30 Edits by Reena Simon
I've been scrolling for you to curate an Edit of handpicked interiors, fashion and travel, saving you time to sit back, relax, and keep on top of 'New In' to indulge a Scandi Lifestyle...
Welcome to this week’s edit! I can’t believe this is my 30th edit for you all, I am very happy with my little corner of the internet here on Substack and watching this community grow while sharing what I love the most… interiors, fashion and travel.
I think that lots of us perhaps dress like our homes, maybe unintentionally but I wanted to ponder this one. The way we dress does often reflect our subconscious preferences and comfort zones, which can be influenced by our living environment. For instance, someone who enjoys a minimalist, sleekly designed home might naturally gravitate towards clean lines and simple silhouettes in their clothing choices.
There is some science behind this phenomenon. Psychologists studied how our environment affects our behaviour and preferences, known as environmental psychology. Our homes play a significant role in shaping our comfort levels, mood, and sense of identity. When we dress, we often subconsciously draw from these influences, whether it's the colours, textures, or overall feeling of our living space. It's like we carry a piece of home with us wherever we go.

And to open this week’s Edit, I wanted to chat about a collection that seems like a natural move and I was excited to see it because I do like VB make-up. It is the highly anticipated debut of Victoria Beckham x MANGO.
I’ve selected a couple for this weeks edit, playing with the trend of softer fabrics as seen here. I think it has the ‘typical VB aesthetic’ offering a muted colour palette and simple silhouettes but when I shared on Instagram stories, there was a 50/50 reaction with many rightly pointing out that the sizing is problematic and not inclusive. If I was to personally buy anything, I would need to factor in a trip to the seamstress which is a given for me for a huge part of my wardrobe, being only 5ft 1 and a half (the half is very important!).
I’ve also found the perfect LUXE vs DUPE for those coveted bouclé lounge chairs all over instagram lately. As a paid subscriber, you gain exclusive access to this, and more handpicked products carefully curated for you. Whatever you’re looking for, there is something in this edit for everyone.
In recent years, the interior design world has seen a resurgence of Scandinavian design influences in modern interiors, and it's no wonder why. Brands like ferm LIVING and H&M have been at the forefront, showcasing their commitment to minimalism and cosy comfort. I have included a couple of pieces from these Brands in the EDIT and often do.

The cuffed trouser is everywhere at the moment, but make it a co-ord as showcased by Aligne and the look is instantly elevated.
