Where I’ve been and of course the “Bucket List”
The discourse around the quiet luxury trend has really taken over the zeitgeist this year, helped of course by that Succession finale everyone couldn’t stop talking about. Besides the endlessly memed insults and sucker punch of an ending, it wasn’t just the show’s lavish filming locations that got us talking; […]
I spend too much time talking about how “old” I am, when, at 38, I’m really not. But girls of a certain late-30s age know that we occupy a unique space in the ageing spectrum — while we’re hardly at death’s door, we’re definitely not young anymore. Some of us […]
For years, I thought cuffing season was fake — something we made up and clung onto each fall as a beacon of hope for the prospect of love (or any kind of romance, really) as we became enveloped by the cold, dark embrace of winter. I even thought traditional women’s […]
There is truly no compliment like being chased down to be asked what perfume you’re wearing (of course, it goes without saying, chased down in a polite, non-scary way). This has happened to me not once, not twice, but three times, and each time with the same perfume: Floral Street’s […]

Let me set the scene: I have a comb in one hand and I’ve been sitting in the same spot on my living room floor for the past five hours. It’s my braid takedown day and call me dramatic but I’m close to crying actual tears. To my estimation, I […]
We may feel like we’ve only just scrubbed the fake Halloween blood stains off, but believe it or not, November is almost at an end and — in the fashion world — that means only one thing: the Black Friday sales. With amazing discounts from some of our favourite brands […]
Welcome to Money Diaries where we are tackling the ever-present taboo that is money. We’re asking real people how they spend their hard-earned money during a seven-day period — and we’re tracking every last penny. This week: “I’m a 29-year-old consultant living in London. Me and my long-term partner broke up earlier […]
I stared at Question 21, my green highlighter hovering over the answers. “He doesn’t check his phone while we’re talking,” read option B, while option D was “He goes out of his way to do something that relieves pressure on me.” I had to pick one that I preferred — […]
