Dwell Mixed Message Mug
New in at Dwell is the Mixed Messages Mug.
The mug comes with 150 numbers and characters so you can create your own personalised message. The end result looks rather like a ransom note, which always brings to mind a punk aesthetic. It looks as if it would hold quite a lot of tea too, which is always a good thing in our book.
The mug costs £16.95 from the Dwell website.

God Save the Queen Cushion
Rockett St George have come over all monarchist thinking about the upcoming royal nuptials when they are promoting the latest Barbara Coupe design, but her God Save the Queen cushion, could just as easily be a reference to the old punk song.
The cushion is made from jute hessian, giving it a coarse and decidedly not regal texture, with the slogan hand printed across it in a rather DIY looking font. It is stuffed with a duck feather cushion pad and measures 48 cm by 32 cm.
The cushion costs £46 from Rockett St George.
Hairstyles: Ancient to Present
We've shown you some practical guides to vintage hairdressing but for a different approach you may want to pick up a copy of Hairstyles: Ancient to Present.
Written by Charlotte Fiell and published by her Fiell Publishing company, it's a huge doorstopper of a book: with over one thousand images and 576 pages of hair inspiration. It charts some of the most elaborate styles throughout history, going right back to ancient Greece, but with plenty of twentieth-century fancy folicles to explore too. There's the flapper bob, Twiggy's crop and the mohawk just for starters.
It's not a cheap buy – the book is priced £49.95 and is currently available on Amazon for £47.75 – but potentially a sound investment if you are considering a new hairstyle.
