0:00Music

0:15Hello everyone and welcome to another pretty busy vlog. Pretty busy is a holiday. um this is a trip i have had booked for the longest time we are at the atlantis royal and honestly guys it is the best hotel i've ever stayed in like if you are thinking of like doing a couple nights here or um just coming here on holiday please do it is breathtaking we i'm only like this is like day two we checked in yesterday um but it's just incredible like i'll give you a little tour of our room so this is our view and this is the palm obviously this is all the atlantis the water parks over there which we go into tomorrow this is the room that i should have definitely given you a tour of before me and josh trashed it but yeah just obsessed with this hotel had the best night's sleep ever um we went to carbone last night didn't love carbone i don't know if i'm an unfair judge because it just immediately i just thought oh i'm just sad i'm not in new york um and the food was just a little bit bland but even in new york i've had like really crap i've had a really rubbish meal at carbone and then another time it's been absolutely brilliant um but last night i just thought the food was really bland and it was just i don't know like i think if someone's coming here for if i think if someone's coming here for dinner their greek restaurant milos is amazing and um we're trying no when it opens again i want to try lingling which is their chinese restaurant so i kind of think like the restaurants they have themselves are better than carbone but i think obviously people like to go to carbone because it's carbone josh has gone to the gym i'm going to meet him at breakfast i will definitely take you to breakfast because the atlantis breakfast here is amazing i actually did it i come here for the day on my birthday and it was honestly like the perfect birthday i took my mum i brought my mum and dad here and we just had the best day starting at the breakfast and then we went down to noby what else have i got to do i don't know what else have i got to do i don't know i'm on holiday as i said i've had this trip booked since october last year so the atlantis kindly gifted us a three night stay which is insane like me and josh cannot believe it like we were so excited yesterday um and we just can't believe it so i'm just enjoying it i've had to rebook this a million times um so yeah we're truly truly on holiday and we're gonna just go sit by the pool i'm really excited to just relax we're we're launching the second drop of chic today but i'm just gonna like check in at the end of the day um and see see how it's going a lot of the times with these like new category launches i mean there's no real pressure anyway obviously we always want the collections to do really well um but with these like seasonal drops it is more like we want her to be able to just browse odd news one day and get these things not necessarily like have to like do a massive like log online at the 9am for like a jumper and however the longline Nick Cardi's are very much in that position we have barely any stock and so yeah I've taken all the fake tan off my face is what I'm realizing now um okay see you soon guys I could get used to this.

4:04Joshy, how's your day? Huh? How's your day? Are we on camera? Yeah. Oh, you're such a tart. What are we doing? You're such a tart. What's your finger? He was like... Hold on a minute. Do it again. Oh, gosh. No, come on. Do it again. Be serious. I'll show you about my day. How was your day? Yeah, it's been good. He doesn't speak louder than that. Yeah, it's good. Chillin'. We need to order some lunch. We're at Nobu by the beach and it is just bloody good. Go on then. Look, camera's out. We want to have a drink. Go on, I'll have a beer. They do gnome beers here. Yeah, let's get a gnome. Yeah, let's get a gnome.

4:44And then shall we get a food menu? Yeah. I could do some little bites. The crispy rice here isn't good. We'll have it at the actual restaurant. You don't like crispy rice. but they brought it out last time as a full on burger. There was a big disc of tuna on a big disc of rice. I like to put the amount of tuna I want on a little square.

5:11Sushi as well, we can get some cucumber macchi. What about some tempura roll? Or like chicken roll?

