So at the moment, my lovely cousin (hey @queenofwibaz) is over from the U.S and it's made me think a lot about my favourite places in London. The mornings I'd spend when it's raining
and the weekends when the day only begins after a long lie in and a slow start. It's made me think closely about the places I'd show someone who might not origanically stumble over them. The quirky shops, vintage troves and peculiar places for curling up with a book. So I thought I'd share a few of them here too. Last week we spent our Wednesday sheltering from the rain with jammy fried eggs on the canal, and ended it holed up with tea, chats and cosy knits at @hildastorelondon . It was an ordinary Wednesday, but what a way to spend a rainy middle of the week- here is the little route we did!

📍Start at Towpath for fried eggs with crispy sage or some hot porridge and tea.
📍 Head along the canal towards Broadway Market- popping in to Artwords (naturally), House of Vintage and Retrouvé (SLC, you will be missed)!
📍 Walk through London Fields towards Violet- stopping for cupcakes/and or cookies.
📍I do like a nosey in the other Retrouvé on Wilton Way too!
📍We walked to Stoke Newington via Dalston Lane and Kingsland High St- which means you walk past Beyond Retro Dalston and some other lovely little shops.
📍 Ending up at Hilda, which is one of my favourite shops in London.

It’s a cosy autumn Thursday morning. There is talk of Charlotte’s full-bodied soup, roast hunting and Jack eating chicken once again on the horizon. But! That’s not all- this week we are also joined by the wonderful Odessa Young! With the release of the new Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere movie, there's talk of meeting the Boss himself, tribute concerts, the best sausages in a Fridge of It chat (naturally) and important Debbie Harry chat. Liv has also discovered (arguably) her TV watch of the year, and wait for it, it’s on the wrong side of spooky- what could it be?!

In other big and pressing news the chat of Boxing Day hosiery *finally* comes up (FINALLY) as well as Liv’s steer into practical dressing, inspired by Charlie Cooper- her new unlikely style icon. We are so excited about this one, and hope you enjoy the episode!

So two weeks ago, @charlottejacklin and I had a very Brucey 36 hours in what can now only be known officially as 'Brucemas' and the days surrounding it. Ahead of a very exciting interview that'll be on the podcast this week (!) we went to see the new Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere biopic and spent an evening in the company of the man himself (we KNOW), which was pretty unbelievable indeed. In fact, we may never recover. We thought we'd bring you along for a little peek behind the velvet curtain (mainly us on trains with notebooks) but can't wait to share our chat and full review on Thursday!

A handful of the nicest parts of autumn so far, without any fancy audio (because crispy leaves, birds singing and little fingers excitedly tapping at the piano are the *real* fancy audio, in my opinion) 🍁 🍂

ad Stomping into autumn in a feast of fair isle, seventies style suedette and more tartan and cable knits than a heady festive season in the highlands- when I say I was giddy browsing the new @monsoon collection, I was not joking. A collection oozing whimsy with retro knits and nostalgic picnic checks, plus, with a gorgeously joyful and charming new collaboration from fashions most fabulous @sarah.corbettwinder (read: lots of big collars, lace, tartan and swans), it's set to be a very very well dressed autumn indeed. 📷: @beatricerigby

I mentioned on stories last week that at the moment it feels a little bit like I'm living a double life. A contrast of one that's getting to do ordinary, lovely, exciting work things and another facing incredible challenging situations with poorly family which feels impossibly hard at times. I know this is the reality for so many, but having this little space, it feels strange to gloss over one side of my life which feels like a huge part right now. I hope things might get easier, but I suppose this is a little note to say if you're in it too you're really not alone and the fancy stuff online is only one half of the pie. I've been trying to squeeze some nice little things to look forward to into busy days, and last week that was a very much demanded visit to Towpath after working (which, if you've never been is absolutely magic on the canal- but I feel like most of London loves it, rightly so), sugary tea at Saturday football and a big thing me and @charlottejacklin did for work which we will be sharing next week (I'm still pinching myself). Sending a big cuddle if you're also in the weird sticky stuff too, I've got you 🤍
