From a celeb beauty edit to lustworthy high street buys, we’re counting down to that end of the month pay check. Plus, with the weather getting warmer, we’re ready to inject some sunshine into our shopping. So let us take you to Mango, Sézane and beyond with our April Payday wishlist…

april payday wishlist- Adam Blouse Placed Blue Embroidery on Ecru Background
Sézane’s spring edit just dropped, and it is as tempting as ever. Case in point: this sweet smocked top with bows up the back. I’ll toughen it up a bit with denim Bermuda shorts and kitten heel sandals. – Astrid, Contributing Fashion & Lifestyle Editor
payday treat Strapless Open-Back Set Top £45 £45
I love the versatility of a co-ord and this one has my name all over it. It’s perfect for a summer event, but also works more casually when worn separately with jeans or a white tee. – Harriet, Head Of Partnerships
At this rate, the words ‘she wore flats’ will be written on my tombstone, because I am rarely spotted in anything else. This braided pair of ballerinas feels decidedly summery, and I love the rich chocolate hue. – Natasha, Digital Editor
Olivia Dean Hourglass Edit
Two of my faves have come together to create the dreamiest make-up collection. As the new face of Hourglass Cosmetics, singer-songwriter Olivia Dean has selected her fave products – and I can’t wait to snap up the edit. Including two of the brand’s award-winning complexion formulas, Veil Hydrating Skin Tint and Vanish Airbrush Concealer, plus their newest innovation, Unreal Liquid Highlighter, this combo is a fast track to the ultimate glow. – Ashling, Contributing Style & Interiors Editor
Missoma Mini Charm Hoop Earrings, Gold Green
I always come back to Missoma earrings; they’re incredibly wearable, elevate even the simplest outfit, and strike the perfect balance between statement and subtle. – Elly, Founder & CEO
silvia cotton merino blend button knitted top
This payday, I have my eye on a cream knit top from Damson Madder. This will likely come as no surprise to my colleagues, as I’m often seen championing the brand and browsing its ‘new in’ section. The Silvia Button Knitted Top is right up my street and will make the perfect addition to my Spring wardrobe. – Amelia, Culture & Lifestyle Writer/Creator
Pro-DLX 6 Backpack 15.6 - april payday wishlist
Between cycling to work, meeting clients in the city, and the occasional flight, I’ve become increasingly frustrated with packing different bags on different days, which is why I’ve been eyeing up the Samsonite Pro DLX. EasyJet & British Airways (and about 60 other carriers) cabin bag approved, secure laptop storage, sturdy and water resistant, you can even connect it to your power bank for easy charging on the go! I suspect this may soon be my daily driver. – Yan, Senior Brand Partnerships Executive
