IT WAS A PAELLA ON THE BACK TERRACE kind of weekend; and cheese trays and Serrano and baguettes with paté on Sunday, after spending a leisurely afternoon in the shade of a giant Moreton Bay fig tree while a fluttery wind rustled the leaves and we sipped our summery drinks and talked about life. Things can be such a whirlwind on weekdays–but weekends, weekends were made late mornings and cava nights … This week’s links include ballet and little white dresses paired with espadrilles; photographer Jacques Henri Lartigue, the new Ned Hotel and much, much more …
RECENTLY CAME ACROSS this chic and dramatic home in Ostermalm, Stockholm on Bárbara's blog, Living Gazette. The 142 square foot, four bedroom apartment was listed on the real estate site Lagerlings for 17.5 million SEK (about 2 million USD). After looking closely at the space, there seemed to be something oddly familiar about the space -- the herringbone flooring, leopard rug, and especially the ginger jar blinds in the kitchen. Of course, remembered then that it was the same home we had featured here in August 2015 as the home of Christine Roth, then the Global Marketing Director at GANT. The décor has changed somewhat, but some of Roth's artwork, as well as the blinds and leopard rug, remain the same.

A time for roaming the winding city streets in billowy lilac-coloured chiffon dresses and espadrilles, drinking cava on leafy terraces and picnicking on strawberries and raspberries on the beach in front of the glittery Mediterranean. Here are a few favourite moments of life lately ...
THESE LINKS ARE a little late as we still try to process the terribly sad events that unfolded in Manchester earlier this week. Perhaps it would be best to sum up our feelings with Poet Tony Walsh’s ode to the city and its people, which he performed in front of thousands at a vigil of peace in Albert Square yesterday. Listen here (UK) and here (US) and read the full poem below:
IMAGES features the work of commercial and editorial photographer and art director Jen Kay, whose sun-drenched glimpses of life in San Francisco have a bright, hazy and dreamlike quality to them. There are also travel adventures in Paris and Tulum, ruffled little white dresses and oysters and rosé . . .
Our recent Edit on How to Style Throw Cushions at Home & the Office was one of your favourites, so we thought we might follow-up with something we're even more obsessed with than designer throw cushions (if that is even possible): animal print. If you are a longtime reader at TIG, you will know of our love for these impossibly chic and worldly patterns, and especially for leopard print. Here are a few of our favourite ways to style these patterns at home-- from simple leopard throw cushions to full leopard chairs and even tiger chairs and cushions--here is a roundup of our favourite ways to work this timeless look into your home ...
