Yessssss can we normalize bringing the bare minimum while travelling for a weekend! Like the most of us are not influencers that have to take pictures with different outfits around the city we travel to and bringing three items to use for 48 hours should not be frowned upon (like seriously….)

Thank you!!!

My anxiety worried about not having enough layers but thankfully the weather was saying nope!

The best saving advice I heard this year was be a proud outfit repeater 😁 so please share more content about clothes that can be paired with lots of different things. About SJP I’m sad that there will not be any more new episodes to watch because I have loved the creativity in her style and that has been inspiring 💖

I'm going to miss AJLT even though I have moaned about how cringe some otlf the script is! I think it's just because SATC was such a big part of my uni days and don't want to see it end.

I have recently finished watching Harlots, which I never watched first time around in ITV but is now on netflix but definitely worth a look if you haven't seen it before x

I met the man who looks after the pelicans in St James’s Park - he told me some brilliant stories, particularly when they decide to go walkabout!

yes to "pieces in multiple ways" !! I love it. Also, may I ask if the sneakers you're wearing the Will Sezane jacket and skirt are Adidas in brown ? I've been seeing them here and there and looooove them. Also, re you're new Breton shirt, am finding it difficult to style oversize pieces bc it's still seen as "non flattering" (try to don't care, but you know how it goes, sometimes, it's easier, sometimes it's not). Also really liking the idea of 'think less" outfits ! Anyway. Thanks, as always, for your writing

Yes Adidas in brown with yellow, I'll be honest they're not the comfiest! Not blister discomfort but I find them quite narrow. I totally get it re: breton top and I even still found myself tucking it into some shorts recently but when it fell untucked, I realised I didn't dislike it, it's all about getting used to wearing it different way and thinking about who you're dressing for. If YOU think it looks better that way, wear it xx

Love the one piece multiple ways to wear section - means there is inspiration for all different outfits/styles/wardrobes etc. also loving the free kids activities content - so useful to have all in one place.

We got a free Prime subscription for a month to watch Keeley Hawes in The Assassin ("a perimenopausal James Bond") - silly but fun.

I thought that The Assassin was really fairly disappointing. I think that a lot of the issue was FH's acting - he was great in The Good Doctor because his character's autism gelled with his mannerisms and middle-distance focusing, but here it’s just a bit odd. The random/constant swearing also seemed a little performative and the whole tone just felt a bit off 🤷🏻‍♀️.

I loved The Gilded Age, have you seen the Bucaneers on Apple? I loved the 90s verson (with samantha morton) but only seen one episode of the reboot - but feels up my street
