STRANGE to be writing this message on the very last day of the year, as when many of these photos were taken, the month of December stretched out like a long and languid dream.
Year: 2018
Maybe this year there were more lows than highs, or maybe all of your resolutions weren’t accomplished, maybe some projects haven’t seen the light of day, or perhaps everything was just perfect. The most important thing is that we are all trying and that we are not giving up.
IN THESE LAST DAYS before Christmas, the city sidewalks are filled with last-minute shoppers, merry with the flush of cava and happy to be jostled about by the elbows and shopping bags of grandmothers with arms filled with gifts, and couples hoping to surprise one another with their thoughtfulness. Everywhere, there seems to be a feeling of good cheer.
Sara Shakeel's bio simply and hilariously says, "I was a Dentist". And it's no wonder that she uses the past tense, for The Original Crystal Artist is enjoying quite a bit of internet notoriety these days.
These days have been filled with lots of dinners and parties for many Parisians. Meanwhile, there are is always some last-minute shopping and final outfit preparations for the next holiday soirée, so I gathered a few outfit ideas inspired by my clients' shopping.
We have been using oils as part of our bedtime routine long before it was ever trendy to do so. We have also recently begun adding a 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil to our daytime and haircare routines as well and honestly can't get enough of these wonderfully moisturising products.
There is such importance placed on curating one's social media feeds, especially when it comes to Instagram. But what about curating a media experience?
FEW THINGS can conjure up the holiday spirit more than a perfectly decorated home and Ven House, the early-Georgian mansion built for a wealthy lawyer (who went bankrupt in the process) in the countryside near the Somerset village of Milborne Port, is exactly that.
Dev Hynes has returned to Negro Swan – the latest album under his Blood Orange moniker, released back in August — for a remix of “Smoke,” the project’s closing track.
SOUTH SEAS PEARLS hanging from gold starfish and belted brushed cashmere coats; miracle tonics and Bamboo Top Handle Baskets Bags -- these are a few of our favourite things...
WE FIRST featured this Paris apartment in the Place des Vosges three years ago, in September 2015. Decorated by French-American designer Marianne Tiegen, this space was featured in its entirety despite not all the rooms being exactly our taste.
We live in a world so addicted to speed and noise, I realize every day that everything we do is in such a hurry. At work I observe clients always in a hurry. On the streets (with the exception of the Rive Gauche side of Paris where time seems to stand still) there is a rythme frenetique, as the locals say.
When we first moved to Spain three years ago, one of the only things that we lamented was that around the holiday season, the city just didn't seem very festive. There was the usual carousel and a few smaller decorated trees here and there, but over all, the shops and streets never really got into the holiday spirit like they do in the UK.
