I‘ve just returned from a weekend in the middle of nowhere, France, staying in an 11th century chateau with better modern art and design than any major museum I’d ever reluctantly queued up for. And a peculiar thing happened when I got home after 48 blissful hours away. At 10 o’clock on a Sunday evening, I suddenly began re-decorating. In the midst of carefully re-arranging…

In the province of Trapani, Sicily, there’s a portal through time about eighty meters high and seventy meters deep. Nestled inside the natural opening of two mountain peaks, lies a tiny village, consisting of quaint earth-colored houses, a chapel, stables, workshops and one cobbled main street. The village “piazza” of Grotto Mangiapane is located at the mouth of the cave where…

Tucked away in an overlooked neighbourhood of East London, quieter and smaller than Shoreditch but with the potential to outshine Brick Lane, Exmouth Market is an unsung gem of the city, a failsafe foodie stomping ground, safeguarded by locals and creative start-ups who set up shop in the hood over the last decade. I had made a…

I once heard this is where French Presidents take their mistresses. Discretely tucked away in a backstreet of South Pigalle, it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but I think that’s the idea. The windows are veiled with curtains hung just high enough so as not to give anything away about what or who is inside… Well,…

Having grown up a London girl, I always feel too guilty and awkward to stay in a hotel when I go back to visit, so I usually end up crashing on someone’s couch. But London is becoming home to some of the most interesting boutique hotels in the world as of late, which means I’m…

Like it or not, we’re living in a Wes Anderson world; from fashion trends to instagram fads to interiors, the director’s aesthetic has well and truly taken over. And if you want to make it your business to know the names of the movers & shakers behind our current generation’s design movement, you should probably…
Every city dweller dreams of a rooftop abode, penthouse views, or even just some space for a few potted plants and a small grill for the summer if you’re lucky. But this? This takes you back to your childhood, when dreams were made in tree houses and backyard forts. It’s the kind of property that speaks to…
It wasn’t until the end of my stay in New York that I realised I’d been living in an entirely shoppable dream apartment. The enviable furniture and covetable design accents might be hiding the price tags, but the decorating ideas are on the house. The Witness Apartment is a unique New York City loft that sheds its skin…
As much as I wish I could travel back and forth between Paris and New York (by way of my own secret portal disguised as a telephone booth, of course) for now, I’ve chosen Paris to roam and explore down to the very last cobblestone street. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been taking notes…
Abercrombie & Fitch– that slightly irritating brand for college kids whose preferred choice of footwear is flip flops all year long. But thanks to this historic house recently hitting the market, I’ve discovered there’s a slightly better story behind Abercrombie & Fitch. David Thomas Abercrombie was a true adventurer. Born to Scottish immigrant parents, he first…
