Has Me+Em had a secret Goop-tinged glow-up without me realising?
The successful British brand is going from strength to strength, catering for a mid-tier busy working mum customer with a contemporary edge. But stopping by its new-ish Marylebone store, it suddenly felt less ‘Marylebone mom’ and more LA-London luxury-lite-core.
The store itself does a lot of heavy lifting. It’s beautiful; light-filled, spacious and fabulously merchandised. But the product also looks really good. (more…)
OMG OMG it’s actually happening. That rarer-than-rare event. A proper, more-than-one-day sweltering heatwave! In London! This calls for a rethink of my ‘Tods Girl Summer’ wardrobe since the ‘summer knits’ and waterproofs don’t quite fit the 30-degrees-and-rising brief.
Thankfully, the sales are starting, so I’m here to help with a couple of hot-in-the-city pointers. While the multi-brand sites aren’t great for sale purchases – did everyone freak out ahead of the tariffs and panic buy? – there are some good discounts if you persevere. (more…)
A few snippets of digital ephemera and IRL recommendations I’ve enjoyed lately…
1/ The V&A STOREHOUSE experience is as magnificent as everyone has said. It’s free, you can touch stuff, and you can even book an appointment to see archive items of your choice up close.
3/ TED GIOIA’stribute to Brian Wilson is as heartfelt and personal as they come, and explains why his death cut so deep. (P.S I was at this show – unforgettable!)
6/ NIKE’Scollab with Indian designers, NOR BLACK NOR WHITE (top and below) is a bold leap in the right direction. (In other Nike news, the NIKESKIMS launch got pushed back.)

Old Stone Trade’s celebration of handmade work from the American Northeast is tapping into my inner desire for all things slightly rustic and Bruce Weber “All-American Family Album”-flavoured.
In keeping with OST’s ethos of small batch, handmade offerings, there are Oxford cloth cotton button-downs (imagine how good these will look after a few month’s wear), a stunning waxed ‘anorak’ and a cute double-layered white tee reminiscent of my late-80s summer uniform. The khaki kilt may not seem obviously summer weather-appropriate but it’s crafted from a summer-weight deadstock Italian suiting – LOVE!
