We do that often and sometimes come across amazing properties that we always share with you.

A collection of your top favourite articles of the past year here at This Is Glamorous, from Cy Twombly's stunning home in Rome to rarely seen photos of Princess Diana; Rosehill Cottage, the film set that was created for the Christmas movie, The Holiday; mother-daughter Instagram fashion influencers Susi Rejano & Carla Hinojosa, and more ...
THIS WEEK'S Two Lovely Things features the front door curtain, something we've been coming across quite a bit recently, especially in English countryside décor. There are many reasons why one might hang an entrance curtain over their front door: as a beautiful way to frame the doorway, but also as a chic solution for reducing heat loss at home, as a heavy fabric curtain can help prevent cold air from passing through a draughty entranceway.
AS THE FIRST day of autumn approaches this Friday on September 23, we're resigned to the fact that summer is nearly over. On the bright side, fall clothes are wonderful⏤whether trench coats with wellies; or a chunky knit with white jeans (we are still transitioning after all); tweed blazers and baseball caps; flared blue jeans and boxy coats, here are a few of our favourite ways to dress for these autumn days...
PERHAPS IT IS the shortening days that fade even before 7:30 now, or the evening chill that flutters leaves and creeps in before suppertime. Whatever the reason, we find ourselves drawn to deeper, darker hues lately, and especially to a variation of pinkish brown (or brownish pink, if you like) that we seem to be seeing everywhere lately ...
RECENTLY we featured front door curtains, an entrance curtain hung over a front door, both for practicality and aesthetics. This feature is also sometimes call a portière, although many use this term more frequently to refer to a hanging curtain placed over the doorless entrance to a room, its name derived from the French word for door: porte

NEVER REALISED the need for outdoor curtains until coming across it again and again, mostly in archways and doorways, sometimes from the windows of juliet balconies on old apartment buildings and saw how utterly charming it is ...
BITS AND PIECES of this quintessential English countryside cottage have been featured here before (without us realising that they were all from the same place) because Charlotte's Folly, as this Shropshire cottage is known, ticks all the boxes of the things we love lately: Stripes and Garden Rooms; Blue and Pinkish Brown; and of course, using Curtains Instead of Cupboards ...
LOUISE WAS normally the one who always wrote about stripes here at TIG (see here, here & here) as she loved them so, especially in a nautical, décor and everyday capacity. We always loved them in a holiday capacity of sorts⏤beach umbrellas in Italy, yellow and white towels at a hotel in California, wallpaper in a home in the English countryside. Now we're seeing them in an entirely new light, as tablecloths and shower tiles, oversized linen shirts, cushions and chaise lounges...
WE FIRST INTRODUCED you to German style blogger Livia Auer three years ago, in 2019. While Auer still loves berets and trench coats, her style has evolved and become a little more sophisticated, with long knit dresses and striped jumpers added to the mix. There are tweed blazers and trousers and waistcoats and bouclé jackets and blue button-down shirts, oversized sunglasses, denim jumpsuits and a bit of a 70s vibe...
LA POSTA VECCHIA is a five-star luxury boutique hotel located in the coastal town of Ladispoli, about forty minutes outside of Rome on the historic Via Aurelia, a Roman road that was constructed in approximately 241 BC. House in a 17th-century villa and surrounded by 15 acres of Italianate gardens, the hotel overlooks the Tyrrenean sea and shares a coastline with villas and castles, small towns and beach clubs ...

I am not a huge fan of aphorisms, but every once in a while I come across something that makes PERFECT SENSE and lately, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these words: Your energy is your currency. Spend it wisely. Invest it well. For the past week, I have been thinking a lot about where my energy is going and how I can spend it better and came to the realisation that still too much of my time and energy is spent on social media.
THE LEAVES are turning and it's all back to work and school. Autumn is on the way in the Northern Hemisphere and there is no going back. We're slowly letting go of our linen dresses, bare shoulders and summer whites and adding our favourite autumn things back in everyday dressing. Here, we've rounded up a few items to add to your shopping list: a cosy cashmere turtleneck, a pair of straight suit trousers, and a great handmade belted wool coat...
