Going up!
The White Lotus finale parties
Where will you be on Monday night? Might I suggest a dinner party where everyone dresses like the 1 per cent on hols, splits a Thai and watches episode eight? Sweepstakes for whodunnit.
Polka dots
Dial Yayoi — spots are so back. Big and small, they have flooded the spring high street collections and look good on men, too. Check out A$AP Rocky and Omar Apollo for inspo.
Tulips
Fill the house with them while they’re in season. Florist Scarlet & Violet will send you “a simple arrangement of 50 tulip stems, in a vase”. Oh, go on then.
Animal jewels
Not only for sixth-form art teachers. Jeweller Castro Smith will engrave whales, hares and hummingbirds for you. Or take a look at Bea Bongiasca’s newly launched Animali collection at DSM.
Going down…
80-oyster lunches
TikTokers are going viral for eating huge, solo oyster lunches across London. Every oyster is a gamble, remember, and I fear these double-digit diners are tempting trouble.
Leicester Square
Couldn’t help but agree with the judge who described loud buskers playing songs on loop in the cinema hotspot as “psychological torture”.
Arc’teryx toque beanies
The sun is out, which means it’s time for everyone to pop away their cult beanies until at least mid-September. I’ll try not to miss them too much.
Parents from hell
Having six officers nick the school WhatsApp vigilantes in front of their kids was a bit OTT, but blimey — 45 email threads about head teachers? Pick up that book on your side table.
