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 ...
PRAGUE-BASED style influencer Medina @madi_yusi's style is decidedly modern and eclectic―one day it's a belted pantsuit with tall leather boots and another it's cowboy boots and city shorts. There are bootcut jeans, and blazers and ball caps; plenty of pleated wide-legged pants and leather mules―with everything all put together in an effortless and always comfortable style ...
IT BEGAN WITH the image above, a Parisienne dressed in a belted trench with white ankle socks and loafers, things grew from there and before we knew it, we had another folder filled with autumn/winter style inspiration, from cosy shearling and pile to belted puffer coats, baseball caps with blazers and trench coats and extra long woollen scarves, jumpers worn as scarves, clogs and capes, ultra-light cashmere sweaters and more ...
Albanian-born Ilirida Krasniqi is a dentist by day, and a style influencer when work is over. Based in Copenhagen, she has already caught the eye of Vogue Paris one to follow for her ability to capture the energy of the moment. We love her decidedly lady-like style: high-waisted trousers with crisp white shirts, belted trenches and tweed blazers, mules and kitten heels and strappy sandals...
CONTINUING WITH our series that we began last week about the things we like lately and this week, we're looking at the Isabel Marant Spring 2022 Ready-to-Wear runway show; a new hotel opening in Paris this month; Virginie Viard's Chanel Spring 2022 presentation; a bright and spacious Haussmanian apartment by Festen; beautiful minimalist knits, and the elegant work of Studio Ko. Of course, the Caucasus mountains in Russia (above) in full bloom by Daniel Kordan is on the list as well ...
We first wrote about Christo and Jeanne-Claude in January, when Sotheby's announced the sale of some of the artists' work. Bulgarian Christo Vladimirov Javacheff and Morrocan Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon met in Paris in 1958. In 1961, three years after they met in Paris, Christo and Jeanne-Claude began imagining and creating temporary works of art in public spaces. They would marry in 1962 and become one of the world's most famous artistic collaborations ...
WHILE IT HAS been sunny lately and all the leaves are still wonderfully green with only a few touches of yellow here and there, and only a few that have fallen along pathways and around the foot of signs at coffee and ice cream shops, it was blustery today. The kind of blustery wind that has a coolness attached to it, the kind that is meant to shake leaves from trees and carry them away ...
Whether you live someplace where the transition to fall was drastically quick or you are still enjoying warm days and chilly summer-fall evenings, either way, fashion-wise, there is always one piece that has its moment of glory this time of year, and that is for me it is the blazer ...
We've already seen actual yellow leaves on the treetops and many more fallen ones on the ground. The air feels brisk and the clouds seem to hovering around more persistently these days, so there's no denying that autumn is well and truly on its way. Rather than be glum about it, we have decided to put together an inspiration board for you, of outfits (and the key pieces to buy) that will help you make the transition from these last fading summer days into the chilly mornings of autumn ...
The chances of you not knowing that I have a passion for stripes are almost impossible because out of seven days in a week, two or three of those days, I will style stripes into an outfit ...
The Windsor Bamboo Top Handle Wicker Bag with leather flap and the chicest top handle made of bamboo is the...
IN FEBRUARY IT of this year, there seemed to be a growing consensus that the skinny jean trend was officially over. The style that was ubiquitous for both men and women in the 2010s has had a good run and now it's time to move on and try something new ...
I READ SOMETHING recently that stated that the sales of colour cosmetics dropped 33% in 2020, and that sales of cosmetics overall dropped by 15%. While I did buy a few new eyeshadow palettes during that time despite not having anywhere to go (perhaps it was for the odd Instagram selfie), I did actually reduce spending on these items ...
I will easily accept that I am one of those girls who takes fashion inspiration from the southwest of France and the surfer haven of Biarritz, where the style scene is all about a sportswear chic style and effortlessness in every single detail. But what has the most influence everywhere else in the world is without a doubt the Riviera style.
