IT WAS A DRINKS on terraces kind of weekend, for all the tall, tall lilac trees in our favourite neighbourhoods have become full and lush, leaving filtered sun rays and pretty dappled patterns on asphalt and car roofs and parked scooters awaiting trips to the market or the beach. We sat on wicker chairs and talked as places filled up at the tables nearby and waiters ambled along clearing empty glasses and crumpled napkins.

This week’s links include 3 Greek Island Homes with Incredible Views; rhinestone shorts and espadrilles, a hotel in Brazil and much, much more …

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”.
TO SAY THAT IT WAS an eventful weekend would be a massive understatement, for it was a wild weekend of fire an fireworks, crowds and cava. Last night was the ending of the city’s famous Fallas festival, a literal festival of fire which began on the 15th of March, creating ephemeral street art museums of neighbourhoods in the city, as well as surrounding towns and villages.
