HOW I LIVE TSLL (IG @thesimplyluxuriouslife)

It's is Friday and that means a new This & That is It's is Friday and that means a new This & That is on the blog! Full of finds, new releases and premieres. Take a peek at what you'll discover ➡️ Books, and art and music is just the beginning this week! A favorite French series returns after a three year hiatus, clothing and accessory finds for autumnal and winter style in a range of prices, a new satirical movie that looks to be a must-see no matter how absurd it may at first sound, another film takes us to the streets of NYC to solve a mystery with an intriguing sleuth at the helm, and still, there is so much more.
Luxury in action: An autumn evening in @lepapillon Luxury in action: An autumn evening in @lepapillongarden as the sun slowly descends, autumn color on the trees and throughout the garden, a new book, birdsong heard from the bustling nearby cafés, a hot Cuppa, and 🐾 company.
A new podcast episode on @thesimplesophisticatepod A new podcast episode on @thesimplesophisticatepodcast , and we're exploring and learning how to be our own decorator as guided by a book and expert in the field @rosetarlowmelrosehouse . Episode #436 explores 10 approaches to creating A Sophisticated Sanctuary — How to Decorate Our Home to Reflect Our Private Self
