I watched Gilda on a plane because I had run out of movie options, and since watching sky maps (rawdogging) became a bro-tok thing, I decided to revert back to traditional in-flight entertainment. Gilda is incredibly modern for something made in the 40’s, features Rita Hayworth at the height of her beauty and has a nuanced script that avoids characters lumbering you with dry exposition. All of the history between characters is implied. It is a joy to watch.

Since I was a child I have enjoyed walking around my house with one shoe on and, you guessed it, one shoe off. Something about the cold floor under one foot and something comfy on the other offers a duality that’s hard to beat. I’m aware this is weird. Please don’t tell anyone.

I gave a friend of mine a pair of silver Charvet slippers at her baby shower so that she would have something nice and sort of glamorous to wear once the baby was born. I went on a celebrity foot site to gauge her shoe size from the creeps that collate that type of info. Miu miu recently made a similar pair of the Charvet classics in black leather. I love that they smack of rich old grandpa and like to wear mine with socks in winter and in the summer au naturale as they make a great vacation shoe.If you’re looking for a cheaper option. I know it seems I’m obsessed with slippers but the Cammie Woman’s slipper is cheap and cool.

My go to moisturiser. I slather this on my face when I’ve run out of more expensive creams. I’m not one for multi step routines, the most jazzy I get is to add face oil to it.

Sir John Soane’s Museum in London is a beautiful Georgian home that has been kept exactly as it was when he lived there. Expect hidden secret paintings behind little doors, stunning statues and inspiring paint colours from ye olde times.
