SALI HUGHES' SEVEN THINGS
Journalist, broadcaster and RUM Co-Founder Sali Hughes is looking forward to lighting her favourite candle, slipping into cosy Uniqlo wide-leg trousers and settling in with a steaming cup of tea and a Wispa Gold this autumn.
DR ALTHEA 345 REIEF CREAM MIST
This might well be my favourite mist of all time. Apply it whenever your skin feels or looks dull, tired or parched, and watch it instantly come back to life with glassy, ungreasy moisture. I’m on bottle number three.
I always lose gloves and so I rely on these merino tops with integrated mitts to keep me warm all autumn and winter. They’re flattering, endlessly versatile and warm. I’ve built up quite a collection of them over the years and always look forward to seeing this season’s colours. I wear them with everything. My forever staples
This is an elite chocolate and I will now actively go out of my way for the select few shops that sell them. Must be served cold so the caramel becomes chewy, and with a large mug of tea, obviously.
I’m going back to my late 80s teens by wearing Argyle socks in jewel tones with old jeans, a big coat and a simple loafer. They just make me happy.
THE GREAT DICTATOR BY MATTHEW SWEET
What a riot. A scandalous, salacious, sometimes shocking and often hilarious romp through the life of the legendary romantic novelist, kitsch icon, English eccentric and all-round Piece of Work, Barbara Cartland. A deeply satisfying way to spend a rainy weekend.
L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil is one of my most used products and I lobbied for aeons to get its delicious true-almond scent put into a home or personal fragrance. Last year, we got this and it’s perfect - long lasting, far throwing and perfect for cosy, comfy winters indoors.
My two (adult) kids and I all have a pair of these unbelievably soft, cosy joggers for long haul flying, at-home pottering and general loafing around on a weekend. Comfort-wise, they just hit differently to others I’ve had. And if the doorbell goes or the dog needs walking, you can just about get away with looking like you got dressed.
