“I have loved the DoubleJ La Scala style top for years, and I have a few (feathers, linen, velvet). I have my heart firmly set on this new black-lace version – so easy to wear with jeans or flowy silk trousers for the summer.”
“Most of my make-up bag is VIEVE, but my desert island go-tos would be the Skin Nova primer for the perfect glow (no-glitter finish and super hydrating) and the Eye Wand in Camel. I use it on my eyes, touch it on my cheeks, and add a little dab on my lips (with Bounce Balm over the top). A no-make-up but polished look.”
“Simple, trusted, and always in my routine. I would sacrifice a lot of other products for a great cleanser and this formula is, without question, the best for my dry, slightly sensitive skin.”
“I adore everything from Completedworks, especially the gold-vermeil earrings. So easy to wear, super lightweight, and they instantly elevate a simple jeans-and-jumper look into dinner-party ready.”
“The only sunglasses I go back to time after time. I love the wider arms of the Mega Wayfarer, and it’s hard to find a picture of me not wearing these.”
“Anything Toteme is generally high up on my wish list, but this bag is an absolute win and only gets better with time. I wear it with everything, to everything, and the main reason I love it is because it fits my laptop!”
“Hershesons has always been my go-to for a classic, undone hair style that works every day and lasts (I request the no-style style cut). Alexis is my colour hero, with his own ALEXYAGE technique, then it’s a rough dry and Almost Everything Cream, and I’m good to go.”
“We are in the process of a renovation, and these have been on the mood board since day one. I have always been a fan of Henry Holland – he brings joy into whatever he is designing. I cannot wait for these to bring me joy every day when installed in my new kitchen.”
“These cups are my style icons. Understated, simple, and so chic!”
“Denim is a big part of my everyday wardrobe, and you can never go wrong with well-fitting Zara jeans.”
“REOME is always pushing the boundaries with their biotech formulations. Masks are normally a step I’m happy to miss in my routine, until this launch earlier this year. It’s made a big difference and is now a weekly must-have.”
“I am not a prolific writer, but these cards make me want to pass on the love – the perfect way to wish anybody a very happy birthday!”
“A good night’s sleep is at the top of my priority list, and these patches certainly help.”
“In my opinion, low maintenance is the answer to perfect brows. With (global brow and lash artist) Jaimineey Patel and her eye for detail, she creates the perfect natural-look brow at Blink Brow Bar. I love the Brow Boost Growth to keep them in good condition.”
“My biggest luxury is Olivia von Halle PJs. They’re the ultimate investment piece that lasts – I must have had my last pair for over 10 years.”
“For me, the joy of design is about timeless style, taking traditional craftsmanship and creating designs that bring life into a space. If budget allowed, I would have every possible space tiled with Balineum bespoke tiles; however, I may need to just start with the bathrooms for now!”
“This small pouch has changed my make-up routine – it’s made me really think about the small number of products I need on the go or when travelling. It saves time and brain power knowing I have everything I need in a small, beautiful pouch (helped by my love of minis).”
“Supplements are something I have only got into recently, but they’re less of a luxury now and more of a necessity. No matter what the day brings, I know I’m at the very least helping to support my gut microbiome.”
“Navygrey jumpers have been in my wardrobe since Rachel launched the brand. I adore oversized styles; each one feels like home. It is the only jumper I reach for that hasn’t been stolen from my husband’s wardrobe.”
“This is such a special product. I love how the fine mist conditions as it scents; it’s subtly perfumed and the perfect way to feel refreshed throughout the day. I love using it when I’ve worn my hair up all day, then put it down for the evening – it completely lifts and refreshes it without using a heavy styling product.”
