    Refinery29 Loves: Everything To See & Shop In June

    [ad_1]

    Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find the best things to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.

    While the sun might still be hiding behind the clouds some days, the temperature has risen to warm and sweaty, meaning our makeup and fashion looks for the month ahead have to be sticky commute-proof.

    When it comes to beauty, we’re leaning into the power of tinted sunscreens, which act as a hydrating foundation alternative with lightweight formulas that provide just enough coverage to skip a heavy base. We’re also giving ourselves the ultimate at-home pedicure for the start of bare feet season (mesh ballet flats count, too) and investing in a summery scent to usher in the lazy, hazy days.

    On the style side, we’re looking to flirty skirts, with Y2K bubble skirts and Wimbledon-inspired tennis skorts topping our list of picks. For those who prefer a trouser, the capri pant is holding its own, with cool-girl brands like Sandy Liang and Mirror Palais producing some of our fave iterations. And we can’t ignore the ever-growing cult of cowgirl clothing, with lace skirts, scarf tops and cowboy boots remaining sartorial summer staples for another year running.

    To discover more beauty products and wardrobe winners that caught our eye this June, click through the slideshow ahead…

    Unofficial quiet luxury ambassador Sofia Richie Grainge has curated a summer-ready edit for all-American brand Tommy Hilfiger. The 12-piece collection highlights warm-weather essentials, including a crochet midi dress, linen suit, white Oxford shirt, and a reversible bikini. “To me, summer is all about relaxed vibes, breathability, and a sense of playfulness,” Richie Grainge said in a press release. “I love it when I can mix-and-match statement pieces with a wardrobe staple, not only making vacation packing easier, but also never compromising on my personal style. I think summer is such a fun time to show your personality through your wardrobe.”

    Catbird x The Met

     
    We’re revisiting the 2024 Met Gala — sort of. Jewelry brand Catbird has teamed up with New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art for a five-piece collection inspired by The Costume Institute’s latest exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which was also celebrated at the star-studded fashion event in May. With prices starting at $98, the line evokes the exhibit’s themesof the passage of time with pieces like a pearl plum charm, a still life art-inspired oyster ring, and a gold chain necklace with moonstone bubbles. Catbird and The Met previously collaborated in 2020 to celebrate the museum’s 150th anniversary.

Of course, everything that made the OG sneaker so beloved — its woven knit fabrication, which allows for a breathability and ventilation, ultra-soft soles, and lightweight design — remain the same.

    Kosas Launch Blush is Life

    Though liquid formulas have dominated the blush space in recent years, the power of powder is undeniable — especially for oilier complexions. This month, Kosas is launching a new selection of baked, single-pot blushes for the summer season, aiming to both brighten the face with long-wearing color and add dimension. The silky formula even contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and oil-balancing squalane. When it comes to the shades, each two-tone baked blush mimics the look of a natural flush, ranging from a cool baby pink to a fiery blood orange and an even deeper mauve. Plus, the formula is vegan and talc-free.

    Collina Strada x Baggu


    Giddy up! New York fashion brand Collina Strada and Baggu have teamed up to create a whimsical 18-piece collection that includes a crossbody bag shaped like a horse. Other pieces include Baggu staple silhouettes — such as a cargo shoulder bag, nylon crescent bag, and shopping totes — in trippy, maximalist prints (chrysanthemums, puppies, and plaids). All bags are made with at least 59 percent recycled material, with prices ranging from $16 to $70.

    RIXO x Ciao Lucia Collaboration


    British brand RIXO is teaming up with Los Angeles-based label Ciao Lucia this month, bringing a slice of West Coast sunshine to the classic English countryside. The 12-piece capsule collection aims to mix occasion dressing with everyday wear, with floaty cotton midi dresses available alongside silky, lace-trimmed maxis. If you’re looking for something more casual (and warm weather-friendly), the collection also features a series of minidresses, including a vintage-inspired, powder-blue collared shirt dress with silk ties. The real show-stoppers are the printed dresses with an angelic cherub design, hand-painted by RIXO co-founder Orlagh McCloskey.

