THE CANDLE I LOVE TO LIGHT IS… Anything with geranium or rose.
MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS…
I wear so much at work that I tend not to the rest of the time. I prefer something like the Clinique Chubby Sticks, which are like lip balms.
MY FAVOURITE INDEPENDENT SHOP IS… A bookstore in New York called Mcnally Robinson.
MY FOODIE WEAKNESS IS… Morning pastries. Whether it’s a croissant or a muffin, having one is a tricky habit to break.
MY ONE-STOP MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS… They have excellent coffee all over Nice, but the trick is finding a place that will give you it to take away.
ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD... Butter and honey, but I’m not a big toast eater.
MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES IS FROM… Rag & Bone: slate grey heeled ankle boots that have lasted so long and go with everything.
THE BOOKS I KEEP ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE ARE… Feel Free by Zadie Smith and Calypso by David Sedaris. I have a toddler so I haven’t really read a book in a while.

THE ALBUM I’LL NEVER GROW TIRED OF IS… The self-titled album by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. It’s been on repeat for years.
THE SHADE I ALWAYS PAINT MY NAILS IS CALLED… I always seem to go back to nudes because they last and they go with everything.
MY BEST HOLIDAY EVER WAS… To Cartagena [in Colombia] one Christmas, when my now-husband proposed to me.
THE THING I CAN’T STOP BUYING FOR MY HOME IS… Baskets. I hate clutter, but they can
‘Whatever’s going on, just take a deep breath.’
contain the clutter, and they’re also pretty to look at.
WHEN I WANT TO CRY WITH LAUGHTER, I CALL… Two friends from high school and college.
I know they will always answer.
THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS… Anything by Prince.
MY FOOLPROOF DINNER PARTY DISH IS… Chicken Marbella. You can make a lot of it the night before, then spend more time with guests.
