WE TRIED TO come up with a few different ideas this year for the men in your life⏤a silver retro-style rotary-inspired telephone, an all-aluminium suitcase, an eggplant serving platter, and a striped throw cushion.

EVER SINCE Edinburgh, we have been off our routines—the workouts, the cardio sessions on the exercise bike, the daily countryside walks. Summer might have something to do with that as well, but it has been a while now that we've not been able to keep all of our Monday, Wednesday, Friday workout commitments. I had thought today might be a start, but in truth, perhaps nothing will be back to normal until September. (Can you believe that it is already nearly mid-August?)
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.

As the story goes, Najeeba Hayat, founder and creative director of up-and-coming footwear label Liudmila, was freshly graduated from Wesleyan University with a degree in government when she decided that she wasn’t destined for a life of bureaucratic “banging your head against the wall.” Pursuing a lifelong love of style, Hayat moved to Milan and took a shoemaking course at the ArsSutoria School.
It is the height of summer and we’re feeling a little wistful about Ibiza, the island whose turquoise waters, rugged coves and secluded white beaches gets under your skin. And so, this installment of The Edit features a little bohemian chic by way of wicker mirrors and ceramic vases, ikat throw cushions and a book on the subject — and because we can never resist a little glamour, shimmery body oil, diamonds and feathery pink shoes …
