Bust Laid Bare
Paris City Guide
This month, we asked stylist and Parisienne Sylvie Mus to show us around the city. Sylvie was born in Rwanda, grew up in Kenya and Finland, and has been living in Paris since 2021. She works as a wardrobe stylist and writes the les underdressed newsletter on Substack which has tons of useful tips on how to elevate your wardrobe through styling and adding intentional pieces you’ll wear for a lifetime - definitely one to follow!
She shares both the places she finds herself returning to and the ones that make the day-to-day bustle of Paris feel straightforward and grounded rather than overwhelming. A mix of neighbourhood go-tos and spots you’d probably only hear about from someone who lives here!
LA City Guide
This time, we asked Designer, YouTuber, and stylist Karla Deras to show us around. Having founded The Line by K a decade ago, Karla’s philosophy inspired her elevated yet effortless collection of basics, and also makes her the the perfect guide to show us the best of LA, inside and out.
She’s helped us curate sharing her top picks for everything you need to make the most of your visit, whether that be through hidden gems or classic favourites.

The Female Founded Gift Guide
Gifting is its very own love language and with gift giving as one of mine, I promise I’m taking this seriously.
This year, it’s been such a joy to put this Gift Guide together celebrating some of the female creatives I most admire around the world. I’m lucky enough to have some of these incredible women in my orbit and I know firsthand the hours of work that have gone into each element of bringing their dreams to life.
I love hearing more about why people choose particular things, so I’ve included (maybe too many) notes on the things I have and love and really could have had double the number of items in each section!
From homewares, to substack subscriptions, to a few vintage treasures, we hope you find things to give and, maybe, a few to receive too! We know we have a global audience so [almost] everything is available with worldwide shipping, with a few IRL stores in London, NY, LA and Paris which are well worth a visit for those who still like to shop in person!
