Absolutely Nothing To Talk About : Lisa Ispani from Tallulah and Hope

Every Wednesday ANTW will be having a mid-week chat with someone we think knows an awful lot, about Absolutely Nothing…..

Lisa Ispani is the co-founder of Tallulah and Hope who make the most fabulous modern beachwear and are an ANTW fashion favourite.

Absolutely Nothing To Wear…..

Tallulah and Hope Hero kaftan because you can literally throw it on and you’re good to go. I stretch wearing one into Autumn by layering over a long-sleeved American Apparel top and jeans.

Merchant Archive in West London is my absolute favourite vintage boutique. Sophie the owner has an exquisite eye and also stocks contemporary pieces and accessories. I bought my Karen Walker sunglasses there which I wore rampantly on holiday.

Absolutely Nothing To Read…..

Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh is the story of an incredibly inspiring entrepreneur who took Zappos.com to making over a billion dollars in gross sales over just 10 years.

Absolutely Nothing To Do…..

I recently visited therapist Marlene Munoz , who came highly recommended. I had a Chi Rejuvenation Facial which combines classic French facial massage techniques with the ancient Chinese therapy, acupressure, all designed specifically to rejuvenate the face. It was so enjoyable and the next day I was asked for ID in Waitrose (honestly) when I was buying alcohol – I’m 36!

Absolutely Nothing To Listen To……

The Bronx (a hardcore American rock band from LA) released a ‘Mariachi’ album El Bronx under their alter ego Mariachi El Bronx
it’s amazing and joyful I cannot stop listening it!

Absolutely Nothing To Eat…..

The Bread Pudding with Caramel ice-cream from Canteen, I just can’t say no!

Absolutely Nothing To Buy…..

Anything from Sonia Rykiel

Absolutely Nothing To See…..

Tracy Emin’s Love is What You Want retrospective exhibition at the Hayward Gallery.  I love her, her art and her style!


Absolutely Nothing To Smile About…..

Zoe, my business partner and the other half of Tallulah & Hope, laugh all the time! You need to keep a sense of humour when you’re starting a business to help counteract the stress.

I am also loving the HBO series ‘Bored to Death’ . Ted Danson is a revelation in it, the show is very very funny, a must watch.


One Comment on “Absolutely Nothing To Talk About : Lisa Ispani from Tallulah and Hope”

  1. Dear Lisa Ispani,

    Following your advice on absolutely nothing to do I went to see Marlene and that was a great experience. Thanks for the tip.

    If you again have absolutely nothing to do why not experience one of my most amazing massage technique. I have worked more than 3 years on fine tuning a non invasive and very simple massage technique that gives an immediate release of neck and back tensions. It entails 3 sessions but you can start to feel the difference from the 1st session. Even if you think you don’t have neck tensions, after the sessions you will realise you had. so please feel free to contact me. All the best. Aude
