248 covers (ish), so so many celeb interviews (and somehow only one truly awful person, whose work I will never watch again as punishment), 9,000 what’s for tea conversations, unending complaining about the office being too hot / cold / noisy, getting to work with the most most excellent people. And of course my legacy: crisp buffets and crying at puppies.
Now after 11 years it’s time for the next adventure. Stylist: over and out!
Hire me for good vibes and good words.
I’m not very good at being proud of myself, but this week is my TENTH anniversary of working @stylistmagazine . What a time it’s been and how very lucky I am to work with such brilliant women (and @tomgormer ) to create the best magazine and events out there.
And what a cover we’ve done this month to top it all off: THE Adam Brody.
Also included are:
Some of my faves I’ve booked from 2024
The puppies!
Covers to love forever and ever
Showing off in the Emerald St offices
The time we did 10 guest edits in a year and I nearly died and had massive conjunctivitis in front of Hillary Clinton.
People I get to meet.
Deeply recommend a holiday in Slovenia (+ Venice) by train if you like: so so so much green, swimming in lakes with clouds swirling round your head, caves with trains in and a million stalactites and stalagmites, and also caves with castles in, gondolas up mountains, winning mini golf, waterfalls and gorges to challenge your London legs with, occasional torrential rain, gorgeous fonts, naked saunas, all the Campari spritz, the best slice of pizza I have ever ever eaten and excellent crisps (shout out to the giant pom bear grizzlies and my very own giant pom bear @craigbpearce ). 👍🏻👍🏻
Aruba: so good I didn’t go on my phone all week.
(They can have that tagline).
Featuring: getting over my fear of turtles by watching 32 being born, outfit photos (inspired by @leannebayley ) snorkelling on repeat, sunburning, @acrispbuffet ing, so much cool geology, a tv in the bathroom mirror and THE Mariah Carey. ❤️💙💛

Stylist Live: over and out. 25 talks organised, not one vegetable for 72 hours (sorry @tim.spector ), about 9 sobs and just so so many good vibes. How lucky I am.
Albania 2023 in session: a brilliant whirl of getting very into Monopoly deal and geocaching (she loves a hobby), all the sea swimming, a surprise few days in most dreamy Corfu, spending more time than I’d like with my head in a big purple sick bowl / Googling stomach bile, a lot of war bunkers, incredible castles and (less incredible) communism, 83 pharmacies, a parrot that took the piss out of you in a mad bunker bar and the best best travel buddy! ❤️
The only thing worth breaking my instagram fast for: committing the first time Runnings has won A grade, and the whole league, to sporting history! Next step: Olympics.
