WHILE SEARCHING for a festive wreath for our front door, ended up coming across many wonderful florists on Instagram who we've begun following. The first sculptural garland we discovered was London-based florist Kitten Grayson's holiday installation...
RECENTLY ORDERED A new chunky cable knit sweater and it's the warmest, cosiest thing. In fact, if it were not for cosy jumpers and crackling cottage fires, autumn would be nearly unbearable with its damp, cloudy days, bare branches after all the leaves have fallen, and inevitable end in winter ...
I’ve been obsessing over marble tables for a while now. While apartment hunting, I fantasize about how I will decorate my new space and have been dreaming about either a dining table, side table, or coffee table in marble, or all of them ...
THINGS HAVE BEEN a bit stressful lately―our site is full of holes at the moment where images should be (long story); I am currently locked out of the TIG facebook account (Does anyone have a fix for this?); and the pandemic is taking hold again...
HAPPENED UPON THIS wonderfully elegant home in Lattingtown, New York by Ferguson & Shamamian Architects while searching for fitness studio décor for an upcoming project. I, of course, immediately fell for its decidedly elegant vibe of chintz and chandeliers and Venetian glass mirrors, balloon curtains and sweeping staircase, wall sconces and walk-in dressing rooms.
Despite actually living it for the past year and a bit, only came across the term cottagecore recently. Cottagecore (also known as farmcore, countrycore, naturecore, honeycore or warmcore) is the internet aesthetic taking over our screens lately with its ultra-romanticised interpretation of rural and countryside life ...
I still remember the first time I saw a photo of Loulou de la Falaise. It was at the Musée Galliera, and I was immediately drawn to her clothes, the styling, l’allure. I knew instantly that she was not just another model. She was the epitome of chic, elegance, grace and style ...
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN quite as much as it used to, but every once in a while we happen upon a brand new and utterly charming Instagram account to follow that we've never seen before.
THERE ARE AT LEAST three more weeks of lockdown here in the UK, so to make the best of it, here are a few cosy images of being at home―homebody inspiration for the introverts and extroverts alike.
BECAUSE IT'S Thursday and these links are late (although who is really keeping track of time at the moment?), we'll begin these notes with a quote by Dale Carnegie: “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
WEEK TWO of social distancing and things feel far from normal, and whenever we're feeling a little stressed, it always helps to dream a little, and what better place to begin than the Parisian real estate listings on Instagram?
SO LONG AS WE'RE all online and social distancing, we thought it might be interesting to get a glimpse of the homes of those of us who work online, the difference spaces that your favourite influencers are self-isolating in. First up is the New York home of Shea Marie (@sheamarie), blogger, stylist, and social media influencer known for her Peace Love Shea fashion and lifestyle blog ...
WHILE SEARCHING for charming British pubs on Instagram for a new project we're working on, happened upon new photos of Beaverbrook, the luxury country house hotel and spa we featured here in 2018. This quintessentially English estate overlooking the Surrey Hills ...
DO YOU REMEMBER when we used to search flickr for photos (they've been sold to Verizon and are horrible now) and tumblr for photos? And then after that it was Pinterest?
There are cosy fireplaces and crystal chandeliers and weathered cane settees, checkered dining chairs and so much charm that it makes one want to drop everything and move to Normandy ...
