You in one sentence
I live in London with my husband, daughter and second daughter on the way - any day now!
I'm a fashion journalist and broadcaster, with a huge interior design fetish!
On your desk
Lots of stationery - I'm a stationery nerd! My Petra Palumbo water carafe, Smythson diary,
a couple of framed photos, and often fresh flowers too.
On your
bedside tablE
More flowers! A novel or two that I never seem to open (too tired), some earrings, a scrunchie, glass of water, lip balm.
Go to stationery piece
Clementina Sketchbook notes of course! I am a big fan of the handwritten thank you letter,
written in proper ink from a fountain pen.
Seaside or
mountain homE
Mountain in winter, i love to ski.
Country or city
A bit of both!
Placé dinner
or stand up cocktail
Neither - my husband and I love drinks and snacks sitting up at the bar. We did that the night we got engaged and it's just more sociable and fun.
Best party
I went to some corkers in LA,
they really go nuts with the catering there, I miss taco trucks!
Last party
Sadly I can barely remember, being pregnant plus Covid has rather been the fun police! When we first moved back to London (from LA) we went to a hilarious themed birthday in a fake prison in Soho, it was lead by actors and pretty funny. They serve you cocktails in your cells.
Digital or paper invitation
Paper!
Signature
dinner-party touch
Effort with creating signature cocktails, it is always really appreciated and gets the party started.
star sign
Sagittarius!
Last thank you note
To a friend, for her baby shower
Next Thank you note
Probably newborn-related!
Favourite Clementina Sketchbook piece
Her signature clementine thank you cards with a green ribbon around the edge, I want to create something similar with her for an upcoming event…

Wallpaper or paint
Both - I love a painted window frame next to wallpaper, I'm currently renovating
and planning a few rooms like that.
