LOEWE candle from net-a-porter — Jonathan Anderson’s candle was developed in Spain by in-house perfumer Nuria Cruelles, 'Honeysuckle' has a low-intensity floral aroma. It's 'potted' in a handmade, glazed terracotta earthenware vesseL. A feel like this candle will be like that little ray of sunshine to my beige and white living space.
Alemais Soleil Oversized Shirt from MUSE - This gorgeous print from Alemais has been made in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Clare Johnson. The oversized shirt style is my go-to for summer and this one comes with concealed placket with shell buttons, crafted from 100% silk. I can see myself wearing this over a simple slip dress or a bikini to the beach.
Hunza Juno Bikini - I have been eyeing Hunza swimwear for a really long time and it’s time I invest into a classic black bikini. With modern nostalgia at its core, Hunza G has grown to become an iconic brand synonymous with the beach. Its 80’s roots bringing a cool and contemporary twist to beachwear in powerful hues. PS — did you know that cut-out mini dress worn by Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman was Hunza?!

Sandy Liang Mary Jane Pointe Shoe. I'm obsessed. These pointe shoes are just too cute not to have them. I can see myself wearing them with shorts, jeans, trousers, dresses and even track pants — that's how versatile they are. I'm into the leather one but they also have a satin version available in multiple colours.
Sans Ceuticals Bio Active Body Exfoliant. I got a mini of this exfoliant and took it with me to my sauna appointment, generously applying at the very end of my session right before showering. I will be ordering a full one for sure — it's got just the right consistency and smells absolutely divine.
Tekla Poplin Sleep Shorts in Royal Blue. New shorts to wear with my new ballet shoes, that will be my summer uniform. I know essentially they are sleep shorts but I got one in the boro stripes pattern last summer and wore it with a blazer while running errands in town — never got so many compliments on a pair of shorts

Moi On George - There's nothing more I love than a brand spanking new duvet cover. Being partial to Muji's minimalist offerings, it's been an absolute delight to see Kip & Ko's new range - whether you're wanting eccentric patterns of all shapes and sizes or you're pastel inclined - there's something for everyone.
Communitie marfa - This summer I'm positively gagging to emulate art-mom divorcee chic. The bigger the hat, the bigger shade, you could say. Handwoven in North America, the communitie marfa-cooked garden hat (available via Garden Objects) is sure to make you feel fabulous and sun smart.

BAINA Erin Pool Towel - I'm crushing on BAINA's collection 5. I can almost taste summer, it's not quite here, but I can sense it. BAINA's towels are more than a statement piece in the bathroom or at the beach; they're luxuriously soft and wrap the body like a warm summer's day hug.
Emma Lewisham Skin Shield SPF - a masterclass in reformulation, the brand has released a highly protective UVA/UVB broad-spectrum SPF 30 that leaves the skin glowing without any trace of a white cast or tackly finish. We love to see it.
Dion Lee Rib Shift Tank - it's going to be a sultry summer; I want to be a dirtbag and sleep with trashy men, all in the name of self-empowerment. This unisex tank top will take me places; the ribbed crew neckline will make men scream. I must have it.

Jo Malone London Advent Calendar — This is the most-lusted after advent calendars of the season and this year is no different. The Advent Calendar contains 25 wonderful Jo Malone treats including a 30ml cologne and oodles of 9ml colognes as well as dreamy bath and body products. If you love Jo Malone, you know what I had to add this to my “wish list” this year.
Bird and Knoll- I am not one for rocking coral, but I came across this beauty on Farther Rabit. Minimal yet chic. A simple piece to see you through the day into the night, and I am loving the pockets.
Bronwyn Footwear - One thing I love about the warmer summer months is getting those toes out and rocking the new summer colours and the best way to do this is in a brand-new pair of summer sandals. I am loving these lush buttery heeled sandals by Bronwyn Footwear.
