Current Obsessions
A few things that have me hooked right now
Over the last few months, there’s been no shortage of things I’ve loved, so I thought it would be fun to share a few. I’m always on the lookout for new inspiration, and I don’t believe in gatekeeping.
Here’s a round-up of some of my favourite things recently:
🎧 Grace Beverley’s Interviews
Her chats with Adam Mosseri (yes, the head of Instagram) and Richard Branson really stuck with me. It was refreshing to hear honest business advice and what Instagram actually recommends you do.
📺 Yellowstone
I’m almost at the end of season 5 and honestly, I don’t want it to end so I’ve slowed down my watching! The storytelling, the drama, the scenery... it’s all so addictive.
✨ Dita Von Teese
I’ve been having a bit of a Dita moment. I watched a brilliant interview with her, then went to see an early preview of her new West End show, Diamonds and Dust. She’s the definition of glamour, elegance and power, and I loved every minute of the show.
🎬 Films I’ve Loved
Some standouts include Warfare, Sinners, the latest Wes Anderson (The Phoenician Scheme), which was quirky as usual, but I really enjoyed it. I also watched the final two Mission Impossible films. I watched the final one in IMAX with a bucket of popcorn, which made it more fun!
🖤 Courtney Love on WTF with Marc Maron
Chaotic, funny, and fascinating. This was such a great and crazy interview and very typically Courtney.
📺 Louis Theroux: Settlers
His latest documentary is a thoughtful look at what’s happening on the West Bank. It is a complex topic but it helped me to understand it a little bit more.
📚 Don’t Do Anything I Would Do
This book by Cara Alwill (one of my book mentors) is packed with fun stories from her dating life. If you love bold women telling real stories, definitely give it a read.
👠 Call Her Daddy with Sarah Jessica Parker
SJP was such a good guest. It felt like an honest interview. I especially loved when they talked about all things Sex and the City.
🎙 Substack Interview
I really enjoyed listening to the founders of Substack on How I Built This. Since it’s my favourite platform, it was so interesting to hear how it came to life.
🧘♀️ MyProtein Leggings
I picked up some new leggings for the gym and was genuinely impressed by the quality. Super comfy and they actually stay up!
That’s everything for now. A little mix of fun, creativity and inspiration that I’ve been enjoying lately. If there’s something you’ve been loving too — a show, a book, a podcast — let me know in the comments. I’m always up for new recommendations.
