The high street stores typically launch several campaigns each season. After all they want to appeal to the mass markets and cater to all tastes. But the collection that caught my eye for Spring, Summer at John Lewis and Partners is the Urban Luxe collection. It’s very grown up. Contemporary design, bold shades, and luxurious…
There’s something very satisfying about combining textures and finishes in the same room. The rustic texture of chunky wood, the smooth coldness of concrete, and the soft warmth of velvet, all result in a look that can only be called Rough-Luxe. Add pink into the mix and you up…
