This week’s edit is a mix of everyday staples, new-season leather and a few insider finds on my radar.
Supima Cotton Tees
I’ve stocked up on these Supima Cotton Tees from Zara and know I’ll be living in them all autumn and winter. They’re the kind of piece that works with everything: jeans and loafers for a low-effort everyday look, layered under a jacket, or slipped beneath knitwear. The fabric is soft on the skin and just a little sheer, which makes them feel more intentional than a regular basic. If you’re like me and crave comfort without looking lazy, you’ll end up reaching for them on repeat. H&M also have a good version I wear year-round.
The Casual Clog
These Rothy’s Clogs have quietly become a summer staple for me. Think chic slippers you can actually wear out. I picked them up from Liberty last year and lately they’ve been on heavy rotation. They strike that sweet spot between polished and easy. Cooler than an Ugg or Birkenstock, but just as throw-on when you’re heading out the door. I’ve been wearing mine with wide-leg trousers, slouchy denim and even to pilates, and they somehow always feel pulled together.
Zoë Kravitz Press Tour Style
You didn’t think I’d get through a week without mentioning her, did you? The June Issue (An Ode To My Summer Style Muse) was one of my most-read posts, and Zoë’s recent press tour has only confirmed why. The movie reviews may be mixed, but her outfits didn’t miss once. Styled by Danielle Goldberg, she moved from broderie anglaise with ballet flats, to a lace-trim mini with strappy sandals, to the simplest black silk skirt, vest and peep-toe mules. A little 90s, totally effortless, and unmistakably Zoë.

Bridal, Minus the Wedding
This has been the summer of the cream satin maxi. Rixo’s Amari Satin Gown and Simone Embroidered Maxi (both from their bridal line) are perfect examples, and bridal collections are often the best place to find these simple, 30s-inspired styles. After the sell-out Doên Coralie Dress and the buzz around Rixo’s Clarice, it’s clear the style set are embracing non-wedding bridal. If white or cream isn’t your thing, Rixo’s black silk Ilaria Dress is just as effortless. For something more authentic, head to Portobello on a Friday. Turner Vintage always has the best finds.
AD at Home
Most of my Instagram saves are Architectural Digest homes, so I love that editor-in-chief Amy Astley has pulled her favourites from the past decade into one very chic coffee table book, AD at Home. Pre-order it here for your most design-conscious friends.
Monogrammed Makeup Bags
The chicest waffled washbags for all your essentials. The Millennial Decorator and Abbode both stock them in a range of colours, and I’ve just found Studio Sewn in the UK, who do the coolest monogrammed pieces, from washbags and waffled gowns to cocktail napkins.
New Signature Scent
I’ve been a Le Labo Santal 33 girl for over 13 years, and I love having a signature scent. But when I ran out recently, I borrowed my daughter’s Byredo Bal D’Afrique and I think I’m ready to switch. It’s distinctive without being overpowering, and it lasts on me all day.
Bag Brand to Have on Your Radar
I mentioned Little Liffner in last week’s Em’s Edit, and I’ve already fallen for another of their new-season styles. The Suede Bowling Bag has that vintage-effect finish that only gets better with wear, and it’s big enough to fit a laptop. A true win-win.
The Row Spotify Playlist
I’m prone to procrastination and so easily distracted (who isn’t?). I’ve even been tempted by the Brick. But my latest hack is The Row’s Spotify Playlist. It drifts from The Rolling Stones to Grace Jones. Chilled enough to keep me focused but still with a vibe. Any other tips welcome.
That’s this week’s line-up. For paid subscribers, I’ve added a few extra pieces I’m loving right now, from jewellery to outerwear and the brands to keep on your radar.
