The little luxuries I’d be very happy to unwrap. Beautiful everyday pieces, a few playful details and gifts that feel personal: think cherry red, butter yellow, polished black and lovely textures. A mix of small treats, thoughtful upgrades and a few wish-list splurges for the stylish friend, the home lover or yourself. US shopping links throughout.

I’m all for fast fashion but wouldn’t it be lovely to buy items we can layer and enhance with good styling? Some of these are investment pieces and some are just must-haves!

A curated edit of the red pieces I’m loving for fall. Think cherry, crimson and oxblood across knitwear, coats, shoes, bags and accessories. I wanted this list to feel elevated and wearable, with a mix of familiar brands and quieter finds that make an outfit feel a little more interesting. These are the pieces I’d use to add colour to an otherwise neutral fall wardrobe without overdoing it.

I keep coming back to butter yellow, so I’m saving all my favourite pieces here. A little wish list of clothes, shoes and accessories I’d love to wear.

I’m always drawn to the little details that make a home feel more personal. These are the decorative wall hooks and cabinet knobs I’d pick to give a plain dresser, kitchen cupboard, or entryway a little more character. Think handmade ceramics, sculptural wood, warm brass, and a few playful pops of colour.

Fall decor options can feel stuffy and not elevated. Here’s my refined list for small items that can do wonders!

I love the South of France and visit at least twice a year. Here is my curated edit of beautiful places to stay along the Côte d’Azur, without defaulting to the obvious palace hotels. Think smaller boutique stays, hidden gems, sea views, historic houses and design-led hotels across Èze, Nice, Antibes, Cannes, Mougins, Menton and the Saint-Tropez area. Some are more elevated, some are surprisingly reasonable, but every one has something that makes it worth saving. This is the French Riviera for people who want somewhere special, stylish and full of character.

This isn’t your typical list of big beach resorts. Think old-town boutique hotels, sea-view stays and countryside escapes along the Costa del Sol and just inland. A mix of price points, from smaller finds to luxury stays worth saving for, all chosen for their interiors, character and setting.

An edit of 20 smaller Paris hotels I’d save for their interiors, character and neighbourhoods. Think hidden gardens, beautiful old townhouses, little Left Bank addresses and bedrooms worth planning a weekend around. Some are relaxed and full of charm, others are proper special-occasion stays. All have something that makes them feel personal.
