WILD, WILD, SCOTLAND – GLENEAGLES, THE UNFORGETTABLE
It is unfair that a place be so magical and pretty and historic and enchanting all at once with EVERYTHING… every single thing, to do and more. It is unfair that at every corner awaits a surprise, a charming reveal, you feel spoiled upon walking in because everyone is falling over themselves to cater to…

PARIS | A SHORT STOP
PARIS is a city you do with friends not just lovers, but your best friends. Yes, its the Louvre and croissants and strolling along the Seine but it is a city for tipsy nights ambling along the Champs Elysée, giggling delightfully whilst watching the Eiffel Tower light show just before midnight. It is a city…

Curated by Paula Rego and Catarina Alfaro- The Summer Was Just Like A House To Live In, Where Everything Is… Casa das Historías, Cascais Portugal One of the best things about Art and certain artists is their ability to interprete the ordinary and make it a little less so.

CHURCHES OF EUROPE | IGREJAS DE SAO ROQUE & SANTA MARIA DE BELEM
Reportedly housing one of, if not, the richest chapel in Europe, Igreja de Sao Roque is unassuming from the outside, in comparison to the other buildings around it, and the architecture of Portugal, the exterior of the church is plain and uninspiring.

Lisbon- Charming Nostalgia
Lisbon is light, frivolous and… happy. In the summer, it is intoxicating, in the winter I would imagine serendipitous. It’s a happening spot, fun and flirty yet encapsulated by the charm of its history. For a city built on seven hills it is as theatrical as it is modern yet the history is not lost…

Summer Sessions No. 1- Pembrokeshire | Paradise Found
Summer is not cancelled, we are just doing things differently this year by staying local and discovering the pleasures that home has to offer. Back when outside was open and we were free to roam, summer was temperamental and now that we are finally allowed to step outside of our homes, albeit cautiously, summer is…

San Gimignano x Helmut Newton
San Gimignano is a small town in Italy, a medieval walled town surrounded by an outer newer town. Like all small towns and medieval villages it is utterly charming and old and cobbly and uphill and so, perfect. It is also not the place you expect to see a Helmut Newton exhibition, but that’s the…
