Hi,

It’s a new season, and I’m feeling inspired. Unlike my sister, who is a true sunshine girl, I love the end of summer, when you can feel autumn in the air. I much prefer winter clothing — the tailoring, rich colours, cashmere, wool and leather. All of the new collections are emerging, and I’m loving what’s out there — especially the fact that Dries Van Noten seems to be having a moment. I have always loved their work — brocade, jacquard, embellishment… it all feels so relevant right now.

We have released our new Mythos styles, adding bracelets and earrings to our bestselling Mythos offerings. The Love Talisman Earrings in Amber are proving to be my most-worn pieces so far this September. The colour is perfect for autumn.

Our new Mythos Earrings in every colour

We are busy getting ready for our new collection - inspired by all things mystical and enchanted. Not long until we launch- and I cannot wait to share it with you. Our new pieces will transition perfectly from the golden colours of Autumn to the glittering party scene of December. I have already been wearing the Carnelian Necklace on repeat, I predict this will be one of the bestsellers from the collection.

At the end of August we went to the Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art exhibition at the V&A in London. We went for inspiration, and boy did it deliver. She was a pioneer and an incredible business woman. Her designs are works of art (I am dreaming of finding a suitably priced vintage piece one day- but after this exhibition- the chances are looking slim). Her collection of perfume bottles, jewellery and buttons were just incredible. I would highly recommend this exhibition for anyone that is inspired by craftsmanship at its finest.

Probably the most beautiful perfume bottle I have ever seen- produced by Schiaparelli in collaboration with Salvatore Dali and Baccarat (I mean.. what a collaboration!)

I had some lovely meals at RH at Aynhoe Park (where we once did a photoshoot before it became RH) over the summer. The food is always amazing here. I also tried the new one that’s just opened in Mayfair, which is just as beautiful — minus the herd of deer outside, though.

We also had a gorgeous meal at Canteen in Chipping Norton — great to try for those who can’t get to the Notting Hill one. The food was so good, especially the chocolate mousse drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt.

Talking of Chocolate mousse- a basin of this was enjoyed at Cafe Janou in Paris while I was there for 2 nights with my daughter and some friends. We went to some fabulous places and had the best time- you can read all about it in my travel Journal- Two nights in Paris.

When I need a chic pair of oversized minimal stud earrings- I always reach for our Coco's 

What I’m reading — I have just finished Who Cooked the Last Supper? by Rosalind Miles — it was incredibly interesting, and I learnt so much about women’s history. It was a great read.

I’m now reading The Honeymoon Effect by Bruce Lipton. He writes about epigenetics in a way that is easy to understand and SO interesting. I read The Biology of Belief a while ago, and it has always stuck with me, so I’ve been meaning to read his other books. Don’t let the title fool you — it’s not a self-help book about love; it’s a book about how our subconscious beliefs affect our lives.

I have just got back from a trip to Forte dei Marmi on the coast of Tuscany. Miles of golden beaches, full of chic beach clubs, with views of the sea on one side and the mountains on the other. Everyone gets around by bike, the shopping is amazing and the people-watching is even better — full of inspiration.

I’ll put together a little guide to where I stayed and what I did soon and add it to our Travel Guides.
