There are golden, springlike days peppered intermittently in with the cloudy ones, but we're waiting for a proper London summer, hot and filled with untold meanderings and adventures. I've been having issues with my hair for the past few weeks (oily at the scalp, discoloured, and extremely dry at the ends) and thought that I needed to switch up my shampoos and conditioners, but then dry patches began appearing on my skin.
AUTUMN, that wistful interlude between the sultry veil of summer and the frozen stillness of winter, arrives in a cascade of rustling leaves, each one a reminder of the season's transitory beauty. The air, once laden with the languor of summer, now wears a crisper edge, a hint of the inevitable chill to come. The scent of oud and embers drifting from candles mingles with the earthy fragrance of fallen leaves, weaving a heady potion filled with melancholy.
WE RECENTLY came across some images on Pinterest that felt immediately familiar⏤images that conjured up an iconically stylish couple who met a terribly tragic fate in July of 1999, over 24 years ago now.
In 1902, Thomas Edison’s wax cylinder was finally sturdy enough to be sold in bulk, and Americans started buying recordings of music for the home phonograph.
NOW THAT WE are out of our trainers and tracksuit bottoms and back into actual clothing again, we've switched to living in blue jeans and haven't looked back. In fact, it's such a good alternative, we're looking to add denim shirts and blazers and dresses and skirts to the mix. Denim days may be here again, but that's because they've never really left ...
CAME ACROSS this quote by Dr. Seuss yesterday morning: “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.” And it struck a chord because it feels like lately, that we're always waiting/hoping to move past current situations and times and on to better ones ...
WE HAVE BEEN collecting things we like for the past little while and realised that they all looking lovely together and have a sort of running theme: neutral tones and cosiness, soft light and a kind of wintery feel. There are chunky knits with long cashmere scarves, comfy chairs and coffee table books; slipcovered sofas and quilted handbags, warm wood and winter whites ...
The nostalgia at the heart of ‘Summer Of Now’, the final track from James Blake’s new EP, is something that we all seem to be yearning for of late. The track’s narrator repeatedly references the summer of 2015, in this context a happier, almost rose-tinted time, comparing themselves unfavourably as “the summer of now”.
SINCE THE LOCKDOWN, clothing sales have reportedly dropped by 50%. While we’re not exactly in this statistic as we did order a few basics such as denim and underwear, but for the most part, we can believe that it’s true, for shopping has changed drastically over the past two or so months
Have been observing from afar, the invitées attending the Dior fashion show here in Paris the other day, and noticed a new mini trend that has had a special place in street style a for a few months now, but it's a trend that is here to stay for a while: the cardigan ...
WHILE WE'RE NOT adversed to a tracksuit and blazer combo or trainers with everything, one Mini Trend we're really excited about is the return to MODERN ROMANCE. A return to pretty, more feminine pieces such as ruffled-collared blouses under soft mohair sweaters and very puffy sleeves on strapless dresses and cosy knit sweaters; bows on everything and the return of classic fabrics such as silk and satin and chiffon ...
London multi-disciplinary artist Fauness has shared drifting new song ‘Soon There Will Be No Summer’. The rising force delivered her debut EP ‘Toxic Femininity’ around this time last year, and she’s set to follow this with follow up EP ‘Lashes In A Landfill’.
EVERY YEAR around this time, we round up the essence of summer in a moodboard we like to call The Last of the Summer Whites. It's a bittersweet time, for we know that nothing lasts forever, but even still, we wish that time would slow down just a little, so that summertime could stay just a little while longer...
THIS WEEK'S MINI TREND features the unlikely pairing of gold jewellery and swimwear. It may seem counterintuitive, but really, upon carefully inspection, is actually chic, chic... Here are a few favourite examples for your Style File.
As another year comes to and end, I find myself reflecting on the inspiration gathered in 2018. It has been a year where visuals have mattered as much as words. Most of all, I have been inspired by hearing people’s stories, especially through podcasts.
