I’ll be honest, it’s been a minute. If you’re new here, welcome aboard. If you’ve been subscribed for a while and wondering if I fell off the face of the earth - well, sort of, but not really. A lot’s been happening behind the scenes, and if you’ve been following along on Instagram and TikTok (now both @itspippa), you’ll know I’ve been flitting between food spots, weekend stays, and a snazzy outfit or two.
So, what’s new? For starters, this Substack has had a rebrand to match my other platforms. Welcome to itspippa.substack.com! It feels good to have everything tied together nicely - no more guessing if you’ve found the right Pippa.

And we’re doing things a little differently this time. I’ve been known to get way too in my head about these posts, pouring hours into crafting guides and long-winded brain dumps. While I loved writing them (and I think you guys enjoyed them too), the pressure to make each post perfect was holding me back from actually hitting publish.
So, we’re switching it up. Expect shorter, snappier updates - think quick life catch-ups, behind-the-scenes peeks at where I’ve been, and whatever else is swirling around my head that week. Less polished, more off-the-cuff, and definitely more frequent.
But don’t worry - the guides aren’t going anywhere. They’ll still be coming your way, just mixed in among the other posts so there’s always something new to read.
It feels good to be back. Let’s get stuck in.
Pippa xx
