“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

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,

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

The Slip Skirt, Endlessly

In February, it was all about winter lace, the pleasure of pairing something delicate with warm cardigans and thick woollen tights, a study in contrast that felt instinctive.

The April Moodboard

This is the month where everything begins to feel slightly undone in the best way possible. Coats are carried more often than worn, sleeves pushed up absentmindedly, collars left open.

There is something quietly subversive about wearing black in the spring.
