Suki Waterhouse
Logo

Suki Waterhouse is a Los Angeles-based musician, actress, and model. The London-born triple threat began her career modeling, which brought her to the covers of Vogue and Elle magazine, and acted in shows like Daisy Jones & the Six before honing in on her music career. For the last few years, Suki has made music her focus, racking up millions of streams on hits like Good Looking. Her sound is longing and wistful, perfect for fans of bands like Cults and Mazzy Star, and since the release of her first album, she’s toured with Father John Misty and played Coachella. Her sophomore album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin came out on Sep 13th, and she embarks on a US tour this fall. Lucky for us, Suki’s here to tell us what she’s been into.

This is a little hidey hole restaurant in LA I absolutely love and I’m not sure if it gets enough hype.  Too many places in La feel like high school when you walk in and this one doesn’t at all! Cozy good vibes. Whilst writing this I just realized they are on Uber eats and now I’m ordering the tahini toast - it’s is to die for!!

This watercolor paint set I just discovered, and probably people already know about but im so happy to not have to deal with paintbrushes, you just fill the pen with water! Genius. So now I can doodle anywhere. I had an accident and spilt coffee on the paint the other day so that's why it looks a little crazy. I try to hang little paintings my friends do or do a painting of where I am and if they are half decent frame them to put around the house. I’m in no way any good but it’s my favourite thing to do when I’m on a stressful phone call.

Oh my god. The most beautifully made and moving documentary. My friend and I bawled our eyes out watching it this weekend. It follows incarcerated men who have little or no connection with their daughters prepare for a ‘date with dad’. I didn’t know so many prisons in the states do not allow contact visits. Angela who runs the program is a saint. To have an event that they could connect at where the Dads could put a suit and tie on, the girls could dress up and enjoy their dads... how deeply it impacted them all, is heartbreaking to watch. It reminds you of the strength and importance of familial bonds and also the power of story. A new narrative in these relationships was the beginning of huge seismic shifts and future outcomes. It’s a must watch!

My producer Jules and I both got this microphone and I feel like I’m going to base the next record all around it. Nothing like an amazing vintage microphone!

I have way too many skin products and sometimes am so lazy, I don’t follow any routine religiously but this is the one product that’s stuck around that I always come back to. The vitamin C in the day and the blue bottle pro heal at night. If I keep that up I notice such a difference in my skin texture. Now I need to get committed again.

These vitamin sachets are the holy grail. I heard Robert Downey Jr takes them? They taste like cat shit so drink them with juice or coconut water but MY GOD it’s worth it. Saved me from getting sick or sped up recovery every single time... they truly have superpowers.

I found Moon lists on Substack and got the workbook journal and I love doing these little check ins. There’s a bunch of exercises and I find the questions so thoughtful. I just re read one of the sensory exercises and I’ve written about a rainy day going to buy a lamp that I probably would have forgotten about, and a conversation with Amy from amyl and the sniffers in a toilet at a bar.

When I was preggers in the last month and didn’t really feel like seeing anyone I got obsessed with getting a bonsai tree. I found a number on Google and pulled up to a house in East Hollywood and a lady had a bunch of them locked up in her back garden. Felt super cool and mysterious. Some of them she’d had for 30 years. Fell in love with this guy and have become obsessed with pruning- does he not look so fab?!!

Got rid of all of my ugly outdoor furniture recently and updated it with some fab new stuff from business of pleasure. Completely addicted now and matching towels with a float are on the way. With this poolside cohesion my days are just sweeter!

Ok so this a podcast by the fabulous actresses Julia Davis and Vicki Pepperdine where they receive fictional relationship questions and respond to them in a BBC women’s hour tone. They sound like British mum’s having tea, so the content is all the more shocking. It’s the filthiest most ridiculous thing to ever exist 😂

This is currently my ideal night in. After Andy, Cookie Meuller’s collected stories by Olivia Laing, the Whitney review I got to read Alissa Bennet and Mary Gaitskill’s interview, Liz Phair’s memoir are what’s on the docket at the moment.

My mum got me onto Klask and now I’m obsessed. It’s like a mini air hockey, table tennis game that is apparently big in Danish pubs. Many a night on the KLASK!
