COS | Rounded Wool V-Neck Jumper
After lusting over a particular pastel yellow half-zip knit from Phoebe Philo for some time, I’m glad to be diverting my attention to this gorgeous alternative. It scratches the butter-yellow sweater itch without breaking the bank. The slightly sculptural shape really appeals, and it will transition beautifully into spring. I also love how COS have styled it here with dark brown.

BAINA | Essential Bathroom Set
We’re about to start work on our middle-floor bathroom and have some decisions to make on finishes, and I’m definitely feeling a brown vibe. This towel set from BAINA would be perfect for the space. Plus, great towels are such an easy way to elevate your routine.
This week, paid subscribers received The Power of Power Dressing, where I explore why this Rodebjer suit feels so special and why it’s become such a meaningful piece in my wardrobe.

Phoebe Philo | Pebble Duo Pendant
I don’t often wear necklaces, and if I do, it’s usually in the summer, but there’s just something about this one. Maybe it’s because it’s not your usual necklace style, or because the sculptural, pebble-like design feels so tactile. The black cord gives it a more casual, everyday feel, too. It caught my eye when it first launched last year, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since, so maybe it’s time I finally treated myself…

Sarah Chapman | Intense Hydrating Booster
One of my favourite skincare products at this time of year. I really struggle with dryness in winter, and this is one I consistently come back to when my skin needs extra hydration and support. Lightweight and silky, it’s the serum I reach for when my skin feels compromised. It helps to hydrate, plump and strengthen the skin, and I visibly notice a dewy glow after use. Definitely a case of “it really does what it says on the tin.”
I recently had a bespoke facial at the Sarah Chapman Skinesis Clinic (something I always book in January to revive my dry winter skin), and I’d highly recommend it if you’re looking for a facial that genuinely feels worth the spend.

Artwork | Aline Gaiad
Our home renovation has been a long process, and while there’s still a way to go, I’m starting to feel the urge to get some lovely art up on the walls. I’ve been doing lots of research (more to share on that soon), but one artist whose work I hope to hang in our home is London-based artist Aline Gaiad.
Raised in Rio de Janeiro, her work has a vivid use of colour, alongside the rich textures and patterns that feature throughout so much of it. I know I’d feel an instant sense of joy walking into a room with one of her paintings in it.
You can also see Aline’s passion for interiors just by visiting her Instagram — it’s so nice to be able to visualise her work in situ.
Until next time,
