WE'LL BE the first to admit that this first instalment of our TIG Holiday Gift Guide is more like a personal shopping list of the things we've been coveting (such as the beautiful electric bicycle made in Brooklyn and the Céline Fair Isle jersey) rather than a straight-up gift guide.
DON'T OFTEN GET a chance to answer many of your Instagram DMs, but have noticed that many questions seem to be around similar topics, so I thought it might be helpful to address some common things here. And while it's lovely of you to compliment my hair, I am unable to share my current stylist's information for privacy reasons, but do very much appreciate the kind words and will be sure to pass them along.
EARLY AUTUMN is one of those tricky times when the weather is still quite unpredictable. Early autumn in England is a time of transition, as the weather shifts from warm summer days to cooler, wetter conditions. This changeover period is notoriously difficult to predict, as weather systems become more variable—one day may be mild and sunny...
LAST WEEK there was a London heatwave and it was far too hot to even consider autumn clothes. Then, seemingly overnight, the heat dissipated and across the street, there are suddenly yellow fallen leaves strewn at the end of all the neighbour's drives.
AS YOU MOST likely know by now, the chunky knit and silk/satin skirt combination is a classic. We've written about it several times here and every year, around this time, the look becomes relevant once again...
A half-formed thought feels worse than an empty head—the tip-of-the-tongue sensation, the inkling of a there there without the foggiest notion of how to get, well, there. Especially dire is when the “what” that we wish to articulate feels half-formed itself, something observable yet emergent, for which the masses have yet to find language.
Mayfair, an exquisite neighbourhood nestled in the heart of London, is a true embodiment of elegance and refinement. With its timeless charm, Mayfair stands out in its sophistication, effortlessly combining history with modern luxury. Picture yourself strolling down tree-lined streets adorned with Georgian townhouses...
YES, IT'S TRUE, Anna Dello Russo can pull off nearly any look. The Italian fashion journalist is known for her bold style, but this double duty denim look is surprisingly wearable.
IF YOU'RE in the midst of a Corporate Girl Summer and need outfit inspiration, we've got just the thing: the ever classic tan trousers (or pants in other parts of the world) with a crisp white shirt combination, the perfect soft neutrals for summer days.
YOU LOVED our High-Waisted Shorts for Summer Days selections so much, we couldn’t wait to share another variation of this look. Instead of cream or beige-coloured shorts with white or blue shirts, this alternative involves mixing black tops and white shorts.
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.
One of the stultifying but ultimately true maxims of the analytics movement in sports says that most narratives around player performance are lies. Each player has a “true talent level” based on their abilities, but the actual results are mostly up to variance and luck.
Architectural Digest has pronounced “White Chocolate Minimalism” the new interior trend to watch. Consisting of primarily neutral colours and predominantly organic materials, its aim is serenity, by way of rooms constructed of “sophisticated yet unfussy comfort”.
One of the most-asked questions is about my beauty and makeup routine. My skincare regimen changes with the seasons, with less makeup and rich moisturisers in the summertime, and the opposite in the winter. It's especially important to care for your skin in the wintertime because the cold, dry air can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, itchy, and more susceptible to cracking and irritation.
