Canvas Tote Bag, £45
My latest find at M&S is this gorgeous, minimalistic, large canvas tote bag! I’m obsessed with its oversized shape, and its monochrome colour. If this bag isn’t giving you quiet luxury vibes then it definitely should. And for only £45, I didnt think twice before adding to my basket. Find it here.
Dorsey Lucien White Sapphire Earrings
Lucien Leverback Drop Earrings, From £169
My new favourite jewellery brand, Dorsey, is a Los Angeles-based brand specialising in lab-grown gemstones and fine jewellery, and their Art Deco-inspired Lucien drop earring showcases a bright, white lab-grown sapphire set on a delicate 18k gold-coated sterling silver hook. Designed to be worn effortlessly every day, they are number one on my shopping list! They come in two sizes, medium or large. Find them here.
Mango Buckle Leather Moccasins
Leather Moccasins, £59.99
I’m very much into textured leather and buckles on shoes right now, and these tobacco brown moccasins from Mango tick all these preferences and more! I especially like the square toe cut and the richness of the colour. You can find them here.
Marant Étoile Kimelia Canvas Jacket
Kimelia Canvas Jacket, £595
Chore jackets are everywhere this season, and this canvas coat from Marant Étoile, Isabel Marant’s other brand, is one of my favourite takes on the trend. Cut a bit longer and with plenty of pockets, it’s an ideal “mum coat”. Also, loving the grey faded colour, it gives it a very cool edge. Find it here.
RMS ReDimension Hydra Bronzer
ReDimension Hydra Bronzer, £35
This isn’t a new find for me, as I have been using RMS beauty products for a while, but everyone who knows me can tell you that I am obsessed with all RMS products, a clean beauty brand, so it’s a great one for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers. I especially love their ReDimension Hydra Bronzer. The colour is so natural looking and goes on like silk on the face (seriously, it’s so soft and weightless) and never feels dry on the skin. What does it do? It glides on effortlessly, infusing skin with multi-dimensional life as the bouncy, light-as-air gel blends and builds golden, sunkissed colour. I just bought my fourth refill; I had to share! Find it here. If you are more of a blush wearer, I equally love their ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush. It’s incredible, and I recommend the colour Sangria. Find the blush here.
COS Volume Wide-Leg Jeans
Volume Wide-Leg Jeans, £95
I am very much into voluminous, wide-leg jeans at the moment. You don’t need much to dress them up; a simple white T-shirt will do. One of my go-to brands for jeans is COS. They offer great materials like organic cotton denim, and they last a long time. This pair is brand new in store, and I can’t wait to wear them this spring. Find them here.
La Bonne Brosse N.02 The Essential All Purpose Petite Brush
The Essential All Purpose Petite Brush, £95
Postpartum hair loss can last a long time, and I found having a more planned out haircare routine does help with it, and it starts with a great hair brush. You might have heard about La Bonne Brosse, the French brand specialising in high-quality hairbrushes crafted using traditional artisanal techniques. Founded by Flore des Robert and Pauline Laurent, the brand emphasises sustainable production and the importance of a methodical brushing routine to enhance hair and scalp health. An investment, yes, but as everyone who owns one of these brushes will tell you, it’s definitely worth it. Find it here.
