It is an excellent area for authentic British-ness, and enjoy such simple things as fish and chips. If you're into "shabby chic", or looking for "vintage" inspirations, for fashion as well as interior design, a trip to the Hastings Old Town, will stir your creative juices, no doubt.
The Hastings Old Town - High Street, George Street and the surrounding area - is full of different kinds of shops, for home, lifestyle and fashion, as well as watering holes, eateries etc., and buckets load of old-fashioned retro charm.
Hastings is still a working fishermen's port. You can enjoy a lovely day on the pebble beach and watch fishing boats returning with the day's catch against the setting sun. Pick up some fresh fish (including big juicy scallops from the nearby Rye Bay) in the local fishmongers, some of which are set up in the original fishermen's huts that look like upside down boats.
I've taken a number of shots of the town for design inspiration, so do check out the slide show below.
Meanwhile, British artist and designer, Emma Ball, who calls herself Queen of all things Coastal, has recently introduced her newest design simply called ‘Coastal’.A wash bag, make up bag/pencil case, handy shopper and a chic PVC bowling bag (great for overnights or even the gym!) make up this delightfully retro range that is sure to appeal to woman and girls of all ages. A plethora of deckchairs in every colour and pattern under the sun, seagulls and the odd beach hut go the way to capture the essence of the great British coastline.
You can find Emma Ball products in various shops throughout the UK. Alternatively, for the full range log on to her website emmaball.co.uk – and keep checking back for new products as Emma is forever visiting and painting new places and seasons!
