OUR POPULAR Weekend Links series is currently on hiatus, partly because we’ve been sharing our stories and discoveries so generously in the weekly newsletter that these links have started to feel like an echo.
In the golden hours of autumn, when sunlight slants through branches at just the right angle, the world takes on a burnished glow. Virginia Woolf once observed that “autumn seems to cry for a million golden quills to paint it”. Indeed, it’s a season that gilds everything it touches—from the last lingering leaves to the quiet sophistication of a perfectly tailored camel coat in the crisp morning air.
As autumn descends, the air grows crisp and the world transforms into a canvas of amber and gold. This fleeting season, with its gentle decay and whispered promises of renewal, invites introspection.
Monochromatic dressing in black or white is a sophisticated and timeless style choice that involves wearing different shades and textures of a single colour from head to toe.
WE SENT our Holiday Wishes to subscribers before Christmas and shared a quick update of life lately on Christmas Eve. While this note was meant for Christmas Day itself, we think the warmth of the season still lingers enough for a day-late greeting.
REVIVING a beloved series from our archives, we’re bringing back our curated collection of recent discoveries. Previously known as “10 Things We Loved this Week” and later evolving through various iterations like “(Five) Things We Love Lately” and “Things in my Saved Folder /001,” this edition offers an eclectic mix of cultural curiosities.
Many of you already know about Hyperreality, our weekly newsletter. Whether you’re new here or have been with us since the beginning, Hyperreality is a space that’s reminiscent of the early days of blogging.

In the heart of southwestern France, between Lacanau and the famous Bassin d’Arcachon, lies the commune of Le Temple in the Gironde department.
Explore our December discoveries, from museum wanderings to French château histories, perfume reviews to holiday mood boards—a curated collection of winter musings and festive inspirations.
The art of gifting lies in finding those special pieces that feel both thoughtful and unexpected. As the holiday season approaches, we've curated two carefully considered gift guides—one for the men in your life, and another featuring elevated essentials for yourself or those close to you.
IN THE quiet of autumn evenings, as twilight paints the sky in shades of lavender and gold, there’s a palpable shift in the air. It’s not just the crisper temperatures or the earlier sunsets, but a change in the very rhythm of life. Colette once wrote, “Autumn is the season of nostalgia, of memory, of looking back”. Yet it’s also a time of subtle anticipation, of cocooning ourselves in preparation for what’s to come.
We initially featured a portion of this shoot in 2013, and now, over a decade later, we've uncovered additional elements of Cinema Verité, the nearly 29-year-old fashion editorial starring Kate Moss.
With only eleven days left in August, our attention is (reluctantly) shifting to fall fashion, and one brand we've been particularly drawn to lately is COS (Collection of Style). This season, the brand's designs seem to echo the aesthetic of high-end label The Row, known for its refined minimalism.
