Do you know what the world needs? Yet another hot take on a TV show based almost entirely on the sprinkling of flowers on food. All types of food. Am I up to the task? I am.

Are they jeans or are they tracksuit pants? This is the most urgent question of our time and so it came to be this week when my whimsical 'jeans' delighted and upset people in equal measure. Sometimes I think I get dressed just to troll Jessie and Holly.

At the start of 2024, I began taking outfit selfies to try and keep track of looks I liked so I could remember them and revisit. Somehow, the act of documenting my outfits feels very soothing to me. I have no idea why. Vanity? The illusion of control at a time when every damn thing feels utterly out of control?

Now though, it's finally time. And a big part of the reason why it's time is because I've needed to find the right hands to take the wheel of this show that means so so much to me. You can also listen to my announcement in full below… Post continues after audio. I've found those hands, in our executive producer Naima Brown who I've been working with for a while now, and — of course, No Filter's new host, Kate Langbroek.

Welcome to a new yearwhere nobody's hair is on fire and the world has commenced 2025 at a leisurely pace with almost no news and nothing to talk about.

This week, I delivered the most challenging speech I've ever had to write. This was a plot twist because I am usually very comfortable with public speaking and I love a stage and a mic. So why did I totally psych myself out?

Usually, when a woman says she has nothing to wear, it means she has nothing that fits with the person she wants to be on that day or for that occasion.

Every year, most media companies all do a big-ass presentation to advertisers that's called an 'Upfronts'. It's our chance to showcase all the new content that's coming up next year and try and convince brands to send more of their ad dollars our way. Hype, baby, hype. The planning of what we present and how we do it is a whole thing which I'll go into another time but today, I want to show you a small part of that planning: how I decide what to wear.