5:26And then, is it recording? Yeah. And then we've got, actually just us, because we nearly missed our dinner reservation last night. So I've actually asked ChattyMT to put all the itinerary that they prepared for us into my Google Calendar, because I just keep missing it. I actually need to check on the Chic launch. I think the Long Cardi's sold out, and I'm having such good people reply to my story about them. like rochelle melissa's wardrobe and i'm like shit we're sold out so i have none to gift it is now thursday we have just had the most fun day at the water park and i'm sensitive skin girly so the chlorine has majorly broke me out which is really annoying because i was filming my the sun in general just just breaks me out i don't often put my face in the sun um i've had a good time and life is for living my skin will be fine next week um i'm actually going to get my hair blow dried downstairs which i'm hoping that they have a like k18 treatment or just something because i got brand extensions and i've just done the thing that you're just told absolutely not to do and that's to like get them wet in like chlorine so that's fun i'm not gonna lie i've come back from the water park day and i have one million whatsapp messages and every single message has like a time like deadline on it like i need to reply so i'm just gonna go downstairs get my hair blow dried reply to everything do everything tomorrow's friday i'm just gonna catch up all on the weekend um it's the found attacks when you have a couple days off or even a day off there's nothing that waits um but it's fine it's all exciting stuff and it's all just stuff that i need to sit down and i can do on my phone and that's what i'm so grateful for because before with odd music used to literally be like life or death come home now you need to sort this so the fact i just need to like sit down on my phone and just like send some things out and do this and send this and share this it's good problems but yeah we're booked in nobu tonight which i'm really excited for i haven't been to nobu here in years um the pr lady here was telling me that it's completely changed it's in like a new part of the hotel and it's in the other atlantis i'm super excited um and the pr lady from atlantis literally we met her last night and she was just like we love odd news in the office like you're a mini celebrity in the office we just love everything you do we want to work with odd news as much as possible and i was literally like that is mental like this is one of like the like biggest hotels in the world and they love odd news like it is really really crazy to think about odd muses reach and like how many people know about odd news and how many people love odd news and the fact that that these conversations happen even outside of the uk it's just honestly it's just really really mental like i really was like took a moment when we spoke to her yesterday and I was like that is mental that a hotel like this even know of odd news let alone are just saying what they were saying okay I just got my hair done it was insanely quick it literally took them 30 minutes which I love I'm just waiting for Josh because he went in the sauna wow I was there I can't wait to put some makeup on guys like i am i the only one who like when they go on holiday they don't look sun-kissed they look like sun-punched i look terrible after a holiday like i feel great but i look terrible like all my fake tan comes off because i'm just having a good time in the water and and my skin just reacts to the sun but anyway it doesn't matter my hair looks good i was gonna get a k18 treatment but they wanted like 900 dirhams which is like give or take like 200 pounds i'm just gonna order my little 18 pound treatment and do it myself at home um a little shampoo and conditioner was fine for now definitely still feels dry so i will do that treatment tomorrow but yeah there's a man modeling in a dressing gown and i can only assume that it is Josh

10:23I was just updating the vlog I don't know how to work this bloody camera annoys me yeah well let's go get ready for dinner huh okay what a difference Victoria Beckham foundation makes. It's got that went down in, isn't it?

10:48Right, my skin's feeling better. My hack when I go away from travelling or I'm getting too much sun is this Dermalogical Mask multi-vitamin power recovery mask. It's just like a drink for your skin. the thing i can compare it to is the summer fridays jet lag mask but i do think this is a lot better um but i don't use this all the time it's only when my skin is like stressed like whether it's had a reaction or um i've been traveling and it's super super dry um so yeah hopefully we'll use that again tonight and we'll be all good hello guys we're no longer at the atlantis um i'm the worst vlogger in the world um but it was just so amazing like if you're in dubai or i don't know like it may try and get like a night or two at the atlantis if ever you're like passing through because that was amazing i literally like it was heaven um and we've made it a tradition to go back once or twice a year i've actually booked my parents in for two nights in october and i'm debating whether to put me and josh in um but anyway it is a monday morning i am off to pilates and then meeting someone for a coffee and then i've got my first working day in my new home office which i'm so excited about just so excited because i just feel like i've been working from home a lot a lot last year too much last year and a little bit of this year and And it's all just been on the sofa at the kitchen table.

