I hugely regretted not getting my hands on this fabulous Charlotte Simone jacket the first time around, so it’s going straight into my shopping basket now that it’s back as part of the brand’s current Archive Sale. Fair warning: the drop is only live until April 1st, so don’t make my same mistake and miss your chance again.
I’m obsessed with perfumes, so I’m surprised I didn’t come across the luxury Parisian brand Marc-Antoine Barrois sooner. It’s probably because his clients are known to never disclose which scent they’re wearing, for fear of being copied—and now that I’ve tried Ganymede, I understand completely. Luckily for you, though, I don’t believe in gatekeeping.

As seen on the brand's Spring/Summer 2026 runway, this effortlessly chic handbag has quickly become my dream investment bag.

Nothing marks the beginning of transitional weather styling than a light jacket, and the buttery texture feels luxurious. The earthy tone makes the piece versatile and easy to wear too, and I love the boxy silhouette, as it would go perfectly with a pair of light blue straight legged jeans and converse trainers.
