Candles evoke memories, lift the spirits and have a profound impact on our mood. Milkman Candles do all of this, and then some. Get to know the candle-makers blurring the traditional lines between masculine and feminine fragrance to create unique and distinctive aromas.

To say that we're fans of Kemi Telford would be a huge understatement. Her unique designs blend bold prints and loud colour mixes with elegant shapes and exaggerated feminine silhouettes, and we're totally in love. We asked Yvonne a few questions about her brand, her recipe for success and what the future holds!

Wedding season is here, a time for celebration, but it can also be a time for stress when it comes to figuring out what to wear as a guest. We're here with some tips on how to dress, and the trends we're expecting to see in 2023.

Slow and sunny is the initial vibe of August’s 34-track Boat Floaters selection, crafted with care for you, dear Meet Bernard customer. Tune in for laid-back reggae, African tunes, disco, Brazilian funk and plenty of jazz too. So go on, kick off those espadrilles, and shake it.

Travelling is hassle enough without having to piece together an ensemble that’s comfortable (yet stylish) enough to get you from point A to point B so we’ve gathered a selection of reliable, airport-ready fits to make your journey as plain sailing as can be. 

This month’s selection certainly has a beach-party vibe. The opening track, Fantasy Island, rather sets the tone. There is plenty of soul-funk, disco, fun tunes, old and new.

Brilliantly curated murals can be found hidden away throughout South East London, with more and more local artists being tempted to the South East by the creative community and the plentiful blank canvas walls.
