  • “I’ve just remembered I’ve got my Christmas wreath up” - Fiona Leahy
    Mar 13 2020

    For the final episode of season one, Laura speaks to Irish-born Creative Director and founder of her eponymous brand, Fiona Leahy Design, Fiona Leahy who has designed parties most of us could only dream of. Having made the jump from fashion to party planning 13 years ago, her catalogue of conquests and events stretch from Dita Von Teese and Marilyn Manson’s wedding to a Yayoi Kusama event for Louis Vuitton and Nat Rothchilds 40th birthday in Montenegro. If you have ever come across an event or tablescape image where your heart literally skips a beat, Fiona was probably the mastermind behind it. From tablescapes and machimalism, to pilgrimages through Peru in the name of rattan placemats and a solo meal to die for, this final episode really is the cherry on top and full to bursting with great travel and interior tips, and exactly where to go to kit out your own table wardrobe.

  • "I think it’s flourless" - Raven Smith
    Mar 6 2020

    Hosting us this week at his favourite Soho haunt is the wonderfully quick witted Raven Smith. Raven’s instagram is a firm fan favourite, offering up a hilarious running commentary on the goings on of everyday life - his charm and quick witted journalism has earned him a place as a contributor at British Vogue and the columnist Sunday times style as well as paving the way to his newest accreditation: Author of the autobiographical "Raven Smith’s Trivial Pursuit". Together, Laura and Raven jump from holiday homes in France to fish finger taco parties in London and drinking mezcal in Mexico at 11:00am. A ‘casual saver’ - more to come on this - Raven is currently renovating his house with his husband, whose relationship can be benchmarked through multiple signature "Raven" dishes.
