It's Friday Guys, yay! That means one thing, its time for our Stuff We Love! This week our trio of goodies includes fun art, a style secret to share and a cute vintage store....


Jane Mount is a visual artist hailing from New York City, currently creating  a series of paintings which capture the spines of peoples favourite books called Ideal Bookshelf. Jane works a photograph of your favourite books, in a row or in a pile, and will lovingly render them in gouache and ink on paper. Such a beautiful idea in today's times when everyone we know has either an iPad or Kindle, and while we are all for tech innovations, we still love a beautiful bound hard copy book. Don't own your favourite book? That's okay, Jane will do her best to find it for you.

You can contact Jane to create your very own Ideal Bookshelf. What a perfect gift for a newly wed couple to join their favourite books together! Which books would sit on you and your partner's ideal bookshelf?

Pssssst...we are going to let you in on a little stylist secret, but you have to promise not to tell anyone okay? When we came across Virgos Lounge we were gob smacked. Truly stunning, vintage inspired dresses and gowns for under a €100? You must be kidding! But no, it really is true! A little more research told us that the brand is also a firm favourite with tons of stylish celebs and stylists alike.  These dresses would make the best bridesmaids dresses.

The company is a London based womenswear brand which was established in 2008 by three "Virgo" friends with a love for vintage clothing. The trio who's shared Zodiac sign inspired the name of the label, specialize in combining contemporary silhouettes and trends with classic vintage styles to create unique statement pieces for the modern woman. We think some of the pieces would make incredible bridesmaids gowns and super stylish wedding guest outfits and the pretty mix and match separates would look great for your honeymoon wardrobe too. In fact we just want one of everything! For more info pop on over to the Virgos Lounge website, make sure to let us know if you buy anything!

''Its Vintage Darling" is a pretty vintage china & homewares shop located in Armagh. They stock tons of vintage goodies from furniture, to hand bags, jewellery, homeware, china, textiles and so much more. They also specialise in unique one off up-cycled furniture pieces, giving once unloved items a new lease of life.
Stock changes very regularly and sells out quite fast, so if you spot an item you like, then you have got to be quick! It is a great little treasure trove for brides looking to source vintage props big and small and the prices are pretty reasonable too. The shop does not sell online as of yet but you can keep an eye on their Facebook page to see all of their new stock. We especially love their great selection of vintage maps and suitcases!
