How to Start a Silent Book Club
This to me is the perfect book club—no reading of books you have zero interest in, no awkward discussions, no house cleaning or veggie platters required. Just a meet up with like minded friends at a cafe or pub.

St. Vincent: New York
The new video for St. Vincent has some solid connections to the art world. Notes ARTnews Today: "The video, which you can watch here, features St. Vincent sitting in the midst of The Wall (1973), Forrest Myers’s glorious installation on Houston Street in Manhattan, spinning Tony Rosenthal’s beloved Alamo (1967) sculpture in Astor Place, and resting her head on a disco ball that’s sitting around—a loose nod, perhaps, to a famous Martin Kippenberger series."

The Greatest Goths in Literary History
August 30 marks 220 years since the birth of Frankenstein author Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, and to honour the occasion, writer Emily Temple takes a look at other goths in literary history. Time to break out the black lipstick.

Cauliflower Gratin With Garlic and Sage
With the evenings growing cooler, a hearty side dish like this one is a welcome change from the lighter salads of warmer weather.

Small is Beautiful

This lovely renovated 18th century Stockholm apartment has been getting lots of attention in the blog world lately, and it's easy to see why—it packs so much so style into so little space. I keep going back to it so decided to share it again here. See more over at Fantastic Frank.

A Designer Home

The lovely Stockholm apartment of H&M Home head of design Evelina Kravaev Söderberg shows how having a sure sense of one's own taste makes for a great interior. Söderberg spent several years gradually accumulating objects that she truly loved, allowing the space to evolve naturally. Well worth the wait. More here on Elle Decor.
