A new month, a new season and a new round-up of what we’re shopping. Whether it’s style updates, skin boosters or home and lifestyle essentials (we’ve decided they’re necessary, anyway) here are the items that have made it into our baskets, our homes or our wish lists this month...
Sam’s Retro Tee
Samantha De Haas, Creative Productive Manager: This cropped cotton tee from Paris brand Brut Archives channels retro athletic cool – it’s inspired by the brand’s archive pieces. Perfect for tossing on after my new lido swim routine, for a nostalgic (and stylish) nod to the ’90s. €135, Brut Archives
Olivia’s Health Boost
Olivia McCrea-Hedley, Copy & Production Editor: After a summer full of travel and days spent in pub gardens fuelled by the nutritious combo of pints and chips, I’m feeling a little sluggish. Fortunately, Artah’s G.I. Fix supplements offer a combination of Western and Ayurvedic botanicals for the gut health boost of dreams. And a healthy gut = a healthy mind. The best way to prep for a new season. £38 for a 30-day supply, Artah
Pia’s Tired-Eye Saviour
Pia Brynteson, Content Editor: A summer of a little too much fun is starting to show – especially under my eyes. So, it’s time to invest in some skincare. I’ve heard great things about the Abib Collagen Eye Patches – which contain vegan collagen and rose to smooth fine lines and visibly lift the skin around the eye area. They’re definitely going in my cart. £19.90 for 60, Abib at Pureseoul
Lisa’s Home Update
Lisa Harvey, Editorial Director: Candle season is coming here in the UK, and these cute Ian Snow hand-painted wooden candle holders will brighten any cosy space. There are various colour-pop combos, from olive and blue to red and pink, chocolate and orange, and cream and green. I’m buying a few as they work so well stacked together with mismatched candles, especially on a new-season tablescape. £39 each, Ian Snow at Glassette
Hena’s Summer Dress
Hena Sharma, Picture Researcher: I’ve just returned from Mallorca and can’t stop thinking about Natura, a Spanish brand my friend and I stumbled upon, that blends bold textiles, flowing silhouettes and rich scents in a way that feels both cultural and modern. One piece I regret leaving behind: this bright blue cotton dress, patterned with paisley and as vivid as the island’s sea. €47.90, Natura
Dennis’ Skin Booster
Dennis Lye, Creative Director: Noticing a post-summer skin slump? Same. I’ve been reaching for this LED skin wand to bring a little life back into my face. With two options (a red LED light for soothing and a blue for radiance-boosting), it helps to restore hydration and bounce – just what I need as we shift into the new season. £121, Medicube
Liv’s Energising Scrub
Olivia Thompson, Head Of Marketing & Events: After weeks of sun, sea and SPF build-up, a proper body scrub is essential. This one sloughs off dull skin, leaving it silky-smooth and hydrated. Bonus: it smells like an expensive spa, making my post-shower routine feel like a proper reset. £27, Beauty Pie
Annie’s Go-To Pouches
Annie Le Santo, Digital Marketing Manager: I’ve been on a late-summer organising spree, and these Baggu nylon zip pouches are my new go-to. They’re lightweight, durable and great for everything from travel to minimising daily tote-bag chaos. I’m using one for tech bits, one for makeup and one as a grab-and-go mini clutch. $36, Baggu
