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.
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 ...
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 ...
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.
I am used to feeling worthy only when I am productive, when I work a lot, and for as long I can remember, since I changed my country for the first time, all I knew was work. I love working, have never said no to job calls, and I always measured my self-worth with the amount of work I am getting done. But for a while now things have been different; after living through the first year of a pandemic, there has been a carousel of emotions and states of mind, and the work side of things has definitely not been the same ...
THIS WEEK’S Blogger Style follows the life of Digital Creator Sinead Crowe (@sineadcrowe). Based in Stamford, Lincolnshire, Crowe focuses on fashion, lifestyle and beauty, with photos of creamy coffees and fluffy pancakes, favourite beauty products, and of course, plenty of style inspiration with her cosy and casual style, much of which relies heavily on athleisure ...
THIS WEEK’S Style File features the impossibly chic looks of Maria Kragmann (@mariakragmann). Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Kragmann is the founder of clothing brand M-KAE, filled with neutral basics, athleisure and quilted valley shorts. Why we love her style: not only does Kragmann master the ability of layering, but she switches from dressy in blazers and camel coats to sporty chic and trainers effortlessly.
EMMA HILL, this week's Blogger Style feature, may be the queen of autumn dressing, but since the weather hasn't been exactly cooperating lately, perhaps a little cool weather style inspiration is appropriate, until at least (hopefully) next week, when summer promises to return again. Even still, Hill's expert layering works for any weather...
WHILE IT HAS been sunny lately and all the leaves are still wonderfully green with only a few touches of yellow here and there, and only a few that have fallen along pathways and around the foot of signs at coffee and ice cream shops, it was blustery today. 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 ...
AT THE BEGINNING of 2020, athleisure was (still) the prevailing fashion movement: Nikes with long cream-coloured coats; blazers or camel coats over tracksuits; oversized blazers over hoodies and baseball caps with trenches. We're entering the third year of this pandemic⏤are you still in your sweats or are you ready to dress up again?
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 ...
JUST A FEW photos of the past days and weeks leading up to summer's end and the official arrival of fall. There are deep orange roses that faded to pink and photos on old digital cameras; there are dusky autumn skies and late-night tapas after getting caught in the wild Scottish rain and Eggs Benedict the morning after ...
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...
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.
