THEY SAY all good things must come to an end, and that is now true of our bestselling Windsor Bamboo Top Handle Wicker Handbag. Introduced in 2018 while we were living in Spain, and it has been a runaway bestseller ever since. Like many of our other wicker and rattan items, the Windsor is completely handmade by artisans in sunny Spain, about an hour by train outside of the city, past acres of sweet-scented orange groves and a castle ruin nestled high in the side of a mountain ...
IT'S THE FIRST of March after a long winter and the sun is streaming through the windows. The brighter mornings and longer days are calling us outdoors, even as we type away at our keyboards. The sounds of cars driving by, people rushing along to shops and appointments, and it feels like a new beginning ...
AT THE BEGINNING of 2020, athleisure was (still) the prevailing fashion movement: Nikes with long cream-coloured coats; blazers or camel coats over tracksuits; oversized blazers over hoodies and baseball caps with trenches. We're entering the third year of this pandemic⏤are you still in your sweats or are you ready to dress up again?
IT IS THAT TIME of year again, the time for wreaths and fairy lights and holiday films and bits of gift wrap and ribbon and shortbread cookies everywhere. We saw an Instagram comment by someone yesterday stating that she might get drunk and put up the tree tonight (it was a Tuesday). Yes, regular hours and workdays fade away during this time of year, which is decidedly more free-flowing and therefore, festive ...

To help those who may find these months a little difficult, here are a few light and lovely things with pretty details that have been on our shopping list for a while now ...
IT'S OFFICIALLY WINTER and after the solstice, the days are happily beginning to get longer again. Of course, that doesn't mean there won't be dark mornings and chilly nights for the next few months, and after the holidays are over...

Recently, had told you about our trip from Spain to the south of France, Scotland and the English countryside in late May, early June. It was during this trip that we fell in love (again) with the countryside and thought it might be time to do something completely different than we've done before.
If you're as crazy for fall outfits as we are, you'll love that plaids and checks are back again, and this time, we're pairing the trend, in the form of a wool midi skirt, with a Georgia striped high-neck alpaca-blend sweater. Other items on our list include Byredo's Bibliothèque, newly available as an eau de parfum, an intoxicating scent of fruity peach and plum top notes, floral violet and peony accords, and an earthy base of patchouli, leather and vanilla that lingers on the skin and is perfect for autumn. There are also some beautiful new pieces of jewellery from The Shop―scroll down for our complete autumn shopping list...
IT SEEMS LIKE OVERNIGHT the mornings have begun to get crisper and now, in mid-August, autumn seems to be slowly, nearly imperceptibly, inching its way into the nights. It's a bittersweet time, for summer's end is always something to lament, but change is good, and we do love new beginnings every once in a while.
OFFICIALLY SUMMERTIME and from ruffled mules in summer's favourite colour to natural rattan cane serving trays for drinks en plein air; linen wrap mini dresses and drop earrings made of the most romantic South Sea pearls; broderie anglaise and layers of tulle in a pleated day skirt, here are a few things on our shopping list lately...
IT'S THE SPRING BANK HOLIDAY here in Britain this coming weekend and the Memorial Day holiday in the US, and so we rounded up a few favourite things to shop for in anticipation of summertime: face oil and lip balm and the perfect little white dress and wicker bag; a gold sculpting bar that everyone seems to swear by at the moment, hoop earrings, a lace bralette, raffia mules and more...
OUR LONGSTANDING LOVE affair with the little white dress always goes into overdrive at this time of year. When long summer days are so near, one can't help but dream about this magical season, our favourite. We're looking forward to countryside picnics and morning walks along the shore, early evening dinners on the terrace by fairy lights and the sound of chirping crickets, all of course, in a favourite little white dress...
