Walking into Soho House, the imposter syndrome hit hard, we rocked up wearing our usual attire (looking cool as ever whilst doing so) but amongst the Louboutins, bodycons and clutch bags we stuck out like a sore (and very poor) thumb, so much so that before reaching the roof to see DJ Daddy Skream we already had the nepo babies up in arms, one grassing us up for going to the toilets in twos (what a sad little life Jane)…
