IT HAS BEEN NEARLY thirty degrees Celsius every day for the past week and the only way to keep cool is in billowy dresses or summer whites. Yesterday, it was a pair of white jeans with an off-the-shoulder top, pulled together with a favourite wicker handbag, which as just been restocked at The Shop ...
THERE ARE THINGS that we always come back to, despite the unending onslaught of trends and fast fashion. Things that we've worn in with memories and adventures, and taken with us on special occasions such as that little out-of-the way boutique hotel at the top of the hill in Lisbon, or that beautiful Saturday morning at the market in Spain last summer, the sunlight pouring in through the domed Art Nouveau roof above.

THIS WEEKEND we left the city behind with friends for a beautiful beach we’d never been to before. (If you follow on Instagram, you would have seen, in our Stories, the photos and video clips of white sands and grassy dunes and the lull of turquoise crashing waves.) After a leisurely walk along the coast in the bright sun and the bluest Mediterranean skies, we stopped in at the most charming restaurant that serves local cuisine, for a long and lingering lunch of the best seafood paella we’d ever tasted so far.
THERE HAS BEEN a definite shift in the light since spring has arrived—not just since the clocks have gone back, but also with the amount of sunny days there have been. The clouds of winter days seem to have faded into clear and bright skies and everywhere ...
