ON REPEAT...
Forget the trends, fashion week is where I find my seasonal playlist.
As LFW kicks off this month, it’s my opportunity to hear some of the best new music first and pretend that I have my finger on the pulse. Until the shows kick off on the 17th September, I shall continue to be addicted to CharliXCX’s ‘Card Declined’.
‘Let's go shopping
I'll buy a handbag
I'll buy some shoes
I'll buy a smile’
Sounds pretty good to me. Other than the card declined bit…
ON REPEAT...
Did you see that clip of Björk DJing the Venice Biennale in a fiberglass Bottega Veneta dress and an enormous alien-empress hat by CSM graduate and Dior couture junior designer Myah Hasbany? The internet understandably focused on the look, but my ears immediately zoomed in on the soundtrack: she played “On Ur Time” by Natanya and was fully singing along. Casual.
I’ve had the song on an honestly concerning loop ever since. Natanya makes the kind of music engineered specifically for walking around at night pretending you’re in a music video. She’s already been co-signed by SZA, Tyler, The Creator, and Doechii, opened for PinkPantheress, and somehow still feels like a secret you’re meant to gatekeep (whoops). Her newer track “DON’T ASK!” is another immediate brainworm currently eating through my frontal lobe.
THE SCENE...
Who knew that Temple would ever become the go-to destination? And yet, thanks to 180 The Thames, I often find myself there, surrounded by London’s hottest. Picking up my weekly groceries at Corner Shop, thrilled to be drinking a cocktail at Bobbi’s Bar, while waiting for Florence Knight’s new restaurant to open upstairs.
THE SCENE...
Hausu in Peckham is the kind of place where dinner quietly turns into 5 more drinks and suddenly it’s midnight. Right by Peckham Rye station, it’s one of those rare spots that makes you want to cancel whatever plans you had after.
Downstairs, there’s smoky Asian-influenced small plates and the sort of low lighting that makes everyone look hotter. Upstairs is the real trap: a velvet-draped listening bar pouring dangerously good cocktails while jazz and post-punk crackle through the speakers (the music is seriously good). Two salted tomato martinis in, the whole place starts to feel like a lost David Lynch location scout. Lit.
GATEKEEPING...
Recently a friend with the best arms I have ever seen, introduced me to the new love of my life, Melissa Wood Tepperberg and her app MWH - I am addicted to her spicy workouts. Every day with no excuses, I wrap on my ankle weights, pick up my dumbbells, and dream of achieving my friend’s arms. I hope one day, someone will be dreaming of mine.
GATEKEEPING...
The Wallace Collection might be my favourite place in London. Hidden behind Oxford Circus in a mansion stuffed to the brim with rococo paintings, armour, and impossibly ornate furniture, it feels totally detached from the rest of the city. Vivienne Westwood loved it too—once calling it “the greatest art school in this country,” and you can feel its influence all over her work: corsets, decadence, aristocratic chaos, the general refusal to be understated.
I love museums that still feel intimate and slightly eccentric rather than engineered for TikTok. You can drift through rooms full of Fragonard and gold filigree for hours, then end up in the courtyard café feeling like a disgraced noble avoiding all administrative duties. Love.

love to see how clever people are on the internet, watching great ideas come to life. I spend as much time as necessary enjoying the @becauseofmarketing Friday posts: ‘Campaigns that Happened This Week.’ It is full of clever people being brilliant and inspiring, which is what the internet should be for.
MOOD BOARD MUSE...
David Lynch’s neo-noir cult classic, Blue Velvet turns 40 this month, which calls for a celebration of all things Isabella Rossellini.
Her style & collection of dresses makes an excellent case for backcombing your hair, dressing up in sequins, halter necks and blue velvet. Once you’ve revisited this dark masterpiece, you’ll be searching for blue eyeshadow and the perfect glossy red lipstick & nail combo.

After cultivation, the stems, veins, and unwanted particles are removed, leaving only the purest flesh of the leaves. The leaves are now called Tencha.
