‘SALEM’S LOT: TDS Book Club

sammijefcoate — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 15:10:46 +0000

Oh me oh my did I love this book. Firstly: I hadn’t quite anticipated the colossal size of this read. Apparently I rarely check print length on books online, unless it’s irl & I am using my eyeballs in a store. However my fear subsided when within mere pages, I was hooked. It’s been sometime […]

SAMMIWEEN: 13 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN

sammijefcoate — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 11:57:17 +0000

Hallowe’en has forever held a special place in my heart. As a true Libra baby, I adore the month of October in general & thrive as Spooky Season™ really kicks in come Oct 1st. Give me falling leaves, crisp mornings & fireside reading: thank you thank you. For the last few years, dressing up as […]

The Goodwood Revival

sammijefcoate — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 10:20:02 +0000

The Revival may not need an introduction for many, but for those that don’t know about this immense vintage-inspired race weekend, a little background information: The Goodwood Estate in Chicester has a historic racetrack that ran from 1948-1966 [closing August 1966] & then re-opened in 1998. There is much detail to appreciate of the track […]

HUNGER STONE: TDS Book Club

sammijefcoate — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 12:41:31 +0000

The first fifty pages (or so) had me very invested. The writing felt elevated; I was immersed in Lenore & felt her narrative was strong. I wanted to keep turning pages. I really enjoyed conjuring images of this specific Victorian period of England (alongside darker moody weather) and leaning into the gothic aura you would expect to with this type of novel.

CHERRY BABY: TDS Book Club

sammijefcoate — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 08:37:09 +0000

Being upfront, I can’t deny I have mixed feelings about this book. There’s a lingering feeling I have where I really, really wanted to love it [not sure why I feel this way so deeply]…alas, I just didn’t. The main character, Cherry, at first lured me in – I enjoyed her detailed outfit descriptions, her […]

LUCKY COLLECTION: TGF X SAMMI

sammijefcoate — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 09:36:54 +0000

The Lucky Collection has truly been one of the best projects I have worked on thus far this year. Creating the Hank & Dolly rings alongside a brand I adore (with the best people you can imagine) and shooting one of the biggest campaigns has all felt very ‘pinch me’. The planning for the shoot […]

WRECK: TDS Book Club

sammijefcoate — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 14:04:55 +0000

In early August I spent a few days in Cornwall with my family & close friends, and whilst there, finished up reading ‘Yesteryear’ faster than anticipated. This left me without a book for 2 whole days – which isn’t a position I am at all comfortable in. It lead me to seeking out a bookstore […]

The Downward Spine: join my Book Club

sammijefcoate — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 12:47:31 +0000

Today I awoke after precisely 3 hours of feather-light sleep, to decide that today is the day: welcome to my Book Club, The Downward Spine (yes, it's an NIN Downward Spiral reference, yes, I am utterly music obsessed, too)

I had not as of late had many thoughts about the Book Club situ (it was one on my mind last year) so it's beyond me why it has happened today, but here we are - I'm leaning into it.

TGF x Sammi THE LUCKY COLLECTION: Los Angeles

sammijefcoate — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 12:17:27 +0000

Proudly introducing my third collaboration with The Great Frog: The Lucky Collection. We’ve been working on two belt rings for the last few months. The Lucky Collection thus far features two vintage-inspired belt rings, with a nod to Western elements. ‘Dolly’ in 9ct Yellow Gold with sunburst-rainbow-gem details, and ‘Hank’ with mixed metal tooled-leather inspired […]

72 hrs in NYC

sammijefcoate — Fri, 01 May 2026 14:51:20 +0000

The delight of landing in New York to a powerful 27 Degrees Celsius is a marvellous situation: I adore spending a few days in this city. There is a certain energy in NY that I really relish – although granted it is especially when the sun is shining (but not into those July-August burning-heat levels). […]
