    Are you one of those germaphobe types? See, I know you. And you’ll love Aesop’s Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash. I’m not even going to try to hide my confidence (even if that was quite a statement). Because it’s simple. This is the best hand wash I have ever used, and definitely the best you’ve ever used …

  • 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 effortlessly evokes feelings escapism and endless travel. Voyages of the imagination – remember how much you loved riding a bike on Lake Como? …

  • Oil Your Face: Shu Uemura Skin Purifier

    This is going to be weird. I mean why add oil to your face, right? Wrong. Do it. Shu Uemura’s Skin Purifier is the answer. At this stage you’re probably thinking: so how did this all happen?

Besides, smelling like an Old Boys clubroom doesn’t …

  • Yago Partal’s Zoo Portraits

    It’s Friday – meaning life is good. But things could always be slightly better. The suggestion? Yago Partal’s Zoo Portraits. By now I’ve made my views known re: the whole let’s-play-dress-up-with-animals thing, I think? If not, well hello! I’m kind-of a big fan (remember William Wegman for Acne Studios and Takkoda’s Famous Faces?). And if further justification is really needed, …

  • 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 discovering Seidner’s work is kind-of a big huge deal. Sure, Seidner might be known for shooting some pretty incredible editorials for Italian Vogue, Paris …
