“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot an the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.”
—Charles Dickens
While it may have been one of those March days that Charles Dickens spoke of, it is the official first day of Spring! and we’re excited about pink blossoms on trees in the city and bright sunny days, flowering hedges and awaking early, pink kitten heels and shimmery bomber jackets, duchess-satin wrap coats and soft suede mules—here are a few favourite things on our SPRING shopping list . . .
Spring is kitten heels made of suede from Santa Croce . . .
Versailles by Emily Faulstich — view more here .
If you haven’t yet picked up The Parish-Hadley Tree of Life: An Intimate History of the Legendary Design Firm by Brian McCarthy & Bunny Williams you simply must! It is a favourite — so many beautiful prints & patterns and classically chic rooms.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.
—from the last verse of the poem If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda

Style File: November Shopping List /002
There’s something undeniably enchanting about November – the crisp air, the first hints of winter, and the promise of festive gatherings just ahead.
Style File: November Shopping List
With Christmas exactly one month away, and our neighbourhood’s lighting ceremony on Thursday evening, one can’t help but get a little caught up in all the holiday excitement. Here are a few things on our list, from the kinds of pieces that feel made for this in-between moment of the year, when November is slipping quietly toward winter and everything seems to slow under the softer light.
A Few Things We Loved this Week 12.11.25
In our Weekly Newsletter, we often highlight a few things that inspired us that week (you can see those here). It’s been a while since we’ve shared something similar in this space, so we thought we’d bring it back for the holiday season—this time with a focus on meaningful offerings you might want to share with others…
Lately at our Newsletter, Hyperreality /006
The clocks went back this past Sunday, and all anyone can talk about is how dark it’s become. It is dark, and it will take some adjusting. After all, it’s that season again – the one Hemingway said made you sad without knowing why.
Style File: October Shopping List
The light is slipping away earlier and earlier, and once British Summer Time ends on the 26th, we’ll lose even more of it. I won’t pretend I’m taking it well. People are posting their loafers and soft sweaters, but outside it’s cold, wet, and sharp with wind.
Lately at our Newsletter, Hyperreality /005
It’s been three months since the last our last newsletter update, though it feels both longer and shorter than that – like most things lately. Since then, we’ve moved constantly: Scotland to England, city to city, trains and overnights and cafes that all blur together now. Glasgow, London, Stamford, Manchester. A collage of impressions.
