The Luxe List: May
BRAND: Brock Collection
Romantic and feminine, with an un-done edge… This high-end label with a cult-like following is our ultimate inspo for summer occasion wear (we’ve fallen hard for that cherry embroidery).
BOOK: The Lido by Libby Page
Heralded as ‘the next Eleanor Oliphant’, this feel-good novel covers love, loss, ageing, and friendship, and is inspired by the south London lido where the author spent her student years.
FASHION BUY: & Other Stories Scoop Back Swimsuit
We're upgrading our bikinis to one-pieces this season for a flattering, grown-up approach to swimwear. Monochrome styles make an impact whist retaining timeless appeal, and & Other Stories' polka dot design is a steal at just £35.
BEAUTY PRODUCT: Vita Liberata Invisi Foaming Tan Water
We’ve waited for what feels like a lifetime for this genius invention… Finally, a fake tan that won't stain clothes and sheets – no risk of transfer and so fast-drying you can genuinely apply and go.
HOTEL: Beaverbrook
Nestled in the Surrey Hills, this lavish Grade-II-listed hotel has serious charm – think interiors by Susie Atkinson (of Soho House fame) and a Japanese restaurant by ex-Nobu chef Taiji Maruyama.
INFLUENCER: Pamela Tick
DJ, model and all-round NYC cool girl, with the most lust-worthy hair. Follow her for dreamy modern-boho edits – LoveShackFancy, Zimmermann and Free People make plenty of appearances.
MUSIC: LUMP
The new joint project by Laura Marling and Tunng‘s Mike Lindsay, LUMP merges dreamy synths and dusky guitars with Marling’s soaring vocals. The duo’s self-titled debut album lands 1st June.
RESTAURANT: Fodder at Great Guns Social
This Borough Market gem is our new go-to for dinner and drinks. It’s latest pop-up restaurant, Fodder merges fine food and sustainability – think wild ingredients foraged from local hedgerows.
FILM: Beast
After premiering to rave reviews at the Toronto Film Festival last year, Beast is about to hit UK cinemas. An intense psychological thriller, it’s fairy tale romance-meets-gripping murder mystery.
DRINK: Vermouth
Apparently, it's this summer's Aperol Spritz. Just like gin, vermouth’s botanical spirit-based cousin, tastes best teamed with ice and tonic – there’s nothing better on a balmy evening.
ACTIVITY: Shuffleboard
This American dive bar staple has made its way to London, and it's seriously fun – head to The Little Shuffle Club in Shoreditch or Burdock in Finsbury Square to try the game out.
COLLABORATION: Christopher Kane x The Rug Company
Bring a touch of designer Christopher Kane's modern, playful style into your home with his exclusive creations for The Rug Company. We love the Grid Construct rug – a statement piece that brings jewel-toned velvet furniture to life.
