ONE OF THE VERY FAVOURITE childhood homes I grew up in had a powder room that was known as “the blue bathroom”, for its pale blue decor palette. But what I remember most about that room, was that it had double sinks that were each shaped like seashells.
ON FRIDAY NIGHT, by the golden glow of hazy street lamps, we followed the strains of jazz to a clearing in the park to discover couples swing dancing. It was unexpected and utterly perfect for a midsummer’s night, and really rather romantic. On Saturday night, again in the park, we happened upon a full jazz concert, white garden chairs set around an outdoor stage in front of the water fountain filled with late-night revelers, some with children in tow, late-arriving tourists on bicycles and circles of friends on blankets on the grass, sharing a bottle of rosé. Summertime here is the very essence of joie de vivre and we’re lucky to be a part of it. This week’s links include Living with Pink and London’s 30 Most Instagrammed Restaurants, a blue & white beach house and much, much more …
RECENTLY CAME ACROSS this chic and dramatic home in Ostermalm, Stockholm on Bárbara's blog, Living Gazette. The 142 square foot, four bedroom apartment was listed on the real estate site Lagerlings for 17.5 million SEK (about 2 million USD). After looking closely at the space, there seemed to be something oddly familiar about the space -- the herringbone flooring, leopard rug, and especially the ginger jar blinds in the kitchen. Of course, remembered then that it was the same home we had featured here in August 2015 as the home of Christine Roth, then the Global Marketing Director at GANT. The décor has changed somewhat, but some of Roth's artwork, as well as the blinds and leopard rug, remain the same. Scroll through for a glimpse of this wonderfully eclectic space, and click here for a comparison of how the home looked previously.

THE NEW YORK TIMES Style Magazine ran a great piece recently on the Parisian designer and architect Joseph Dirand, a favourite of ours here at This Is Glamorous. In it, he spoke of one of his dream projects, one where he there were no creative or budgetary constraints, or any constraints at all for that matter. A project where he was completely free to realise his fantasme with the client's blessing, who told him “I want you to achieve your dream; that would be my dream”.

Four years after the release of their last studio album, Goldfrapp are back — which is a great thing for those among us who can’t wait, can’t wait anymore.
The prolific electronic UK duo, who first burst onto the scene with their debut record Felt Mountain nearly two decades ago in 2000, return with a track called “Anymore,” the first offering from their upcoming seventh studio album, Silver Eye, out on March 31.
