There was something familiar and warm, freshness and cheerfulness, but also a lightness and harmony in the air in Saint-Tropez. Chic people walking around with raffia bags at the Sunday market, bougainvillea surrounding windows all over the city, pines and cypress, and the endless singing of cicadas ...
THIS WEEKEND WE TOOK the train farther than we've ever gone since lockdown began (about an hour and a half to another county) and it was the first time in nearly four months that I set foot inside a shop. Things were far from normal, as everyone was required to wear face masks while traveling and keep two meters apart at all times, but it seemed slightly more normal than leaving the house only to go for country walks ...
BEFORE THE LOCKDOWN, our Instagram feed was filled with fashion influencers in elaborate magazine-like editorials taken in exotic and far-flung locations. Over the past three months however, due to travel restrictions and stay at home guidance, we began seeing an influx of at-home mirror selfies ...
When I first saw the photos of this resort, I thought it would be the perfect place to spend the holidays, away from the city and the busy touristic streets. Located in the heart of Canyon Point’s rocky landscape, The Amangiri owes its reputation to ...
We live in a quintessential English countryside village, the kind that looks like it’s a movie set, a beautiful place with stone cottages that have names like Rosebank and Appletree Grange. It's the kind of place where there are cosy pubs and a greengrocer for fruits and vegetables ...
WE ARE BACK AT WORK, shooting for a client and the weather has happily been much more summer-like again, after days of cloud and rain. Amidst the marches and protests and worry about a second peak of the pandemic, shops reopened here, after long three months of lockdown ...

BECAUSE WE SOMETIMES post photos of our life lately, Instagram's algorithm has thrown many such similar images across our path, which is sometimes annoying and sometimes wonderful if it leads to the discovery of accounts such as @irenemylife.

It has been a few weeks now since the day, May 25, when George Floyd lost his life on a street in Minneapolis, after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes during an arrest for allegedly using a forged $20 bill. And during this time, there has been much unrest around the world, thousands of people coming together to protest the tragic, violent and senseless death of this unarmed black man and the many that came before him; a coming together to protest systemic racism, police brutality, and years upon years of racial injustice.
WE MISSED LAST week's links completely, for the first time in a very long time, if ever. The site was down for a couple of days due to technical difficulties, and the rest of the time we were having difficulty focusing on work or anything really, while the world was out en force, protesting the gruesome murder of George Floyd two weeks ago. It's difficult to put inspiration out into the world when you're feeling sad and overwhelmed ...