12:33And the one thing I love about work from home is you can get a lot of deep work done. And I feel like I've not really had that environment with my work from home offices for literally the last forever. whereas i just know i'm gonna sometimes founders do just need a place where they can literally be comfortable for like 10 12 hours and just have like a day where we just get loads done and i've been missing that for ages i get so distracted like downstairs um just like if there's people around or dogs and stuff like having just like one area to just go to i feel like it's gonna be game-changing i'm really excited um and also where i've been traveling a lot it's nice to just have somewhere where i can get that work done i can be sat at my desk but i can still be at home because i feel like this summer i barely had any time at home now i am traveling on wednesday um so i always get anxious at the beginning of the week when i travel because i just this home has healed me so much and i hate leaving it to be honest um so yeah but i've got a really exciting week i've got a really busy week um i am flying to london i have the mob land premiere which kind of come up very last minute um but it really just works with my schedule which is quite rare um so i've got that and then the next day i'm flying with all my friends to marbella because and one of my friends is getting married so it's a hen do and then i'm flying back to london with everyone and i have a full-on week at work we've got pretty busy filming with guests we've got the odd muse impact lunch we've got the odd an odd music party for the chic season we've got a staff day like a full-on 40 people in london presenting the whole of 2027 strategy so when i get home next Thursday I will be horizontal for the Friday and the entirety of Saturday and Sunday because it's gonna be a hectic two weeks leave going it's gonna be hectic next ten days and and then hopefully I have got to go back for the wedding and I did book a box for J Cole for me and all my friends and and i timed that terribly so i'll be going back to london twice in october and then i'm just like hoping for a blackout to be honest like i don't want to travel jan feb march i don't want to travel in november or december i don't know why i did it that way um yeah i'm just really hoping i don't have to travel over the winter because i just i want to be at home oh he's cleaning the car oh sorry i'm going oh okay okay that was so hard um what the hell um ow i hurt i've started doing these like really long walks with josh of an evening there's no good place to sit you down i've started in these really long walks with josh of an evening and um

15:59like malfunctioning that was the biggest mistake of my life going on an 8k walk at night and then waking up and getting to an 8am pilates class like my legs were like i was doing a lunge and i'm like shaking bear in mind it was like my first class back as well so i basically set myself up for failure but i had i listened to a very long voice like that. A brand director sent me on Friday. I've got some work to do when I get home, but I'm going to enjoy this coffee. And then I'm going to get working in my office. I really hope that my screen comes today. What's the vibes? Right, I'm going to go enjoy my coffee and I'll come back to show you this office that I fear that I've really hyped up now.

16:44Okay. When you think like an athlete, setbacks don't stop you. But mindset alone doesn't get you moving again. That's where Icy Hot steps in. Ice works fast. Heat makes it last. So when the rest of the world settles because of a setback, Icy Hot accelerates your comeback with fast-acting, powerful pain relief. Icy Hot. You're so back. Guys, so I'm in my office. My screen has just come. And I think it's far too big but we're going to set it up anyway. I'll show you the office. We basically, I had this furniture custom built and the idea is there's going to be like a nice sofa bed here so it can kind of double up as a guest room.

17:34But it is in fact an office. oh let me really set the scene for you and turn the lights on um the desk is floating so like when the bed comes out i can just take the chair out and it is a full-blown guest room but yeah i just i'm really excited for this i just feel like i think i mentioned it on another um clip but i just feel like i'm gonna have some really like long productive days here i have ordered a massive monitor though i really thought that 32 inch was going to be a normal size monitor but this box is massive and it's from my good friends at samsung i was um looking up the best monitor and everyone was saying that smart monitor and then i thought this kind of doubles up as a bit of a TV when guests come.

18:29I have one guest room and then this room that's kind of like the office. So obviously most of the time when people come they'd stay in the full blown bedroom next door but this is like when I have like a full house for Christmas it just means like we have the room. But we have this room set up as we just have both these rooms set up as a guest rooms and And what I was finding is we literally wasn't using this half of the house because it was just constantly set up for guests and we don't have like guests every single month or every single week. And there's a balcony of the front of the house which we actually really love to sit when we first moved here we would sit there on most evenings.

19:11So I just feel like this is going to allow us to just use this half of the house. Right. lots of wires I really hope I like this but it looks massive

19:34I mean I'm also impatient and I've told myself I can't do a day's work until this is done now i know in my head i'm like okay it's not that bad the box looked way scarier it's not that bad at all how do we sit out then because i'm not reading not reading instructions