    Victoria Beckham Beauty FeatherFix Brow Gel


    Bold brows defined the past decade but in 2024 the consensus seems to be working with our natural brows to create face-framing, fluffy goodness. While this can be achieved through a number of methods, the most effective way is with a strong-hold brow gel. Happily, VB has devised one just in time for a sweaty summer. Combining the silkiness of a serum with a hairspray-like hold, the product promises ultimate staying power alongside actual haircare, thanks to a biotin formula that aims to promote fuller-looking brows. It’s available in four shades as well as a universal clear for barely there brow-brushing.

    Dear Frances Pre Fall 2024


    Choosing footwear for a summer in the city can be a complicated task. A flip-flop might be the simplest way to combat the heat but the clean girl in us craves the safety of a closed toe, making the ever-popular ballet flat an ideal option. For those looking for a luxury offering, Dear Frances has reimagined its Balla mesh flats for summer, adding a dainty strap for running to and from meetings (or, let’s face it, brunch). There’s a riviera-ready raffia design, patent leather looks and even a diamanté-encrusted accent pair. If you’re after a little more height, the collection also includes a selection of structured heels — the silver metallic pair is made for wedding season.

    Milk Makeup KUSH High Roll Defining + Volumizing Tubing Mascara


    Tubing mascaras continue to have a loyal fan base thanks to their long-wear formulas. Coating and sealing each individual lash in polymers (like a cover for each separate lash), they have been hailed as a lengthening alternative to fiddly falsies. Now, Milk Makeup is backing the hype by upgrading its famed KUSH mascara with a clean tubing formula that promises to provide maximum volume and definition. Free of alcohol, the formula uses vegan waxes and hemp seed oil to condition lashes while avoiding flaking or dryness throughout the day. If makeup remover irritates your eyes, you can simply soak your lashes in water for 30 seconds, then massage the mascara away, meaning no need for stinging cleansers.

    NARS Limited Edition Laguna Ultimate Face Palette


    If you’re lucky enough to be travelling this summer, you’ll know the stress of having to pack your makeup into a teeny tiny suitcase. This is why we have our eye on anything that can shrink that stress into practical, compact products — thankfully, NARS has the goods. Released as part of the brand’s Seductive Summer Collection, the limited-edition Laguna Ultimate Face Palette is built around the iconic bronzer shade, famed for its silky texture and subtle sculpting capabilities. Featuring a mix of four shimmer, satin and matte eyeshadows, two bronzer shades and a glow-inducing highlighter, the palette may be made with a tropical beach in mind but works just as well for high summer in the city. It comes in two separate colorways to suit lighter and darker skin tones.

    Rhode Pocket Blush


    Rhode’s Peptide Lip Tint is one of the brand’s most talked-about products but we suspect that the new Pocket Blush might just give it a run for its money. Known for her minimalist makeup and rosy cheeks, Hailey Bieber is bringing a set of six blushes to the market this June, with colors spanning from baby pink (Piggy) to a deeper reddish-brown hue (Toasted Teddy). Suitable for both cheeks and lips, the wind-up blush tubes are creamy and contain tamanu oil and peptides for a hydrating feeling. You can apply the product straight from the applicator but tapping it on with fingers is recommended for an even distribution of pigment and a natural, glowy flush.

    Peachy Den SS24


    Putting the London girl aesthetic on the world stage since 2019, Peachy Den has found fans in superstar Brits like Raye and Olivia Dean, alongside global It girls like Bella Hadid, Gabriette and Kaia Gerber. Known for its ’00s-inspired style, this summer the brand is drawing inspiration from the British seaside in its latest capsule campaign, with new colourways of the drop-waist seersucker Cindy frill dress, alongside a retro tunic and short co-ord set. Coinciding with the label’s five-year anniversary, the collection also includes classics like ’50s-inspired swimsuits, sheer cardigans and checked maxi dresses for the ultimate beach day (come rain or shine).

    Refinery29 Loves: Everything To See & Shop In May

    [ad_1]

    Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find the best things to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.

    With any luck, the arrival of May should usher in the type of weather that’s just right. In other words, perfect for those delicate linen sets and lightweight trench coats we’ve been desperate to bring out of hibernation for an entire year. This Goldilocks-style forecast makes spring one of our favorite seasons for putting together an Instagram-worthy fit. Aside from some much-needed sunshine, though, May is also synonymous with the biggest event in the sartorial calendar: The Met Gala. 

