“You can have it all” was the soundtrack to my teenage dream to move to London, edit a magazine and have a big family. The catchphrase spoke loudly to a generation of young girls who watched TV shows about successful, shoe-buying career women in New York while poring over photos of Victoria Beckham and her brood at her acclaimed fashion shows. It was an alluring promise. I was lucky to get both: the children and the dream job. But I missed the small print that read “Disclaimer: to have it all you need to do it all. Literally all of it. Everything. The nursery drop-offs, the early meetings, the school plays, the team drinks, the cooking, the trips to the dentist, the homework and the late night emails. And as…

BOOKS It’s a genre lots of us overlook, but poetry is finally getting the appreciation it deserves: 2023 was the biggest-selling year for poetry collections since records began. From the rise of Insta-poets to projects from Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift that blur the lines between sonnets and songwriting, poetry is opening up – and there’s something for everyone. Poyums We’ve swapped scrolling before bed with a few pages of this collection every night, and we’re sure it’s given us better sleep and sweeter dreams. A funny, fiercely feminist debut by Scottish poet Len Pennie, it includes letters written to her younger self, brilliant polemics on women’s rights and smart takes on fairy-tales. £14.99, Canongate, out now Girls That Never Die Already winning high praise from writer Roxane Gay,…

NATURE IS CALLING Stylist contributor Poppy Malby finds serenity at an eco lodge in rural Italy While I had been to the Tuscan capital of Florence on a girls’ holiday, I’d never got to explore what the region is really famous for: the rolling hills and vineyards, delicately crumbling villas and tall cypress trees that will never not remind me of Letters To Juliet. As someone who adores animals and Italian cuisine, I had high hopes for a rural escape to the Oasi Dynamo estate, which promised a focus on nature and fresh food from the surrounding farms and woodlands. The Oasyhotel at the heart of the estate is quite literally an oasis, perched high up in the Apennine mountains. Affiliated with WWF, it’s a hospitality project that specialises in…

TRAVEL As demand for slower, more considered travel continues to rise, a new wave of sleeper trains  are arriving to whisk us off our feet.  Here are  the journeys to dream about… Remember a couple of years back, when Sweden gave us a catchy way to describe our souring relationship with jet-setting: flygskam, aka ‘flight shame’? Well, now there’s a new Swedish word taking over the travel industry: tågskryt, which literally translates to ‘train pride’. With night routes opening up across Europe and design-led sleeper trains setting off on every continent, the long, luxurious rail journey is the coolest way to holiday in 2024. Infinitely more romantic than being wedged against the wall of a Boeing 747 (and emitting up to 75% less carbon), the new dawn of train travel is about…

Food You know we like to get our hands dirty here at Stylist, which is why we’ve road tested three recipes cherry-picked from the season’s hottest cookbooks. Your dinner party inspiration starts here Chickpeas with Halloumi and Seeded Honey Alix Walker, editor “I am already a fully subscribed member of the Anna Jones fan club. Her first cookbook, 2014’s A Modern Way To Eat, spearheaded a cultural shift towards a love and appreciation of veg as the main event – rather than great hunks of meat – and it’s the way I’ve eaten ever since. So it’s no surprise that I put my hand up to test her new book, Easy Wins. Split into 12 sections, each hero-ing an ingredient like lemon, tahini or capers, the recipes are uncomplicated,…

beauty As daylight ekes out that little bit longer, Stylist’s beauty director Hanna Ibraheem tells us why the arrival of spring is the perfect time for a skin overhaul Photography: AGATA PEC In the time it’ll take you to read this sentence, you’ll have shed around 3,000 dead skin cells. Add to that the layers of dirt and oil our skin accumulates in a day, and I wouldn’t blame you if you feel the need for a full-body scrub down right now. After hibernating all winter, spring has always sparked the urge to deep clean our homes or refresh our wardrobes. Increasingly though, we want to give our bodies a head-to-toe MOT too. The ‘Everything Shower’, an indulgent multi-step routine that covers cleansing, exfoliating, dry-brushing, masking and moisturising, has blown…

stylist advertorial Stylist’s Strong Women editor Miranda Larbi wants to lift the stigma on period health If I cast my mind back to my most embarrassing moments, they’ve all been period-related. Like the time I leaked during orchestra practice in year 8 and refused to move from my plastic seat until everyone had left the hall – knowing it to be smeared with blood. Or the moment I had to get a boyfriend to wrench out a menstrual cup… only for it to explode over us both. But none of that compares to the agony of not having a period at all and having to explain to a male GP why that bothered me. For two long years, I didn’t bleed a drop, and after being weighed and having a…

INTERIORS Your new TV obsession is about to drop and it has an unlikely star: the set design. Here’s how to channel the show’s kitsch charm in your own home Rejoice: an all-star cast (including Kristen Wiig and Laura Dern) is here to save our weekday evenings with a big-budget comedy that’s as stylish as it is funny. The story of a social climber in Palm Beach, Florida, Palm Royale is appointment viewing. And when it drops on Apple TV+ on 20 March, we predict the interior design will create just as much buzz. Set on the cusp of the 70s, the show captures the heyday of kitsch-cool, with candy stripes, tropical motifs and retro accents we want to recreate in our own living rooms. According to Pinterest, 70s interiors…

HONEST CAREER NOTES ON STRIVING, FAILING AND FINDING FULFILMENT Bibi, 44, is an integrative psychotherapist and mother-daughter relationship coach. She lives in Richmond, south-west London, with her husband and two children I BECAME a mother-daughter therapist DURING lockdown. I’d studied integrative psychotherapy for three years, but it didn’t feel like enough: all the texts were written by old white men and didn’t reflect what my clients were experiencing. Not only were people spending more time with their families during the pandemic, but they were also examining their relationships in a deeper way than ever before. I decided to do further training at Mother-Daughter Coaching International to better understand that dynamic. How we feel about our mothers influences every part of our lives. How you see yourself and show up…

all the need-to-know news from executive fashion director kitty mcgee There was a sugary-sweet, romantic trend on the s/s 2024 catwalks. Libby Page, market director at Net-A-Porter, explains: “It’s a new, undone way of dressing that isn’t overtly girly but modern and refined.” The trend includes pastel dresses and fabrics from lace and organza to ruffles and sheer, but it was the reinvention of the humble white dress that stood out most of all. Valentino and Victoria Beckham had elevated takes on cotton shirt-dresses, Khaite showed a minimal ankle-grazing tank, and Coperni went for lace-trimmed with 3D floral details. Style with oversized coats and chunky shoes for spring, and simple flat sandals come summer.

Testing the tips, trends and latest launches in the world of wellbeing We explore if close glucose monitoring will really optimise health Whether it’s ditching oat milk or worrying about the Instagram biochemists who are warning us about the ‘dangers’ of fruit, a lot of people are obsessed with their blood sugar these days. This hysteria reached a crescendo earlier this month when a French biochemist released an anti-glucose spike supplement, only for it to be quickly condemned by GPs, diabetes specialists and nutritionists alike. Sophie Medlin, consultant colorectal dietitian and head of nutrition at Heights, says that even the term ‘glucose spike’ is scaremongering, explaining that blood-glucose fluctuations are normal for anyone who hasn’t been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes. “Our body has evolved to carefully manage glucose levels…
