MY SISTER HAS always loved daisies, but I always thought them a bit common, and preferred the romance of roses. But in our first springtime in the English countryside, tiny daisies have sprung up in the grass all along the riverside and they are so cheerful, they are really starting to grow on me ...
EVERY YEAR, AROUND this time, we always like to celebrate springtime with a bright moodboard of the all the beautiful things there are to look forward to: blossoming pink magnolias and bicycle rides, spectacular sunsets by the sea, light spring jackets and bouquets of white tulips―and while things feel like they may never been the same again, we created this moodboard for happier days to come...
Have been observing from afar, the invitées attending the Dior fashion show here in Paris the other day, and noticed a new mini trend that has had a special place in street style a for a few months now, but it's a trend that is here to stay for a while: the cardigan ...
There are snowdrops everywhere now, along garden paths and forest trails, and late winter blossoms on the trees; even though it is still chilly, these things are giving us the hope of spring.
WE HAPPENED UPON a lilac-coloured faux leather halter top with matching trousers, and from that moment on, all we could think about were spring things and pretty, pretty pastels.

FOR THE SECOND YEAR in a row, Giambattista Valli did not stage an haute couture show, opting instead for an exhibition of his spring collection, open to the public. “Sometimes the fashion world is too exclusive and sometimes it’s nice to be inclusive,” the designer told Vogue. An open presentation was held at the National Gallery de Jeux Pom in Paris.
WHEN WE LIVED in Edinburgh, the archway of the gate to our private gardens was covered in lilacs―the most wonderfully fragrant ones that filled the air and the entire street and added the loveliest dash of colour to the cloudy skies.

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...
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.

I think there is no other style that makes a women look more powerful and confident, attractive and stylish than while wearing a full suit. When I spend my days at work in a suit, I never feel more comfortable or confident. In fact, I often get asked by my clients if they can try the look as well and this inspired me to write a few words about this great style option.
IT'S TRENCH COAT season! And while my trusty Burberry is being freshened up at the dry cleaners, here is a little inspiration on how to style the eternally chic trench, somewhat a tradition around here at TIG in the springtime. Whether with white pants and a chignon or over a camel blazer or a silver sequined dress, it's fashion favourite staple and never goes out of style...
THINK THE FIRST time we fell in love with the gathered leather clutch was with Phoebe Philo and Old Céline's Spring 2018 RTW collection shown in Paris in June 2017. Now, a couple of years later, Bottega Veneta has their own version, and the rest of the world (especially on Instagram) seems to have fallen for this chic fashion accessory as well. We're especially enamoured with the ones featuring the Italian fashion house's signature Intrecciato weaving technique. Scroll through for more inspiration and shopping links...
