AS YOU MOST likely know by now, the chunky knit and silk/satin skirt combination is a classic. We've written about it several times here and every year, around this time, the look becomes relevant once again...
BEFORE P’S brother came to visit last July, he asked for London tips, and one of the places we recommended was Gordon’s Wine Bar on Villiers Street. We hadn’t even been yet, but we heard good things.
In last week’s Sunday Best, we looked at the New York Times article that explored the trend of Americans seeking out the “good life” in Europe, drawn to the continent’s vibrant culture, rich history, and beautiful landscapes. The NYT’s piece highlights affordable property rental and ownership opportunities in countries like Italy, France, and Spain.
AS THE FIRST day of autumn approaches this Friday on September 23, we're resigned to the fact that summer is nearly over. On the bright side, fall clothes are wonderful⏤whether trench coats with wellies; or a chunky knit with white jeans (we are still transitioning after all); tweed blazers and baseball caps; flared blue jeans and boxy coats, here are a few of our favourite ways to dress for these autumn days...
BRIE AND PEARS at a picnic by the seaside at sunset; wicker lamps and wicker bags and sun umbrellas flapping in the breeze; Lisbon kitchens and wide-legged pants; summer sweaters with city shorts and trolleys full of lemons... These are the things of far-flung places but also of summertime, our very favourite time.
THIS BANK HOLIDAY weekend we saw The Batman. We're not normally into superhero films, but this one is with Robert Pattinson, so we made an exception. It was really long⏤nearly three hours! And maybe a little on the slow side? It began very promisingly with the gritty cityscape and a voiceover and Nirvana's Something in the Way drifting through the air but then lost its way ...
JUST FINISHED booking a hotel for another quick trip to Edinburgh in a few weeks. It feels strange to continue with ordinary things when the world feels anything but. It's the same reason why you probably noticed that we've been a little quiet on all of our social media channels lately. On the first day of spring, our little niece turns three, so I had the pleasure of spending some time ordering tiny clothing, books and toys to send as gifts ...
The chances of you not knowing that I have a passion for stripes are almost impossible because out of seven days in a week, two or three of those days, I will style stripes into an outfit ...
Some might think that wicker is a summer thing, but the wicker items in The Shop have continued to be popular long after summer's end. If you're wondering how to take your wicker bag from summer to fall, a pair of blue jeans and a blazer are all it takes...
ONE OF THE THINGS we perfected in Spain (and by “we” I mean P) is the tortilla, a cosy potato omelet, which is what we made this weekend. We also made another one of our favourite dishes, Chickpea & Kale Shakshouka―it was terribly rainy, so comfort food seemed like just the thing.
IT'S TRENCH COAT season! And while my trusty Burberry is being freshened up at the dry cleaners, here is a little inspiration on how to style the eternally chic trench, somewhat a tradition around here at TIG in the springtime. Whether with white pants and a chignon or over a camel blazer or a silver sequined dress, it's fashion favourite staple and never goes out of style...
Call this their couples’ therapy trilogy. From Lemonade to 4:44 to Everything Is Love, Beyoncé and JAY-Z have taken us through their (apparent) conflict, resolution, and reconciliation as lovers. Though their narrative has been carefully curated and packaged for our consumption, the themes are nonetheless universal: Love and marriage are not easy, a bond between lovers will be tested, and the reward for surviving those turbulent moments is a stronger union.
FOR THIS WEEK’S 10 IMAGES, we revisit the work of Paris-based Ukrainian photographer Alina Kolot (@alinakolot), nearly one year later. As enchanting as ever, there are picnics with baguettes and rosé, pink roses and Laudurée, and that certain joie de vivre that Paris is known for . . .
THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA and picnics along the Seine, tea at Carette and sunset sails — this week’s ’s 30 Images of...
Unlike la dernière fois/the last time, when some four thousand photographs were accidentally lost, save for a few that lingered on instagram, from this particular stay in Paris, there are a few beautiful photographs to share.
