meant “test”) more recipes on poor Tom. Here’s my most recent Mid-Century find! I
