Studio - Time to unplug

Hello Sunshine and Hello Eclipse! July marks evolution personally and in relationships for Cancer, so this is your month to grow, embrace change and embrace being YOU. Learn to love your own company. How about treating yourself to a day out, a day to disconnect and unwind. Get lost in a good book and take time to reflect. Whilst you’ll feel most of the planetary energy on you, expect unique and powerful things to happen this month, be alert and be expressive, just like our Code Collection. Available in two styles, Classic & Dot, these playful designs come in a range of colours to suit your mood.  SHOP HERE

The only playlist you need to listen to this Summer: Here is to endless Summer dreaming and making the best memories! Listen to this playlist when the sun is shining and you'll get the perfect tunes for an unforgettable Summer 2019.

Still life photography certainly reflects more than just some fruits in a bowl: While the French refer to it as “nature morte,” or 'dead nature', we at Larsson & Jennings believe that this kind of photography reflects a way more lively nature than you might think. Hence we want to introduce you to four of our favourite contemporary artists whose work reflect everything from commercial over natural to romanticised elements.  ALICIA @queridamaldita Joss McKinley @jossmckinley Jacob Reischel @jacobreischel Sophie Tajan @sophietajan 

June is here and the sun is in your sign! This means now is the perfect time for you to shine bright while getting in touch with the bundle of mixed emotions that you’ve been holding within. Learning to listen more to your inner voice while setting your priorities right should be at the top of your to-do list in June. Apart from that? Simply enjoy the start of Summer and don’t stress about organising your finances too much. When Venus enters your sign on 8th June you’ll get that extra boost of confidence, making you want to breathe in the fresh scent of Spring and dress in a bright, happy colours. And while the sun isn’t merely shining from within your heart, our LJXII Lugano Milanese 33mm in gold and satin-white will reflect this unbreakable positive mood on the outside. SHOP HERE

This week it's time to let go and follow those sweet daydreams in your head with our brand new L&J Playlist.  

Summers are certainly made for enjoying life under the sun but besides all the cocktails and barbecues, it’s also the perfect time of the year to reclaim your mind and body. We picked the hottest yoga and wellness retreats that you shouldn’t miss out on if you are planning a luxury soul-searching getaway this year. Namasté! 1. Soul & Surf 2. Bhutan Yoga Retreat 3. Bliss Body Retreat  

Tell us about your role at Larsson & Jennings. What do you enjoy most about your job? I work in our Covent garden boutique and I’ve been here for a year and a half and actually started at Christmas, a pretty intense & busy time! I’ve always worked in retail, but this is the first luxury brand. I really like the L&J design because it's clean and minimal, less is more. Not everybody like a Rolex... What does your typical week look like? I like to keep things chilled & when I'm not working you'll find me chilling with my friends & I'm also learning how to code!  What does traveling mean to you? I haven't actually traveled very much, but I have been to Amsterdam and really liked it there. I really liked the, umm, canals... Three words that best describe your personality?  Calm, Patient, Loyal.  Best film of all time? USUAL SUSPECTS - I like how mysterious it is, but I won't say anymore, no spoiler alerts here. What would be the title of your biography? WHAT’S NEXT? Your guilty pleasure? I'm a bit of a TV & Netflix kinda guy. Perhaps I watch too much TV but who's judging..? Your favourite L&J watch? My favourite watch has to be the LJXII Lugano in black black. It goes with everything and isn't too fussy or flashy, not that I would say any of our watches are really.

Back in March, we honoured Mother’s Day in the UK with our special feature on ‘The Modern Day Mom’. This Sunday the time has finally come for all you moms based out of the US, Australia and other EU countries to celebrate motherhood in 2019.As life and parenting isn’t getting any easier, parents seem to be increasingly aware of a need for calm, mindfulness and spirituality. And as mamas make the world go round, we thought we’d put together two packages of ideas featuring little gifts that will melt every mommy’s heart. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
