Essential Tools: Hermès Ulysse Leather Notebook

I think we can agree that anything Hermès is worth writing about. I mean luxury is always worth writing about, non? But let's contextualize. At this stage I'd say it's best to re-cap how Hermès...

David Seidner: Portraits

If regalness could be captured and sold, it would undoubtedly manifest itself in David Seidner's series of society portraits. If you're anything like me (who knows, there may be more of us?) then...

Hairspiration: Michael Douglas
