The things we do for love. London mother Victoria Hiley has generously donated her breast milk to the Icecreamists restaurant in London’s Covent Garden, who are using it as the base for their new range of ice cream, called, funnily enough, Baby Gaga.

The return of the Brionvega rr226

Italian brand Brionvega has resurrected the classy Radiofonografio piece first created in 1965. The updated version is just like the original turntable/radio unit, but also has a CD/DVD player.

Never ever, ever, ever, ever park here

Some friendly advice for the neighbours, who simply don’t get it, or street art? You decide which one it is.

Joe Kievitt

It’s refreshing to see artists like Joe Kievitt who are contented to explore the beauty in simple forms and asymmetrical patterns. Read more

In the Little Companions Rebelling Against the Magician t-shirt, label The Balletcats capture everything that we love about the holiday season: rebellion, flames, and striped pants. Nothing short of a classic family gathering! While everything that The Balletcats do is genius, this shirt has an extra bit of zip: it’s an exclusive for Lost At E Minor, and available to buy at our online store.
