It’s funny how it happens every year at exactly the same time: the moment the autumnal equinox occurs, instantly the temperatures drop and the rain takes over the city. There's a slow pace in Paris now, the parks are empty and peaceful, the golden light is fleeting.
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 ...
Over the course of the past year, our social media streams began to change. The endless photos of trips to far-flung places like Japan and Australia, and influencer favourites like Bali and Santorini slowly gave way to quarantine home scenes. Quiet lockdown moments of living room cocktails and freshly baked loaves of Dutch oven bread, solitary sofa scenes of open laptops and Netflix streams ...
WE RECENTLY came across some images on Pinterest that felt immediately familiar⏤images that conjured up an iconically stylish couple who met a terribly tragic fate in July of 1999, over 24 years ago now.
The Weeknd has unveiled a new remix of his After Hours track, “In Your Eyes,” which features Doja Cat. The singer, aka Abel Tesfaye, released the cut at midnight on Wednesday.

The kind of blustery wind that has a coolness attached to it, the kind that is meant to shake leaves from trees and carry them away ...
DESCRIBED as a rising star, French photographer Robin Galiegue is fairly new to the fashion scene, despite having worked behind the scenes for many years. The photographer took his first picture when he was just 14 years old...
Tolstoy was a moralist. He wrote one novel—Anna Karenina—in which infidelity ends in death, and another—War and Peace—in which his characters endure a thousand pages of political, military and romantic turmoil so as to eventually earn the reward of domestic marital bliss. In the epilogue to War and Peace we encounter his protagonist Natasha, unrecognizably transformed.
SINCE THE LOCKDOWN, clothing sales have reportedly dropped by 50%. While we’re not exactly in this statistic as we did order a few basics such as denim and underwear, but for the most part, we can believe that it’s true, for shopping has changed drastically over the past two or so months
These two weeks at work, I’ve been paying attention to what people are shopping for, for Christmas, and there is a certain common that is running through everyone's purchases: cosiness ...
What makes Paris so amazing lately is definitely its style. I have been observing Parisians for a while now and what I realize is that there is a fine line between between formal and décontracté, as they call it, and they blend it quite effortlessly when achieving this great style so typical theirs.