20:05we renovate your house and i'm trying to choose the kitchen but i just don't have a thing right that's joined trade and then looking at traffic versus conversion rate and conversion rate it wasn't the main issue last week we did see it finished three percent higher than our six week average obviously it would be good to see that higher and on a launch week we would want to be higher than three percent above the six week average but it was improved sessions however were a bigger drain for us so again just ties in with the volume constraint we've got an improved welcome flow now we've got better newness coming up we've got more like we've got a really high return return customers so was okay guys I am really loving my new office I'm having quite a productive day it's literally half four but I feel like I had quite a late start and I like to kind of do UK hours really on a Monday anyway so I'm gonna be in here till a little bit later tonight and but yeah I'm like halfway through my day and I'm having a great old time and I randomly booked a call with a wedding planner and I'm about eight minutes away from this call I'm kind of like oh I don't know like it's not if I do do a wedding this is the lady that I want to use and she actually does all of Stephen's events and Stephen's CEO recommended her to me and I met her in Cannes and i feel a bit unprepared for this call because she's gonna ask me what i want and i'm gonna say don't know like i'm literally like you choose i don't mind we have gone back on full a million times over and and the main thing that scares me about a wedding is like the prep and just like not having the time also just not having the time to like prep personally like you know all these girls literally go on like a skincare journey for like a whole year and they like focus on themselves like i just have such a crazy travel routine so i'm kind of like in and out of those routines um i just never want to feel like it comes around really quick and i don't feel like my best self and then also i just feel like people go so hard like the wedding industry is so intimidating and at the same time I'm like am I gonna get older in life and regret not doing this my sister's wedding was literally like my family's like best weekend of our lives like everyone says it was on the best way never such good memories it was amazing and so I'm half like do I want it to be like more for memories i don't know at the end of the day it has to be what you want right but i don't know we were debating whether to just do like registry office nice dinner nice lunch and then do like a party at a hotel in london after but i just feel like our wedding mine and josh's wedding to do a uk london wedding is so off brand for us because we haven't lived in the uk this is our second year not living in the uk we feel like our life really begun when we left the uk um obviously we was in new york last year and it just feels really off brand just feels really off brand um which i'm maybe i'm overthinking that this is not pretty or busy um

23:43it's what time is it it's 6 30 on a monday i have a couple more hours that i need to put into this shift because i started so late i really need to pack for my upcoming trip because i have a hen do i have the mobland premiere i have which i'll take you to on this vlog i have our team day i have a pretty busy filming day where i have like three or four guests so i feel like i do need to change my outfits a little bit i have ordered a grotesque amount of clothes to the new bond street store and i realize i haven't told the new bond street team um i've done a really big reformation order i did i got these like suede culottes from massimo duty that i just i know the cost per wear in a pair of culottes for this girl because i just love them so much um and i actually did a little zara order i have a pair of trousers from there that i really really like and i've seen that this season they've bought them out in every color so i was like okay i'll grab them like i love a funky trouser so i literally got them in white in black i got them in like as many colors as they did and i think that's all i got on zara i average like one or two zara orders a year i went in there the other day and i bought loads of the vest tops i've washed them and they're all gray and horrible so that's kind of why i don't do it but yeah i do have some options at new bond street so i need to just like plot and plan what i want to wear a lot of the events i actually do want to wear odd muse we've got like two two odd muse events and to Mobland I think I need to help Muse.

