My mum used to be a huge Bicester Village fan. I once got an enamel Fendi bangle for £40 (a price that surprised even the salesperson) and still have so many pre expansion Agent Provocateur pieces teenage me decided were imperative to my way of life, that have actually lasted forever. I'm definitely going to take a trip back up there!
(Next time you're back in Oxford, the RH in Aynho Park is weirdly beyond? I love a space where you can commune with nature but still get a green juice.)
I also think pill bottles are kind of iconic? Maybe it's because we only have blister packs here and there's something so institutionalized and grim about them. Or the universality of something that's found on a president and a Walmart greeter's bedside table. Very "a Coke is a Coke". The GG monogram bottle from Zitomer Emilia Petrarca spotted is on my Christmas list.
On point 3 - yeah you do. I have them, they're pretty fantastic and I'm not even a shoe person. I can't wait to wear them in 20 years wandering around West London giving aristo vibes.
This deep dive is everything. It captures so many essential wish list items in sleep and feels like a real nod to the cultural shift we desperately need. The move from people in 2012 flexing that they only slept five hours to hearing that in 2025 and thinking, are you ok (???), feels like a full paradigm flip. Excited to see where this space goes in the next year as sleep becomes the ultimate luxury item.
I feel seen. After having some of the best sleep of my life at a hotel in Italy (after a very stressful week AND needing the beauty sleep for an important event) the next day I asked the concierge for their mattress brand. My online review spoke solely of their bed (yes, I am that person, they are a small hotel and need the PR.) The post-it with the info is still in my wallet for when I move 🛌 💤
Tariro! You’re always doing the lord’s work but sleep is like my queen rn, so this was everything! I’m very motivated on getting good sleep and very well may get the BIA sleep mask. The sauna blanket has majorly helped me, but I sometimes have trouble falling back asleep if I wake up in the middle of the night. Hence this mask may be in my future as it would also be so great for long flights and hotels that do not have blackout curtains. If anyone has the mask, please kindly sound off on if it’s worked for you! X
Pls I would like this too. Also must report on the Gucci suede booties: they are very good looking and pretty comfy (10k steps not 20) but they are a little hard to get on (do I look like I own a shoehorn? seriously?) and also they do not keep your feet warm at all, (she said after a day of -18 C wearing them while searching for all the shearling lined boots hello Frieda Salvador)
LOL ok I am feeling a tad influenced on them bc everyone keeps saying “perfect winter boots” and I’ve resisted for a year but slowly…… im like am I being obtuse — not being warm is a huge one for me thank U for your service
I cannot believe you just went to Belmont Villages! Our heated furniture is there, did you toast your buns on it?!?! If not, please return and do so! It is just the cherry on top of an already insane experience.
I love this post! Sleep is SO important. I literally look 10 year younger when I am getting proper sleep! Thank you for the tips!
YAY that makes me happy!!! It IS!!! Sooo so important!!
Honorable Mention: Prescription antihistamine that will knock you right out on top of all of these lovely chic things.
I LOLed at this.

Don't bother with any store bought earplugs, get a custom made pair from an audiologist and you'll never look back!
