Perhaps it is warm wood in white interiors and gilded chandeliers, or the tan leather of a convertible with the top down on a breezy afternoon; a sun-dappled corner of a favourite café or the warm woven wicker of a basket bag set off by the billowy white ruffles of a silk dress.
THIS WEEKEND BEGAN a little early, with oysters and cava on Thursday afternoon in celebration of recent accomplishments and of summertime.
