OFFICIALLY SUMMERTIME and from ruffled mules in summer's favourite colour to natural rattan cane serving trays for drinks en plein air; linen wrap mini dresses and drop earrings made of the most romantic South Sea pearls; broderie anglaise and layers of tulle in a pleated day skirt, here are a few things on our shopping list lately...

Nick Nemechek's Copenhagen apartment is not the kind the we normally gravitate to here at TIG, for it errs a little on the masculine side, but we love to push the boundaries of our aesthetics to keep things new and fresh. Besides, this Scandinavian home still has all of the features we've always adored, such as boiserie, soaring ceiling heights and wood flooring, and Nemechek's addition of plush velvets, books and art make it undeniably chic. Scroll through for a glimpse...
WE HAVE BEEN highlighting the latest spring trends, from silk scarves to trouser suits, to the eternally chic trench coat, but one of the most unexpected ones for us, is the white city short. Far from common, these pleated and belted styles have an elegance not often associated with shorts and when paired with a white top, are the epitome of chic...
PARIS - We've featured our share of Paris apartments here at TIG, as well beautiful interiors found on Instgram. This Haussmannian fits into both categories. L’Appartement La Fayette, as it is known, is Canadian Jackie Kai Ellis' latest project, a space she bought in the winter of 2017.
SPRING'S CHICEST look by far is the trouser or pant suit, and our favourite iteration of the trend is in always-elegant all white. Whether in linen or satin, white strappy sandals or chunky trainers, it's a look that is crisp yet relaxed and can go from office to weekend effortlessly.
Morgan had just moved to Paris from Los Angeles three months before meeting Parisian Hadrien in a bar. The two have been inseparable since that night and were engaged in Barcaggio, Corsica on July 2017, and married a year later at the Cathedral of Uzès in the south of France...
The Verride Palacio Santa Catarina describes itself as a renovated historic townhouse in the heart of Lisbon―an understatement, perhaps, for the 18th-century palacio turned boutique hotel. Originally the home of a Portuguese count, the building was once a bank and even a venue for a pop-up art festival. The 1750 four-storey, 19 room hotel is located in Lisbon’s Chiado quarter and features stunning views over the Tagus River and Atlantic Ocean.
OUR LONGSTANDING LOVE affair with the little white dress always goes into overdrive at this time of year. When long summer days are so near, one can't help but dream about this magical season, our favourite. We're looking forward to countryside picnics and morning walks along the shore, early evening dinners on the terrace by fairy lights and the sound of chirping crickets, all of course, in a favourite little white dress...
DANIELA wrote about Virginie Viard's appointment at Chanel in early March (The Woman Behind Chanel: Virginie Viard) and since then, we've been waiting to see the new creative director's debut. That moment has finally arrived, in Paris at the Grand Palais, which was turned into a train station.
SOMETIMES THE best place to find inspiring interiors is in the portfolios of photographers. Such is the case with Carley Page Summers, an interior photographer and stylist, passionate about photography from a young age.
IT'S THE SPRING BANK HOLIDAY here in Britain this coming weekend and the Memorial Day holiday in the US, and so we rounded up a few favourite things to shop for in anticipation of summertime: face oil and lip balm and the perfect little white dress and wicker bag; a gold sculpting bar that everyone seems to swear by at the moment, hoop earrings, a lace bralette, raffia mules and more...
WE FEATURED THE Grand Hotel Villa Feltrinelli in the summer of 2015, but the hotel has since redesigned their website and new photos have emerged. Situated on the picturesque Lake Garda in Italy, the neo-Gothic villa was built in 1892 as a summer home for the famous Italian publisher Feltrinelli family. Today, it is a luxury hotel with 20 suites. Read more about this romantic get-away here, and scroll through for a glimpse into its beautiful old-world rooms and corridors...
LONDON - It was the warm pink walls that drew us to this 1880s west London flat decorated by designer Virginia Howard. The designer was given free rein to change spaces around and do the architectural detailing, so the layout was completely transformed, most notably from three bedrooms to two and an enormous amount of storage added.
SENLIS - Entrepreneur (& famous ex-husband of Tory), Chris Burch, had always dreamed of owning an apartment in Paris, even narrowing down his dream to the exact building on rue de Seine. However, no such apartment was ever available.
