Daydreaming: On Days Like These

The classic intro from the movie The Italian Job (1969) starring Sir Michael Caine and Noel Coward. The character is crusing a Lamborghini Miura through the Italian alps down to the city of Turino while Matt Monro is singing On Days Like These. So dreamy and perfect, wishing I was down there right now. What do you daydream about today?

Ultra Swank takes you back in time into the kitsch, chic and swank living of the 50s, 60s and the 70s.

Ultra Swank is run by Chris, a Swede born in the wrong decade that currently resides in Barcelona. Read more
