Inspired by Don Draper's advertising genius and a love for all things vintage, we've tracked down some popular advertisements from yesteryear to get you in the spirit of summer.

My town has its own little lake, and in the summer most kids either join the swim team or take sailing lessons. As I'd done the former, yesterday's sailing excursion out of Oyster Bay consisted of my mother manning the jib and my boyfriend, the tiller and main sail whilst I relaxed(ish, the water was rawther choppy) and soaked in the views.
