However much I was looking forward to a break over the holidays, a part of me wasn’t ready to press pause. I suppose it’s a blessing, as there is no better feeling than loving what you do. But I know regaining that momentum can be a difficult transition. Although a happy time, the festive period can strike one as chaotic. It almost seems contradictory to expect a fresh and envigorated start to the year. (if you missed my take on New Year resolutions read my Reset Guide HERE for some food for thought.) 

So, we made some changes - Ready for us in 2024. Relaunching our website during December was the perfect moment for us to reevaluate our offerings and gave us an opportunity for a much-needed rebrand. As the saying goes…

You don’t have to wait until you are perfect to start something good

(There is a lesson in there somewhere)

This year we aim to bring you even more content with fresh articles going live on our website every month. As you are part of our newsletter subscription; our articles will reach you first. Early access means you're the first to hear about new launches, trends and styling edits (we know how temperamental stock can be).

Collaboration is key for our function and this month we have some amazing contributors joining us. I am always in awe at the generosity of our contributor writers and the role they have in helping create our community. Keep a close eye on our socials for updates! 

So, I will leave you all here with my top picks for this month and thank you again for joining us in 2024.

EDITORS PICKS

Jo Malone

English pear & Sweet Pea Cologne, 30ml - £55.00 / 100ml £118.00 - BUY

What’s better than a new scent to start a new year? A beautiful fragrance: clean, fresh and sweet with great projection and the limited edition bottle is a bonus!

Arket

Stoneware Cups, Pink, Set of 2 - £19.00 - BUY

Arket homeware always speaks to me. Somehow a latte tastes better in a good coup. If pink isn’t your thing; sign up for a restock notification for the black variation.

Arket

Blanket Stitch Wool Jacket - £129.00 - BUY

A Toteme-inspired piece, this 100% wool jacket is stunning. In hopes of this trickling into the sale, I will be keeping a close eye on it. Let’s hope we can get it with a discount.

Laneige

Lip Sleeping Mask, Berry, 20g - £21.00 - BUY

I received this in my Secret Santa gift box (thanks Jan) and its now become a go-to. I basically carry this everywhere with me. The scent is subtle and the formula works. Used as a mask to nourish the lips during the night and is great paired with lip liner for a layer of protection during these cold days out and about.
