Shopping: Things We Love for Spring| 24.02.16

With the days becoming longer & brighter and there are already early Byzantine-coloured blossoms on the branches, the peonies can not be far along; but until then, here are a few things we love for Spring — silk pajamas and lacy bralettes, totes and glittery shoes and slip dresses the colour of blush . . .

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond

E. E. Cummings, 18941962

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me,i and
my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

There’s something undeniably enchanting about November – the crisp air, the first hints of winter, and the promise of festive gatherings just ahead.

Style File: November Shopping List

With Christmas exactly one month away, and our neighbourhood’s lighting ceremony on Thursday evening, one can’t help but get a little caught up in all the holiday excitement. Here are a few things on our list, from the kinds of pieces that feel made for this in-between moment of the year, when November is slipping quietly toward winter and everything seems to slow under the softer light.

A Few Things We Loved this Week 12.11.25

In our Weekly Newsletter, we often highlight a few things that inspired us that week (you can see those here). It’s been a while since we’ve shared something similar in this space, so we thought we’d bring it back for the holiday season—this time with a focus on meaningful offerings you might want to share with others…

The clocks went back this past Sunday, and all anyone can talk about is how dark it’s become. It is dark, and it will take some adjusting. After all, it’s that season again – the one Hemingway said made you sad without knowing why.

Style File: October Shopping List

The light is slipping away earlier and earlier, and once British Summer Time ends on the 26th, we’ll lose even more of it. I won’t pretend I’m taking it well. People are posting their loafers and soft sweaters, but outside it’s cold, wet, and sharp with wind.

Lately at our Newsletter, Hyperreality /005

It’s been three months since the last our last newsletter update, though it feels both longer and shorter than that – like most things lately. Since then, we’ve moved constantly: Scotland to England, city to city, trains and overnights and cafes that all blur together now. Glasgow, London, Stamford, Manchester. A collage of impressions.
