MY LIST OF EVERYTHING
Singer Jessie Ware on her favourite things
MY CAN’T-MISS PODCAST IS…
The High Low with Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes. I feel in touch with the world and culture again after listening to it. THE CANDLE I LOVE TO LIGHT IS… Diptyque Tubéreuse or Le Labo Laurier 62.
MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS…
MAC’S Matte Taupe for every day with Spice lip pencil, or, for a night-out red, the Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment in Under My Thumb. MY FAVOURITE INDEPENDENT SHOP IS… Hub in Stoke Newington. There’s always something dreamy in there.
MY FOODIE WEAKNESS IS…
a tasting menu if I’m being a proper foodie, or cream on ice cream if I’m feeling sorry for myself. MY MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS… Esters in Stoke Newington – the best neighbourhood spot. ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD… butter and Marmite or some peanut butter and grated cheese.
MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES ARE FROM…
Manolo Blahnik – I can’t wear heels really, but with Manolos I can keep them on for ever. I understand Carrie Bradshaw’s obsession!
THE BOOK ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE IS…
Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin, but I make sure Spiritual Midwifery by Ina May Gaskin is close by in case I get a pang of fear about giving birth again. THE BOXSET I REWATCH IS… I could always rewatch Sex And The City, however my latest obsession is Gilmore Girls, how have I only just discovered it?
MY FAVOURITE HOTEL FOR A WEEKEND AWAY IS…
I’m so excited to try Heckfield Place in Hampshire next year, the spa looks beautiful and the food is by the amazing Skye Gyngell.
THE SHADE I PAINT MY NAILS IS
CALLED… I have crap nails, but I’ve tried to grow them and just had an Oxblood shellac mani. I love it.
MY BEST HOLIDAY EVER WAS…
getting married in Greece with all my friends. It was like Mamma Mia on steroids! I got a chest infection the day after, but it was worth it. THE THINGS I CAN’T STOP BUYING FOR MY HOME ARE… beautiful rugs and lamps.
THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS…
I Wanna Be Your Lover by Prince or One Thing by Amerie.
MY FOOLPROOF DINNER PARTY
DISH IS… Chicken Marbella with pesto rice and a green salad. I’m not a pudding person, so I’d prefer a cheese board, chutneys and crackers. THE MANTRA I LIVE BY IS… Have some more.
