IT BEGAN WITH the image above, a Parisienne dressed in a belted trench with white ankle socks and loafers, things grew from there and before we knew it, we had another folder filled with autumn/winter style inspiration, from cosy shearling and pile to belted puffer coats, baseball caps with blazers and trench coats and extra long woollen scarves, jumpers worn as scarves, clogs and capes, ultra-light cashmere sweaters and more ...

Albanian-born Ilirida Krasniqi is a dentist by day, and a style influencer when work is over. Based in Copenhagen, she has already caught the eye of Vogue Paris one to follow for her ability to capture the energy of the moment. We love her decidedly lady-like style: high-waisted trousers with crisp white shirts, belted trenches and tweed blazers, mules and kitten heels and strappy sandals...
CONTINUING WITH our series that we began last week about the things we like lately and this week, we're looking at the Isabel Marant Spring 2022 Ready-to-Wear runway show; a new hotel opening in Paris this month; Virginie Viard's Chanel Spring 2022 presentation; a bright and spacious Haussmanian apartment by Festen; beautiful minimalist knits, and the elegant work of Studio Ko. Of course, the Caucasus mountains in Russia (above) in full bloom by Daniel Kordan is on the list as well ...
WHILE IT HAS been sunny lately and all the leaves are still wonderfully green with only a few touches of yellow here and there, and only a few that have fallen along pathways and around the foot of signs at coffee and ice cream shops, it was blustery today. The kind of blustery wind that has a coolness attached to it, the kind that is meant to shake leaves from trees and carry them away ...
We've already seen actual yellow leaves on the treetops and many more fallen ones on the ground. The air feels brisk and the clouds seem to hovering around more persistently these days, so there's no denying that autumn is well and truly on its way. Rather than be glum about it, we have decided to put together an inspiration board for you, of outfits (and the key pieces to buy) that will help you make the transition from these last fading summer days into the chilly mornings of autumn ...
Thyme is a restored historic Southrop Manor Estate dating from Roman times in Gloucestershire, a county in South West England that comprises part of the Cotswold Hills, part of the valley of the River Severn, and the entire Forest of Dean
YES, WE KNOW, it's only been officially autumn for a month, but with the nights drawing in so quickly now, the bright yellow leaves falling off the trees, the wet gloomy skies, and British Summer Time ending at the end of the month, we're already dreaming of sunnier times and warmer days. If the dark days of autumn and the dreary days of winter must be tolerated, then we'll do it with cosy evenings fireside, and also through plenty of daydreaming. These images, that came floating through our feed this week, of places around Mallorca are a perfect place to start ...
WE HAPPENED UPON The Sparrow Hotel on Victoria's Secret model Elsa Hosk's Instagram feed, the warm pink walls, marble fireplace and crystal chandelier drawing us in to take a closer look. Located in a restored fin de siècle building by Stureplan, Stockholm's landmark square, the 73-room 4-star boutique hotel is right in the city centre. Humlegårdsparken park is nearby, and Djurgården, with its museums and cafés is just a walk away.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE since we've covered the Met Gala—2014, in fact—(here and here), and once again in 2018. Of course, it was cancelled last year due to the pandemic, but this year, it was brought back and there was so much social media coverage of it, it's clear that everyone is relieved to have some happy distraction to report on for a change ...
IF YOU HAVE been reading for a long time, you will know that it is a tradition, every year, around this time, for us to post one Lasting One Last Longing Look at Summertime. Last year, during lockdown, may have been missed ...
BEIJING-BORN Savi of @savislook's home was first featured here in our piece on the Camaleonda Sofa by Mario Bellini. The Weibo and YouTube influencer often gives glimpses of her home on her Instagram page and its filled with old-school vibes: 50s farmhouse meets mid-century modern with a nod to the 70s by way of an orange striped shag rug ...
WE HAPPENED upon this bright 100m2 top floor Paris apartment in the 17th arrondissement on the Côté Maison Instagram page and was immediately drawn to its laid-back bohemian romantic style. Home to a family of four, the busy couple hired Quitterie de Pascal to carry out a complete renovation on the space as well as the 25m2 of rooftop terrace space, with interior decoration services complete with furnishings ...
We first wrote about Christo and Jeanne-Claude in January, when Sotheby's announced the sale of some of the artists' work. Bulgarian Christo Vladimirov Javacheff and Morrocan Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon met in Paris in 1958. In 1961, three years after they met in Paris, Christo and Jeanne-Claude began imagining and creating temporary works of art in public spaces. They would marry in 1962 and become one of the world's most famous artistic collaborations ...
CHANCES ARE, you've already come across the quirky and whimsical work of Gab Bois. The 21-year-old Montreal-based artist's career trajectory reads like a do-what-you love fairytale: she was a year-and-a-half into a bachelor’s degree to become an elementary school teacher when she began to post her photography on her Instagram account, @gabbois. Fast forward to 569k followers, solo and group exhibitions, a residency and many high-end brand collaborations later, and Bois, who never planned to make a career out of her photographic work, has put her studies on hold to pursue a career in the arts.
WE HAPPENED UPON the beautiful home of Danish artist and interior stylist Simone Polk Dahl on Instagram and have fallen completely in love with the easy-going vibes of this space with its neutral palette of black, beige and brown tones ...
