IT IS MIDSUMMER and our very favourite time of year. We love the long, hot sunny days, and all the wonderful things that this time of year brings: picnics in the park and Thames-side bicycle rides, drinks on outdoor terraces and high ponytails and bronzed skin.
IT FEELS like 2021, which is the last time we wrote about blue shirts being a trend, as well as tennis skirts, which are also trending at the moment, as they did then. Perhaps they never really went away.
THIS INSTALMENT of Style File features model Sara Ramén, who was born in Australia to a Swedish father and a French mother. She credits her heritage for her affinity with these cultures, despite growing up in Perth. Ramén began travelling on her own around the world as a model in her late-teens with Marilyn Agency and Storm Models, living many different places, including Paris, London and Sydney.
IT HAS BEEN quite a while since we covered the Met Gala⏤its over-the-top theatrical displays are not often our thing. But, Anne Hathaway (above) looked stunning in Versace, enough to make us take a look at what others were wearing that night. This year’s dress code was “in honour of Karl.”
WE FIRST INTRODUCED you to German style blogger Livia Auer three years ago, in 2019. While Auer still loves berets and trench coats, her style has evolved and become a little more sophisticated, with long knit dresses and striped jumpers added to the mix. There are tweed blazers and trousers and waistcoats and bouclé jackets and blue button-down shirts, oversized sunglasses, denim jumpsuits and a bit of a 70s vibe...
ONE OF OUR favourite Mini Trends of the moment is the very chic pairing of a pair of flared blue jeans with a silk scarf tied in the hair, which is set in a pretty half ponytail. It's pretty and romantic and perfect for these October days when paired with a soft cardigan, cableknit jumper or even a puff-sleeved blouse or white t-shirt if it's a warm day. Here are a few of our favourite ways to style the look, as well as few shopping links ...
Read recently that hot rollers were making a comeback, but for me, they never went away. I've been using them for ages, ever since I realised that using the fancy large-barrel curling iron (we call them tongs here) was far too much work and took too long. The only trouble is, now that I have a whole head of icy caramel highlights, I've been looking for heatless methods to curl my hair or at least add body without the heat damage. Here are a few other methods I've been experimenting with at home...
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. Here, we've rounded up a few items to add to your shopping list: a cosy cashmere turtleneck, a pair of straight suit trousers, and a great handmade belted wool coat...
WHEN WE FIRST launched Belgrave Crescent in 2014, we created so many editorial stories for our new products that sometimes entire shoots would lie waiting on memory cards to be reviewed and processed. Sometimes some of these images would never see the light of day. Here, on a chilly beach in Scotland at sunset, in a satin playsuit and wellingtons ...
AS FAR AS TRENDS go, double denim is definitely one of our favourites⏤it's casual and comfortable and yet also très chic. Also referred to as denim-on-denim or a Canadian Tuxedo (which we previously thought referred to Canadians' love of the fabric, but actually has something to do with Bing Crosby and a hotel in Vancouver in 1951) ...
STOCKHOLM-born Felicia Akerstrom's impeccable style has been featured here at TIG many times before. The blogger, digital influencer and content creator describes her social channels as a visual diary of her style and travels. We love her minimalistic style and her effortless high-low mix of investment pieces and affordable finds. From long skirts and light-knit sweaters to white pantsuits and black halter dresses, here are a few of our favourite looks...
ABOUT A MONTH ago, I wrote about my many misadventures at the hair salon. That article resonated with many of you, so I thought that I'd share with you the funny habit I have of documenting the exact way my hair looks following these salon appointments.
AFTER WEEKS of dismal weather, it has finally become summery and we've been spending all our days in the sun. Since we've been wearing jackets and trench coats during this time, now it's time to change up our wardrobes once again and switch to cooler things. From fancy little white dresses with mary janes to oversize white shirts over bicycle shorts and kitten heels, here are a few images we've put together to inspire your summer style...
We have always wanted to add a tote to our line but wanted to ensure that we had a product that was as practical and durable as it was stylish. When Roséline and I began working on our design, we focused on the size and construction.
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 ...
