Gypset Life

One of Scout’s favourite book finds last year was Gypset by Julia Chaplin a freelance journalist based in New York. Her general approach to life and her writing is to have hi-low grand adventures. We even based a Summer 2011 trend on the fantastic mood images from her book. She has now launched her website which covers all aspects of Gypset life.

From her favourite looks from the Resort collections to brilliant holiday suggestions. Head to Dar Beida in Essaouira, Morocco for a taste of Gypset fusion décor or find amazing holiday rentals in Todos Santos, Mexico.

Here are Julia’s Gypset holiday rules!!
1) Hangs out in places that are hard to reach: preferably more than three hours from a major airport; down dirt road.

2) Mansions or villas are okay if they belong to someone else or are seriously run down.

3) Never wears clothes with visible logos.

4) Montauk not Easthampton; Ibiza not Capri; Venice Beach not Santa Monica etc.

5) Doesn’t mind falling asleep with salty hair.

6) Drinks Aguardiente not Cristal.

7) Likes Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush”.

8) Doesn’t ask your last name.

9) Surfs/snowboards; if plays golf it’s on a natural green in Scotland not a desert resort in Mexico.

10) G5’s bad. Cessna’s good.
