As a total classic, a new mac is a must. But if you want something unique, fresh and contemporary, it’s got to be from Topshop. Along with many, I was heartbroken when the brand ceased to exist on our high streets, but now it’s back and better than ever. Come pay day, I’m making a beeline for the brand’s site to snap up this beauty, and perhaps a few other treats. – Ashling, Contributing Style & Interiors Editor
I just watched Kitty’s 5-minute morning makeup routine using Merit, and now I’m completely obsessed. The Five-Minute Morning Set looks incredible — I genuinely want everything in it! – Beth, Social Media Assistant
My pay day treat this month is going to be the NEOM Bedtime Hero 3 Wick Scented Candle – I was gifted the single wick travel candle recently and am obsessed with how it makes my bedroom smell when I burn it for a couple of hours before lights out. I even bought the same one for my pregnant little sister, so figured only fair to upgrade to an investment size for longer-term use ;). – Robyn, Managing Director
I’ve never met a drapey, sheer white blouse I didn’t like, and this one feels incredibly luxe for the high street. I’d style it with baggy denim and digging out an old vintage military jacket to layer on top. – Astrid, Contributing Fashion & Lifestyle Editor
This month, I am looking to invest in a new everyday work bag, and this Massimo Dutti one perfectly fits the bill. While I am all for the suede bag trend, I am of the belief that you just can’t beat a sleek black leather tote. What I love about this one is that it is the perfect size to double up as both a work and evening bag. I’m a big fan of its slouchy, relaxed shape as well as the practicality of a sturdy zip and adjustable handle. – Amelia, Culture & Lifestyle Writer/Creator
After initially resisting the windbreaker trend, I’m now completely converted and on the hunt – it’s the perfect off-duty outerwear piece for heading into spring. – Natasha, Digital Editor – Natasha, Digital Editor
With so much going around at this time of year I’m keen to test out INORA liquid supplements. Designed to support energy, sleep & general wellness, the daily bundle offers x3 liquid supplement that allows nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently. – Harriet, Head Of Partnerships
I can really see myself reaching for this all spring—it’s the kind of reliable tote I’d throw my Pilates gear into, grab a few books and my essentials for a café stop, or take along for weekend market trips. I love how the front pockets are both cute and practical, and how it’s neutral enough to go with everything, while still giving that perfect pop of colour. – Kitty, Social Media Manager & Content Creator
Can’t get over the lines on this wool coat. Imagining lightweight brown trousers with ballet flats. Feels like the perfect fit for the transition away from January and February. – Mallory, Food & Lifestyle Writer/Creator
The Italian tradition of wearing knee high socks is not well known in the UK, but let me tell you it should be. They perfectly fill the ‘gap’ between your shoes and trouser leg, adding comfort & style, and give a Bond-feel to daily dress. – Yan, Senior Brand Partnerships Executive
