15 things we would love to add to cart this month
There is one thing we all have in common at Sauce is trawling through the vast online-shopping universe and finding cool new things you didn’t know you actually needed. Our team of in-house saucettes and contributors from around the globe have shared their ‘add to cart’ picks this month. Hope you find some inspiration for your next spring purchase.

3D printed stool - I've been positively gagging for this incredible stool by Tauranga-based company Special Studio. Design, form, and function - oh la la! In terms of beauty, I'd love a new pair of lips for summer, or botox on my 'pits - so that any sweat patches will be no more! I'm absolutely loving Kowtow's new collection - particularly the collared shirts in various prints. Who doesn't love a collar?!
Gloria - Being a huge fan of Miss Crabb I've been frothing over Kristine Crabb's new enterprise, Gloria, which specialises in beautiful silk dresses, editorially inspired coats, and the most beautiful suit jackets that could make even my rowing/swimming shoulders look chic.
Curio Noir - Having collaborated extensively with Curio Noir, it's of little surprise that I'm pining for a new scent. I'm all about Pablo - I want to exude pheromones for a saucy summer.

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 - there's something really sexy about overtly large headphones. The fact these bad boys cancel out the outside noise so you can zone into whatever you're listening to is just *chef's kiss*. I want these so mf badly. I want to be one of those hot skaters you all used to dream about with skinny arms and a faint six-pack. I want everyone to swoon when I walk past as I am listening to Arlo Parks obnoxiously loud.
PRADA 17WFS Sunglasses - I'm getting old now, and with that comes maturity, or so I am told. I am finally at the age and stage in my life where I can and should fork out on a pair of sunglasses that cost more than my first car. These women PRADA frames are sleek, masculine to me, mature and hot as fuck.
The Ordinary Lash Serum - I can't get over this product. When I first read the press release, I was sceptical at best, but after using this product religiously morning and night for two weeks straight, I noticed that my lashes were weirdly GROWING. They were doing exactly as the product's packaging stated, this is my favourite new haircare find. I love some gloriously long, luxuriously beautiful lashes that I can blink with ever so subtly.

The beginning of a new season is the best excuse for shopping one can have. Out with the old, in with the new, right? Conveniently enough, my favourite bedding brand just launched some new colours — their bedding is made of 100% jersey cotton which is like sleeping in your favourite, softest t-shirt. Dehei's online shopping cart has lately become my playground as I'm trying to figure out the most perfect pairing of colours for my bed.
Maison Margiela Replica Sneakers and Olivia Cashmore The Remy Pant
My clothing wishlist is so extensive that I don't even know where to start. I have my eye on these Margiela sneakers that my feet really need (!) and also have been patiently waiting for Olivia Cashmore to recut (which she said she will sometime soon) this beautiful men's tailored trouser that sits pretty good on women as well. Keep your eye out for them. Just imagine these shoes with these trousers and some cute tiny top, ideally somewhere overseas, what a vibe.
By Terry Baume De Rose Hydrating Rose Mask
As someone who's tried pretty much every sheet mask Mecca offers, I can say that this one is really good. I'm not into By Terry products as such — I only turned to this mask when I have already tried everything else in this segment and was positively surprised how much difference I could see in my skin after 20 minutes. And, it smells like a rose garden. Based on quality-price-ratio, I'd perhaps choose this mask over my favourite 111SKIN Y Theorem Bio Cellulose Facial Mask.

WhiteSpa and Skinography - When it comes to spring, I am all about resetting everything around you, physically and mentally. It is the perfect time of the year to do so. Dust off the cobwebs and get this spring back in your step, just in time for summer. We all know winter can be hard on our mind and body, so what better to start to spring off with a rejuvenating facial to bring some life and fullness back into your skin? I love to book a float tank session at WhiteSpa. It is a time to relax, switch off and drift away. This season I am going to try the Anti-Gravity Facial from Skinography.
Aje.Athletica - The days are getting brighter and longer. Now is when I start to reintroduce a bit of mindfulness practice and exercise. There is nothing better than early morning walks in the sun on a nice spring morning, soaking up those much-needed rays. Any excuse to get some new gear? I am not one for prints, but I am loving the new high-rise contrast 7/8 leggings from Aje. Athletica’s new collection.
Devialet - Acoustical Engineering Company - Now that the season for entertainment is upon us, having an amazing sound system can make every event. This amazing small but powerful sound system is amazing. I have never heard anything like it. Not quite like your ordinary speaker, it is definitely a conversation starter. This is something I have always wanted to add to my shopping cart, maybe this year is the time to do it and maybe add in some of their earbuds too.

'The Utiliti' iPhone case - Utility bags are my faithful going-out companion for daily walks and daycare drop offs but I am always looking for something minimal and teeny tiny as possible and I’ve been tempted to press ‘purchase’ on the black 'The Utiliti' iPhone Case. This sleek puffer cases have been spotted on Dua Lipa, Emma Chamberlain, Kendall Jenner, and Justin Bieberare. It comes in a few models to fit whatever iteration of iPhone you might own.
Tiffany HardWear Graduated Link Necklace - “Welcome to the return of the statement piece!” is just energy we need after two years of back to back lockdown. Inspired by a unisex bracelet found in the house’s 1971 archive, the HardWear collection consists of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and rings. I have been eyeing the necklace for a little while now and can’t wait to get my hands on it this Christmas (dream big or go home right?!).
Fili Woven Vase at Garden Objects — Fili, the brand was born in the Phillippines in a region know for its crafting culture and the birth place of the brand designer Julia Villamonte. Julia designs pieces with functionality in mind using traditional weaving methods. I’ve been trying to include more natural/handmade objects at home and these baskets are perfect for summer table setting. I am also a huge fan of NZ store Garden Objects by Lisa Davis and Jared Lockhart. Everything in the store is on my ‘to buy list’ to inspire me to actually get down to doing some gardening.
