This week’s edit is one to bookmark. From a landmark opening on one of Paris’s most storied streets, to a cookbook three years in the making that proves food really can change lives, to an autumn refresh that makes staying in feel just as good as going out, it’s a proper mixed bag of the beautiful to the moreish.
We’re dreaming of a Paris trip already, drawn in by a new address that’s as much gallery and bookshop as it is store. We’re counting down the days until a book lands on shelves that’s been three years of love, graft and family recipes in the making, one with a story as rich as its 100+ dishes. And as the temperature drops, we’re taking notes from a collection that makes the case for slowing down at home, one considered object at a time. Here’s what’s caught our eye this week.
VISIT THIS ON YOUR NEXT GIRLS TRIP Sezane
Sézane is heralding a new chapter with the opening of a major new space at 117 rue du Bac, a heritage building in Paris’s 7th arrondissement. Marking a six-month residency, this new address is far more than a store – it’s a physical expression of the brand’s evolution into a broader cultural and creative universe, bringing together the latest collection, a bookshop created with Librairie Galignani, and a café by Ten Belles. The opening also features a large-scale exhibition dedicated to James Barnor, the 96-year-old Ghanaian photographer and pioneer of photojournalism, whose decade-long relationship with the brand began at the opening of the first Sézane Appartement. This is a fitting continuation of Sézane’s long-standing dialogue with art, photography and image-making, as well as an extra reason to hop on a train to Paris.
ADD THIS TO YOUR MONTHLY WELLNESS CALENDAR Vidavii
If September is shaping up to be full-on, this is the reset to book in. The Vidavii Circuit is a 30-minute longevity transformation for body and mind. Tucked away in Mayfair, Vidavii is London’s first brain, body and mind longevity ecosystem, built for anyone who wants the benefits of a full wellness overhaul without carving out hours for it. The circuit runs through four stages, back to back. It starts with Scan, a 3D body measurement that creates a digital avatar and tracks metrics like BMI, weight and hip-to-waist ratio, as well as posture and information so useful you wouldn’t think otherwise, seen on site and emailed to you so progress is entirely visible. From there it’s Breathe, where ionised oxygen and infrared light therapy work together to open up airways, support circulation and stimulate collagen production and cellular repair. Relaxing that you’ll take 7 minutes to simply close your eyes and let the work just make magic. Next is Squeeze, a touchless lymphatic flow system that alternates positive and negative pressure to drain water retention, de-puff and get circulation properly moving. And it finishes with Freeze, a whole-body cryotherapy chamber set to −85°C, and those who know, know. A Cryo session will ease inflammation and pain, calm anxiety, and support recovery, performance and skin ageing all at once. Experienced first hand, that night was the best sleep I had in a long time. Used alone, each station has its own benefit. Used together, in sequence, the effects compound, leaving you clearer-headed, less inflamed and actually restored, all before your morning meeting. For a month packed with school runs, deadlines and everything in between, it’s a half hour that resets the lot.
REVIVE YOUR HOME WITH THIS COLLECTION H&M Fall Collection
H&M HOME’s Fall collection centres around Modernism, reworked with a softer, contemporary hand. Wood, stone, glass and brushed metal meet soft textiles and graphic accents, held together by a warm palette of whites, beige and black. In the living room, a wooden sofa table anchors a display of ceramic vases, marble boxes and sculptural candle holders, while textured blankets and bouclé cushions bring in the comfort. The master bedroom leans into calm, East Coast-inspired minimalism with striped and checked bedding, soft curtains and elevated sleepwear, while the dining table keeps things pared-back with smoked glass, ceramics and a well-stocked mini-bar for after-dinner digestifs. Styled by interior designer Lotta Agaton, this season is an intimate look at the art of designing a considered, restrained home, that you’ll want guests over to quietly show off all the time. Martini anyone?

MAKE HOME COOKING MORE INTERESTING The SOHAILA Cookbook
Three years in the making, the much-anticipated SOHAILA cookbook publishes this Thursday 10th September. Written by Nathalie Moukarzel and Meg Doherty – the duo behind Shoreditch’s beloved Sohaila Lebanese restaurant & wine bar, and the social enterprise Fat Macy’s – the book is named for Nathalie’s 96-year-old teta, Sohaila, whose recipes and traditions run through its pages. With over 100 make-at-home recipes drawn from the restaurant’s menu, think signature hummus, Chalkstream trout kibbeh nayee, and kataifi pastry with macerated strawberries and honeyed cream, the book is as much a love letter to Lebanese food and hospitality as it is a record of the Sohaila journey so far. It charts how the restaurant, alongside Fat Macy’s ten years of work supporting homeless Londoners into permanent housing through hospitality training, shows the real power food and community can have to transform lives.
BOOK DINNER HERE The Generational Tasting Tour x Chef Wolfgang Puck and Chef Byron Lazaroff-Puck
On 9th September, globally renowned chef Wolfgang Puck brings his Generational Tasting Tour to London, landing at CUT at 45 Park Lane. The once-in-a-generation dining series pairs Wolfgang with his son, Chef Byron Lazaroff-Puck, for an evening built around dialogue: Wolfgang presents a classic dish from his culinary legacy, while Byron reinterprets it through modern technique, three-Michelin-star training and inspiration from the host city. Spanning six countries and more than fifteen venues since launching at CUT Washington DC in March, the tour is as much a celebration of family and legacy as it is of food — and coincides with CUT’s 20th anniversary. A rare four-hands dinner worth planning September around.
