Things We Love for Spring | 27.02.16

“You deserve a love who wants you disheveled, with everything and all the reasons that wake you up in a haste and the demons that won’t let you sleep.

You deserve a love who makes you feel safe, who can consume this world whole if he walks hand in hand with you; someone who believes that his embraces are a perfect match with your skin.

You deserve a love who wants to dance with you, who goes to paradise every time he looks into your eyes and never gets tired of studying your expressions.

You deserve a love who listens when you sing, who supports you when you feel shame and respects your freedom; who flies with you and isn’t afraid to fall.

You deserve a love who takes away the lies and brings you hope, coffee, and poetry” —Frida Kahlo

The Saint-Tropez Zip & the new issue of Vogue Paris, pretty, pretty underthings and golden Guccis, here are a few things we love this week for Springtime . . .

Style File: The Blazer for Spring 2025

The blazer‘s journey began in the 1800s aboard the HMS Blazer, where the ship’s captain outfitted his crew in navy double-breasted jackets with brass buttons for a visit from Queen Victoria. These distinctive uniforms earned the name “blazer” for their bright appearance and the ship they represented.

Design Inspiration: Decorating with Busts /002

WE FIRST wrote about decorating with busts at our Weekly Newsletter after coming across the image of the bathroom (below) and loved the way the bust was displayed. This discovery lead to learning about the history of displaying busts in homes, which led us on a fascinating journey through art, culture, and social status spanning several centuries.

Design Inspiration: Platform Beds

A platform bed is a modern and minimalist bed frame characterised by its low-profile design and solid, flat surface that supports a mattress directly without requiring a box spring.
