Editor’s Note: Cheers To December!
Deck the halls, pour yourself a drink – it’s Christmas Eve! I thought this would be the perfect time to share a few of my favourite finds/highlights from this year.
One of the absolute highlights of this year has of course been launching Worn That Already – what a wild ride! It’s been crazy, but so much fun, and I honestly couldn’t have done it without your support. A massive thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey with me – you all made it possible! We’ve got some exciting things lined up for the new year, but for now, let’s dive into some of my top picks from 2024!
On the fashion front, I’ve been all about stocking up on basics more than ever – it’s seriously unlocked so many new outfit possibilities through shopping my own wardrobe. Groes is a brand that’s totally caught my eye this year – effortlessly cool, polished, and just all-around great. The micro headscarf and scarf detail trend? 100% one of my favourites. It’s so chic! And as for the piece I’ve worn the most? Definitely the Good Luck Barrel Leg Jeans from Free People. I’m thinking it’s time to grab them in a few more washes!
When it comes to food, a very recent open Don’t Tell Dad has quickly become one of my go-to spots – it’s only been open for a week, and I’ve already been there three times! If you’re after a seriously good pastry in London then this is your spot. Then, there’s Ria’s in Notting Hill, where they’re serving up the most unreal Detroit-style pizza. Oh, and I can’t forget Luigi’s Italian Deli on Fulham Road – another gem I discovered this year from homemade Italian pasta, to cantucci to tiramisu! This year, I finally made it to The River Café, and it lived up to all the hype – can’t wait to go back for a long summer lunch! And, this year we’ve probably had more Ladurée macarons than we should admit!

Estelle Manor was the ultimate staycation – definitely on the list to return. I’m especially keen to check out the spa, which wasn’t open when we were there earlier this year. Our list of hotspots is constantly growing, so we’ll be sure to share all the new favourites we discover in the new year!
Whether you’re celebrating Christmas or just enjoying the festive season, I hope you’re having a blast. We’ll be back on Boxing Day with our roundup of the best sale picks, so make sure to check in!
I’m signing off to go and make 150 mince pies to take to the local pub tomorrow for a festive cheers! Merry Christmas, catch you soon!
