There are a lot of humans. Teeming is perhaps an unkind word, but when 8 billion people cram themselves on to a planet that, three centuries before, held less than a tenth of that number, it seems apt. Eight billion hot-breathed individuals, downloading apps and piling into buses and shoving their plasticky waste into bins – it is a stupefying...
THIS WEEKEND was the May Bank Holiday, yet, today, we've chosen to forgo the leisurely pace and return to our usual routine, save for a walk in the rain in the early afternoon hours. The current state of upheaval, a time of transition and change for us, is making it challenging to concentrate on work until circumstances stabilise a little.

THE INSTAGRAM algorithm seems to think that we love all things Scandinavian at the moment, and perhaps we do. That's how we came across Finnish social media content creator Metti Forssell (@mettiforssell) for this instalment of 10 IMAGES. We hadn't known of her before, but we love her penchant for chubby furniture and boiserie, chevron flooring and chandeliers; coffee and pastries on marble tables, shrimp pasta, bouclé chairs and more...

IT MAY SEEM unconventional at first to choose this range of colors in springtime, when others are opting for shades of green and daffodil. However, when you consider the muddy fields and the still bare branches awaiting their new leaves...
HAD INTENDED to share this article much earlier, but it simply fell by the wayside amidst my busy schedule. No matter though—the timeless Fair Isle sweater is never not in style.
FASHION MONTH used to be a time we eagerly featured the pieces we loved most from our favorite shows. But that tradition waned in recent years, perhaps since the start of the pandemic. However, Simone Rocha and Jean Paul Gaultier's recent collaboration at Couture Fashion Week was a reminder of what we had been missing.
Clemency and I first began discussing a collaboration nearly six years ago, sometime in 2018. Little did we know that a worldwide pandemic was looming, which would soon put everything on hold.

A NEW YEAR, a fresh start—and storage, office spaces, and other reoganising projects seem to be on everyone’s minds this January. As far as office inspiration goes, we love the look of these calm and collected spaces with their airiness and neutral palettes.
FOR QUITE some time, we had intended to visit Primrose Hill, the charming neighbourhood in northwest London nestled between Camden Town and Regent’s Park. However, it was the opening of a new bagel shop on Regent’s Park Road that proved to be the incentive we needed to finally make the excursion.

While it has been a privilege to run such an inspiring and highly-regarded digital publication all these years, some of you who have been here since the beginning may feel a touch of nostalgia for the early days of blogging—the intimacy and sense of community.
IT WAS a beautiful sunny day in late December when we stopped by The Orange gastro pub, an historical gem nestled in the heart of Belgravia. Thought to be named after William of Orange, its origins trace back to the 1800s when it was originally established as a brewery on the grounds of a former coffee house.
