Tea – Storm & India’s Imperial Earl Grey is my go-to with four or five pots a day being my usual.
Classic white cotton shirts
The desire to have a career that brought me pleasure every day




The long silk PJs, for sure. I always get a couple of sets of silks from our collabs and find them so great to lounge and sleep in.
Levi’s 501s


Karen Walker sunglasses.
Small problem solving tasks – cryptic crosswords and jigsaw puzzles usually. Yoga, dog-walking and meditation close seconds.




Get some oxygen in the blood with a big dog-walk or yoga class; turn off the social media and visit an art gallery.
My back yard.
Only work with people who get it.
