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…

Manuel Amado | An Extraordinary Ordinariness
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. However, step inside and you are transported to another world. Another time. Another…

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…

Amsterdam | Europe’s Cool Cousin
Amsterdam is coolness, its just that simple. Coolness. Wander around with Van Gogh on your mind, let the blooms of tulips in the spring enchant you, a visual feat of architecture, weed? Yes. The Red Light District? Sure. But those are mere parts in a city filled with personality and the best pancakes I’ve ever…
