Elsa, this post is for you, and it's filled with wonderful decor inspiration (and shopping links!), from chic cane armchairs and elegant table lamps; brass shelves and towel bars and wicker placemats, and of course, a perfect selection of gold ...
Year: 2020
AFTER STORM CIARA moved on, the news was filled with calls to “batten down the hatches” for Storm Dennis, which was to pass through this past weekend.
WE CAME UPON this elegant home designed by McALPINE Architecture and Interior Design Studios through a Pinterest rabbit hole that lead to the pleasant discovery of a firm whose work we hadn't been familiar with before.
The best James Bond themes balance the moody with the meta; they portend danger, while winking directly at the camera. Throughout the ’60s and ’70s, themes by Shirley Bassey, Nancy Sinatra, and Tom Jones created a haunting signature sound that combined Vegas bombast with international mystery.
Mereces un amor que te
quiera despeinada, con todo
y las razones que te levantan
de prisa, con todo y los demonios
que no te dejan dormir.
WE HAPPENED UPON a lilac-coloured faux leather halter top with matching trousers, and from that moment on, all we could think about were spring things and pretty, pretty pastels. And so, we've gathered up a few of our current favourites, from soft hotel bed linens to rose-coloured wine glasses and more ...
Every year I try to humbly honour Brancusi’s work with a few words. The 19th of every February is marked by his anniversary: the birth of Romanian-born sculptor, painter and photographer Constantin Brâncuși (February 19, 1876 – March 16, 1957).
STORM CIARA was in full force this past weekend with gale force winds, driving rain, and even hail. Needless to say, we spent most of the time indoors, keeping cosy by the fire, watching films and trying out new recipes (P made roasted cauliflower with creamy pesto risotto).
FOR THE SECOND YEAR in a row, Giambattista Valli did not stage an haute couture show, opting instead for an exhibition of his spring collection, open to the public. “Sometimes the fashion world is too exclusive and sometimes it’s nice to be inclusive,” the designer told Vogue. An open presentation was held at the National Gallery de Jeux Pom in Paris.
There are cosy fireplaces and crystal chandeliers and weathered cane settees, checkered dining chairs and so much charm that it makes one want to drop everything and move to Normandy ...
Hinds’ sophomore album I Don’t Run arrived just under two years ago. The Madrid quartet has moved at a pretty steady clip since they first popped up in the middle of the ’10s, and the release of “Riding Solo” in December hinted we might be on the cusp of another Hinds album.
WAS REMARKING recently how one of my pet peeves is when people don't know the difference between its and it's. Bad spelling and grammar in general are annoying, but when people mix up its and it's, especially so. And in this age of social media everything ...
This year has begun with conversations on all the social platforms about age and and how to gracefully embrace ageing. Chanel ambassadrice, Caroline de Maigret, published her second book, Older, but Better, but Older, on this very topic ...
WHILE WE MAY not be the biggest fans of Kanye and Kim Kardashian West, we are very much longtime fans of Axel Vervoordt. In fact, we once wrote a piece about how the Belgian designer and the musician met (How Kanye West met Axel Vervoordt, This Is Glamorous, April 26, 2018) ...
THIS WEEKEND, the weather warmed up enough to show us a glimpse of spring. All through the village, winter blossoms are blooming, a surprise to us, for we thought all the bright yellow petals on bushes nexts to garden paths and pink blossoms on the archways of trellises would wait for at least another few weeks.
