Wearing… July Child x Alanna Nicole

As someone who spends every day staring at my hands labouring over a keyboard, I at least need them to look cute—and when it comes to rings, the more outrageous, the better. If you, like me, are still clutching tightly to the pink-bowed, colour-drenched tastes of the noughties (is that classed as vintage now?) then you will likely have heard of July Child—the nostalgic home of all things sparkly. In its latest collaboration with Alanna Nicole, it’s serving up vibrant florals, colour-clashing squiggles and enough opal to glow in the dark. If they don’t sell out soon, expect to see me with one on every finger. *Back to cart*.

Watching… Olivia Attwood’s Bad Boyfriends

I can’t afford therapy, but tuning into ITVX at 9PM every night is pretty much cutting it right now. In Olivia Attwood’s new reality show, fed-up girlfriends send their boys behaving badly on a lads holiday they’ll never forget. Under false pretences that they are heading to a Greek island to film a TV series called Brotopia, their girlfriends go undercover to expose them for what they really are. I’d never call myself a masochist, but watching men receive electric shocks and cry over hot wings sounds like my kind of entertainment. Also highly recommend watching with a partner…I’ve never been treated so well.

Tuning into… Kylian Mbappé x Loewe We.HEAR Pro

Brat Summer might be over, but if you’re thinking of making space in your living room for one more piece of neon-green memorabilia, it’s gotta be this one. Luxury AV brand Loewe teamed up with world-class footballer Kylian Mbappé earlier this summer to release a limited edition speaker, the We.HEAR Pro, and well… they scored. Think live-concert energy and intensity, all in the comfort of your home. With unbeatable battery life (24 hours!), sleek design, waterproof resistance, and acoustic perfection, it’s a must-have if you’re planning to elevate your house party game this fall. Thank me later!

Obsessing over… Carbone, Balmain Beauty

I have to admit, I always thought of myself as a one-fragrance kinda girl. I’ve lectured friends who change scents by the hour and rolled my eyes when they wanted to borrow my perfume. That was until I got my hands on Balmain Beauty’s latest launch from their brand-new fragrance collection, Les Éternels. Paying homage to Balmain’s Parisian roots, Olivier Rousteing unveiled eight fragrances — and one of them completely took my breath away. Carbone is a signature scent: bold, sexy, powerful — a maximalist musk that doesn’t go unnoticed. To the girl who chased me down on the Central line a month ago to ask which perfume I was wearing — this one’s for you!

Getting flushed with… Pocket Blush, Rhode

Yes, I’m happy to report that this TikTok obsession is worth the hype, and Mrs. Bieber has done it again. Rhode Beauty’s newest launch is a buttery, dewy, and incredibly easy-to-wear formula that glides on the skin like a dream and lasts all day. “Juice Box” has been a staple in my makeup kit for a month now, and it’s the one blush I’ll be taking with me on my end-of-summer holidays. And the best news? They’ve just expanded their colour range, adding more saturated tones for darker skin tones.

Using… The Fender Mustang Micro Plus

You know what the most annoying thing about amps is? Well, people that talk about them. BUT the second most annoying thing is their size. Who am I to be lugging around a massive piece of kit when I’m trying to look cool? Fender have sorted me out though, with the new Mustang Micro Plus, the perfect pocket-size piece of equipment that means I can keep lying to myself about how people see me AND be comfortable. 100 editable presets? 25 amp and effect models? Onboard tuner? What a dream.

Reading… deckades

The world’s leading brand for professional DJ equipment, Pioneer DJ, an AlphaTheta brand, has excitingly launched its a unique, limited-edition fanzine. Entitled ‘deckades’, the magazine celebrates the 30th anniversary of the first-ever CDJ and is available both digitally and in print. With brilliant stories, interviews and imagery aplenty, it’s a must-read for DJ enthusiasts and electronic music fans.

Eating… Dinner for 100
I’m currently obsessed with getting pizza from Dinner 4 100. Situated next to telegraph hill, Dinner for One Hundred makes the yummiest pizza to enjoy in telegraph hill or to order in the next day after a long night out. They’ve recently opened a restaurant/ bar in nunhead which was an amazing cozy, laidback experience when we went. On their instagram you can find all the fun events they host at the bar. From DJs spinning vintage vinyls to singles nights to massive dinner parties, dinner for one hundred has built more than just a restaurant, they are building a community in southeast london. I would definitely recommend getting the MacGyver with their truffle aioli!

Using… Erborian CC Red Correct

This is my newest tried and true go-to beauty product. This cc cream offers natural and dewy minimal coverage providing the lusted after and tricky to achieve no-makeup-make-up look, its sunscreen provides skin friendly protection and its subtle color correction zaps away all my natural redness. I have a mini that I take with me on nights out to cover the wine drunk blush. As someone with freckles that they still want to flaunt and a deep love for wine this product is my everything.