    This year’s theme, The Garden of Time, produced some awe-inspiring looks. Think Elle Fanning’s glass gown courtesy of Balmain and Cynthia Erivo’s petal-adorned tuxedo by Thom Browne. Then there was the Met’s Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion exhibit, which produced some of the most inspired makeup looks of recent galas. Beauty went bold thanks to Zendaya, who accessorized her Maison Margiela Couture dress with paper-thin blonde brows, glossy skin and a vampy lip, not to mention Ariana Grande, who embellished her eyes with petal wing appliqués. 

    Our invite may have got lost in the post, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t looking to pull together some similarly influential looks this month. If you’re equally as inspired, here are our top fashion and beauty picks to help you on your way.

    Reformation Launches Sunglasses With Jimmy Fairly

     
    Sunny days are here, and Reformation is celebrating by launching a capsule collection of sunglasses with French eyewear brand Jimmy Fairly. The limited-edition line — which marks Reformation’s first foray into eyewear and follows the brand’s swim launch — features five vintage-inspired styles, including oversized aviators and thick-rimmed oval frames in color combos like black/pink and tortoise/brown. And in true Reformation eco-conscious style, the sunglasses are made using 100-percent bio-acetate frames and bio-nylon lenses. Prices start at $185.

    LoveShackFancy x Liberty Fabrics

     
    What can you expect from LoveShackFancy’s third capsule made in collaboration with British heritage brand Liberty Fabrics? Lots of volume, romantic silhouettes, floral prints, bows, soft pink hues, and more. This latest collection, inspired by ’80s style, features a warm-weather-ready array of flowing maxi dresses, tiered skirts, and bustier mini dresses. And, for the first time ever, the collab has also resulted in a line of swimwear that includes bikinis, one-pieces, and girls’ styles.

    Fenty Beauty Soft’Lit Naturally Luminous Hydrating Longwear Foundation 

    It’s safe to say that since Fenty stepped on the scene, foundation has never been the same. Setting the bar for extensive shade ranges, the Riri-owned makeup company is back with an all-new formula, this time focusing on luminosity and hydration. Perfect for warmer weather, this foundation boasts long wear and medium coverage, promising a “golden hour glow”’ that lasts through sweat and humidity. Available in 50 shades, the non-greasy, lightweight formula is built to feel comfortable on the skin while still delivering that all-important luminous finish thanks to hydrating cyperus papyrus leaf cell extract and skin brightening kakadu plum extract.

    3.1 Phillip Lim Presents “Crafting Selfhood”

     
    It’s AAPI Heritage Month, and 3.1 Phillip Lim is marking the occasion with a special exhibition called “Crafting Selfhood.” Inspired by the brand’s new handbag collection, the ID, the exhibition features stunning ceramics and sculpture work from 13 Asian American women-identifying artists and designers, such as terracotta vessels by LA-based Myung Jin Kim and porcelain creatures created by Janny Beak. The exhibition will be on display at 3.1 Phillip Lim’s NYC flagship until May 23.

    Mansur Gavriel x Stamperia Pascucci’s Limited-Edition Capsule

    Designed in New York and created in Italy, Mansur Gavriel is the embodiment of accessible luxury. This season, the fashion brand known for its bucket bags embarks on its sixth collaboration with hand-printed canvas connoisseurs Stamperia Pascucci to create a beach-ready capsule collection,  inspired by all things seaside. Including striped ballet flats, totes and a sailboat-print beach towel in blue hues of the Mediterranean, this capsule has dolce vita  written all over it.

    The Ordinary Launches Non-Acid Exfoliating Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner 

    True beauty aficionados know that The Ordinary is one of the best budget-friendly skincare lines in the business. From its famous AHA + BHA 2% Peeling Solution to the armpit-friendly Glycolic Acid, the company is known for high-grade ingredients that work. This looks to be the case once again with the launch of its new non-acid exfoliating toner, which uses N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) to promote gentle surface exfoliation. Unlike an acid, this sensitive-skin friendly approach to exfoliating is all about harnessing the power of yeast ferment technology for smoother, hydrated skin. While this might sound super-sciency, the milky toner promises to reduce the look of dark spots, smooth skin texture and minimize the look of dark pores without the risk of acidic irritation, and for only £12.40, we’re sold.

