The SheerLuxe Podcast

Is getting back with your ex after ten years romantic or a relationship red flag? This week on the LuxeGen Group Chat, we're getting into Ariana Grande’s rekindled romance with ex-boyfriend Ricky following their hard launch online. We also need to talk about the rise of spicy novels and ‘romantasy’ books, with BookTok turning the fantasy romance genre into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. From ‘A Court of Thorns & Roses’ to Kindle-worthy reads that have everyone blushing, why are we all so obsessed?Plus, two new words of the year have landed – and they're giving Gen Z. We discuss whether the slang really deserves the recognition and reveal the words we'd nominate ourselves. Jade Jemima also joins us to share the story behind her new brand, Olarié, and why she wanted to bring a more bohemian, fashion-forward aesthetic to ski wear. Expect more pop culture hot takes, fashion discoveries and all the things currently on our radar.Which topic are you most invested in?

Would you pay £100 for a Zara coat in a charity shop – and is vintage shopping losing its appeal? This week on the LuxeGen Group Chat, we're getting into the debates everyone has an opinion on, from the rising prices of second-hand fashion to whether resellers are ruining the thrill of finding a proper vintage gem. We're also unpacking the latest Tom Brady, Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls drama and figuring out who's really in the wrong.Plus, are brands getting more adventurous with their ambassadors? We're looking at unexpected campaigns featuring comedians, including Bowen Yang for Estée Lauder and the SharkNinja collaboration you wouldn’t expect. Plus, how did John Summit turn a suitcase-burning moment into a job title with Away? We also debate whether pedestrianising Oxford Street will make it a better shopping destination – or just even more crowded. Then there's the big relationship dilemma: would you ever date a friend's ex? We round things off with what we're wearing and loving right now, plus a very enthusiastic ‘Hunger Games’ discussion.

Is filming yourself crying on Instagram an authentic confession or a social media ick? This week on the SheerLuxe Podcast, Charlotte is joined by Mia and Josh to debate the messy world of public break-ups and the cultural moments taking over this week. First up, the team get into the madness of the online queues for the British Museum’s Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, before Josh reveals the latest update on his £5 Etsy with money spell. Next, the team share the BBC dramas and documentaries they’re hooked on – and Josh also brings historical gossip to the table from Lucy Worsley’s new tour, including how Queen Victoria basically invented modern wedding culture. Later, the conversation turns to why season three of Netflix’s ‘Nobody Wants This’ has won them back, followed by a debate on People’s Sexiest Man Alive and that toe scene in ‘Fellow Travelers’. Finally, the team break down their winter investments – from Charlotte’s Magda Butrym faux-fur scarf to Jolie filter showerheads and LED masks – before surviving a spicy Halloween game of trick or treat.AD | Podcast includes paid promotion with Bob BeautéShop The Signature Satin Lipstick | ⁠https://bobbeaute.com/en-gb/shop/the-satin-signature-lipstick⁠  PANELCharlotte Collins | https://www.instagram.com/charlotteleahcollins/ Miu Miu Glasses | https://on.ltk.com/+3FG76QZg-dMAKMHeKQx5jA Khaite Leather Ankle Boots | https://on.ltk.com/+qTezRqcd3jhRrPa8ghQDHw Josh Smith | https://www.instagram.com/joshsmithhosts/ M&S Ombre Cardigan | https://on.ltk.com/+T-KonEcTqbU7cTpNlHCo5w Reiss Shirt (Similar) | https://on.ltk.com/+GROKrfNYFcixldvb5Tnq8A Reiss Linen Trousers | https://on.ltk.com/+ou4K5aEf_erSF0NOWPJbCg M&S Leather Penny Loafers | https://on.ltk.com/+MGXIqQrpW3kl6wqvVGnI1w  Mia Luckie | https://www.instagram.com/mialuckie/ Source Unknown Rufus Short Trench | https://sourceunknown.com/en-gb/products/rufus-caped-short-trench-beige H&M Blue Light Glasses | https://on.ltk.com/+Gu75vp8uVnXOnnPlTzNZjA Flattered Monroe Leather Boots | https://on.ltk.com/+z1CvoS9E5tNksnN2K3lkaw THINGS WE LOVEBBC 2 ‘Secrets of the Bayeux Tapestry: Inside the Museum’ | https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00303gc Inside Claridges | https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pbjfs Time | https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p09fs2qh/timeFurious | https://www.disneyplus.com/en-gb/browse/entity-5d4924b7-1cde-47c3-8852-f30bdd7fe979Blame | https://www.itv.com/watch/the-blame/10a3705‘Six Wives With Lucy Worsley’ | https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0854cjm‘Nobody Wants This’ | https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81591296SHOPPINGCOS Leopard Bucket Hat | https://on.ltk.com/+pbyJwZNcbe1l4iuFgUQVYw COS Brushed-Wool Blazer | https://on.ltk.com/+h46wXWx1N3mF15OzH5r1rQ The Jolie Filtered Showerhead | https://on.ltk.com/+TWAutrxqKrQlxu8fioe7ZA Flowlight Laser Mask Ultra+ Four Waves | https://flowlife.com/en-GB/product/flowlight-laser-mask-ultra-plus Magda Butrym Scarf | https://on.ltk.com/+p8nNq_MODnlICxtjT8bpMQ The Frankie Shop Snood | https://eu.thefrankieshop.com/products/ginevra-faux-fur-snood-camel Fellow Travelers | https://www.channel4.com/programmes/fellow-travelers

