Podcasts by Looks and Books
LOOKS AND BOOKS is a weekly podcast from lifelong friends Cat & Olly that meets at the intersection of fashion and literature whilst discussing and laughing about everything in between. Join us every Thursday as we explore our favourite looks and books pertaining to our fortnightly theme and for our biweekly book club ‘Reading Is Fundamental’, where we will tackle a book that neither of us has even opened before.
