THIS WEEKEND BEGAN a little early, with oysters and cava on Thursday afternoon in celebration of recent accomplishments and of summertime. There would also be lunch at a new Greek restaurant in the old town, cocktails at a place favoured by the locals (a very smart crowd it was) that’s always lively and hasn’t changed its quirky décor since 1957 ...
Anne-Laure Mais is like your fun, effortlessly chic French best friend. The fashion editor, based between Paris and London, has been running her fashion blog, Adenorah, since 2009. Born in Biarritz in the south of France (or the 'French California' as she puts it), Mais is not Parisian, so her look is far more casual. We adore her decidedly seventies vibe both in her Parisian apartment and her style, which includes high-waisted flares and brown velvet blazers, vintage denim and easy knits, and a beret from time to time for good measure ...
THIS WAS A WEEKEND of highs and lows, the highs being cava and oysters on a Monday night and the lows being all of the things coming through the news lately: Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, the Independence Referendum, Tom Petty... we're still working through all of the sad news and finding ways to help, while still trying to remember the beauty in life as well.

Four days until it's officially autumn, and nothing heralds in the season better than trench coats and cosy tweeds, bouclé and of course, our favourite, tartans and plaids. Here, we've compiled a few of our favourite ways to wear the (classic) trend, from mini skirts in Soho to pants paired with knits and blazers at the airport ...
If you loved the Saint Laurent Fall 2017 RTW collection, you will adore this one, for the Isabel Marant Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear collection has the same rock n' roll vibe, but with a little more feminine refinement typical of the designer. There were ’90s supermodels Amber Valletta and Carolyn Murphy, and '80's statement pieces (think oversized earrings, metallic finishes and rhinestones), and pretty ensembles consisting of ruffly silver tops paired with crystal-encrusted denim. There were big-shouldered blazers cinched with wide leather belts and paired with glittery shoes, ruffly mini skirts with super-tall over-the-knee boots and an altogether perfect wearability in a collection tinged with a little sexiness for good measure.
