I wish I could have been on set in New York with @naomismith and @jordanboorman for our Julia Garner cover shoot, but talking to her over Zoom while she was drinking coffee in bed was still pretty great. The January issue is out on Thursday, the perfect kick-start to summer holidays ☀️⛱️🍹 Talent: Julia Garner @juliagarnerofficial Editor: Georgie McCourt @georgiecmccourt Creative Director: Juanita Field @jneets Fashion Director: Naomi Smith @naomismith Photographer: Regan Cameron @regancameron_ Hair: Gonn Kinoshita @gonn24 Makeup: Charlotte Willer @charlottewillermakeup Manicure: Casey Herman @caseynails Fashion Assistant: Jordan Boorman @jordanboorman Creative Producer: Camille Peck / Eminente Creative Production: @eminente.art Production Assistant: Alex Rapine @alexrapine Wearing: @gucci Beauty: @guccibeauty

Girl dinner in Zahara de la Sierra @intrepidtravel @marieclaireau

On the way to Grazalema we stopped at Jerez de la Frontera, where my signature dish - a plate of cheese - is allowed (encouraged) for lunch (and dinner). 10/10 🧀😙🤌 @intrepidtravel @marieclaireau

Ate, walked and flamenco’d our way through Seville 💃🏻@intrepidtravel @marieclaireau

The sibling group chat today. @meganenglish_ @jacenglish @d_____english.mp3

Some content whiplash (in a good way) for your weekend reading: Gillian Anderson on women’s fantasies, Gina Chick on surviving in the wild, Arisa Trew the skateboarding queen, Sydney’s feminist swingers club, Kirsha Kaechele taking the patriarchy to the Supreme Court, what it’s actually like using a dumbphone (spoiler: annoying), and assigning cultural homework. All in @marieclaireau and @elleaus out now 🍸

If you’re going into your weekend thinking, “I want to read something that’s really long, really frustrating and will leave me feeling kind of hopeless,” try this article on the gender pain gap in the September issue of @marieclaireau (also online now). The gap is *real* and it’s hurting so many women unnecessarily. Thank you so much to @jacquelinelovett.nat for doing so much heavy lifting on this one, and to @madisonrgriffiths and @sarahfehlbergnaturopath for sharing your stories. And to @emhatton for the gorgeous ladies swimming in the crimson pool

I spoke to the hilarious artistic genius Kirsha Kaechele about her Faux-cassos and why gentlemen’s clubs can exist but MONA’s Ladies Lounge cannot. In @elleaus September issue and also online for anyone afraid of paper cuts

Freelancing was so fun, and I couldn’t be more grateful to the people who kept me in business for the past 10-ish months. The magazine industry is full of really good people. In saying that, I’m really looking forward to not have to do my own admin (maths) anymore. It’s ~so~ exciting to be back at both @marieclaireau and @elleaus, this time as features editor working with the brilliant @georgiecmccourt and @grceoneill. marie claire’s September issue is out now, and ELLE is imminent!