    Barbie x Keds Collab

     
    In the mood for another Barbie-forward summer? Then the Barbie x Keds collab is for you. As part of the iconic doll brand’s 65th-anniversary festivities, the capsule collection features four types of platform shoes. There’s the Point Striped pointed-toe canvas sneaker in a black-and-white chevron print (just like the famous swimsuit from 1959) and an iridescent gold leather, a Mary Jane in bright pink with a white lug sole, and a metallic pink Triple Up sneaker with fuchsia laces. Prices start at $90.

    Telfar Launches Denim

     
    The good news? Celeb-loved handbag brand Telfar is expanding into denim. The even better news? The brand promises it won’t sell out immediately like its shopping totes, making it much less stressful to shop. According to the press release, Telfar Denim has been in the works for two-plus years as the team aimed to perfect the unisex fit, styles, and materials. Now, it has launched with nine versatile styles, including a baggy jean, a straight-leg pair with thigh cutouts, full-length and cropped denim jackets with detachable sleeves, and mini and maxi skirts.

    ILIA Launches Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon

    For those who find a lipstick bullet too chunky and instead opt for drawing in all-over lip color with a liner, this product is for you. ILIA’s new Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon is all about a nourishing feel with long-wear results. Unlike other lip crayons, this version can be sharpened just like a lip liner (big win), while still offering a thicker diameter for easy application. Plus, the formula has hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and rosehip oil, so lips can stay looking luscious all day long. It’s available in 12 different shades (the blue toned crimson is our current fave).

    Uniqlo x Marimekko Summer 2024

    Though it might not seem like it right now, hot weather is on the horizon. This means it’s time to plan some picnic ready looks, and luckily the new UNIQLO x Marimekko has arrived just in time to inject color into our warm-weather wardrobes. Inspired by the bright, bold patterns of the ’60s and ’70s, the collaboration is all about wearable maximalism, with block-printed tees, wavy midi dresses and floral shirts. For those obsessed with the viral UNIQLO bag, the Japanese retailer is stepping beyond its solid color designs with graphic prints that the Finnish brand is famous for, as well as offering matching kids clothes.

    LaPointe Launches Sunglasses

     
    “I’ve always wanted a pair of truly all-black sunglasses,” LaPointe founder and creative director Sally LaPointe said in a press release about her eponymous brand’s newest launch, a pair of sunglasses. “So I decided to go more discreet with the logo placement because it’s more about the vibe than brand visibility,” And with their oversized frame, flat-top silhouette, and logo etched on the inside the temple, LaPointe hopes “La-Sunglass” becomes your everyday pair for any outfit, occasion, and mood.

    Coachtopia is launching an upcycling campaign

    In recent years Coach has (once again) skyrocketed in popularity thanks to the viral Tiktok videos of bloggers restoring vintage bags from the brand . This interest in giving designer bags a new lease of life is explored in the new campaign for Coach’s eco-minded sister brand, Coachtopia, featuring the work of four designers with a love of upcycling. Some of the pieces include UK designer Tade Kayode-Newman’s version of the cult Ergo bag covered in recycled PET plastic spikes and NYC-based designers Anna Molinari’s and Zizi Zeng’s eyelet-embellished and lace bow-adorned bags, respectively. However, if handbags aren’t
    your vibe, the collection also includes a cute cherry graphic tee by designer Sabrina Lau.

    Glow Recipe Launches Dew Balm SPF Stick

    If you think of Glow Recipe, it’s likely that your mind jumps straight to the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops. The glowy serum has become a cult product online, thanks to its hyperpigmentation-reducing ingredients and shelfie-worthy bottle. Now, just in time for the summer heat, Glow Recipe has released a sister product in the form of a broad-spectrum SPF serum stick. Made to be the perfect day bag companion, the dewy formula is made for on-the-run sunscreen touch-ups, promising ultra hydration and SPF 30 (PA+++). Formulated with niacinamide, the stick aims to help even out skin tone over time while ingredients like hyaluronic acid hydrate the face and squalane soothes skin while still giving a glowy finish.

