AT THE END of last week we went to Scotland to visit P’s grandmother for the first time in months due to the lockdown. It was wonderful to see her again, as well as neighbours who popped in, but we all continued to keep two meters apart and wore masks to every shop we visited ...

The Liverpool duo’s new track is the result of a couple of recording seasons – one in Liverpool and one in London – after the Grammy-nominated producers expressed their wish to collaborate with Foals.
The Dior Bobby is everywhere. The new Dior icon bag is called Bobby, after Monsieur Dior’s beloved canine companion, and the design is very classic and curated, with its clean lines and strict colour palette of black, cream, camel and blue Dior Oblique canvas.
This summer I have been mostly wearing earthy tones, linens and lighter shades, and effortless pieces―not following trends, but always choosing wearable pieces every season. As I've been spending hours going through the most popular and mentioned brands this season, I wanted to share with you a few pieces that I currently have on my mid-summer wishlist...
IT IS THE HEIGHT of summer and we can't seem to resist bright, luscious colours lately―rich floral wallcoverings and dusky lilac bamboo chairs; a pink satin robe for late Sunday mornings ...
THIS PAST SUNDAY we booked in for lunch at our favourite pub for the first time in many months. There is a rose garden with socially distanced tables set up and a very efficient system in place that made us feel comfortable and safe venturing out into the world again after so many weeks of lockdown.
James Blake has released a new track called “Are You Even Real?” Blake told Apple Music the track came out of initial sessions with the accomplished US writer and Mad Decent-affiliated artist Starrah.

THERE IS A THEORY that people are more productive in beautiful office spaces. If this theory were true, then Office E, in Berlin, Germany must have the highest levels of productivity ever.
These past summer days, I have been lounging around reading Find Me by André Aciman, the author of Call me By your Name. Contrary to what everyone expected, he wrote on twitter: “I would actually love a sequel to Call Me By Your Name. In fact I am writing one.”
IF YOU'VE BEEN READING for a while, you will know of our love for farm and country house style lately, and why we would be naturally drawn to this wonderful 19th century home in the centre of Barcelona.
ON SATURDAY NIGHT, we went to the one pub in town that was open, our first time out in over 15 weeks of lockdown. There was a roaring fire, friendly people, even a happy black lab. It wasn't exactly the same as always, of course, with hand sanitiser stations and social distancing, but everyone was nevertheless in good spirits, happy to finally see other people around, even if from a safe distance.
THIS WEEK'S Mini Trends is filled with summery, beachy vibes, even if the rest of the summer will be spent somewhat in lockdown. If you've been scrolling through Instagram, you'll most likely have noticed that all the fashionistas have been traipsing about with a chic wicker market bag ...
Somehow lately, the conversations have often shifted towards cars. It is true that here in Paris the traffic has increased since the Coronavirus Crisis, as instead of taking public transportation more Parisians have taken their weekend cars out during the week as well ...
IT HAS BECOME one of these typical British summers, with the weather suddenly turning chilly and rainy and even blustery and stormy at times. We had about three glorious days of summertime last week and made the most of it by spending as much time outside as possible, knowing that it couldn't last.
Tourist says of the new single, “'Last' to me, is a reflection on grief. I started this track with James a few years ago, and while writing it we noticed that we were hearing the lyric differently, I was hearing “you know you’re lost” whereas James was hearing “you know you last”. The duality of that truth resonated with me, as both meanings are applicable when someone leaves us. It has struck a more personal chord recently, as recently one of my dearest friends passed away very suddenly.”
