WHILE IT MAY BE TRUE that London has certainly has been merrier, what's done is done and all we can do now is make the best of things.
Winter days are here to stay. The city is ready for Christmas, gift shopping is an ongoing affair, we're all searching for more indoor activities to keep us busy since the temperature is close to 0°C everyday.
I probably should be the last person to should talk about Brach Hotel, as I only spent one hour in their restaurant for breakfast, but I think it’s more than enough to get a feel for the atmosphere and to absorb this chic Parisian experience.
We were in London a couple of weeks ago, as you know, to meet a friend and business associate from Spain. He was there, we would find out later, for the funeral of an old friend.
It’s been a while since I've tried something other than my favourite places, but this new place has already become much loved. The design is exquisite and the menu so delicious: the super chic and stylish Loulou was designed by Joseph Dirand, one of the most talented designers in Paris...

We've had the fortune of visiting the Scottish Highlands many times, and but it has been a while now, since we were living in Spain for the past three and a half years. Happening across Danja's Instagram page (@merlins_mind) made the absolute majesty of this incredible place come rushing back. An outdoor, photography, bicycle and kayak enthusiast (among other things), Danja's photo stream reads like the pages of a fairytale.

This break without Social Media is making me think a lot about what should I do next with regards to my online activity upon returning. Writing to you now from the Isle of Marguerite, where I see that you don’t really have to go to the other side of the world to find paradise, although I am all in for travelling. A corner of paradise is, after all, what we create for ourselves.
EARLIER THIS WEEK we ran a short Colour Story on Dusky Pink and everyone went a little crazy for a certain impossibly romantic restaurant with pink tablecloths bathed in lamplight, overlooking the sea.
