Weekly Blog Roundup: 6/29/2012

Another week down and time for the weekend. And to start you off, some good link readin':

• Lots of Ivy talk this week, starting off with an article recommended by Nick Rossi on the influence of Ivy League style on London fashion scene of the 1960s.
• The Syllabus gets ready for an upcoming exhibition of Ivy Style Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.
• Speaking of this exhibition, an accompanying book will soon be released: Radical Conformist. Yale books uses the opportunity to catch up with J.P. Gaul and his love of Ivy Style.
• An obituary for yet another historic, mid-century restaurant, the Riviera, located in Westminster, CA.
• For the more dandy-oriented dresser, a nice write-up on Michael Fish and Simon Dee.
• Anorak Thing explores the influence of Ian Dury on Madness.
• For those shopping for vintage clothing in London, here are some great suggestions for you.
• I'm not a musician and when it comes to guitars, all I can really tell you is they have 5 strings. But A Modernist is a great guitarist and gets into something that interests me: the design of the Fender Telecaster.
• Great... another design book that's going to hurt my wallet. This one, on psychedelic graphic design (one of my faves), called Electric Banana, reviewed by Monkey Picks.
• And now, get in a dancing mood for the weekend with this find on Derek's Daily 45!

That's it for today. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
