78 | Australia Bans TikTok?! Angry Ginge’s I’m A Celeb Win & Is Lewis Hamilton The Next Bond…?

This week, we’re easing into full festive mode as Saroop is joined by Lola and India for a cosy, chaotic catch‑up.

Finally, they wrap up with Things We’re Loving, including how Charlotte Simone is taking over London, the underrated jewellery brands they’re loving, niche accessories on their radars, cosy investment pieces, *the* Abercrombie Christmas PJs to know and the small luxuries making December feel a little more special…Follow us on:Instagram | https://bit.ly/3X0xm27TikTok | http://bit.ly/3jvwlBEPodcast | https://open.spotify.com/show/60SxAVVuD3LrgLdlKuy3uH AD | Rabanne | https://www.rabanne.com/uk/en_GB/fragrance/p/fame--000000000065170087 Saroop Sangha | @saroop.k.s | https://www.instagram.com/saroop.k.s/?hl=en Adidas Originals Velour Track Top | https://tinyurl.com/3nt5xa4t Topshop Ember Low Rise Straight Leg Jeans | https://tinyurl.com/pmzk99e3 Dune Faux Fur Lined Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/uz8sxb2d Lola Lawlor | @lolalawlor | https://www.instagram.com/lolalawlor/?hl=en-gb M&S Burgundy Tights | https://tidd.ly/44ptKgZ Dr Martens Adrian Arcadia Leather Tassel Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/ekbvwcpa India | @indiaagy | https://www.instagram.com/indiaagy/?hl=en Topshop Everyday Tee | https://tinyurl.com/3k94hd7m Minka Dink Checked Trousers | https://minkadinklondon.com/products/checked-trousers Reserved Leather Cowboy Boots | https://www.reserved.com/gb/en/leather-cowboy-boots-177ff-99x HOT LISTGolden Globes Nominations | https://goldenglobes.com/nominations/2026 Abercrombie & Fitch Pyjamas | https://tinyurl.com/2nxmvbv4 Abercrombie & Fitch Sleep Jogger | https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/wd/p/sleep-jogger-61543819 Abercrombie Stella Artois Snapback Hat | https://tinyurl.com/26b2mf4p THINGS WE’RE LOVINGThomas Sabo Ring | https://www.thomassabo.com/GB/en_GB/pd/ring/TR2486-001-21-VG.html Thomas Sabo Charm Bracelet | https://tinyurl.com/48d3p8dt Thomas Sabo Goldbears Charm | https://tinyurl.com/58uxmx6p Goodhood Shoreditch | https://goodhoodstore.com/ b.Eautiful Tartan Hat | https://b-eautiful.com/products/b-e-hat-blue-plaid-white Hosted on Acast.
