We've had the fortune of visiting the Scottish Highlands many times, and but it has been a while now, since we were living in Spain for the past three and a half years. Happening across Danja's Instagram page (@merlins_mind) made the absolute majesty of this incredible place come rushing back. An outdoor, photography, bicycle and kayak enthusiast (among other things), Danja's photo stream reads like the pages of a fairytale.

IT SEEMS LIKE OVERNIGHT the mornings have begun to get crisper and now, in mid-August, autumn seems to be slowly, nearly imperceptibly, inching its way into the nights.

DANIELA IS GOING TO Provence on holiday in August, a time when it is typically hot in the south of France. She's excited for the trip, but does not do well in the heat and does not wear dresses, and asked for advice on what to wear? The first piece of advice would be to keep to natural, breathable fabrics such as cottons and linens.
