Wearing… Steff Eleoff’s “Say My Name” collection
Steff Eleoff has launched her latest collection, “Say My Name”, and it’s positively magnetic. The Toronto-based jewellery designer crafts handmade pieces that reflect organic shapes found in nature. For this collection, she reimagines classic letter pendants in sterling silver.
Since receiving my beautiful “S” pendant necklace, I have rarely taken it off. The perfect addition to any look, it is the perfect combination of a simple staple and a statement piece. Quickly a favourite piece in my jewellery box, I know this one is going to be near and dear to my heart forever.
Listening to… Miya Folick’s ROACH
I had the opportunity to see Miya Folick in concert at the Moth Club last month, and I haven’t been able to turn off her newest album since. Although I already adored the project — particularly tracks “Oh God”, “Nothing to See”, “So Clear”, and “Shortstop” — but seeing Miya’s artistry in person completely solidified the album’s status as one of my favourites of the year. Her powerful vocals reached new heights, soaring to every corner of the glittery venue. Captivating and magnetic, she truly had the audience in the palm of her hand. Since then, “Get Out of My House” has become a top played song on my Spotify account and I’m already looking forward to getting tickets the next time she’s in London.

Using: Kankan’s Neroli, Chamomile and Bergamot Hand Wash
Is it a sign you’re getting old when something like hand wash excites you? To the extent where you publish a piece about it? Probably. Do I care? No.
A friend of mine – who shares the same affinity for sustainability and fancy household items – recently introduced me to Kankan: the skincare brand transforming ordinary cans into an unordinary approach to consumable toiletries.
Originally incepted in 2019, Kankan began with a mission to create sustainable bathrooms. Now entering its second phase of innovation, the brand embraces the power of refilling — partnering with Morrama to design a product that looks as aesthetic and eco-friendly as its contents. Using recycled cans as its base body, the Kankan pump is made-to-fit, allowing its user to alternate between refillable cans again and again — without adding to landfill. With a choice of two enchanting fragrances (Grounded: an aroma cocktail of sweet orange, cedar and vetiver and my personal favourite, Bloom), Kankan caters to every taste: whether that be the customers or the environments.
Wearing… Boiler Room x Umbro
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Boiler Room x Umbro collection earlier this month, and I have been sporting the GK Jersey in Safety Yellow at pretty much any opportunity I can get. This collaboration is on my list of favourite industry partnering’s to date, just because it make so much sense. The celebration of unity through sport and music shines through in this limited apparel line. The pieces effortlessly blend football and festival fashion, reminiscent of the early rave era, through vibrant colours and bold skeletal prints. Each piece reflects the beauty of togetherness in such a sleek way. My friends have already borrowed the jersey countlessly, and I think that just showcases perfectly exactly what this collection is about.
Loving… Dior Rosy Glow Blush
Ok! I admit it. I have gone totally Barbie crazy and my makeup is starting to show it. This month, as we counted down the days until we could all finally see the Barbie Movie, I have gravitated towards anything and everything pink, including in my makeup routine. I picked up the infamous Dior Rosy Glow Blush in the most prettiest-pink, Margot Robb-licious shade – 001 Pink, to be exact. The delicious formula kisses your skin to perfection, and allows you to build up from a natural rosy look to a “Oh, Hi Ken!”, bold and bashful moment. It’s safe to say I am well and truly obsessed with this nostalgic pink product.
