AND FINALLY
COLLAGERIE CO-FOUNDER LUCINDA CHAMBERS ON HER FAVOURITE THINGS
MY CAN’T-MISS PODCAST IS... The Rest Is Politics with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart. It’s an exercise in how two people can disagree but still listen to each other in a reasonable and intelligent way.
THE CANDLE I LOVE TO LIGHT IS… Anything by the subscription service Gløde. The scents are sensational.
MY SIGNATURE LIPSTICK IS… On the go, it’s Jones Road’s Lip and Cheek Stick in Chocolate Mocha. If I’m going spenny, it’s Hermès Satin Lipstick in Rouge H.
MY FAVOURITE INDEPENDENT SHOP IS... 8 Holland Street, an art and furniture shop in Kensington.
MY FOODIE WEAKNESS IS… Green pesto pasta, and milk chocolate buttons, which I keep a supply of in the freezer.
WHEN I SEND FLOWERS, I CALL… Flowerbx has incredible flowers, or I like going to a stallholder on Portobello Road.
MY ONE-STOP MORNING COFFEE SHOP IS… Burnt cafe on Askew Road.
ON TOAST, I LOVE TO SPREAD… In the morning, apricot jam with unsalted butter. In the afternoon, it’s Marmite.
MY FAVOURITE PAIR OF SHOES ARE… Good News London Opal trainers go with everything. Plus, I can run for the bus!
MY SIGNATURE SCENT IS... I’ve just discovered Ffern perfumery, which sends you four delicious seasonal scents a year.
THE SHADE I ALWAYS PAINT MY NAILS IS… Mademoiselle by Essie.
THE BOOK I KEEP ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE IS… Anything by David Sedaris. He’s just so dark, funny and brilliant.
THE BOXSET I REWATCH OVER AND OVER IS… My husband and I loved the Polish series The Green Glove Gang. It’s a comedy about middle-aged female heisters.
MY BEST-EVER HOLIDAY WAS… Any time we go to our house in France, near Toulouse.
