WE ASKED YOU ON our Instagram Stories what you thought of the Netflix series Emily in Paris and you had a lot of feelings. Many of you loved it, while others had issues with one thing or another, but one thing was certaiini: we were all ready for a Sex and the City type series again. And of course, there are all those glimpses of Paris, as charming and chic as we've always remembered, right down to the elevator-less apartments with questionable plumbing ...
Year: 2020
The nostalgia at the heart of ‘Summer Of Now’, the final track from James Blake’s new EP, is something that we all seem to be yearning for of late. The track’s narrator repeatedly references the summer of 2015, in this context a happier, almost rose-tinted time, comparing themselves unfavourably as “the summer of now”.
THINGS HAVE BEEN a bit stressful lately―our site is full of holes at the moment where images should be (long story); I am currently locked out of the TIG facebook account (Does anyone have a fix for this?); and the pandemic is taking hold again...
Walking around the glamorous and chic corners of Bon Marché, I came across two mannequins styled with knitted sweater vests, while salesperson was dressing, at the exact moment that I was passing by, another mannequin with a cream knitted vest over a striped shirt.
THE NEWS HAS been dire lately and as always during stressful times, it can sometimes be difficult to be creative and come up with interesting things to share. This space, a pavilion that's set off from the main house on this South Australian property, is modern and minimalist and very calming with its Tuscan-inspired fluid shapes and neutral palette ...
THIS WEEKEND we watched Sofia Coppola's new film, On the Rocks, and on Sunday, ordered a Sunday roast takeaway from the pub up the street, since we've stopped going to pubs a few weeks ago now, after the numbers of covid cases began climbing again. It's unsettling times and everything seems up in the air, but we're both extremely resilient and used to going with the flow and adapting, and we have the crazy stories to prove it ...
Porches’ Aaron Maine released a new album, Ricky Music, at the beginning of the year right as lockdown started. This summer, he’s remixed Girlpool and helped out his bud Dev Hynes to remix Tame Impala, and today he’s back with a new song of his own, “I Miss That.”
Paris Women’s Spring 2021 ended on a rainy Tuesday (the 6th of October) after 8 days filled with digital and (still) physical shows. There wasn’t the same business and the same euphoria on the streets, but there was still hard work and creativity shared on the runways.
WE'VE COVERED the work of Leanne Ford before here at TIG, but this project, with its fieldstone fireplace and log cabin vibe, has drawn our attention to the American interior designer once again. Set in Rustic Canyon, a residential neighbourhood and canyon in eastern Pacific Palisades on the west side of Los Angeles, California ...
P AND I ALWAYS HAVE all of these interesting conversations about everything and often I think, I have to tell them this, or I have to tell them that, but when it comes time to tell you, here on Mondays, I can't remember a thing. The world feels even crazier these past few days than it has before (I know it hardly seems possible) ...
Released October 2, 2020. We are pumped about this FULL LENGTH album from the dance-beat maestro of fun The Polish Ambassador! Put on your yellow onesie space suit, folks, and comfy shoes (or none at all) and let’s get groovin. Try out the first track and we’re going to venture to say you might get hooked. This one’s called “Time’s Running In” and is fully bodied at 12 tracks.
HAPPENED UPON THIS wonderfully elegant home in Lattingtown, New York by Ferguson & Shamamian Architects while searching for fitness studio décor for an upcoming project. I, of course, immediately fell for its decidedly elegant vibe of chintz and chandeliers and Venetian glass mirrors, balloon curtains and sweeping staircase, wall sconces and walk-in dressing rooms.
Reminiscing over the good things that have happened recently, and despite all the terrible news and the stress around the new normal, I wanted to share with you a dear place that stole my heart: Soorts-Hossegor. A commune in the Landes department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France ...
ONE OF THE BEST things about the changing of the seasons is all the different fruits and vegetables that signal each one. Summers in Spain meant sandía in the mornings and springtime means lots of sweet, dark cherries. Right now, in early autumn, it's apples, hanging heavy from all the trees scattered about the countryside, and my most favourite of all, fig season ...
THIS WEEKEND WAS a whirl of films and books and music, all set to the backdrop of a roaring fire, the cottage cosy while outside, leaves fell. We've been talking a lot about everything that has been going on in the world and it can be a bit overwhelming to think about it all, but right now ...
