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.
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.
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.
AS THE CRISP air ushers in a new season, the fashion world undergoes its perennial metamorphosis, breathing life into our wardrobes with fresh inspiration.
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.

This pink and marble bathroom that we found on Pinterest was the catalyst for this summery collage, filled with the things in our shopping cart at this moment, from a pair of handcrafted silk mesh mules in off-white to a delicate scallop shell charm, an engraved compact mirror and more…
FOR SOME reason, we never paid much attention to American actress Dakota Johnson’s style before. Recently, however, we came across images of her on the set of the upcoming Celine Song film, Materialists, (starring Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, and Johnson) and really love the clothes that her character wears in the movie.
"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer." — F. Scott Fitzgerald
While wicker and rattan are often used interchangeably, they refer to different aspects of furniture and basketry. Wicker refers to the weaving technique used to create furniture, baskets, and other items, while rattan is a specific type of material used in wicker weaving.
WE'LL BE the first to admit that this first instalment of our TIG Holiday Gift Guide is more like a personal shopping list of the things we've been coveting (such as the beautiful electric bicycle made in Brooklyn and the Céline Fair Isle jersey) rather than a straight-up gift guide.
