EVERY YEAR, when summer fades into fall, there is an ushering in of new trends, new patterns, fabrics and styles―knits and leopard print (which, are incidentally, "in" so often, they're considered a classic), smart suits and moody florals, athleisure (still) and denim.
We've had the very good fortune of visiting the Scottish Highlands many times, but every time we find ourselves there, it is always equally breathtaking. For this reason, we've become completely captivated by Mango's Fall-Winter 2019 campaign, shot on location in the highlands...
On the 1st of September I felt like someone pushed a button causing the weather to suddenly take a different turn: the mornings are brisk, the afternoons are hot, and by the time I leave work it’s chilly again. The mood on the streets of Paris is more beautiful than I have ever have seen before.
WHILE WE WERE INITIALLY apprehensive about the athleisure trend that has taken over fashion in the past few years, we've always loved creative ways of pairing comfy sweatshirts with more dressier counterparts ...
In the fashion Editorial HAILEY B., Hailey Bieber channels Princess Diana's sporty chic style--oversized sweatshirts with cycling shorts, socks and trainers, sweatshirts with blazers, bluejeans and cowboy boots, sometimes a baseball cap, but always with devastating style...
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.
One September song on my playlist and my mind wandered immediately to autumn days and the beautiful transition between the two seasons. I hope I am not too early in my autumn selection, and ideally there will be warm weather for a little longer still before we are able to enjoy this selection... These are key statement pieces that can easily build your wardrobe, and are perfect for pairing with basics.
One of our very favourite things to do is find beautiful new handmade things for The Shop, and last month, our craftspeople in Spain surprised us with this new hand-woven basket bag that we adore.
DANIELA & I NOTICED lately, a flood of long seashell dresses, tops and mermaid swimsuits floating by our Instagram feeds―a welcome sight, of course, because who doesn't have mermaid dreams from time to time? The long slinky satin sheath dresses with their spaghetti straps are most likely by Bevza, the Ukrainian fashion label launched in 2007. All of the dresses appear to be sold out, although the Seashell Top is still available (for now). We've found a few other similar styles, including a fun fanned out bikini top―scroll through our inspiration board below for some serious seaside vibes...
WITH THE RECENT HEAT WAVE in many parts of Europe, it was hard to know what to wear to look chic and keep cool. Enter ANNE-MIEK KESSELS of Mode d'Amour.

Like many enviable Parisiennes, the self-described "Creative Mind Mum of two" has that certain je ne sais quoi that comes through in everything.

These past few weeks, I have been having the same routine in Paris: Lounging along La Seine towards Palais Royal, an Iced Coffee Latte from Kitsuné, sitting in the parc for hours and arriving home when the city is bathed in the golden hour.
DANIELA IS GOING TO Provence on holiday in August, a time when it is typically hot in the south of France. She's excited for the trip, but does not do well in the heat and does not wear dresses, and asked for advice on what to wear? The first piece of advice would be to keep to natural, breathable fabrics such as cottons and linens. Loose-fitting linen pants with white cotton or linen blouses (this scallop collar linen shirt is perfect) and singlets look chic while still keeping things cool. Here is some style inspiration that includes pleated trousers and ruffly blouses, city shorts and more...
Call it cream, fawn, or unbleached silk, Tuscan, buff, camel, khaki, desert sand, French beige or ecru―BEIGE IS BACK and it's fashion's new favourite shade. And despite its reputation, this pared-back hue is anything but boring. Sophisticated, classic, understated, and elegant, it was first spotted on the streets at Paris Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2019 and we can't get enough of this the versatile and timeless colour. Here are a few ways to wear this chic shade...
