Eat in...
... with Big Mamma Group's new delivery-only restaurant Napoli Gang
They lured us in with Gloria, they dazzled us with Circolo Popolare and now the group behind the stars of London's Italian restaurant scene have launched a new delivery-only venture Napoli Gang. Whilst pizzas and deserts are the stars of the show, there's also pasta, antipasti and sides on offer.
Cosy up...
... in the Saks Potts Jimi coat
Channel the slick style of Copenhagen's fashion set with this warm hug of a coat from cult Danish brand Saks Potts. Crafted from sumptuous caramel-hued shearling with soft fringing at the edges, it's the elevated, more elegant sibling of the Penny Lane coat and our winner this season.
The blockbuster exhibition...
...Bruce Nauman at Tate Modern
Provocative, raunchy, uplifting, darkly funny; Bruce Nauman’s work is all of these. Visitors to Tate Modern will be able to draw their own conclusions about Nauman's work this month, with an exhibition showcasing the full range of his 50-year career through more than 40 artworks.

Read...
... Inside Story by Martin Amis

The bijou exhibition...
... Isaac Beningson's The Ladies of Chiltern Street
Celebrated Marylebone bolthole Shreeji Newsagents has thrived on Chiltern street since 1982, recently reopening as a beautifully curated space for the cool and cultured. This month, London-based artist Isaac Beningson presents a body of work entitled 'The Ladies of Chiltern Street' within the space. Beningson says, 'As I have sat drinking coffee I have watched and observed the people of Marylebone, and in this exhibition I present some of my findings.'
Burn...
... Cos candles
Playful, sculptural candles are having a moment (think the fluid twists of Lex Pott and the topsy-turvy colourways of Hay's pillars). We love these new contenders from Cos home, which would look great atop your coffee table, both lit and unlit.
Silver screen...
... Rebecca
An anticipated adaptation of the classic Daphne du Maurier novel Rebecca, starring Lily James, Kristin Scott Thomas and Armie Hammer arrives on Netflix this month.
Sunglasses...
