SO WE FINALLY ordered a projector, which arrived just in time for the weekend. We spent the entire weekend watching films projected huge on a blank wall, some of them flipped backwards before we could figure out the settings to flip them the right way around. We ate fattening foods and slept in and I finished another book ...

THIS WEEKEND WE did not go to our favourite pub across the river for Sunday roast as we do every week, for we’ve begun social distancing, spending most of our time staying at home, with the exception of a countryside walk on Sunday, which happened to be sunny and beautiful.
EVER SINCE Athleisure arrived on the scene about six years ago, we didn't exactly welcome this emerging trend with open arms. That is because at the time, it seemed to be all yoga pants at first, and then ugly trainers with everything ...
WHILE WE'RE NOT adversed to a tracksuit and blazer combo or trainers with everything, one Mini Trend we're really excited about is the return to MODERN ROMANCE. A return to pretty, more feminine pieces such as ruffled-collared blouses under soft mohair sweaters and very puffy sleeves on strapless dresses and cosy knit sweaters; bows on everything and the return of classic fabrics such as silk and satin and chiffon ...
IN DECEMBER we wrote about the Fluffy White Coat Mini Trend, and now we're bringing you a parallel trend this winter season: the Teddy Bear Coat. Oversized and cosy, it's not only a favourite of fashionistas and influencers everywhere, but also of celebrities like Katie Holmes and models Elsa Hosk and Rosie Huntington Whiteley ...
WINTER IS NOT OUR favourite time of year. Sure we love Christmas and in February we're into Valentine's Day, but we do not love the cold at all. And on this Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, we're optimistically looking at ways to make the best of this season by keeping cosy in Down Puffer Trench Coats, V-neck jumpers and Merino wool pullovers, hoodies, faux shearling and wool blend trousers...
Daniela and I often talk about Mini Trends, the most recent being tracksuits with blazers, and she noticed at the same time I did that everyone seemed to be wearing big, fluffy white coats lately. Whether faux fur or shearling, they look so warm and cosy and perfect for a winter's day. Here is a round-up of a few of our favourite long white winter coats and ways to style them...
I’ve been following Petra Mack on Instagram (@pepamack) for a long time now, mostly because her outfits are easy to recreate and because she chooses such timeless pieces, many of which I already have, that I don’t have to change out my entire closet for everything in the world.
THIS MORNING, THE entire countryside was covered in a layer of frost—the rooftops, with their wisps of white chimney smoke, the well-manicured hedges in front gardens and each red and fallen leaf on the sidewalks. And on the hills in the distance, a softly rising mist...
THE TEMPERATURE has dropped drastically from yesterday, and it's all lambswool and huge puffy coats at the moment. But before that, when autumn was just slowly fading in from summertime, I began collecting images, an inspiration board of sorts, of all the beautiful ways I would employ the art of autumn layering...
CAME ACROSS an old (2018) article about how Instagram has killed the art of lifestyle blogging and was surprised to read that Instagrammers are now referring to themselves as bloggers. Bloggers, of course, in the original sense of the word, were those of us with actual blogs (web + log) or websites and also happened to have an Instagram account alongside.
EARLY OCTOBER and no one seems to be able to let go of whites just yet, pairing creamy silk slip skirts with cosy ecru turtlenecks or balloon sleeve maxi dresses with tall leather boots. Whether boiler suits or blazers, pleated dresses or cropped denim, autumn comes in shades of white...
My everyday style has changed throughout the past three years, and one of the things I learned from my job is that minimal pieces are the most important buys.
EVERY YEAR, when summer fades into fall, there is an ushering in of new trends, new patterns, fabrics and styles―knits and leopard print (which, are incidentally, "in" so often, they're considered a classic), smart suits and moody florals, athleisure (still) and denim.
DO YOU REMEMBER that feeling where you've been working toward something for so long, that once you've finally accomplished it, instead of feeling excited and celebratory, you're in a bit of a haze and utterly exhausted? Well that was how things were this past weekend, but (happily) not for long, for after there was time for what actually happened to sink in a little, we began feeling a little more relaxed than we have in ages and did end up having a really wonderful weekend. We're making plans again, and they are now not for work only, but for upcoming trips, and even for the holidays...
