Arhaus Moves Its Charlotte Showroom to The Village at SouthPark
Images courtesy of Arhaus Arhaus has given its Charlotte presence a new home. The furniture and décor brand moved from SouthPark Mall to a freestanding showroom at The Village at SouthPark, which opened July 31. At roughly 35,000 square feet, it is now the brand's second-largest traditional showroom in the country. The space gives clients far more room to explore Arhaus's collections in a design-forward setting meant to spark ideas for every room of the home. It also nods to


FROM GRANDEUR TO GRACE
Interior Design by Layton Campbell, J. Layton Interiors. The experience of this home begins the moment the private elevator doors open. There are no windows in the foyer, so Layton Campbell of J. Layton Interiors chose not to fight its enclosed quality. Instead, he made it feel intimate, dramatic, and a little mysterious. A smoky blue antiqued mirror is set within the wall paneling, catching quiet reflections of the geometric marble floor below. A custom Hellman Chang console


BEAUTY SLIGHTLY ENDANGERED
In Party Crasher, photographer Nick Mele sends a horse through a formal dinner, revealing a world where tradition, absurdity and deeply personal taste coexist. Photography by Nick Mele At first glance, everything appears perfectly civilized. A table has been set with flowers, candelabras and wine. The guests are dressed for dinner at a farm in Virginia. Then a horse and rider fly through the middle of it. The photograph, titled Party Crasher, is theatrical, elegant and comple


The Rooms We Never Forgot
Why the most memorable interiors are layered, personal and never quite finished. Adam Lippes Photogrpahy | @hautebohemiansmfv What makes one beautiful room disappear from memory while another stays with us for years? It is rarely the price of the furniture. It isn't necessarily the architecture, the pedigree of the designer or even how perfectly everything works together. In fact, some of the rooms we remember best are the ones where things don't quite match. There might be a


12 Beautiful Places to Escape Before Summer Slips Away
August always arrives with a slight sense of urgency. The days are still long, hydrangeas are still in bloom, and dinner can still stretch well past sunset. Yet the first cool evening or unexpectedly quiet beach is enough to remind us that summer is beginning to turn. It is often the best moment to leave town. Not for a complicated trip or an overfilled itinerary, but for a few days somewhere that makes it easier to slow down. A hotel beside the water. A country inn surrounde

The Haaland Effect: Inside the Striker’s Extraordinary $300K+ Hermès Vault

Manchester City’s elite talisman and Norwegian powerhouse, Erling Haaland, has officially claimed the title of fashion’s favorite football icon. The 25-year-old strik


The Ocean House
Some hotels are destinations. Others become traditions. Images courtesy of the Ocean House Perched high above the Atlantic in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, Ocean House has occupied that rare space for more than 150 years. The iconic yellow Victorian hotel feels deeply tied to a disappearing kind of coastal elegance, one rooted not in performance, but in ritual, tradition, and return. The first thing I noticed arriving at Ocean House was how little it felt like a modern resort.


Barbuda’s Next Great Coastal Legacy
Images courtesy of The Beach Club, Barbuda There is a distinct magic that occurs when pristine, untouched nature meets an elevated design sensibility. On the southwest coast of Barbuda, across two miles of blindingly white and pink sand shoreline, that vision is taking shape. The Beach Club, Barbuda—one of the Caribbean’s most quietly anticipated residential enclaves—has officially unveiled its real estate portfolio, inviting a discerning few to secure a permanent piece of th


THE EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE OF HOME
Photography by Michael Blevins The difference is rarely scale or excess. More often, it is something quieter, proportion, atmosphere, warmth, and the subtle feeling that every detail has been considered not only for how it looks, but for how it allows people to live. That philosophy defines this latest residence by Grande Custom Builders. Designed with an understated Parisian glamour, the Charlotte home balances sophistication with an ease that feels increasingly rare in mo


LOUIS VUITTON LAUNCHES FIRST RIVET-FREE ALUMINUM SUITCASE WITH MARC NEWSON
Images courtesy of Louis Vuitton When Louis Vuitton launched its first collaboration with Marc Newson over 10 years ago, he was already the most celebrated industrial designer of his generation. His portfolio spanned virtually every field, from furniture to aircraft, and his futuristic aluminium chair, the Lockheed Lounge, had repeatedly commanded staggering sums at auction. For Louis Vuitton, he created a limited-edition biomorphic rucksack in 2014 to celebrate the Monogram,


A New Altitude
Images courtesy of Otto Aviation There is a particular moment in aviation when progress stops looking incremental and begins to feel architectural—when the shape itself suggests a different way of thinking. The Phantom 3500, developed by Otto Aerospace, belongs to that category. At first glance, it appears unfamiliar. No visible windows. A smooth, uninterrupted fuselage. A silhouette that feels closer to a concept than a finished aircraft. That impression is intentional. Th


Cannes: The Convergence of Cinema and Style
Every May, a small crescent of the French Riviera transforms into the undisputed center of the cultural universe. To call the Festival de Cannes a mere "film festival" is like calling a vintage Bordeaux "just fermented juice." It is an alchemy of high art and high fashion—a ten-day fever dream where the cinematic stakes are as high as the six-inch stilettos navigating the cobblestones of the Croisette. Here, the convergence of cinema and style isn’t just an aesthetic choice;


48 Hours in Mystic
Where heritage is woven with salt air, culinary mastery, luminous art, and the quiet magic of rivers meeting sea. You arrive at Delamar Mystic in that golden stretch between day and dusk, when the river seems to hold its breath and the town glows in reflected light. This isn’t a hotel that merely sits in Mystic — it carries the town’s story in its bones. Walls in the public spaces are adorned with nautical pieces drawn from the personal collection of Charles Mallory, a descen


Where Art Lives
Stephanie Rapp Interiors Designs a Westport Home Around a Collector’s Eye When a well-traveled couple returned to Connecticut after years abroad, they weren’t looking simply to renovate a home—they wanted to create a place where their life’s collection of art could truly live. The result is Gallery Chic, a striking 10,000-square-foot Westport residence reimagined by Stephanie Rapp Interiors as both a sophisticated home and an immersive backdrop for an extraordinary collection


Shake Up Mother’s Day With 3 Brunch-Ready Cocktails
Forget the burnt toast and the "World’s Best Mom" mug for a second. If you really want to celebrate the woman who dealt with your teenage years, you’re going to need something chilled, sparkling, and served in a fancy glass. Whether your mom is a "rosé all day" enthusiast or a "double shot of espresso" powerhouse, we’ve got the perfect pour for her special Sunday. The "Mom-osa" Upgrade Best for: The Classic Bruncher The standard OJ-and-bubbly is fine, but Mom deserves a promo


The Reimagined Lobby at The Chanler

The Chanler at Cliff Walk recently unveiled a transformation of its lobby and guest spaces that feels less like a renovation and more like a gentle awakening, blending Gilded Age bones with a spirited, modern pulse. The arrival experience centers on a reception desk of scalloped white oak, accented with hammered brass and glowing onyx. Behind it, twenty brass keys hang in a luminous d