    Levi’s 2024 Spring/Summer WellThread® Capsule

    Jeans are one of the centrepieces of every wardrobe, and it’s even better if that denim is sustainably sourced. Continuing its initiative to reduce the chemical, energy and water impacts of clothing production, Levi’s is launching its latest WellThread capsule collection, which utilizes transitional cotton (cotton in the process of becoming organic) and plant-based dyes to create more planet-friendly denim designs. Our favorite pieces include the ceramic white boxy trucker jacket and the washed denim wildflower dress. However, the most eye-catching piece in the collection has to be the ’80s mom shorts featuring a diffused botanical print made from plant-based indigo ink.

    Refinery29 Loves: Everything To See & Shop In April

    [ad_1]

    Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find the best things to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.

    Yes, April enjoys giving us showers every now and then, but the smell of spring is in the air, meaning the chances of having sunny days in a row are getting closer by the minute.

    In the world of fashion, things have also been heating up thanks to a slew of celebrity-studded events. Beyoncé had everyone scrambling to find their cowboy hats and boots at the start of the month with the release of Cowboy Carter, while Zendaya has been capturing hearts with her tennis-inspired Challengers press tour looks, including a racket-adorned Thom Browne gown and Loewe tennis ball-spiked stilettos. 

    For the beauty fans, the arrival of Coachella marked a major moment in the makeup calendar, with Hollywood flocking to Palm Springs in an array of desert-designated looks. Megan Fox proved that blue is the color trend of the season by adding wavy extensions to her new seafoam bob. Gwen Stefani wore face gems and glitter liner for her performance with No Doubt, while Chloe Bailey had us reaching for our nearest purple shadow thanks to her heavenly all-lavender look.

    But if you’re searching for some fashion and beauty inspiration beyond the stage and screen this month, we’ve got you covered with an array of new products and collections turning heads.

    Skims Launches New Swim Shop 

    Pool weather is here — according to Skims, at least. The Kim Kardashian-owned brand just debuted its Swim Shop, which features brand-new styles, prints, and colors (think: mesh cover-ups, snake-print separates, and a bold ruby red) that will seriously up your beach style game.

    New York-based fans of RIXO — which is known for its vintage-inspired, pattern-forward pieces that have been worn by Kate Middleton — have reason to celebrate: The British fashion house has finally opened a pop-up shop in NYC’s SoHo neighborhood. Running for three months, the pop-up will offer a curated selection of core RIXO pieces, plus items from its SS24 collection in person.

    Re_Nuuly x Zero Waste Daniel 

    Upcycling takes center stage in the new collaboration between clothing rental subscription service Nuuly and Brooklyn-based designer Zero Waste Daniel. For the collection, Zero Waste Daniel upcycled 1,300 denim pieces from Nuuly’s retired rental inventory and used them to create 10 styles that have been added back to the service’s offerings. An A-line skirt, for example, was transformed into a Denim Cross Top, while the leftover material was incorporated into the Scrap Jacket. The capsule collection is part of the Re_Nuuly initiative, in which Nuuly repurposes old stock.

Once again, for the line, the Swedish brand put the spotlight on the artisans and craftsmanship behind its stylish pieces, and for spring/summer 2024, the limited-edition line looked to the elongated silhouettes and fluid fabrics of the ’90s for inspiration. Find extra-long boleros, crinkled chiffon blouses, bandeau maxi dresses with flared skirts, leather goods, and unisex jewelry.

    Charlotte Tilbury’s New Fragrance Collection

    Darlings, Ms. Tilbury has just announced a new emotion-filled fragrance collection and we are intrigued. Made with neuroscience experts and master perfumers, the collection aims to ignite deep feelings with the power of scent. While it’s well known that scent can unlock memories, the perfumes aim to trigger the olfactory receptors in the brain to feel emotions like love, calmness and even seduction. Our favorite of the scents has to be the happiness-inducing Joyforia, a warm and floral scent with notes of vanilla, coconut and ylang-ylang. However, for those who prefer something more woody, go for the Magic Energy, with notes of bergamot and palo santo.

