“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 . . .

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: Sport Jackets and Slip Skirts
In April, we featured the enduring appeal of the slip skirt – easy, elegant, endlessly wearable. And now, just before summer officially begins, we’re returning to it with one of our favourite ways to style it: with a lightweight sport jacket.
The New Beauty Essentials
It’s mid-May and the lilacs have faded, their delicate purple petals fallen between the cobbles of the streets and into glistening puddles after the rain. We’ve begun discussing new gym memberships, though the prospect of achieving an actual summer-ready body…
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.
