ON THE GO
In primary school, escaping the
stodgy packed sandwich was
a bragging right, but in 2019,
it’s just poor planning. Invest in
the chicest of lunch bags — think
butter-soft leather or printed
canvas — to make leftovers
feel fresh. Add a coordinated
drink bottle for extra cred.

The appeal of the book club —

LA-based women’s drug and
alcohol recovery program.

Your nanna was onto
a good thing – DIYing a
new-season knit is much
more rewarding than
simply adding to cart. A
kit from We Are Knitters

needles and pattern
you need to make it with
your own hands.
