This week we're shopping:
Lisa Eldridge does it again. The legendary MUA’s new Desert Gleam palette is everything we want this summer — a sultry, sun-washed colour story that channels 70s safari chic with a 90s grunge undercurrent. Think Studio 54 glam meets sandy dunes at golden hour.
This six-shade edit is pure Lisa: ultra-wearable, high-performance, and gorgeously curated. Rich matte browns and khakis sculpt and define by day, while metallics in gold, bronze and duo-chrome scarab silver bring serious heat after dark. It’s a palette that transforms — from soft and sculptural to full-blown editorial — all in one slim, ergonomic compact.
Of course, each shadow is housed in Lisa’s bespoke refillable system, so you can swap and switch as you go. Standouts include Firefly, a molten yellow gold, and Chrysina, a shimmering beetle-wing silver that’s genuinely hypnotic.
This is not just another eyeshadow palette — it’s a moodboard in makeup form. Limited quantities. Maximum impact.
The ethereal meets the athletic in this long-awaited collab between Swiss sportswear brand ON and FKA twigs. Built for movement — from studio to street — this capsule blends sensual silhouettes with hyper-functional detailing. Think satin-feel sneakers and sculptural skorts designed to flex with your day.
Performance meets poetry in Goldwin 0’s debut trail collection. Engineered in Japan with heat-mapped ventilation zones and reflective panels, each piece is a feat of functional design. Ideal for high-summer city sprints and quiet coastal trails alike.

City heat, but make it fashion. SSENSE launches HEAT, a sizzling high-summer capsule made for the hottest days in the city. With over 125 exclusive pieces from Martine Rose to Panconesi, it’s a sweaty, sexy edit.
Vuori delivers that elusive mix of laid-back polish with the Villa Short and Villa Trouser Short — lightweight, drapey and made for spontaneous getaways or just breezing through brunch. A warm-weather staple in the making.
From fisherman sandals to platform boat shoes, Timberland’s Summer ‘25 drop is all about reimagined classics for life on the move. Easy silhouettes, considered craftsmanship, and conscious materials come together in a collection that’s as chill as it is functional.
The cult swimwear label reworks its bestselling styles in a dreamy red-and-black gingham that channels old-school beach glamour with a modern twist. Crafted in Italy, built for swim, and ready to turn heads from coast to cocktail hour.
Outerwear gets a moody makeover in Mackage’s first-ever Pre-Fall capsule. Mixing down, leather, and jersey with denim codes, this collection is peak transitional dressing — architectural, considered, and beautifully cool.
A modern icon. Dickies retools its workwear legacy with the all-new unisex 247 Work Pant — enzyme-washed cotton twill with updated fits and phone pockets, fronted by Ezra Collective and Prince Waly. Real-life ready, round-the-clock. Available now.
Statement jewellery at feel-good prices. Ania Haie drops her SS25 collection: think stacking rings, pearl accents, and mood-boosting colour pops.

Kirstie Le Marque’s second collab with Angie Smith gives us two new pieces: The Intention Setter Necklace (£650) and Choker (£475). They’re minimalist, meaningful, and perfect layered with festival outfits—or slipped under a summer dress.

The Linda Farrow Iconic Collection pays tribute to its founder with a campaign starring Linda herself—and frames inspired by her ’70s heyday. First up: the Lila, an oversized stunner in gold-plated titanium. Named for her granddaughter, it’s eyewear as an heirloom.
Soft trousers, slow afternoons, the kind of crisp shirt that makes you exhale: Armani Mare is less about dressing for the beach, more about embodying summer. In shades of ecru and sea spray, and of course, the obligatory summer black (chic), it’s holiday wear that doesn’t shout.

Kaia Gerber, through Halina Reijn’s lens. This is Sarah Burton’s first Givenchy campaign—and it’s a story of creative kinship. Think actress-director energy, emotional tailoring, and looks that speak softly but hit hard. The female gaze, in motion.
Minimalism, modularity, and the kind of sofa that begs you to lie down mid-sentence: Vincent Van Duysen’s latest Zara Home collection lands today. With new shapes like Daybed 02 and Lounge Chair 03, it’s a quiet evolution in creamy wood, crisp linen and grown-up calm.
If summer were a watch: sand-textured dial, glinting blue face, and a steel bracelet that slips on like a wrist-ready wetsuit. The new Black Bay 54 from Tudor is a love letter to 1950s dive watches—remixed for today, with a COSC-certified heart and enough elegance to survive both the surf and the suit.
No fuss. No rush. Just dresses that move like you’re already on holiday. Toast’s summer collection is made to breathe and built to last: soft silhouettes, easy linen, the occasional quiet floral. It’s what you wear when you’re done with drama but still want a little poetry.

Functional meets feminine in Carhartt WIP’s SS25 visuals by Fiona Torre. Double‑knee pants in micro‑skirt form, canvas jackets softened in pastel, and fluid poplin layers lean into sporty practicality—shot in ethereal tones that blend workwear grit and fashion fantasy. Utility has never looked so poetic.

From directional pumps (pictured) to sculptural, bow‑topped ballet flats and the new Sacchetto bag, these limited‑edition beauties bring Italian finesse via nappa leather insoles and cuoio heels. Elevate your evening edit with a whisper of texture and just enough attitude.
Fish‑and‑chips fan? Meet fashion’s fun side.

I recently spent a morning in the Boadicea The Victorious boutique in Harrods Salon de Parfum—yes, I realise that is very lucky. And, truly, that is the best way to smell or discover new fragrances. However, if you can’t actually get to a store and get your hands on a bottle, the next best thing is a discovery set—it’s the perfect way to try several options before fully committing to your new signature scent.
Olfactory armour, Boadicea The Victorious perfumes are masterclasses in high-impact scent: bold, complex and unapologetically luxe. The discovery set has four bestsellers (Blue Sapphire, Complex 2020, Valiant and Glorious).
I've become particularly addicted to Valiant—it's the undeniable star for me. Imagine creamy orange blossom softened by orris and lit from within thanks to the freshness of neroli—it's fresh, floral and wildly sophisticated. Clean and seductive with impressive staying power to boot. Compliments? Expect many.

Hakuna Matata, a fruity and warming scent from 27 87, is one of the best spring perfumes out there. As with all scents from the brand, expect complex blends and interesting note combinations: jasmine teamed with banana and honey, in this case. Sounds odd, yes. But it is delightfully uplifting and transports you to sunny climes.
Oftentimes products that promise to do it all fall a bit flat—they don’t really do the best job at anything. That’s not the case here. This clever product, for both hair and skin, will keep things feeling softer and hydrated. We love.

For example, I’ve had those moments where a deadline sneaks up, and I need to focus instantly. Normally, my brain would be loud and scattered, but with *Nurosym*, it’s like flipping a switch—the background noise quiets, and I can lock in. I typically use it for 30-60 minutes, sometimes in the morning and evening, or just when I feel that anxious energy creeping in (you know, that jittery feeling like too much coffee). Clinical studies have shown that *Nurosym* can increase vagus nerve activity by *61% in just five minutes*, which may explain the calming effect I experience. And, in a recent clinical trial, participants using *Nurosym* reported a *35% improvement in anxious states*, highlighting its potential to alleviate anxiety.
The price is a consideration—it’s not cheap. But if it works for you, it’s an investment in your well-being. It doesn't have a monthly subscription fee, which is something to consider, so whilst it's a chunky price point, there's nothing else to pay. After a year of dipping in and out, I now know when to use it for the best results. For anyone looking to regulate stress and sharpen focus, Nurosymmight be worth having on your radar.
