MY LIST OF EVERYTHING
Jewellery designer Monica Vinader’s favourite things
MY CAN’T-MISS PODCAST IS…
How To Fail With Elizabeth Day. I love the concept of celebrating things that haven’t gone right; there’s so much to learn and use from our failures.
THE CANDLE I LOVE TO LIGHT IS…
Any scent from the Monica Vinader candle range! My favourite right now is Peony.
MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS…
I’m a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury’s Rosy Glow gloss. It makes me feel like I’m ready to face the world.
MY FAVOURITE INDEPENDENT SHOP IS…
Daunt Books on London’s Marylebone High Street. I can spend hours getting lost in that shop.
MY FOODIE WEAKNESS IS…
Thai food; I absolutely love it.
WHEN I SEND FLOWERS, I CALL…
Whitney Bromberg Hawkings at Flowerbx. She’s a good friend of mine and my go-to.
MY ONE-STOP MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS…
Humble Pie delicatessen in Burnham Market. I dream about its coffee.
ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD…
Olive oil and avocado.
MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES IS…
My sparkling pink Gucci loafers; they make me feel so happy.
THE SHADE I ALWAYS PAINT MY NAILS IS…
Right now, it’s OPI’S Baby, Take a Vow. It’s the perfect pinky neutral.
MY SIGNATURE SCENT IS…
Le Labo Another 13. I really like the mix of jasmine and moss scents and how it never gets old.
THE BOOK I KEEP ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE IS…
A huge stack of the books that I want to read next! I’m currently immersed in A Gentleman In Moscow by Amor Towles.
THE BOXSET I REWATCH OVER AND OVER IS…
The US comedy-drama Californication – both the script and the acting are brilliant.
MY FAVOURITE HOTEL FOR A WEEKEND AWAY IS…
I’m dying to spend a weekend at The Newt in Somerset. Its indoor pool is exactly what I need to recover from lockdown.
THE ALBUM I’LL NEVER GROW TIRED OF IS…
Come Away With Me by Norah Jones.
MY BEST-EVER HOLIDAY WAS…
I’ve had the best holidays in Mexico, from my honeymoon in Las Alamandas to family holidays in Tulum. I love the people, the culture, the food, and the beaches!
THE THING I CAN’T STOP BUYING FOR MY HOME IS…
Flowers, plants and, this year, lots of hyacinth and paperwhite bulbs to grow in pots all over the house. I’ve been inspired by Willow Crossley’s Instagram tutorials.
WHEN I WANT TO CRY WITH LAUGHTER, I CALL…
My father – he’s the funniest and wittiest person I know.
THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR IS…
Anything from the Michael Jackson album Off The Wall.
MY FOOLPROOF DINNER PARTY DISH IS…
Beef tagliata with rocket and Parmesan cheese.
THE MANTRA I LIVE BY IS…
Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
