HeyJaredThe Margarita Chronicles
Welcome to my Substack. I have a curatorial eye for detail, creativity, and the art of noticing. Sharing my musings on travel, business, culture, food, hosting and interiors. Success is generosity—gatekeeping helps no one. I love margaritas.

The Handbag: Part Accessory, Part Emotional Support System (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s something so telling about what a woman keeps in her bag. Honestly, we carry a lot; mentally, emotionally, practically, and somehow it all ends up reflected in the thing hanging off our shoulder, every single day. Receipts we’ll never look at. A lipstick for when your day time event turns into an evening one. Seventeen hair ties (we need precisely none of them, most of the time). Something for a headache, something for a blister, something “just in case”, because we are, by nature, prepa

All Things August: Is September the new January? Plus: internet fatigue and making jewellery (which I love...) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I feel like I’ve lived many lives this month. Many lives, many hats and FAR too much of my eyeballs online.August is such a weird month isn’t it?!

Guest takeover: Natalie Chassay’s Dirty Martini Roast chicken (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The wonderful Natalie Chassay, fellow host and incredible cook, is taking over The Margarita Chronicles today with what I can only describe as the absolute dream dish.

All things July | Leaving London, a bailed buyer...and a hell of a lot more! (opens the original)

July has felt like one of those months where life has shifted beneath my feet.In part there is no way to predict the future but there are ways to steer the ship. That is probably the funny thing about life. We spend so much time trying to plan it, only to realise that the biggest chapters often arrive when we are busy looking the other way.This month we have (nearly) sold our family home. The place where two of my children were born and a place where my dad spent time with us. A house that has h
