India Hicks for Tuckernuck

India Hicks, daughter of Lady Pamela Hicks (once Queen Elizabeth’s lady-in-waiting) and goddaughter to none other than King Charles III, is on a serious streak this season. Just six weeks after unveiling an illustrated biography of her illustrious mother, the ever-stylish, Bahamas-based British designer is back at it. This time for a limited-edition collection with none other than Washington, D.C. based retailer Tuckernuck.

Inspired by India’s effortlessly chic yet polished way of life, the 24-piece capsule brims with vibrant, whimsical designs tailored for the woman on the go. Tuckernuck’s signature blend of colorful, nostalgic pieces perfectly complements India’s aesthetic. Though her Bahamas lifestyle lends a relaxed, bohemian flair, her deep-rooted family heritage infuses the collection with an undeniably regal air.

Shot at Villa Verde—the elegant Palladian home her late father, legendary interior designer David Hicks, built in Portugal’s Algarve—the collection is brimming with statement pieces. Highlights include a fierce leopard-print jacket, vibrant maxis, chic blouses, beaded jewels, and the pièce de résistance, a puff-sleeve toile dress featured on both India and her teenage daughter.

Mrs. Alice’s Fall Collection

The leaves have started to change here in London, and I couldn’t be more excited. With the crisp air brushing my cheeks, I’ve got autumn entertaining on my mind. Mrs. Alice, a favorite at The Glam Pad, has just released her fall collection, perfectly timed for the season. Featuring three distinct tablescape themes—Joy of Autumn, Enchanted Woodland, and Chinoiserie Owl—the collection is perfect for fall gatherings, Halloween soirées, or Thanksgiving feasts. Even more enchanting, the collection was shot at founder Alice’s idyllic rural Welsh home, adding a charming touch to its debut. Take a look!

Fursatile’s Closing Sale

In 2015, a Cavalier King Charles puppy named Cooper stole the heart of Fursatile’s founder, Jenny Caulk, quickly making her home his own. Growing up, she had always admired the “picture-perfect” rooms in her mother’s magazines and learned to find beauty in everyday moments—whether in a well-made bed, a home-cooked meal, or a room filled with cherished objects. Inspired by her mother’s ethos of “living beautifully,” she set out to create stylish, versatile products that catered to both people and pets.

After years of perfecting designs, sourcing quality materials, and securing patents, she launched Fursatile in 2019. The brand’s innovative products, like Protective Covers and the patented Step Ottoman, quickly gained a following among interior designers, celebrities, influencers, and pet lovers. Fursatile has been featured in Oprah’s O List, House Beautiful, Virginia Living, Hamptons Real Estate Showcase, The Scout Guide, and more, fulfilling her dream of beautifully connecting people and pets.

Having started the brand after the unexpected loss of her father, Jenny was driven by the values he instilled—honesty, hard work, and determination. With the unwavering support of her customers, especially following the passing of her mother in January 2022, Fursatile grew into something truly special, fostering deep and lasting connections.

Now, after wearing every hat in the business, she’s made the tough decision to close this chapter. To mark the occasion, Fursatile is offering a 40% off sitewide sale, with no restocks—making it the perfect time to enjoy the brand’s signature products.

Though Fursatile is pausing for now, the bond with its community remains. Customers are encouraged to stay connected as this journey evolves. Here’s to the Fursatile legacy and a life lived beautifully, a message The Glam Pad can surely a test to! Shop here now!

TGP’s Favorite Advent Calendars

Christmas may be two months away, but 2024 advent calendars are flying off the shelves faster than you can say “holiday countdown!” While we typically wait until Thanksgiving to dive into all things Christmas, the early release of advent calendars from some of our favorite brands has us sharing our top picks a little sooner this year.

1. Fortnum’s Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

You can never go wrong with a classic wooden advent calendar. Fortnum & Mason in London offers some of the most coveted ones that are sure to be cherished for years to come.

2. Green Garden Gourmet Chocolate Advent Calendar

Nothing says advent like a piece of chocolate, but let’s be honest—those foil-wrapped treats often disappoint. This year, we’re stepping up our game with a more gourmet option: the stunning advent calendar from Compartes Chocolatier.

