T MAGAZINE FEATURED Jenna Lyons‘ new Soho loft yesterday, sending décor enthusiasts’ hearts aflutter. No longer with J.Crew after 27 years (ten of those years as creative director and eight as president), Lyons has been taking some time off in her newly redesigned apartment, a 3,500-square-foot loft on the fourth floor of a 19th-century cast-iron building in SoHo
THIS WEEKEND WE screened the 1983 film Risky Business on the projector. P has seen it many times before, but it was my first time, much to his horror⏤a classic in his opinion. On Monday we awoke to the chaotic madness of the Oscars slap and is it just us, or is the world getting weirder?
. . . few things are more romantic than the ocean — the lull of crashing waves, the promise of...
FOR SOME strange reason, springtime always makes me feel like completely renovating the powder rooms. What seems to be fine in the winter, suddenly feels oppressive and in dire need of a makeover when the days get longer and the sun fills everything with its warm golden light. Can't wait until it's warm enough to throw open all the windows again and let the fresh air in, fluttering the gauzy curtains in the bathrooms here at the cottage.
ONE OF THE VERY FAVOURITE childhood homes I grew up in had a powder room that was known as “the blue bathroom”, for its pale blue decor palette. But what I remember most about that room, was that it had double sinks that were each shaped like seashells.
When there’s a moment to spend sorting through the abyss that is the closet, often find myself wandering away to...
My the spring of 2020, the high stakes involved in rigorous, timely and honest statistics had suddenly become all too clear. A new coronavirus was sweeping the world. Politicians had to make their most consequential decisions in decades, and fast.
This instalment of Things We Lovely Lately includes, as always, a collection of beautiful finds from our travels around the internets, including this stunningly serene upstairs bedroom, above, in the home of Rose Uniacke; the most artfully created paper flowers by two British paper flower artists; this season's favourite ad campaigns featuring Emily Ratajkowski for Miu and Miu and Ryan Gosling for Gucci and more⏤here's what has been inspiring us lately ...
EVERY YEAR around this time, when the holidays are over (the memories of fairy lights and sequins fading) we're back at work and it's a brand new year, we become hopelessly drawn to winter white.
. . . soft mohair throws and paper flower hearts, elegant monograms and pretty lacy envelopes, sheer silk blouses and...
Positively swamped with work this week, so I’ll keep this short and leave you with some images of very lovely...
WHEN IT COMES TO décor, I would describe myself as a Romantic Traditionalist, perhaps even an Haute Bohemian, and a definite Maximalist. Anything modern or industrial rarely strikes my fancy, and that's why it's rather strange that I am so drawn to industrial inspired powder rooms lately. The look involves large exposed pipes and stands beneath sinks, (something I've never been fond of, as vanities provide so much more storage), and yet, when the exposed plumbing is made of golden brass, there is a sudden romance to it. The look only works, of course, when paired with the very traditional (and rather glamorous) elements of marble (preferably heavily veined) and more golden accents, such as mirrors and light fixtures, as well as brass faucets and taps. White is the preferred backdrop, in either paint or tile, although some have been known to use wallpaper or even more marble to great effect. Scroll through for a glimpse ...
On Wednesday, for the first time in over seven months, sneakerheads put aside their love-hate relationship with Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, and resumed a love-hate relationship with his Yeezy sneaker brand—which is to say, loving to buy them and hating to miss out.
RECENTLY we featured a few Beautiful Powder Rooms for Springtime, which included stripes and tiles, and of course, dramatic marble. For this week's Tuesday Two, we're highlighting two especially chic bathrooms with a focus on marble.
