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 ...
IT'S THE HEIGHT of summer and the weather has been all over the place this year. After a perfectly wonderful sun-drenched week of bicycle rides in the countryside and a day by the seaside, the weather is set to change again—to overcast skies and rain. Here are a few looks we've been collecting lately, style inspiration for navigating these mid-summer days: from layering shorts with a light knit and a trench to classic summer whites and more ...
IT FELT STRANGE and wonderful to see fashion filling our social media feeds once again, after so much time away. Some shows were projected to our screens in the form of live video streams, some were artistic films, while others still were small live shows in front of Parisian audiences for the first time in ages. Fashion always makes us dream, which is a lovely thing during these uncertain times, and dream we did. Here are a few of our favourite settings, thoughts, and looks from the Fall 2021 haute couture season ...
It has been a while since the city has been so busy and filled with joy and laughter and traffic. And this change is in part thanks to the fashion community, who are finally back in the city to celebrate being back with their colleagues again, to reconnect with designers and P.R. and to assist with the shows ...
EMMA HILL, this week's Blogger Style feature, may be the queen of autumn dressing, but since the weather hasn't been exactly cooperating lately, perhaps a little cool weather style inspiration is appropriate, until at least (hopefully) next week, when summer promises to return again. Even still, Hill's expert layering works for any weather...
THERE HAVE BEEN a few great trends for spring-summer 2021 so far—waistcoats, shrunken cardigans, Breton stripes and billowy summer dresses—just to name a few, but here are OUR VERY FAVOURITES: from the return of the silk satin midi skirt to the crisp and classic blue shirt (with or without stripes); preppy coordinated sweater sets and tiny tennis skirts; oversized trench coats and pretty silk scarves..
If you are the kind of person that reads the tags when buying clothes and pays attention to where your clothes are manufactured, you may have notice that are many of the worldwide internationally known brands have factories in Europe. But do you know that many of these brands are manufactured in Romania? Brands such as AMI, Harmony, A.P.C, and Max Mara have most of their collections made in Romania.

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.
“What are your challenges when it comes to shopping?” This was a question I asked online the other day to try and find out the problems you are confronted with when you go shopping. There were a few clients who were the inspiration for this line of thought through the conversations we had in the changing rooms that probably make more sense now, after all the time we've had over the past year to reflect on our style and choices ...
IF YOU ARE A REGULAR here at TIG, you will know how much we love our summer whites. This summer, however, the trend has shifted toward summer black, if that were ever a thing. From strapless sundresses to sexy cut-outs; linen two pieces and midi dresses, pleated playsuits and more, here are a few of our favourite pieces in shades of black, along with a little style inspiration on how to wear them ...
How hard do you struggle to fit into clothes that don’t represent you, or to fit into a style that you see on Social Media? In a world of hashtags and algorithms, finding a style that represents your true self has become more and more difficult.
There is only one thing that gets me more excited than new clothes or a statement bag: my favourite part of styling during summertime is jewellery. I like colourful and playful jewellery that elevates any look from day to night, and brightens up your day no matter if it’s a back to the office kind of day or you're still working from home. There are endless possibilities to style your wardrobe with playful jewellery that is both effortless and elegant. A successful outfit will include these amazing pieces that I want to share with you that will instantly elevate any outfit you wear this summer.
When it comes to shoes I am very picky: I like simplicity, quality and comfort and prefer to have a few pieces to choose from, but in summer it is not always easy. I walk a lot in Paris (27K steps a day) and there are no better shoes than sneakers to help me get through the day ...
IN LATE APRIL, Kendall Jenner stepped out in a pair of wide-legged pleated pants, a white t-shirt paired with an oversized crisp white shirt. It was head-to-toe The Row, and it was easily the chicest spring outfit this year. The epitome of casual elegance, it was both dressy and comfortable ...
