"My husband’s Christmas Day Porchetta with all the trimmings from Jamie Oliver’s Christmas book has become a much-loved tradition—it’s the most mouthwatering meal, and I look forward to it every year. I love that it always has a touch of Italy in it, no matter where I am in the world."
"I’ve been burning Christmas candles on repeat since December 1st. So far, my favourites have been Penhaligon’s x and Diptyque x , but I have to say John Lewis’s Winter Spice candle was a fantastic surprise—and at only £10, I’ve been happily using it without holding back."
"I’ve also been admiring my doorway garland, which I decorated with VV Ruleaux striped bows, eucalyptus, and fairy lights. It was such a fun project! Next year, I’m planning to do it again with pink and red bows for a fresh twist."

"For New Year’s Eve drinks and dinner, I’m hosting a small gathering at home—but that doesn’t mean I’m not going the extra mile. I’m particularly excited about the Bamford Daylesford? cocktail napkins, which are so chic, and the ready-made cocktail mixtures, which are both delicious and convenient to pour."
"On Jan 1st I’m looking forward to Adriene’s 7 day mini-yoga series. It’s not the usual 30 days but I’m still looking forward to starting the year with my favourite teacher and practice."
"Finally, I’ve been going on my first walks in the park with Gigi. I told myself I’d only pick up number twos with the help of Anya Hindmarch’s super-chic doggy key charm—which I self-gifted this year."
"I’ve tried so many bath oils and always return to this one. What I love about it is that you actually apply it to your body so the minerals absorb, then you step into the shower or glide into your bath and the smell is absolutely heavenly."
“These thick rubber soled ankle boots will be perfect for park walks with my little Gigi.”
