Hi Sali I love this thanks . Totally unrelated but looking for pretty bras and matching big knickers that don’t cost a fortune but are better than the current selection at M&S , age appropriate I think for a late fifties lady who has smallish boobs sized 36 B .

Thanks so much Sali x

Coincidentally I asked for your advice for a wedding frock last year , you were so helpful and I eventually bought one you recommended at wyse but then another one you’d recommended went on sale at Me & Em so I now have two , the latter is my choice for the day , navy and cream silk with full skirt , it’s a beauty I would never have found had it not been for you so thank you so much for being so kind .

Wedding is next month , will send you a pic 💕

I like Dora Larsen underwear - they do very pretty big knickers and wonderful colour combinations if that’s your thing. Best bought in the sale though …

Already loving your content, thank you. I often can’t see for looking on big websites if that makes sense and really appreciate your curation😊

Love this! I've actually had my eye on number 5 for a while now...and after a cancelled trip to Paris last week (thank you, French Air traffic control) I think I deserve a bit of Parisian cool girl chic! Thanks for reminding me, Sali xx

I'd love to see TLDR on scented candles, mugs, cookbooks, writing pens, IKEA Marketplace items. Thanks!

I’d love some knicker recommendations please. Finally ordered some of the Skims bralettes today and began wondering about updating my knicker drawer as well. I can’t bear flimsy, baggy or any kind of high leg or tight ones, but do like feeling nicely tucked in and supported.

I also want at least three of these bags, including the sequin one which surprises me.

Same. I am not that girl. And yet.

White tee, slouchy jeans, massive sunglasses, and all kinds of footwear options. I’ve convinced myself of this and one other. Cheers.

Would love to know about invisible socks (as in you can’t see them when wearing shoes) that stay in place and do their damn job

Sliders or sandals (like Birkenstocks) would be good please! Also lamps.

Shouldn’t have opened this email. I did not need another handbag - let alone three that you now have me obsessing over….

To answer your question, I’d love your IKEA marketplace picks next. Your eye for function with a quirky edge will come into its own here.

Thanks Sali! I was already poised to treat myself to bag number 10 and I feel like your recommendation has given me the justification I had been looking for 😂 ordered!

Really looking forward to your curated stacks! I would love some suggestions for elegant evening dress. I only want to buy one which will be timeless and elegant and can use for black tie events, smart work events etc! This may be too niche a request :)
