A Gift Guide for those in your life with an appreciation for Dieter Rams and beautifully designed things, whose coffee tables are stacked with thick books on the subject, we've selected for you a few classics, old and new--art deco drop earrings and industrial-inspired ones too; vintage-inspired shoulder bags and timepieces mean to stand the test of, well, time...
Our recent Edit: The Case for Cowboy Boots was so well received that we found ourselves surprised by how many of you love this style of boot, especially in its updated incarnation. So, we've rounded up a few more styles to shop, along with a few High/Low selections. And while you loved our first selections, we also received a few requests for more affordable options, which we've included at the end of the page.
The holidays are here! In New York, giant snowflakes adorn Fifth Avenue, the leaves are at their golden and crimson height, windows are being dressed, and soon snow will transform Central Park into a winter wonderland. There are more visitors than usual in Manhattan during this time of year. Inevitably, I will be asked for directions to Sephora or Glossier.
It's time again for introducing the new arrivals at The Shop, and this week, there are so many beautiful things. At Belgrave Crescent, there is the Brontë Small Duffle Bag, a sleek and modern design that comes with two thin handles fastened with gold Chicago screws; there is the Alcott Small Leather Tote, which is the perfect size for everyday, yet strong enough to carry as much as you can fit into it, even two bottles of champagne.

I recently attended the 6th edition of the event, where Nadia Candet had once again asserted her curatorial taste on the Haussmannien apartment where the event is held with a selection of contemporary artists and designers, a wide variety of artwork, furniture and design objects that come together as a unified whole. This year’s theme is highlighting the Current Trends. The great mise en scene is not only an exhibition event but also a private sale event.
The days are getting shorter and darker, and so to brighten up chilly autumn mornings, here are a few of our favourite October kitchen essentials, from the prettiest pink glass pitcher to always cheerful and elegant preserved topiaries, impossibly chic cane and lucite trays, golden flatware and gilded table lamps...
With summer coming to a bittersweet end, I thought about rounding up the beauty products for the coming season that I keep seeing in every story, article, beauty editor’s desk. One of the best things about summer is that sun helps a lot for having colour and a healthy & no-make up visage with ease. But heureusement, a shimmering look can be easily achieved during the rainy days too.
“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen.”
