“I'm like a moth to the flame for Dutch dressing, and Rohé’s elegant silhouettes and abstract proportions make me feel infinitely strong and feminine.”
“This will change everything you think you know about eye cream. The ultimate skin-transformer – brightening, cooling, and smoothing, in the area we need it most.”
“An unexpected evolution of being in my forties is the tacit commitment to investing in classic, long-life pieces that are trend-agnostic, and remain a beloved part of my wardrobe for years. This boat-neck Tove piece is one such purchase, and I’ve worn it endlessly since.”
“Where it all began. Having spent almost two decades reporting on the latest skincare, and always feeling a bit ‘blah’ about the result, I decided to craft my own. Highly potent, sumptuous to use, and inherently skin-compatible, Active Recovery Broth has completely transformed my skin.”
“A ‘’mannish’ shoe is, to me, a wholly elegant way to dress day-to-day at work, now that we’ve all mercifully given up the pretence of putting a heel on in the office. These are comfortable and boat-like, and I love them.”
“I’m of the mind that there is no afternoon that can't be bettered by lighting a beautiful candle nearby. This is a sophisticated blend of vetiver, citrus and tomato leaves. Kitchen-y and divine.”
“A beautifully thick and fluffy robe can make most founder battles seem all the more surmountable. And they don’t come much better than Baina’s chequerboard confection.”
“With a super-fine oil texture, this drapes my skin in a satin-like, softly-scented veil. Like bathing in tuberose petals, just as Cleopatra would have wanted.”
“I adore this brand – which, like REOME, utilises novel biotech ingredients to protect over-harvested lands, like plant-derived musk. This is sweet and salty, and utterly addictive.”
“Unmistakably elegant, insouciant, and of course, channelling a lot of Parisian energy – worn slung over shoulders, with heels and 20 Denier stockings.”
“Pure nostalgia; a brick of a soap bar, gentle enough for everyday bathing and a hit with my 7-year old daughter, who believes soap in a bar is a new-fangled thing. I don’t have the heart to tell her otherwise.”
“Hot on the heels of our limited-edition festive kit, Skin Ceremony Set – which has sold out two years in a row – we’re launching this as a permanent discovery set, housing all four of our award-winning skin formulas, in one box.”
