Almost Essential London

I have known Paola Langella for years and she is one of those people whose energy is completely infectious.

Whether through her online Pilates platform, Shapes Studio, or her one to one coaching, she has a wonderful way of making fitness feel approachable, enjoyable and sustainable. I always leave her classes feeling stronger, calmer and more positive.

If you are looking for someone to motivate and inspire you on your wellness journey, Paola is a great person to have by your side.

When your wardrobe feels overwhelming or just not quite you anymore, this is exactly the kind of help I would turn to. Emily Bees brings over 15 years of industry experience, from Condé Nast to ELLE, offering a completely personalised styling experience. Whether it is a wardrobe edit, personal shopping or a virtual consultation, she makes the entire process feel effortless.

I love that it is practical but still inspiring, helping you rediscover your style while making everything you already own work harder.

This articulated robot pendant by Van Robot is handcrafted in Italy in 18kt yellow gold, with a subtle mix of ruby, diamonds, amethyst, citrine and blue topaz. The movement in the piece gives it such personality, while the stone combination keeps it elegant and wearable.

I love how these instantly elevate a table without even trying, which is exactly why I chose them for our curated collection. 💚 The blue and green glass catches the light so beautifully, casting soft tones of azure and emerald while still feeling incredibly light in your hand. Made from borosilicate glass, they keep drinks cooler for longer, which I always appreciate.

The detail on the base is just the kind of subtle touch that makes them feel extra special.