    Jones Road Launches Tinted Lippie Sticks

    The Jones Road Miracle Balms might have put the brand on the map, but this month we’ve got our eye on the new tinted Lippie Sticks. For those who enjoy a traditional twist up lip balm, this thick stick is perfect for nourishing lips while still giving a subtle wash of color. For those who like a deep shade, the Blackberry tint is ideal for a just-bitten finish. But for those who are looking for something light for the spring season, Buff is the perfect peachy pink. Available in 11 different shades, the balm (made from plant-based oils and cocoa butter) is best for those looking to achieve a barely-there beauty look, engineered by a mastermind makeup artist.

    UGG x Collina Strada 

    UGG is synonymous with utilitarian winter boots, but thanks to the Tasman silhouette getting the It-Girl seal of approval (Selena Gomez is a fan!), the brand is back into the forefront of fashionable footwear. For the spring/summer season, the footwear brand is stepping away from the shearling linings and into the world of hot weather-appropriate styles thanks to a new collaboration with Collina Strada. Teaming up with the New York designer, the latest collection includes six new silhouettes, including floral lace-up sandals, Mary-Janes with spiked silver hardware and beaded flamingo-printed clogs.

    The Inkey List Body Care Launch

    Okay, the Inkey List may have made their name with super-affordable face products, but now, the internet-favorite brand is taking their talents over to body care. The first of the two products is the PHA Exfoliating and Hydrating Body Water Cream, a daily-use two-in-one lotion that promises to to exfoliate and add moisture with its non-comedogenic formula (ideal for those with breakout prone backs and chests). However, Inkey’s second body care product is the one we have our eye on, promising to target skin concerns like KP bumps, ingrown hairs and breakouts. The Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick, which comes in a deodorant-like formula, combines spot-fighting salicylic acid with glycolic acid and shea butter to tackle rough skin in all forms.

    Cartier to Launch C de Cartier Embroideries Tote

    When you think of Cartier, you likely think of the two-tone Panthère watch or the Love bracelet. But while Cartier might be most famous for its array of iconic jewelry, it also has a selection of luxury leather accessories. This April, the brand has launched a new luxury tote bag in two tasty colorways, including a deep cherry red and midnight black.

    Kate Somerville Launches HYDRAKATE Illuminating SPF 50+ Drops

    We all know that SPF is important all year round, but as the sun starts to rear its head a little more in spring, it’s something we should be seriously focusing on. Skincare brand Kate Somerville has a new formula just in time for the changing of the seasons, promising a hydrating and illuminating finish. Containing a high concentration of zinc oxide to protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays, the product also includes ectoin, a nourishing amino acid that supports the skin barrier and aims to combat skin damage caused by pollution. Plus with a light tint added into the formula, the SPF also promises to rid any white cast for a natural radiant finish that suits all skin tones.

    Refinery29 Loves: Everything To See & Shop In March

    [ad_1]

    Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find the best things to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.

    It’s March, which means winter is finally over (…kind of). While the first two months of the year have us deep in the blistering cold, March offers us a reminder of the new season to come, with spring shining right around the corner. For the fashion crowd, the start of the month draws the fall/winter 2024 show season to a close, with Paris Fashion Week rounding off a phenomenal month of eye-catching catwalks and show-stopping designs.

    From the instantly viral Coperni handbag (made from 99% air) to a Kate Moss doppelgänger at Marine Serre, the last few weeks of fashion have provided much to talk about. Still, while style has been taking center stage, beauty has been making movements too, with Pat McGrath practically breaking the internet with her porcelain-skin makeup at Margiela and Loewe proving that bowl cuts are the next “it” hair trend.

    But just because fashion month is over, doesn’t mean that the beauty and style space doesn’t have anything exciting left to offer. This month, an internet-favorite sunscreen is getting a makeover, alongside a star-studded campaign from a high-street sweetheart. To discover all the new March launches turning our heads this month, read on ahead.

    Veja Reissues OG Sneaker 

    Even if you don’t own a pair yourself, everyone who loves footwear knows about Veja. The French brand launched 20 years ago and quickly became known for its sleek styles, eco-conscious approach to design, and celeb fans (hi, Meghan Markle). Now, to celebrate the major milestone, Veja has reissued its original sneaker, The Volley. Inspired by Brazilian volleyball shoes from the 1970s, The Volley is now available in nine different colorways, made with super-soft leather from Uruguay and featuring rubber soles for extra comfort.

