This month at beyond we have been mainly…..

SPRAYING

This autumn Jo Malone London launch their new fragrance, Hinoki & Cedarwood – a wonderful addition to their Cologne Intense Collection and one we’re loving. Inspired by faraway lands, the grounding presence of the Hinoki tree and the Japanese ritual of forest bathing, what’s not to like?

READING

Following on from the adventures of The Satsuma Complex, Bob Mortimer’s follow-up book Hotel Avocado sees Gary Thorn face more dilemmas as he weighs up whether to quit his legal job in Peckham and a life of pie eating to move to Brighton with his girlfriend as she launches a new hotel. But as you’d expect, it’s not all plain sailing.

VISITING

If you’re down in London, make sure to pop into the V&A where there are currently two exhibitions on that come highly recommended. Fragile Beauty: Photographs from the Sir Elton John and David Furnish Collection features a stunning array of photography from their personal archives while NAOMI: In Fashion is a must for fashionistas and offers a fascinating look at Naomi Campbell’s journey over the decades.

ESCAPING

If you’re looking for the perfect autumn getaway then head over to The Lakes and get yourself booked into Rothay Manor in Ambleside. This perfect little bolthole with amazing rooms and an award-winning menu will not disappoint and is one we can’t wait to go back to.

SOCIALISING

We’re loving the arrival of White Cloth Hall in Leeds – a haven of all-day food and drink stalls with an exciting mix of independents in this historical grade II listed building behind the Corn Exchange. Brought together by the team from Whitelocks, it’s well worth a visit and a great new addition to the city’s food and drink scene.

WAERING

When it comes to optical magic, Jimmy Fairly are our favourite brand and their new range of sunglasses and eyewear are right on focus. Head to their Leeds store in Victoria Quarter if you’re looking for the
spec-tacular.

PLANTING

If you’re after the perfect house plants, head to The Plant Point in The Corn Exchange Leeds or at Redbrick, near Leeds and lose yourself in the sanctuary of their wonderful world of leaves and foliage. Because what they don’t know about plants, really isn’t worth knowing.theplantpoint.co.uk