25:31Right now I'm just sending an email connecting Isabel with some buyers because I just feel like some of the brands that we stock of Musing need to get on agenda and I doubt I'm talking to an audience that doesn't know my friend Isabel but she just launched a like luxury planner brand and i honestly think all of our friends can vouch for i wouldn't say underestimating it but we did not i definitely didn't think that it was gonna like be this successful this quickly like just purely because it is expensive and she actually didn't show anyone the product or the price or anything until launch day like that is like hats off to her like that is just that is just like blueprint like she's just done so so well like even with all our odd news event events even with all our odd news launches we always like give people a week to like check the prices out and see what they see what they want to buy see what's like priority for them um and yeah the reaction has been amazing and also the rollout has been amazing like there's so many influencers that come out with brands that genuinely don't need to do that much because their audience is there they just need to like make a product they're passionate about and link it but you know isabel has done like a million shoots for this the content is like 10 10 like the launch video was amazing like i'm just so so impressed with her and so yeah i'm connecting her with some buyers because i just feel like they need to get this in before christmas because yeah i'm really excited for mine and she actually just said that she was packing my order today and she left me kind of like we're actually quite known for like being quite horrible to each other so she left me quite a horrible note um and someone had to say like she actually nearly sent it to like quite a big new york city influencer so i'm glad that um that got rectified and another influencer did not get the note that she was gonna send me hello guys um we are back in what i did call the powder room last time we was here oh what's going on with my hair but this is definitely the packing room like this is just where my suitcase always is i'm actually gonna put you down here so yeah this is the packing room i'm traveling to London tomorrow and I had the whole day work from home to basically pack and sort my life out and I ended up just sitting on my laptop all day and not packing and not sorting my life out oh my god but I did just have my nails toes and hair done all at the same time and from the comfort of my sofa what a lovely treat I could get used to that I don't think I am the now is honestly the best I've probably had this year and okay I'm packing for Hendo, Premiere, three different events and I've also got some samples because we've got party shoot next week in London and it's all well and good telling me to like take some samples with me but Odd Muse is so thick and gorgeous it does take up quite a lot of your case um so yeah that's okay luckily I have a lot of clothes waiting for me in the UK I'm gonna wear the contrast midi tomorrow to the Mobland premiere um and I've done quite a few orders so I think I can just i don't need too much space i have got the one and only golden and the boo boo here it's a dark brown suede jacket and it's bloody gorgeous we shot it today um and i'll be taking it to the uk i'm gonna wear it next week to one of the events with um the cotton mix skirt and heels i think that'll be really really chic so that all of this is taking up half my case so i need to be a little bit strategic we also have this dress that i'll be wearing in my bag because we're doing a black night it's really cute it's like this backless little mini dress with a pale detail and we actually cut this from party last year because we couldn't get the fit right but i added it in this year and i'm very excited about that okay guys we are nearly ready for our trip to London.

30:14My body's not happy. I'm sorry. I've just got to basically do my skincare in the morning and then close my case. I've got to sell my airport bag out as well but I'm going to get up and do it. I always say this, my famous last words, I nearly missed this flight last time I was on it and I swore that I would never get the 7am flight again but here we are.

30:43Okay, and I just want to say before I go I had the most stereotypical fashion industry exchange and with a brand that we were supposed to be working with and Honestly, it's made me so proud of the culture of the views the way in which me and my team conduct us that well What did he channel down in my case and and yeah that's all i really want to say on that i just had a just insane experience with a company we were supposed to be working with i just in the last 24 hours i've learned how um rare it is to find like nice people in this industry like um and it's just made me proud to be one of them because you don't meet and you do not meet a lot of nice successful people and that has been my entire experience i've been told before i'm too nice and i just think how can you be too nice when there's people that are so bloody horrible but yeah that's all i'm gonna say on that and let's reconvene at the airport reconvene at the mobland premiere okay guys we have arrived in london um i'm at the londoner which is literally one of my favorite hotels in london but very convenient when you go to premieres because the premieres are always in odian on leicester square and it's literally right opposite i'm feeling like weirdly energized like it's 2 p.m in london but technically i was up at like 1 a.m london time to get my flight so i probably might fall asleep in this premiere but i'm just feeling really good i don't normally have such a good experience at Heathrow but I literally landed got my bag there was no traffic coming into London so I've got like an hour before hair and makeup start um which is gorgeous right let's order a coffee because somehow today I've managed to somehow today I've managed to do all this with no

33:00coffee hello could i please order a iced latte with two shots of espresso and then could i also get a bucket of ice and two champagne flutes

33:20two champagne flutes yeah

33:27that's it thank you this is so nice i do it in like a beige tweed and i really wanted a beige one but it sold out so annoying thanks for selling it out i can't get one yeah i had to ask in the in the store and they're like only large is left and we were like no i'm gonna come around to get some good life and that was the choreo coming to collect the amount was lovely oh let's throw behind your ears a little bit right what we're thinking let me put you in my shoes of cream I can't see the other ones. I love that dress. It's so nice. Do you do cream as a bit of a pop? Yeah. What are the other ones?

34:04You've got a third pair. They're just like glossed. Do you like the one? Oh, yeah, absolutely. I'll take them. Thank you. She's so generous. She's such a generous box. What do you think about the oats? Yeah, really like it. Really, really like it. Or do you want brown? Should I put the brown ones in? Put one of each in. You've got to keep them now.
