This week's edit - 13th June 2016

























Watch
Netflix has new seasons of Bloodline (already viewable) and Orange is the New Black (available from Friday), which puts a bit of a dampner on my social life for the foreseeable future.

Read
Mad Girl by Bryony Gordon is an unflinchingly honest read about the author's life and mental health.  It is important and heart-breaking but also very funny and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Listen
Ladyhawke's self-titled album from 2008 is one of my all-time favourites, and her new release Wild Things is my sound of the summer.

See
Yayoi Kusama is a fascinating artist and her immersive, thoughtful and perfectly instagrammable exhibition at Victoria Miro is a huge hit, with queues out of the door.  Go early to ensure you can get in.


This week's edit will be back on Monday 4th July.  Happy Holidays to me!

This week's edit - 6th June 2016















Watch
The Nice Guys is a real treat, with a sharp script and gorgeous costume and production design.  Ryan Gosling is hilarious, and somehow still hot in spite of his pratfalls and ridiculous 70s facial hair.  How does he do that?

Listen
My new favourite podcast is 'You Must Remember This'.  Hours of old Hollywood intrigue to keep me company as I walk around town.

See
I have yet to visit (gallery day tomorrow), but I am told that Martin Parr's exhibition of photography at the Barbican is fantastic and definitely worth seeing.

Read
I am thoroughly enjoying The House at Midnight by Lucie Whitehouse and, in a rare occurrence for me, I have absolutely no idea where the story is going.