3. Penhaligon’s Beauty Advent Calendar

You can never go wrong with a selection of scented treats. This year, Penhaligon’s—a perfumery with royal heritage—has truly outdone itself with an advent calendar featuring an exquisite array of classic scents, candles, and more.

4. The New Yorker Puzzle Advent Calendar

While candy and other little treats are always delightful, this New Yorker advent calendar, with 24 days of mini puzzles, is irresistibly charming and promises endless fun for the entire family.

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Marie Antoinette Style at the V&A, Antiques at the Gardens, and Loeffler Randall for McGee & Co. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Marie Antoinette Style at the V&A

Marie Antoinette remains a fashion icon whose complexity continues to fascinate. Her enduring appeal is shaped not only by her extravagant style and youthful charm but also by the notoriety that has immortalized her in history. I, for one, have been captivated by the beheaded queen since childhood, drawn to the paradox of her tragic life and timeless elegance.

That’s why the recent announcement from the Victoria & Albert Museum about their upcoming exhibition, Marie Antoinette Style, has me absolutely thrilled. Set to open on September 20th, 2025, the exhibition promises an in-depth exploration of the queen’s lasting influence, tracing her impact across more than 250 years of design, fashion, art, and film.

From her iconic gowns to modern-day interpretations of her persona, the exhibition will be the first of its kind in the UK and only the third dedicated to the monarch outside of France. The curators aim to reclaim her narrative, moving beyond the infamous “let them eat cake” myth and exploring whether her reputation as a villain was truly deserved.

Archival research will be displayed alongside an in-depth exploration of the design, fashion, and cultural impact that Marie Antoinette imparted. An array of media will be presented, providing visitors with a new lens through which to view the ill-fated queen and encouraging us to rethink our perceptions of this complex and often misunderstood figure in history. The icing on the cake? The exhibition will be sponsored by the luxury footwear brand Manolo Blahnik.

For anyone enchanted by the intersection of history and haute couture, this is sure to be a spectacle not to be missed. Now, I must rewatch Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette.

Birmingham’s Antiques at the Gardens

Today kicks off the 18th annual Antiques at the Gardens show, hosted by the Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens. This highly anticipated event, organized by a committee of 150 devoted volunteers, has become Birmingham’s premier antiques showcase. The lineup features talks by internationally renowned interior designers, floral experts, architects, and landscape architects, offering an inspiring blend of creative talent.

This year, we’re particularly thrilled for The Future of Traditional Design, featuring an all-star panel with Elizabeth Lawrence, Rudy Saunders, and Elizabeth Pyne Singer, moderated by none other than Steele Marcoux, Editor-in-Chief of Veranda. Following that, don’t miss Influence and Inspiration, where design icons Barry Dixon, Mary McDonald, and Michelle Nussbaumer will share their insights, moderated by Margot Shaw, Editor-in-Chief of Flower.

The show also brings together celebrated antiques dealers from across the country, showcasing exquisitely curated pieces—from fine art and vintage jewelry to silver, rugs, textiles, home decor, and garden accessories.

This perennial favorite continues to draw admirers from far and wide, with proceeds supporting the Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens’ mission to protect and nurture the wonders of the Gardens. Thanks to your support, these verdant spaces will keep thriving, ensuring future generations get to stop and smell the roses—literally and figuratively.

Running October 3rd to the 6th, tickets can be purchased here!

Tori Mellott for Buru

The fabulous Tori Mellott, Vice President of Social and Video at Schumacher, has teamed up with the beloved women’s and children’s wear brand, Buru.

Buru, founded by Morgan Hutchinson in 2013 after the birth of her first child, came to life out of necessity—Morgan had an epiphany during a shared meltdown at a restaurant, where the high-neck dress she wore made feeding her baby nearly impossible. This sparked the realization that stylish clothes could still be functional and accessible. Over time, Buru evolved to cater not just to moms but to all women seeking chic, polished pieces that are as effortless as they are versatile.

Enter Tori Mellott: editor, tastemaker, humor enthusiast, and mother to two adorable twin girls. With her jam-packed schedule in the city that never sleeps, she and Morgan bonded over their shared love of New York, resulting in a collection that pays homage to the city’s vibrant energy. Think rich fall tones, shimmering metallics, and pieces with plenty of flair that seamlessly transition from day to night. And, of course, there are stylish looks for the little ones, too!
