I have been on holiday for a week in Cornwall with the family. I’m refreshed (the body boarding was great), a little sunburnt and ready to blog again.
This week I have mostly been doing the following:
- Designing the October cover. On the cover is an iconic music star who I know you love because you keep asking me to put her on the cover. So I have.
- Watching the Olympics. I have tickets for dressage on Thursday, archery on Friday and the men’s diving and men’s 400 metres next week.
- Meeting Matches for an inspirational breakfast to discuss our London Fashion Week plans. @matchesfashion
- Chatting with September cover star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on Twitter about her second ELLE cover shoot.
- Admiring the fountains in the sun at Somerset House, where I met the British Fashion Council to take about our plans for ELLE’s Talent Launch Pad competition.
- Being photographed for The Times newspaper for a story about our ‘Edited by the Interns’ October issue, out on 5 September. The winning editor intern will be in my job very soon I suspect. She’s just filed her October editor’s letter and it’s very good.
- And wondering what Dougal is doing now because he is a huge hit on the cover of our accessories supplement, out now with the September issue. We’ll be running a fun ‘match the editor to their pet’ caption competition next week!

This week the editor recommends:
You subscribe to ELLE to get the amazing Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. It’s time I replaced mine.
Reading ELLE Collections again because I always miss tiny details
