Fuchsia Shaw Arden Quilt Jacket, £225
A great transitional jacket is one of those pieces we start thinking about the second September arrives, and Fuchsia Shaw’s Arden Quilt in Midnight Bloom feels especially good for the season ahead. We love the vintage-inspired floral print, romantic without feeling overly pretty, and the oversized, quilted shape gives it that effortless, throw-on appeal we always want from autumn outerwear.
Made from 100% printed linen and quilted for warmth, it has a high funnel neck, three oversized patch pockets and plenty of room for layering underneath. It’s the kind of jacket we can see working with denim now, then chunky knits and boots once the temperature really starts to drop. The ideal school drop off jacket. Find it here.
Sézanne Gary Maxi Bag
Sézanne Gary Maxi Bag, £340
Already on our autumn bag wish list? Sézane’s Gary Maxi. Oversized, soft and effortlessly chic, it has that perfect balance of practicality and polish. We love how easy it feels, but still has enough shape and detail to make even the simplest outfit look more put together. A very good everyday tote for the season ahead. Find it here.
Sarah Jossel’s Diary of a Beauty Editor
Sarah Jossel’s Diary of a Beauty Editor Hardback Book, £20
If there’s one person we’re happy to take beauty advice from, it’s Sarah Jossel. After years spent testing, reviewing and cutting through the noise as one of the UK’s most trusted beauty editors, her book Diary of a Beauty Editor brings together what actually works, what doesn’t, and the products and advice genuinely worth paying attention to.
We love that it feels practical rather than preachy, a smart, honest guide for anyone who wants to make better beauty choices without getting swept up in every new trend. Exactly the kind of book we want within reach when we’re wondering whether something is genuinely worth the hype. Find it here.
Rocco Happy Eyes Collagen Eye Patches
Rocco Happy Eyes Collagen Eye Patches, from £6
Rocco Beauty is Laura Jackson’s new beauty brand, which immediately put it on our radar, and the Happy Eyes Collagen Eye Patches feel like such a good introduction. They’re exactly the kind of quick fix we love for busy mornings. Designed to help with puffiness, dryness and that generally tired look, with vegan collagen, hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica in the formula.
We also love that they’re slip-proof, so you can actually get on with your morning while wearing them, and the multipack gives you three pairs to keep on hand for travel, early starts or those emergency “I need to look more awake” moments. Chic, useful and very much the kind of new beauty launch we’re excited to try. Find them here.
TRACES Wine
TRACES Wines, from £11.99
TRACES feels like such a smart discovery for anyone who still wants a proper glass of wine, just in a slightly lighter way. The brand creates award-winning wines and spritzes with zero sugar and fewer calories than many standard wines, without trying to strip away the experience or enjoyment of drinking them. Its Sauvignon Blanc, for example, comes in at 78 calories per 125ml glass.
We also like that the brand takes a more considered approach to how its wines are made, working with winemakers and HVE-certified vineyards. It feels modern, uncomplicated and exactly the kind of bottle we’d happily have chilled in the fridge for an easy dinner with friends or one of those much-needed catch-up evenings. Find them here.
Heaven Mayhem Bebe Earrings
Heaven Mayhem Bebe Earrings, £58
What we love most about Heaven Mayhem’s Bebe Earrings is how tiny they are. They’re the kind of earrings you can wear every single day without thinking about them. Subtle, polished and just interesting enough thanks to the mixed-metal finish. Perfect on their own, easy to stack, and exactly the sort of little jewellery staple that ends up becoming part of your everyday uniform. Find them here.
Flattered Monroe Boots
Flattered Monroe Boots, £275
