July, you've been a lot - but in a good way. Busy doesn't quite cover it, but here's what's stuck with me this month.
A reading room stocked entirely with queer literature, tucked inside an Aesop store. A cabbage (yes, a cabbage) baked and frosted until it passes for a cake. A cosy, intimate dark in Fitzrovia that's somehow fully booked on a random Thursday.
But the one that's properly stayed with me, a shoe shop in Shoreditch, about to go under, saved overnight because the owner's daughter put it on TikTok and the whole neighbourhood turned up for it. Community, doing what it does best.
So that's my July edit, a bit of design, a bit of food, a bit of "support your local shop or lose it." Exactly as a July edit should be.

What Inspired Me This Month

Some houses take years to get right. Where We'd Stay is a new series from Glassette where we ask the people behind exceptional places to stay - hotels, villas, houses, the occasional very good Airbnb - to walk us through what they made and why.
We're starting in Suffolk, at Melton Hall: a Grade II listed Georgian house on the edge of Woodbridge, sleeping up to 17, with a pool that (according to everyone involved) stops people in their tracks. It was three years in the making - a collaboration between Cassandra Stavrou, founder of Proper Snacks, and her longtime friend and interior designer Rebecca Sicardi, who spent those years sourcing art and furniture from independent dealers, avoiding big brands entirely, and commissioning two oak tables from a single fallen tree on the grounds.
Each instalment covers one property, question by question - the design decisions, the nearby spots worth knowing about, and the one thing guests always comment on. Places we'd genuinely stay. Starting here.

Where We'd Stay

Pinterest's 2026 wedding trends guide is here. In 2026, weddings are feeling less traditional and far more personal. Couples are moving away from polished perfection in favour of atmosphere, individuality and spaces that feel layered with character. Think candlelit pubs over formal venues, sculptural cakes, undone florals, analogue entertainment and tablescapes that borrow from intimate dinner parties rather than classic receptions. The modern wedding is becoming an exercise in world-building: expressive, cinematic and deeply reflective of personal taste, where every detail, from glassware to styling, feels curated rather than conventional.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is finally here, and we're taking the OG characters and imagining the homes they'd live in. So, which one are you?

Devil Wears Prada Characters

Gifting is one of those things everyone wants to do well and almost no one has time to think about properly. The Glassette Gift List is here to do the thinking for you - one considered edit a month, built around the moments that actually matter.
No endless scrolling. No panic buying. Just the right things, for the right people, at the right time.

May Glassette Gift List

This week, we turn to Marie Antoinette and its cinematic splendour for interiors inspiration.
A heroine of excess and escapism, her world is as expressive as her wardrobe - indulgent, playful, and impossibly ornate. Think lacquered pastels, sugared almond hues, and gilded detailing, where every surface feels dressed for the occasion.
Bedrooms become confectionery dreams of silk drapery and powder-soft florals, while tablescapes are layered with porcelain, ribbons, and fruit. There’s a sense of theatricality in every corner.
Bring a touch of Versailles fantasy home with pieces that feel decadent, decorative, and just a little bit undone.

Marie Antoinette Inspired

Our weekly Nice Things Edit is a curated Monday round-up of what we’re loving right now. From our favourite pieces on Glassette to a recipe, a watch, a read, a place to visit, a restaurant, and a gift worth bookmarking.

From enchanting table settings to bewitching touches throughout your home, every detail counts this Halloween - whether you’re entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet, atmospheric evening.

Halloween Tablescapes

Saint Laurent hosted a dinner at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival to celebrate Father Mother Sister Brother.
The event took place inside Palazzo Grassi, where Tadao Ando’s modernist design intersects with the Baroque palace. In collaboration with Bureau Betak, Saint Laurent arranged a fuchsia-hued tablescape: jewel-toned flowers and fruit spread across round crimson tables, set with white china, glass goblets, and platinum candlesticks. Here’s how we’d recreate the tablescape!

The Saint Laurent Dinner

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Big Mamma's Carlotta in Marylebone, drawing inspiration from its bold, iconic maximalist interiors to curate a striking collection of statement tableware and glassware. Our edit perfectly captures the vibrant, eclectic spirit of Carlotta’s design, bringing that same energy to your own dining experience.

It's not just setting the table. As we edge into the season of lighter evenings and gathering with friends & family, food stylist & creative director Kirthanaa Naidu shares all the ingredients of a great tablescape and tells us how to host a memorable dinner party that your guests will talk about for months after. Growing up in Malaysia, getting together and sharing food round the dinner table is a ritual that has been a pillar of Kirthanaa's days since she was young. She carries this love for hosting with her into life in London where she plans, styles, cooks for and hosts unforgettable dinner parties and events.

Writer, collector and founder of PIECES London, Olive Wakefield, shares her approach to curating objects for her home and why, for her, there are no rules when bringing a space to life.

This season we’re gathering together again and we want to make every occasion together feel extra special. Imogen Kwok creates beautiful and artful moments through food. She shares ways we can elevate simple hosting favourites - a classic G&T, bread and butter,  a lemon tart - to create a sense of ceremony to make our guests feel loved and appreciated.

Laura's Life Well Lived

We've always loved listening to stories about food and the role cooking and eating plays in our personal histories. The first meal we remember (creamy porridge with a dollop of jam!), our first experiences of the kitchen and the connections we make through sharing food with important people in our lives. 

Pull up a seat at the table with pastry chef and author Ravneet Gill as she takes us on a journey through her life in food and inspires us all to find our rhythm with cooking through the seasons.
