Plus: 'Motherhood is a trap'
| | | | | Tracksuits and a Birkin bag. A t-shirt, paired with a diamond necklace. Jeans, with a sweeping wool coat on top. As Emma Spedding explains from Fashion this week, a clashing “low-luxe” style is all about contrast – showing off your favourite party dress but from the comfort of your running trainers. Read her piece for more advice on achieving that “unexpected blend of luxury and leisure”.
Elsewhere, Celia Walden speaks to French feminist Corinne Maier about her controversial new book, #MeFirst! A Manifesto For Female Selfishness. She explains why selfishness does not come naturally to women but that happiness is impossible without it – her advice includes “minimise the time you devote to others”, give up “trying to maximise your child’s potential” and “escape the role your mothers were trapped into playing”.
Plus, Robin McElvie writes from the Scottish island of Arran, a place “that constantly over delivers”. With its sweeping, Caribbean-esque beaches and wildlife, the island makes a spectacularly beautiful family holiday, couple's adventure, or simply a weekend getaway.
