MY LIST OF EVERYTHING
Singer Estelle’s favourite things
MY CAN’T-MISS PODCAST IS…
It’s not a podcast but… my Apple Music show! It’s live five days a week and I get to share all the playlists I’ve made over the years, which include everything from reggae to salsa music. It’s great fun. MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS…
Anything by TLB (The Lip Bar). They do great matte stay-on lipsticks that seem to last for ever. MY FAVOURITE INDEPENDENT BRAND IS…
Nichole Lynel. Every now and then I’ll come across something unexpected on her website, such as a gorgeous kimono. MY FOODIE WEAKNESS IS…
Cadbury chocolate shipped over from the UK. Honestly, the American version doesn’t taste the same! WHEN I SEND FLOWERS, I CALL… Empty Vase in LA does the most incredible arrangements. MY ONE-STOP MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS…
Hilltop Coffee + Kitchen in Inglewood. It does a good cappuccino and great breakfast, too. ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD… Butter, but not the low-fat, unsalted stuff. Give me some really nice Irish butter. MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES IS…
My first pair of Jimmy Choos from Harvey Nichols. They’re green with crystals on the front and I’m never getting rid of them, ever. MY SIGNATURE SCENT IS… Byredo Rose Noir. I discovered it recently and I love it. THE SHADE I ALWAYS PAINT MY NAILS IS…
I tend to go a little crazy, but purple is probably the most consistent colour. I like a gel by OPI or Essie. THE BOOK I KEEP ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE IS… All About Love
There’s always a Bible, and by Bell Hooks. I use the latter as a personal reference book whenever I’m having a hard thought. THE BOXSET I REWATCH OVER AND OVER IS… There’s too many! I go from Living Single to Sex And The City to A Different World. THE ALBUM I’LL NEVER GROW TIRED OF IS… D’angelo’s second album, Voodoo. Any time, any place, anywhere, it just fits the mood. MY BEST EVER HOLIDAY WAS…
A solo trip to Mexico. I had no plans and I did absolutely nothing. It was great. THE THING I CAN’T STOP BUYING FOR MY HOME IS… Furnishings. I’ve just moved and I want it to feel like a plush living space, but everything I thought I wanted in my home now looks like clutter! THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS… Do I Do.
Stevie Wonder’s I feel like he was happy singing that song and it fills my soul. MY FOOLPROOF DINNER PARTY DISH IS… Jerk snapper. I use my mum’s recipe and it’s what my friends ask for. THE MANTRA I LIVE BY IS…
I am. I think everything you want to do in life stems from what you believe yourself to be, whether it’s brave, strong or something else. Listen to The Estelle Show on Apple Music Hits