Why are men finding it harder to make friends and has Britain developed a problem with ambition?This week on the SL Man Podcast, Harvey and Tunde are joined by author, broadcaster and presenter Jack Guinness for a candid conversation about modern masculinity, male loneliness, personal style and what it really means to be successful.Jack shares his thoughts on why ambition can feel uncomfortable in Britain, why we should celebrate people who want more from life and how our attitudes towards success shape the way we see ourselves. The conversation also turns to male friendship, the realities of making meaningful connections as an adult and why finding your people matters more than ever.Elsewhere, Jack discusses creating ‘The Queer Bible’, the importance of understanding queer history and why representation and visibility are so important. He also reflects on the relationship between identity and personal style, from dressing for yourself rather than following trends to whether modern menswear is becoming too uniform. Expect honest opinions, plenty of humour and a thoughtful conversation about friendship, identity, ambition and finding confidence in who you are.Get SheerLuxe Straight To Your Inbox, Daily | http://sheerluxe.com/signupTIMECODES:00:19 – Meet Jack Guinness: author, broadcaster & host of The Queer Bible02:21 – Jack's Queer podcast and the cultural moments that shape us06:21 – Male loneliness, adult friendships & finding your community11:08 – What we're loving: Netflix films, celebrity interviews & entertainment13:54 – Is it embarrassing to be ambitious?17:39 – Could classical music make London commuters happier?19:30 – The Elizabeth Holmes documentary everyone's talking about22:01 – Dilemmas: should you pretend to be surprised by your surprise birthday party?36:41 – The story behind The Queer Bible: queer history, identity & belonging41:00 – Jack's style rules: timeless dressing, fashion icons & men's fashion crimesLinksPANELHarvey James | https://www.instagram.com/harvjam/ Loafers | https://on.ltk.com/+vLd2d0Kpixes3d_gNyok5AJack Guinness | https://www.instagram.com/jackguinness/ Ralph Lauren Blazer (Similar) | https://on.ltk.com/+F5EViV-ahXWMsS-xIcqMVwLevis Jeans | https://on.ltk.com/+XMC8bDVwlZyjp4PvUbzi3ADrake’s Tie | https://on.ltk.com/+P9IdkCf9vfAz5TCYRXw1XwTunde Ogunsina | https://www.instagram.com/tundeogun/Men’s Baggy Jeans | https://on.ltk.com/+q3hidR8m1VXax6PCXBXMnQRiver Island T-shirt | https://on.ltk.com/+qrnhw4TvT9YfDIqZBAW2jwTimberland Boots | https://on.ltk.com/+BLyHD12jycjN4nDTrV7k7w Queerphoria with Jack Guinness | https://open.spotify.com/show/0c3MJLDA1vwz7Mh6U5Wn1e Le Chameau Wellington Boots | https://www.lechameau.com/products/mens-vierzon-jersey-lined-wellington-boot-oxbloodThe Fourteenth | https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81908710The Further Adventures of Cliff Booth | https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/82054606The Queer Bible | https://www.queerbible.com/East of Eden by John Steinbeck | https://www.waterstones.com/book/east-of-eden/john-steinbeck/david-wyatt/9780141185071 The Castle by Jon Ronsoon | https://www.waterstones.com/book/east-of-eden/john-steinbeck/david-wyatt/9780141185071com/book/the-castle/jon-ronson/9780241754771Murder in 68 | https://www.waterstones.com/book/murder-in-paris-68/edward-chisholm/9781800962675Dishoom Borough | https://www.dishoom.com/borough/Bayeau Tapestry Exhibition | https://www.britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/bayeux-tapestrySalman Toor: Someone Like You Exhibition | https://courtauld.ac.uk/whats-on/exh-salman-toor-someone-like-you/SkinCeuticals P-Tiox Serum | https://on.ltk.com/+5Lfj4D3kp3h1DpzdgE52QwSkinCeuticals SPF | https://on.ltk.com/+9Ih5UUzQSlBwo-XMGbNhWQWillow Smart Indoor Plant Sensor | https://on.ltk.com/+5BZVlr0se9oFhxMGfoaPpw
