Find something that’s SO YOU!
It’s that time of the year when, like it or not, we have to embrace autumn. In our homes, on our supper tables, on our dressing tables and in our wardrobes, we’ll be ringing the changes and introducing seasonal design touches, ingredients, colours, skincare and clothes. So in this issue, we’re bringing you the latest trends hot off the high street for all areas of your life, plus advice on how to make them work for you. Flick through these pages and I promise you’ll find something that’s so you! Whether it’s new cushions and lamps for your living room, delicious recipes for dinner (and note, all the ones we’re bringing you cost less than £5 for four people – bonus!), a fresh make-up idea or a new outfit, you’ll find just the thing (and probably lots of them!) to fit into your life. And don’t for one minute think that finding nice buys and ideas is just froth! As our cover star, Caroline Catz, so aptly puts it when talking about her passion for fashion: ‘Enjoying clothes and dressing up may seem frivolous, but it taps into humour and playfulness, which gives the world a sense of hope. There’s nothing frivolous about that.’ Hear, hear! As a confirmed Doc Martin superfan, it was great to meet Caroline, who shares her thoughts on everything from clothes and music – David Bowie being a particular icon – to Cornwall and Martin Clunes. I do think you’ll really love getting to know her and receiving a little taster of the new series. I also hope you’ll enjoy all the extras we’re bringing you in this issue, including savings on some brilliant brands to help make your money go further. Personally, I can’t wait to try one of the new Elemis Biotec facials – and I sincerely hope I’ll be looking years younger next month!