    Molly Goddard Launches New Bridal Collection 

    When we think of Molly Goddard, we think of voluminous dresses with frothy layers of tulle and taffeta that look like they belong in the pages of a fairy tale. The London-based designer delivers on all of this — and more — with her latest Bridal Collection. The range includes four dresses, each named for a month of spring. The March, for example, boasts a scoop neckline and filled skirt, while the June is a more understated silhouette with a drop-waist gathered skirt.

    Warby Parker x Theophilio 


    When Jamaican-American designer Edvin Thompson, of buzzy New York label Theophilio, and eyewear brand Warby Parker began talking about a potential partnership, Thompson knew he would want the resulting products to reflect his past, present, and future. That’s how the limited-edition Shaunie sunglasses — available in four colorways inspired by Jamaica (including a cool green-and-red combo and a sunny yellow) — were created. “These sunglasses are like a memoir for me,” Thompson said in a press release. “I see my adolescence and my parents in them, but I also see the shape of things still to come. This collaboration is all about where I’m coming from as a designer and where I’m going next.”

    COS Releases Their Spring Summer 2024 Collection Ad Campaign

    There are few high-street retailers that hold people’s attention more than COS. Popular for its chic simplicity at a (somewhat) affordable price point, the brand boasts some of the best chunky winter knits on the market. However, its warm-weather clothing is something to behold too, from fine linen trousers to expertly cut T-shirts. This year is no different, with the brand releasing their latest spring/summer campaign featuring tailored trench coats, lightweight suiting, and laidback athleisure. Starring BAFTA award-winning actor Jack O’Connell and musician and Brit-award nominee Rina Sawayama, the ocean-set shoot has us craving the return of the sunshine and an Aperol Spritz-sipping fit to match.

Sitting in the earthy and woody fragrance family, oud is well known for its sticky and smoky scent.

    Fresh Launches Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Ointment

    While we might be putting winter behind us, that doesn’t mean that the remnants of cold weather haven’t been putting our skin through it. Enter: Fresh’s Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Ointment. For the lip balm-obsessed, this new treatment promises to elevate your hydration game to the next level, thanks to a sweet and simple ingredient: sugar. Aiming to repair dry and flaky lips, the humble ingredient has been scientifically proven to soothe uncomfortable areas with long-lasting hydration. The new ointment also includes plant-based emollients for extra moisture, alongside ceramide NP, an all-star ingredient that prevents dehydration and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier.

    FARM Rio x Adidas Celebrates 10 Years 


    You know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun, which is precisely how Farm Rio and Adidas are celebrating 10 years of collaboration this March. Unveiling a new capsule collection to mark the relationship milestone, the commemorative drop will continue to merge the Brazilian fashion brand’s bold and bright patterned pieces with the sportswear giant’s famous three-stripe designs. While the anniversary means there will be multiple collections released throughout the year, the first is composed of 11 pieces and pays homage to the sun’s warmth with a series of groovy prints in bold reds, yellows, and oranges. From shirts to sports bras, this is one collection we have our eye on for the spring season ahead.

    Rathbornes’ Dublin Dusk Scented Luxury Candle

    This candle isn’t new — in fact the Dublin-based company dates back to 1488! — but they are 1000% worth a shoutout. The weighty pieces look like stunning centerpieces, the scents are subtle but robust (my fave, Dublin Dusk, has notes of oud, cedar, and ginger) and they last way longer than a typical Bachelor relationship. (P.S. That long burn time is partially due to a two-day pouring technique.) I’ll take 100, please.

    What I’m wearing: “Starting from the top, I’m wearing a wool black cap that was my brother’s. Both the shirt and sweater are thrift finds. The pants have been in my closet forever. All my earrings are mix/matched, there’s some that are the same, some aren’t. I have a gold necklace from a childhood friend. The rest of the jewelry is pretty much a collection from local businesses in Savannah and others bought from accessory design students! The shoes are Dr. Martens. I like them because they have fluffy bottoms. I’m also wearing a Smokey the Bear tote bag.”

