This instalment of 10 Things We Lovely Lately includes, as always, a collection of beautiful finds from our travels around the internets, from British photographer Amberly Valentine's shots of model Inka Williams in Rome (above) to crochet for summertime, a Paris apartment, edible chocolate flower pots and more...
These past few weeks, I have been having the same routine in Paris: Lounging along La Seine towards Palais Royal, an Iced Coffee Latte from Kitsuné, sitting in the parc for hours and arriving home when the city is bathed in the golden hour.
Call it cream, fawn, or unbleached silk, Tuscan, buff, camel, khaki, desert sand, French beige or ecru―BEIGE IS BACK and it's fashion's new favourite shade. And despite its reputation, this pared-back hue is anything but boring. Sophisticated, classic, understated, and elegant, it was first spotted on the streets at Paris Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2019 and we can't get enough of this the versatile and timeless colour. Here are a few ways to wear this chic shade...
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.
In this, the first instalment of TIG TV of the year: we journey to Japan’s most remote ramen shop; look at how to name a product; and discover the reason why coffee shops all around the world are beginning to look the same; explore the idea of guaranteed basic income, see how happy Finland really is, and as always, much much more. –P
We may know little about Karl Lagerfeld’s successor, but Virginie Viard definitely knows everything about Chanel and its values. The new creative director hates being in the spotlight she used to say, but she will be for a while now since her new role marks the first time a female designer is taking the helm of the brand since Gabrielle Chanel herself.
THIS WEEKEND we left the city behind with friends for a beautiful beach we’d never been to before. (If you follow on Instagram, you would have seen, in our Stories, the photos and video clips of white sands and grassy dunes and the lull of turquoise crashing waves.) After a leisurely walk along the coast in the bright sun and the bluest Mediterranean skies, we stopped in at the most charming restaurant that serves local cuisine, for a long and lingering lunch of the best seafood paella we’d ever tasted so far.
German style blogger Livia Auder's casual cool style caught our eye on Instagram (@livia_auer). There are camel coats, and leather and lace, plaids and animal prints and many hats (not an easy look to pull off). But most of all, the perfect recipe for looking chic in winter weather and pretty lacy tops and little white dresses to bring you back to spring again...
THIS NEW YEAR ALREADY seems to be flying by. For some, January was a very long month, but for us, it was one of industry and new beginnings, the start of new (good) habits and the keeping of resolutions, all of which we’ve (more or less) continued into this month, but with far less constraints. This weekend was one of those relaxing ones that one needs from time to time to recharge—long languid mornings and late brunches, books and films and wine and rambling conversations. There are big new projects and life plans in the future, but for the weekend, it was nice to stop time for a moment…
THIS WEEKEND was a working one in parts, and parts old films and drinks on terraces where it was warm in the sunshine and chilly in the shade—a lucky situation for February, when terraces are still hospitable even in the wintertime. We moved here for the weather, but ended up staying for people, the food, and the laid-back way of life. The endless sunny days, however, will always be our first love and now that February is already nearly half over, it will be springtime before we know it…
From time to time, I enjoy a wander in a neighborhood far from my own. On a recent winter morning I visited Brooklyn Heights, a charming corner in Brooklyn known for its beautiful architecture and serene charm. This neighborhood isn’t a shopping or dining destination, but it is a feast for the eyes and a place where you can leave with an appreciation of the city.
A beautiful snowfall was supposed to descend upon New York this weekend. I dreamed of walking through Central Park with my camera and a hot cocoa. Instead, we have freezing rain. It was the perfect weekend to stay in, read a good book and search for fashion inspiration.
THIS WEEKEND we rented a scooter (our first time!) and drove to the beach, the wind in our hair on the quiet city streets. Today, it’s a holiday here, the shops are closed and the city is quiet, with many out of town for an extra long weekend. If you had believed in the idea of “Blue Monday”—that is, the idea that the third Monday in January is the most depressing day of the year, good news: the concept is actually pseudoscience, made up by a holiday company in 2005 to sell summer vacation packages. Don’t you feel better now? January is really not that bad, for it is a time of new beginnings…
