We think you deserve a little treat this week. Some self-gifting is in order because, well, simply because we think you’re great.
From a beyond gorgeous cashmere tote to a candle inspired by forest bathing, and a swish cinema trip to catch Wes Anderson’s latest filmic sensation, The French Dispatch, how you choose to treat yourself is entirely up to you…
LIGHT THIS Into The Forest Candle, Tata Harper X Nette
Melt your worries away with this calming candle from Tata Harper and clean and sustainable candle brand, Nette. This limited-edition Into the Forest candle, inspired by Harper’s favourite, pine tree-filled corner of her Vermont farm, is made to imitate the natural health benefits of forest bathing. With its fresh, woodsy scent of fir balsam, the candle conjures a sense of serenity – note: its aroma is said to boost the resting, parasympathetic nervous system. Add to cart for a mindful Monday.
SHOP THIS Hildegard Knotted-Strap Cashmere Tote Bag, Gabriela Hearst
The end goal, for style-minded women, is to look effortlessly chic at all times. With Gabriela Hearst’s beige cashmere Hildegard tote bag straddled over your arm, you’ll achieve peak chic almost instantly. Shaped in Italy with a knotted strap and a removable zip-top pouch, this slouchy and irreverent piece is about to become a permanent fixture in (y)our A/W wardrobe.
WATCH THIS The French Dispatch
We’ve been watching Wes Anderson’s film catalogue on loop in anticipation of his latest release: The French Dispatch. Now, it’s landed in cinemas and we’re beyond eager to see it. Starring Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Bill Murray, and Owen Wilson (to name just a few A-listers), the film is “a love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional twentieth-century French city that brings to life a collection of stories published in “The French Dispatch Magazine”.” Watch it and report back.
BOOK THIS Rosewood Villa Magna, Madrid, Spain
Make Madrid your next getaway – and ensure Rosewood Villa Magna is where you’re bedding down whilst here. For a truly memorable meal, book a table for two at the hotel’s destination restaurant, Amós, which is helmed by three Michelin-starred chef Jesús Sánchez. Plotted on Paseo de la Castellana, the hotel immediately neighbours the prestigious Serrano shopping district, and nearby landmarks such as the Golden Triangle of Art, home to the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofía Museums. Post-pavement stomping, head back to base to enjoy a Moroccan beauty ritual by Charme D’Orient at Sense, A Rosewood Spa.
SNIFF THIS Mumbai Noise, BYREDO
Serving up a complex contrast of aromas – think warm woods and amber, plummy Davana, smooth leather, bitter coffee, and sweet tonka beans – Mumbai Noise is the warm, multi-faceted eau de parfum from Byredo we’re all too eager to get our paws on. A tribute to the sensorial multitudes and multifaceted modernity of Mumbai, this universal scent works from day-to-night. For maximum scenting, spray on your pulse points, then add a scent halo around your neck, head, and hair.
