My Blackbook
Pride speaks to German songstress Arlissa
Beach Babe
I was lucky enough to go the Seychelles a few years ago and genuinely had the time of my life. I love staying in Air B&B’s,I like the idea of finding a home away from home, and being really comfortable.
Foodie
Hokkaido Santouka Ramen in Boston – I waited a solid hour in the snow on St Patricks day to try this ramen, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Best Ramen I’ve ever had in my life. Also, Yashiin in Kensington does the most immaculate sushi I have ever had in my life. When I eat there, every mouthful feels like a gift so you’re almost sad you’ve eaten because you don’t want to be without it ever again. Gracias Madres in LA also does amazing vegan Mexican food, best fake cheese ever!
Clothes Hanger
I genuinely love shopping in LA because it has the best consignment/thrift shops ever. I bought stunning Chanel boutique trousers that looked like they’d never been worn, for 60 dollars. I’m obsessed with Realisation Par and The Reformation. Realisation Par have the most beautiful Parisian cuts, i always feel really girly and confident in their clothes. Reformation fits me really well, and its all sustainable recycled clothing, they tell you in what ways you’ve helped use less resources by buying from their brand so i never feel guilty splurging there.
Curl Envy
Whenever I’m in LA i go to Capella Salon and get my hair done by Shai Amiel, who’s a curly hair specialist. I don’t know anyone who cuts hair as perfect as he does!! i use Deva Curl products at the moment, and Desert Essence coconut shampoo which is AMAZING.
Fitness First
I just started doing Reformer Pilates at HeartCore. Its super dynamic but you feel so incredibly toned after one session! I love going Bouldering at The Castle in London and hiking when I’m in LA and swimming wherever I can! I keep really active to keep my mind balanced and also eat way too much food so I like to compensate!
Ten Pin
I love bowling with my best friends in at AllStars in Central London as they do half price Mondays! We actually try to go at least once a fortnight.
Cult Beauty
I love Argan oil and Chia Seed oil (both are super healing for post acne hyper pigmentation) and I only wash my face with micellar water. The only make up I wear is a brand called Oxygenetix, which has a very sheer foundation. It genuinely looks like you haven’t got a stitch of make up on when you wear it!
London Nights
To be honest, I’m never fussed where my friends and I go, as long as I’m in really good company and there’s an extra spicy Picante cocktail on the menu, I’m happy, but if I’m staying out for a super late one I’ll go to The Box in London.
