MY LIST OF EVERYTHING
Model Sabrina Elba’s favourite things
MY CAN’T-MISS PODCAST IS…
Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History . He does an amazing job of breaking down human behaviour through events in history. I always find myself rethinking my world at the end of an episode.
THE CANDLE I LOVE TO LIGHT IS…
Byredo has amazing fragrances. What I love about them most is that my husband, Idris, likes them, too, so we can finally agree on a scent for the house.
MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS…
I’m obsessed with Charlotte Tilbury’s Walk Of No Shame. Her formulas are so creamy and it’s a perfect everyday colour.
MY FAVOURITE INDEPENDENT SHOP IS…
Dark Sugars chocolate shop in Brick Lane makes the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had.
MY ONE-STOP MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS…
I make my lattes at home. I’m a Nespresso fan and the Chiaro Barista Creation is delicious.
ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD…
Peanut butter - sometimes with jam, sometimes honey, sometimes on its own.
MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES IS FROM…
I’m a sneakers girl at heart and a massive Nike Jordan fan. The Jordan 3 Retro White Cement 88s are my go-to.
MY SIGNATURE SCENT IS…
Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s À La Rose. If I’m not wearing that, it will almost always be Good Girl Gone Bad by Kilian. Both scents make me feel sexy, but fresh.
THE SHADE I ALWAYS PAINT MY NAILS IS…
I’m stuck on white toes and nude nails at the moment.
THE BOOK I KEEP ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE IS…
Right now, it’s Queenie by Candice Carty-williams.
THE BOXSET I REWATCH OVER AND OVER IS… Star Trek: Voyager.
I have the fondest memories of watching it on TV with my dad when I was young.
THE ALBUM I’LL NEVER TIRE OF IS…
The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill, and Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange. Two amazing works by two amazing artists.
THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS…
Anything by Rihanna.
MY BEST EVER HOLIDAY WAS…
My bachelorette in Utah with my girls. It was three years after I moved from home and being reunited with them all again is one of my happiest memories.
WHEN I WANT TO CRY WITH LAUGHTER, I CALL…
My husband! I know he’s easy on the eyes, but it was his sense of humour I fell in love with.
MY FOOLPROOF DINNER PARTY DISH IS…
I’m convinced I make the best lasagne ever. The recipe is vegetarian and it’s passed down from my mother.
THE MANTRA I LIVE BY IS…
Try everything!