    Simone Rocha Launches “The Valentine Bag”

    Straight off the back of a hugely successful Couture Week collection with Jean Paul Gaultier, Simone Rocha is launching sweet treats for Valentine’s Day. The Irish designer is bringing love in the form of a top-handle Valentine bag featuring the brand’s signature floral pearls. Available in two sizes, the handcrafted leather bags come in four different colorways, including classic cream and baby pink, alongside moodier iterations like oxblood and jet black. Each bag comes with two customizations: a crystal beaded charm (complete with the designer’s synonymous bow) or a pearl crossbody strap. Happy Love Day, indeed.

    Hair by Sam McKnight Launches Love Me Do Nourishing Oil

    When we think about some of the world’s most famous faces, such as Princess Diana, Kate Moss, and Lady Gaga, one thing they all have in common is their hairstylist: Sam McKnight. A legend in his own right, McKnight has been behind some of the most iconic, high-profile magazine covers and runway looks. Now, his namesake brand is launching a “foolproof” hair oil that’s perfect for the dry winter season. The serum-oil hybrid includes three seed oils for extra nourishment and deep, penetrating conditioning so your hair can wave goodbye to flyaways and welcome in weightless shine.

    La Roche-Posay Launches Mela B3 Serum

    French pharmacies are known for their gentle but effective ingredients, and La Roche-Posay is perhaps the most recognizable of the bunch. For winter, the brand launched an anti-hyperpigmentation serum that aims to correct the appearance of dark spots (even if they’re longstanding) and skin unevenness. Working alongside well-known skin saviors such as niacinamide, retinol, and hyaluronic acid is Melasyl™, a new, multi-patented ingredient described as an active “melanin trapper.” The powerful yet lightweight serum brightens the most stubborn dark spots while maintaining the ever-important skin barrier. Expect visible results in just 12 weeks.

    Known best for its dickey jackets and classically cool denim, New York-based fashion brand Veronica Beard is expanding its offering with the introduction of handbags. Having forayed into footwear in 2017, the brand’s newest non-apparel launch includes seven silhouettes in a range of sizes, colors, and fabrics such as leather, canvas and raffia.

    L’Oréal Paris Launches Panorama Mascara 

    If the eyes are the window to the soul, then our eyelashes act as very important curtains. While some may say that all mascaras are created equal, we know that a big, fluffy brush is the only way to build an elite eyelash and L’Oréal Paris often has some of the best affordable options in the game. Dubbed its biggest makeup launch of the year, the brand is changing the lash game with the new Panorama Mascara. For those looking for a pumped-up lash look, the mascara uses a new multi-level bristle brush that makes lashes look 1.4 times bigger. No lash is left unturned as the brush is engineered to catch every individual lash (including the pesky corner pieces), and the mascara is made with a clump-free formula that’s buildable for both a subtle or statement eye.

    Zara Haircare With Guido Palau

    Phlur Mood Ring Eau De Parfum

    Last year, the launch of Phlur’s “Missing Person” perfume sent the internet into a tailspin. Now, the viral fragrance makers are back with an all-new scent, this time with candy lovers in mind. Inspired by fruit gummies, the neon green bottle is packed with dragonfruit top notes, orange flower heart notes and sheer amber base notes, making it the perfect present for the sweet tooth in your life (even if that means buying it for yourself).

    Ouai Hair Gloss

    We all know about the benefits of hyaluronic acid in skincare, but how about in haircare too? The latest launch from Ouai combines the super-hydrating ingredient with nourishing rice water to help promote super shiny lengths, growth and improve overall hair health. Unlike other more traditional shine products, the gloss is designed to be used as part of your hair washing routine — but don’t worry, the formula contains sugar beets to help keep your colour protected.

    Il Makiage Uncensored Plumping Gloss

Available in five different shades (“Lights On” is our personal fave), this plumping gloss goes way beyond tingles to give you the perfect peppermint pout.

    Not a member of the pumpkin spice brigade? Fret not. Beneath the piles of long-sleeve dresses and balaclavas were timeless discounted buys from two major sale events: Amazon Prime Big Deal Days and Way Day 2023 — we’re talking dashing accent cabinets, top-rated tech, and editor-adored mattresses.
