1. The Muse

Elsa Peretti and Bianca Jagger – like them, I’m drawn to pieces that balance sculptural form with organic simplicity. Bianca’s take on tailoring was masterful and I’m also channelling a bit of 70s glamour at the moment – think Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface, all silky slips, cut-outs and sharp bobs. Effortless, sexy and just the right amount of undone.

2. The Brands 

Grace Ling is redefining modern fashion with her sculptural silhouettes and digital design – her work is so innovative. I also love Harper Collective, a sustainable luggage brand that turns ocean waste into beautifully designed, minimalist suitcases. They're proving that conscious travel can still be chic.

3. The Colour 

Rich cherry red is having a moment for me – it feels bold but still elevated. Whether it’s in beauty, interiors or fashion, it always adds the right amount of drama but never feels overpowering.

4. The Silhouette

I’m very into minimal silhouettes with statement jewellery – I love that quiet-but-impactful contrast. Lately I’ve been revisiting low-rise, wide-leg trousers too; they feel cool, relaxed and effortless. 

5. The Campaign

The Gentle Monster x Bratz collaboration is unexpected but so brilliant. They combined Y2K nostalgia with a futuristic edge and the whole activation was completely immersive. A perfect example of fashion as fantasy.

6. The Post

I’m at the stables with my daughters almost every day, so I’m trying to elevate my barn mum looks – classic Americana meets practicality, with a bit of polish courtesy of Ralph Lauren.

7. The Wish List

A vintage Cartier Tank watch, an Elsa Peretti cuff, Alaïa’s 90s fishnet patent pumps in burgundy and two pieces from Jil Sander – the bamboo leather tote and asymmetric ballet flats. All of these pieces are timeless with a twist.

8. The Recent Buy

The Loewe Flamenco clutch in chocolate and moss – the colour combo is stunning – and a pair of Gianvito Rossi suede raffia thong heels. They’re easy, elegant and perfect for summer evenings.

9. The Summer Find

I’ve recently discovered the linen pieces from Enza Costa – especially the trousers and open tanks. The cuts are clean and the fabric is beautifully breathable, making them perfect for hot days when you still need some polish.

10. The Affordable Hero

The Frankie Shop’s Soft Harper tee is oversized, ultra-soft and one of the best wardrobe basics I’ve found. I have it in multiple colours because it goes with everything.

11. The Jewellery Favourites

Every day I wear my Bulgari Serpenti watch and rings, and I layer them with my Chanel Coco Crush pieces. I also love bold accessories brands like Julietta – its statement pieces are so much fun to play with and add personality to any look.

12. The Everyday Combo

Wide-leg black trousers, a knit tank, lots of jewellery, Margiela Tabi flats and, if it’s cold, an oversized trench and a cap. It’s my failsafe uniform.

13. The Holiday Outfit

A bikini from Tropic of C or Hunza G, a wrap skirt or linen bottoms and a breezy backless top is my go-to holiday look. Jacquemus is a no-brainer for statement pieces, while St. Agni does effortless minimalism so well. One-piece dressing the way to make holiday style that transitions from day to night easy.

14. The Evening Look

You can’t go wrong with a low-back dress or top with a miniskirt and a strappy thong heel at night. I love a silhouette that’s simple but still makes a subtle statement.

15. The Shoe 

My Gianvito Rossi thong heels work with everything and instantly make any outfit feel a bit more polished. I reach for them constantly.

16. The Trend

Wide-leg trousers make every look feel cooler and more elevated, with zero effort. In my book, it’s hardly a trend, more a staple now.

17. The Hero

The Vieve Skin Nova primer gives my complexion the perfect glow. I also love the Hourglass Glow Foundation with SPF and I swear by my Medicube device – it’s helped with every skin concern I’ve had. Elemis’s Pro-Collagen Day Cream with SPF is another favourite – it melts into my skin while giving me the protection I need during the day.

18. The Scent

Phlur’s ‘Father Figure’ is my everyday power scent. I love layering ‘Missing Person’ with ‘Soft Spot’ too – fragrance is about embodying how you want to feel. For evening, I’ll go for ‘Golden Rule’, ‘Rose Whip’ or ‘Vanilla Skin’ depending on the mood. It’s my way of setting the tone for the moment.

19. The Make-Up 

The Haus Labs concealer is amazing for brightening and the Summer Fridays blush gives me the perfect healthy flush – oh, and the Hourglass Volumising Gloss is always in my bag. All three make me feel pulled together in under five minutes.

20. The Follow

@KatieJaneHughes is my favourite person to follow for make-up tips that feel wearable yet aspirational. @SniffWithSteph is also amazing for discovering new scents – she really gets the emotional side of fragrance.

21. The Upgrade

I visit my skin clinic every six months for Rejuran Healer injections and laser treatments like Pico and Ulthera. These have been game changers for tone and firmness. Fitness-wise, Pilates and HIIT have made a real difference to my strength and shape – I feel so much more energised.

22. The Treatment

Facials with Shani Darden are something else – she’s the best for a total skin reset and glow-up. No one makes me feel as instantly refreshed.

23. The Repeat Trip

I’d love to go back to Africa for another safari – Kenya was life changing and it gave me a completely new perspective. That landscape is like nowhere else.

24. The Dream Hotel

Aman Kyoto is at the top of my dream list – serene, thoughtful design in one of my favourite places in the world. It looks like the ultimate reset.

25. The In-Flight Essentials

You’ll always find my Medicube collagen wrap mask, a hydrating face mist (I love Tatcha’s Dewy Skin Mist), and a few of my Phlur minis – usually ‘Missing Person’ and ‘Father Figure’ in my carry-on. They keep me hydrated and grounded mid-air.

26. The Next Destination

We’re off to Costa Rica as a family soon, then I’ve got a whirlwind world tour for work – Australia, Hong Kong, New York, Dubai, London, Milan and Paris all in four weeks. It’s going to be intense but exciting.

27. The Restaurant 

Cocochine in London – by chef Larry – is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Every dish is memorable.

28. The At-Home Favourite

For breakfast, I love coconut yoghurt with fruit and granola. Lunch is usually a spicy tofu, couscous and mushroom bowl, and dinner is often Korean soup. We also make a dairy-free chocolate avocado mousse that’s so good – and a homemade, yeast-free gluten-free pizza we’re obsessed with. Cooking is a big part of our family rhythm.

29. The Coffee Spot

Offset or Sunlife in LA are my go-tos. In London, I’m always at Blank Street for a matcha – it’s the perfect little ritual.

30. The Guilty Pleasure

Definitely anything sweet – we make lots of sweet and savoury crepes at home. It’s indulgent but also a fun way to wind down.

31. The Book

I Regret Almost Everything by Keith McNally – it’s a raw, honest memoir from the restaurateur behind some of New York’s most iconic spots. His voice is so candid, it’s almost like a conversation.

32. The Podcast 

Fashion Neurosis by Bella Freud – I love her exploration of how fashion connects to identity and emotion. It’s stylish and smart.

33. The Binge-Watch

Solo Travelling – Tracee Ellis Ross’s new documentary series. It’s inspiring, beautifully shot and taps into something really timely.

34. The Playlist 

I’ve been playing the F1: The Movie soundtrack on repeat – such a good mix of high-energy, cinematic tracks. Perfect for everything from working to driving.
