ON FRIDAY there was a salon appointment in the city, so we decided to spend the day. We stopped in for flat whites at our favourite coffee shop, did a little shopping, visited the art gallery and stopped in for oysters at a fancy food hall ...
Despite actually living it for the past year and a bit, only came across the term cottagecore recently. Cottagecore (also known as farmcore, countrycore, naturecore, honeycore or warmcore) is the internet aesthetic taking over our screens lately with its ultra-romanticised interpretation of rural and countryside life ...
The Notting Hill home of creative consultant and designer Matilda Goad, at first glance, falls neatly into the English countryside aesthetic we’ve all fallen for lately. Upon closer examination, however, the space definitely has its own modern spin ...
IT WAS ONLY A MATTER of time before we happened upon Julia Amory's Hamptons home in all its chintz-y splendour. Amory, her husband and their daughter split their time between New York City and the Hamptons, and it is this, their summer home, that we are in love with. Decidedly grandmillennial in style, it's a little new traditional with a healthy dose of grandma chic thrown in for good measure.
Lately I have focused my attention towards my hair because I felt it dryer than normal and more damaged―partly because of the fact that it's been a hotter summer than normal, and partly because of the chlorine water of the pool and the salty water from the sea.
Carlos Garcia Interiors was started twelve years ago by Carlos Sánchez-García to exhibit his passion for architecture, furniture design, textiles and antiques. His quintessentially English manor farmhouse in North Norfolk that he shares with his husband and two whippets is another one of our recent Instagram finds and another example of our enduring love for countryside and farmhouse style ...
EVERY SUMMER, there's always a picnic or two to look forward to. There is just something about the anticipation of preparing for a summer afternoon picnic―the wicker baskets and vintage tartan wool blanks, stopping by the bakery for a loaf of olive boule or sourdough; cakes and pastries from the bakery or smoked salmon and dill sandwiches from the larder, and of course, a bottle of cava or white wine―it's a bit of a production, and one we relish ...
James Blake has released a new track called “Are You Even Real?” Blake told Apple Music the track came out of initial sessions with the accomplished US writer and Mad Decent-affiliated artist Starrah. The cut, which was also written with help from Ali Tamposi, was completed at Electric Lady Studios in New York, Pulse Studios and Conway in the Los Angeles area and Blake’s home studio in LA.
IF YOU'VE BEEN READING for a while, you will know of our love for farm and country house style lately, and why we would be naturally drawn to this wonderful 19th century home in the centre of Barcelona.
THIS WEEK'S Mini Trends is filled with summery, beachy vibes, even if the rest of the summer will be spent somewhat in lockdown. If you've been scrolling through Instagram, you'll most likely have noticed that all the fashionistas have been traipsing about with a chic wicker market bag ...
IT HAS BECOME one of these typical British summers, with the weather suddenly turning chilly and rainy and even blustery and stormy at times. We had about three glorious days of summertime last week and made the most of it by spending as much time outside as possible, knowing that it couldn't last.
Tourist says of the new single, “'Last' to me, is a reflection on grief. I started this track with James a few years ago, and while writing it we noticed that we were hearing the lyric differently, I was hearing “you know you’re lost” whereas James was hearing “you know you last”. The duality of that truth resonated with me, as both meanings are applicable when someone leaves us. It has struck a more personal chord recently, as recently one of my dearest friends passed away very suddenly.”
There was something familiar and warm, freshness and cheerfulness, but also a lightness and harmony in the air in Saint-Tropez. Chic people walking around with raffia bags at the Sunday market, bougainvillea surrounding windows all over the city, pines and cypress, and the endless singing of cicadas ...
It has been a few weeks now since the day, May 25, when George Floyd lost his life on a street in Minneapolis, after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes during an arrest for allegedly using a forged $20 bill. And during this time, there has been much unrest around the world, thousands of people coming together to protest the tragic, violent and senseless death of this unarmed black man and the many that came before him; a coming together to protest systemic racism, police brutality, and years upon years of racial injustice.
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN quite as much as it used to, but every once in a while we happen upon a brand new and utterly charming Instagram account to follow that we've never seen before.
