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 ...
Over the course of the past year, our social media streams began to change. The endless photos of trips to far-flung places like Japan and Australia, and influencer favourites like Bali and Santorini slowly gave way to quarantine home scenes. Quiet lockdown moments of living room cocktails and freshly baked loaves of Dutch oven bread, solitary sofa scenes of open laptops and Netflix streams ...
These two weeks at work, I’ve been paying attention to what people are shopping for, for Christmas, and there is a certain common that is running through everyone's purchases: cosiness ...
RECENTLY ORDERED A new chunky cable knit sweater and it's the warmest, cosiest thing. In fact, if it were not for cosy jumpers and crackling cottage fires, autumn would be nearly unbearable with its damp, cloudy days, bare branches after all the leaves have fallen, and inevitable end in winter ...
With performances racked up beside Grimes, The xx and Battles, GIUNGLA’s (aka Ema Drei) propulsive modus operandi sports an all-encompassing gloss. It’s bolstered on her recent singles by the production acumen of Luke Smith, known for his work with Foals and Depeche Mode, amongst others.
LIKE THE SWEATER VEST (or grandpa trend), the last Mini Trend we featured, the knit or sweater dress is perfect for autumn days. Whether with a crew neck or roll neck, worn belted or loose, it's simple and chic and cosy all at once. Here are a few of our favourites...
Walking around the glamorous and chic corners of Bon Marché, I came across two mannequins styled with knitted sweater vests, while salesperson was dressing, at the exact moment that I was passing by, another mannequin with a cream knitted vest over a striped shirt.
TO SOME PEOPLE, orange and brown are the colours of autumn. And perhaps they are, in October or November. To me, September, with one foot still in summer, feels more like neutrals--cream and ecru and rust and sand. September to me, is tall leather boots and cloudy Parisian skies, coffee and cosy knits and floods of morning light...
THERE ARE AT LEAST three more weeks of lockdown here in the UK, so to make the best of it, here are a few cosy images of being at home―homebody inspiration for the introverts and extroverts alike.
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 ...
With the sales starting today and with the fresh fashion resolutions that I just set out for this new year, it may seem difficult to choose not only what and how to buy. This year is the year where I will invest in more quality pieces, timeless wardrobe staples, and versatile, wear-anywhere style ...
WINTER IS NOT OUR favourite time of year. Sure we love Christmas and in February we're into Valentine's Day, but we do not love the cold at all. And on this Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, we're optimistically looking at ways to make the best of this season by keeping cosy in Down Puffer Trench Coats, V-neck jumpers and Merino wool pullovers, hoodies, faux shearling and wool blend trousers...
Have been loving the weather lately: all the colour changing in the parks and watching the leaves turn during my strolls. The days are cooler already so we are in need of big cosy knits, warm coats and chic layering.
If you're as crazy for fall outfits as we are, you'll love that plaids and checks are back again, and this time, we're pairing the trend, in the form of a wool midi skirt, with a Georgia striped high-neck alpaca-blend sweater. Other items on our list include Byredo's Bibliothèque, newly available as an eau de parfum, an intoxicating scent of fruity peach and plum top notes, floral violet and peony accords, and an earthy base of patchouli, leather and vanilla that lingers on the skin and is perfect for autumn. There are also some beautiful new pieces of jewellery from The Shop―scroll down for our complete autumn shopping list...
EARLY OCTOBER and no one seems to be able to let go of whites just yet, pairing creamy silk slip skirts with cosy ecru turtlenecks or balloon sleeve maxi dresses with tall leather boots. Whether boiler suits or blazers, pleated dresses or cropped denim, autumn comes in shades of white...
