For this week’s letter, we’re back with our regular series, ‘Listening, Reading, Thinking, Shopping’, which is essentially a glimpse inside my mind: open tabs, Screenshots folder, Search History, notes app, etc. These round-ups are a carefully curated compilation of things that I’ve seen and have been inspired by over the course of the week or so. This edition includes the podcast episode that I’m currently listening to, by an old acquaintance who once published me in the (now-defunct) Lucky magazine; my current favourite Instagram page all about slow travel and life in Italy; more butter sculptures, a must-see art exhibit in London, and other recent inspirations and observations.

Whether you're a long-time fan awaiting its return or a curious newcomer, you can listen to

It’s leopard season! Or in this case, cheetah. Leopard print has made several comebacks over the years, as it's a timeless pattern that often resurfaces in fashion. Most recently, leopard print saw a strong resurgence in the Fall/Winter 2018 season, becoming a major trend on runways and in street style. Designers like Tom Ford, Victoria Beckham, and Dolce & Gabbana incorporated the print into their collections, making it a staple. This season, it’s back, and if you’re looking for a good place to start, we’d say it would be with this coat (although this one is good too.)
