London at its
EASIEST
Having resided in North London for the past 12 years, Style Director Emma reveals her must-have neighbourhood favourites she always sends to friends
RESTAURANT MUST: It’s hard to pick just one; The Red Lion and Sun is one of those classic North London pubs I always end up coming back to for relaxed dinners with friends. Tucked into a quiet corner in Highbury, Lupa is great for cosy nights; I always start with the focaccia and burrata
FLORIST FAVOURITE: Urban Flower Co; every arrangement feels so considered – it’s my go-to whenever I want flowers that feel genuinely impactful
HIDDEN GEM: Tollingtons in Finsbury Park is set in an old chippie – the perfect sweet spot between a Spanish bar and no-fuss small plates with standout dishes like the chips bravas and pickled anchovies
The Streets of
PARIS
Home to culture, cuisine and effortlessly chic style; Fabiana recalls her Parisian must-sees for when you’re in the capital – you won’t be disappointed
TOP RESTAURANTS: Baronne at Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild for an elegant setting, Lafayette’s for classic Parisian dining, and La Coupole, which has beautiful Art Deco interiors and excellent Burgundy snails
CULTURE SPOT: I would recommend
Musée de l’Orangerie to see Monet’s iconic Water Lilies
HIDDEN GEM: I love wandering through Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Jardin du Luxembourg – especially on a sunny afternoon
A few days on the
GOLD COAST
Australia calls for sun-lit ease, days on the beach and nothing that feels too planned, just ask Fredrika… here she shares her top spots she never misses in Burleigh
BEST COFFEE: Paddock Bakery is the obvious choice for most tourists, but Mohr is a more quiet and aesthetic spot down the street in a renovated old warehouse – you have to try the cold foam coffee
WHERE TO WINE: Labart – it’s a relaxed European bistro with delicious local farmer sourced ingredients
HIDDEN GEM: Walk from Burleigh Head Hills through the headlands for little private swim spots at Tallebudgera Creek – then head to the hills to catch the sunset
Heading to
MIDTOWN MIAMI
Vibrant, energetic and effortlessly cool, Vilma shares her top things to do and see in Midtown Miami
BEST LOCATION: The Design District – perfect for people watching, exploring, shopping and dining. Pura Vida is my go-to lunch spot
BEACH SPOT: You can’t go to Miami without visiting the beach – South Beach Boulevard is a must
HIDDEN GEM: Wynwood is a vibrant area to discover graffiti art, up-and-coming restaurants and cool cafés
Exploring
SAN FRANCISCO
From ocean views of the Golden Gate Bridge to sunsets on the beach and charming neighbourhood coffee spots, the options are endless – we asked Lison to pick her top 3
WHY VISIT?: It’s a city that constantly feels inspiring, relaxed, and full of character – there’s so much you can do in just one day
COFFEE GO-TO: Compton’s Coffee House, Fillmore Street – not only is the coffee great, but it’s one of the only cafés around with a terrace that gets plenty of sunshine
LOCAL FAVOURITE: Loving Cup is a must for frozen yogurt and sweet treats. The perfect stop after a walk around the city. Delicious, organic, and always worth it – I love the butter finger
HIDDEN GEM: Walk along Crissy Field for stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the bay while walking along the waterfront
