Armchair Traveler

Stepping straight onto the beach from your chic boho cottage is pretty much the definition of a relaxed holiday. You'll find this one on Satellite Island, off the coast of Tasmania.

Atelier: Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun

Portrait of Theresa, Countess Kinsky, 1793 by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun. I was fortunate enough to see a huge exhibition of Vigée Le Brun's paintings at the National Gallery of Canada this summer — definitely one of the best shows I've ever attended.

A 1930's apartment in Warsaw, Poland, gets an update with a Paris accent, thanks to Marta Chrapka of the design studio Colombe Design. Love the playful approach — this is a stylish space that doesn't take itself too seriously. More here on Vogue Australia.
