Presenter ALICE LEVINE on her favourite things…
Presenter Alice Levine’s favourite things
MY CAN’T-MISS PODCAST IS… The Adam Buxton Podcast. He has great guests like Tash Demetriou and his childhood pal Louis Theroux.
THE CANDLE I LOVE TO LIGHT IS… Everything from Haeckels is lovely and it has a great ethos. Sustainability and protection of the ocean is a big part of its philosophy. At Christmas, it offered a recycling service to turn your tree into a special candle.
MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS… Becca Beach Tint Water Resistant Colour For Cheeks & Lips in Guava or Glossier Generation G in Cake.
MY FAVOURITE INDEPENDENT SHOP IS… Straw in Hackney, London. Emily, the founder, has such a good eye for curating and displaying pieces.
MY FOODIE WEAKNESS IS… The Marmite and spring onion pastry from Pophams bakery.
WHEN I SEND FLOWERS, I CALL… My pals Katie and Terri at Worm. They create incredible installations for shops and designers, but somehow always find time to make a bunch.
MY ONE-STOP MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS… Kaffeine, it’s right by work and I’ve achieved my life goal of being a local and them remembering my order.
ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD… My mum’s allotment jam. She grows everything up there and I always come home laden with fruit and veg.
MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES IS FROM… Adidas: Kill Bill-yellow Oysters
THE BOOK I KEEP ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE IS… Richard Ayoade’s book Ayoade On Top.
THE BOXSET I WATCH OVER AND OVER IS… Broad City. It’s endlessly quotable. It’s a real love letter to New York and makes ordinary encounters seem like the biggest adventure.
MY FAVOURITE HOTEL FOR A WEEKEND AWAY IS… The Rose in Deal. Each room is decorated in a different scheme with beautiful colours and prints. I just love going down there for a few days away.
THE ALBUM I’LL NEVER GROW TIRED OF IS… Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell.
THE SHADE I ALWAYS PAINT MY NAILS IS CALLED… Ferrari Red. It’s on one of those nail swatches you get at the nail bar. It’s very bright and a gel varnish, otherwise I chip it before I’ve even left the shop.
MY BEST HOLIDAY EVER WAS… Going to St Ives between 1990 and 2000. I have such fond memories of those holidays with my family and pals, spending hours digging holes, body boarding and playing in the arcade with our stack of 10ps.
WHEN I WANT TO CRY WITH LAUGHTER, I CALL… My brother.
THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS… Call Me Al by Paul Simon.
MY FOOLPROOF DINNER PARTY DISH IS… If you have great bread and butter and plenty of wine to start with, you can get away with anything.
THE MANTRA I LIVE BY IS… It’s only been on the floor for five seconds.
