THERE ARE five days left of August, and if you're one of those people who do not wear white past the first week of September, then you don't have much time left. End things on a high note with this ultra-chic outfit of high-waisted wide-leg pleated trousers, a sleeveless turtle neck and cosy knit jumper wrapped casually around your shoulders for when the temperature drops. We included our favourite selection of trousers to shop, and while we were unable to find many sleeveless turtlenecks (although this might work), we did find a number of perfect alternatives...
EVEN THOUGH there is only one week of August left, we're not ready to leave summer behind yet, but do feel that some transitional pieces are in order for these cool August nights, and the first piece on our shopping list is the crisp blue shirt. Wear it with white trousers to keep the summery vibe going, or with blue jeans for a monochrome look. Here is our favourite way to style this indispensable wardrobe staple, as well as some shopping links...
THERE IS only one bank holiday weekend left this summer, in the last week of August, so there feels like an urgency to wear all of our favourite summer outfits before it's too late. While the Double Denim trend can transition into autumn, this trend, a white top with cream-coloured pants definitely belongs to the warmer months. Whether tucked or untucked, a t-shirt or a blouse, ankle-length pants or long pleated trousers, here are a few ways we like to style this mini trend...
AS FAR AS TRENDS go, double denim is definitely one of our favourites⏤it's casual and comfortable and yet also très chic. Also referred to as denim-on-denim or a Canadian Tuxedo (which we previously thought referred to Canadians' love of the fabric, but actually has something to do with Bing Crosby and a hotel in Vancouver in 1951) ...
WE KNOW you love our extremely popular hand covered notebooks in Dusky Pink suede. Now, we’re introducing our bestselling Hand Covered Leather Notebook in a brand new colour: Chilli Pepper, a deep, immersive red. The perfect place to keep thoughts & dreams and your heart’s desires.
We have always wanted to add a tote to our line but wanted to ensure that we had a product that was as practical and durable as it was stylish. When Roséline and I began working on our design, we focused on the size and construction.
THEY SAY all good things must come to an end, and that is now true of our bestselling Windsor Bamboo Top Handle Wicker Handbag. Introduced in 2018 while we were living in Spain, and it has been a runaway bestseller ever since. Like many of our other wicker and rattan items, the Windsor is completely handmade by artisans in sunny Spain, about an hour by train outside of the city, past acres of sweet-scented orange groves and a castle ruin nestled high in the side of a mountain ...
WHETHER IT WAS due to the arrival of athleisure about six years ago or the arrival of the pandemic three years ago, we've been dressing up less for a long time now. And even as lockdown restrictions have been lifted and we're hoping to make our way out of this chapter in our lives, some of the habits we've developed over this time have remained, such as the casual way we've been dressing during this time ...
IF FEBRUARY IS a transitional month to spring, then March is its realisation: the daffodils and warm breezes, cherry blossoms and forsythia let us know for certain that springtime is on its way. And while it may still be a little bit too cool to wear a trench coat just yet, we know that trench season is also on its way and we couldn't be happier to leave our giant puffy coats behind ...
IT'S THE FIRST of March after a long winter and the sun is streaming through the windows. The brighter mornings and longer days are calling us outdoors, even as we type away at our keyboards. The sounds of cars driving by, people rushing along to shops and appointments, and it feels like a new beginning ...
WE ASKED for your beauty/makeup inquiries on our Instagram Stories recently and received so many questions! So many that we couldn't possibly get to all the DMs and thought we might answer a few of them here. From perfume recommendations to makeup tips for beginners to the best foundation for dry/sensitive skin, here are the things that you want to know ...
I MUST CONFESS that I have a thing for beautiful packaging, so when Hermès announced the next chapter in their beauty range—a new nail enamel collection—I knew that I wouldn’t be able to resist.
IT IS THAT TIME of year again, the time for wreaths and fairy lights and holiday films and bits of gift wrap and ribbon and shortbread cookies everywhere. We saw an Instagram comment by someone yesterday stating that she might get drunk and put up the tree tonight (it was a Tuesday). Yes, regular hours and workdays fade away during this time of year, which is decidedly more free-flowing and therefore, festive ...
A SCHOOL FRIEND once remarked that I was good at seasons, and when I thought about it, I realised that she was right. I actually really do love to capture the feeling and moods of the changing seasons, the excitement that comes with arrival of the first snowdrops in winter, just as the days start to get longer, the way the sun's rays deepen in colour at sunset. And at the other end of the spectrum, when summer fades into autumn, we realise with the changing leaves and cosy evenings with their flickering firelight, that endings can be beautiful too. We learn, every autumn what it is to let go...
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 ...
