YES, WE KNOW, it's only been officially autumn for a month, but with the nights drawing in so quickly now, the bright yellow leaves falling off the trees, the wet gloomy skies, and British Summer Time ending at the end of the month, we're already dreaming of sunnier times and warmer days. If the dark days of autumn and the dreary days of winter must be tolerated, then we'll do it with cosy evenings fireside, and also through plenty of daydreaming. These images, that came floating through our feed this week, of places around Mallorca are a perfect place to start ...
THE COLD HAS suddenly returned and it's not easy going back to brisk temperatures after having so many bright and warm spring days. The daffodils are fading and it's still technically the long weekend, but we've decided to spend some time back at work after a rather eventful few day of too much of everything.
The Elle magazine article was a shocker. It went live a few days before Christmas and told a story of a journalist who lost her husband and her job because she fell in love with her source, who happened to be one of the most hated men on the planet, “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli.

Where is this place? they asked. Where on earth indeed. After a little searching, discovered this magical place to be a Michelin starred restaurant in Italy, located at the hotel Il San Pietro di Positano, Positano, Amalfi Coast, Italy to be exact.
IT’S MID-JULY AND SUMMER IS UPON US, setting even the busiest of cities — London, New York — in a languorous haze where days seem to move at a slower pace. Dinners are spent alfresco, preferably somewhere by the water, and weekend getaways to laze in the sun become routine. But deciding what to wear when it’s a blazing 28º outside and the preferable choice is nothing, can be difficult, for combining style with comfort is paramount…
IT IS THE HEIGHT OF SUMMER here, and all the days are draped in a wonderfully sultry heat. A time for roaming the winding city streets in billowy lilac-coloured chiffon dresses and espadrilles, drinking cava on leafy terraces and picnicking on strawberries and raspberries on the beach in front of the glittery Mediterranean.
