The Verride Palacio Santa Catarina describes itself as a renovated historic townhouse in the heart of Lisbon―an understatement, perhaps, for the 18th-century palacio turned boutique hotel. Originally the home of a Portuguese count, the building was once a bank and even a venue for a pop-up art festival. The 1750 four-storey, 19 room hotel is located in Lisbon’s Chiado quarter and features stunning views over the Tagus River and Atlantic Ocean.
Planningtorock has a brand new album coming our way in November called ‘Powerhouse’, and this week she is giving us just a tiny taste of what we can expect with the smooth, gooey sounds of ‘Much to Touch’.
WE HAVE LONG been fans of white, for summertime, for wintertime, and of course, for autumn. This season, however, it seems as if everyone else has fallen for it as well, for on the streets of New York, London and Paris, there flashes of eggshell and ecru, glimpses of ivory and cream, flutters of pearl and beige.
Barrie are a new five-piece band based out of Brooklyn, and they’ve just released their debut single, “Canyons,” which is the kind of groovy, dreamy haze that’s easy to fall for.
This installment of ten things we love lately includes a hotel renovation with the help of Karl Lagerfeld (devastatingly chic with lots of...
THESE DAYS IT SEEMS LIKE there are never enough hours. While it would seem that the height of summer would be a time for slowing things down, here, things are whirling by faster than ever. We are in the midst of a few enormous projects as well as finishing up a few past ones, with new ones still to come before summer’s end. There are still trips to plan and family to visit and a million and one other things to complete. Through it all, we’re still finding time for walks in the lush and green palm tree lined parks, and for tasting new pasta recipes and for drinks in the sun. (And to P, now more than ever, there’s no one else I’d rather share, well, everything with.)
This week’s links include a new Italian restaurant in Paris and a beautiful space by Templeton Architecture; a recipe for Rosé Alfredo, a beachside Portuguese retreat and much, much more …
IMAGES features the work of commercial and editorial photographer and art director Jen Kay, whose sun-drenched glimpses of life in San Francisco have a bright, hazy and dreamlike quality to them. There are also travel adventures in Paris and Tulum, ruffled little white dresses and oysters and rosé . . .
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
Later this month, Soulwax will return with From Deewee, their first album in more than a decade. The 12-track effort was recorded in early February in just 48 hours at the electronic outfit’s Belgian studio. It’s said to be based on Soulwax’s Transient Program For Drums and Machinery show, which they took out on the road last year.
