Monochromatic dressing in black or white is a sophisticated and timeless style choice that involves wearing different shades and textures of a single colour from head to toe.
In 2007, three experimental psychologists, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, coined the word ‘sugrophobia’, which would translate to something like a ‘fear of sucking’. The researchers – Kathleen Vohs, Roy Baumeister and Jason Chin – were looking to name the familiar and specific dread that people experience when they get the inkling that they’re ‘being a sucker’ – that someone is taking advantage of them, partly thanks to their own decisions.
WHEN YOU think about holiday decorating, the colour black doesn't normally come to mind. Green and red; and of course, white, are the more obvious choices, for black seems a bit severe and lacking their festive quality at first glance. However, when paired with some gold or greenery ...
THE LEAVES are turning and it's all back to work and school. Autumn is on the way in the Northern Hemisphere and there is no going back. We're slowly letting go of our linen dresses, bare shoulders and summer whites and adding our favourite autumn things back in everyday dressing.

IT HAS BEEN amazingly blustery for the past two days and nights, the beginning of two separate storms set to hit England this weekend, we're told, so the desire to stay in and avoid being blown away has been strong this week. To encapsulate the vibe that is this time of year, we've created a moodboard for cosy February days ...
THIS WEEK'S décor inspiration is the Paris apartment of Diego Delgado-Elias, a Peruvian architect who lives in Paris. After ten years working on major hospitality and private projects at large international agencies, Delgado-Elias founded his own agency in Paris in 2014 ...
TO SAY THAT it has been a strange week is an understatement (more on that later). It has been a week spent nearly entirely indoors and we're going a bit crazy. Christmas is now only five days away and the end of the year, a mere 11. It's strange how a year where not much happened flew by so quickly. It's a pensive, melancholic time, for many reasons, (one being that I hate endings), but especially since it feels like there hasn't been a proper holiday season in a very long time ...
IF YOU ARE A REGULAR here at TIG, you will know how much we love our summer whites. This summer, however, the trend has shifted toward summer black, if that were ever a thing. From strapless sundresses to sexy cut-outs; linen two pieces and midi dresses, pleated playsuits and more, here are a few of our favourite pieces in shades of black, along with a little style inspiration on how to wear them ...
James Blake gifted fans with a pre-Christmas present Sunday as the British singer released the studio take of his unadorned rendition of Don McLean’s “Vincent.”After frequently performing the American Pie song about Vincent Van Gogh in concert over the past year, Blake entered Los Angeles’ Conway Studios earlier this month to lay down the track.
One of the most fiendishly difficult things to get right in interior design is an artful mix of pattern, colour,...
