By Alice Codford
Emma Grede Start With Yourself Book
Emma Grede Start With Yourself Book, £25
We’re very into Start With Yourself by Emma Grede right now, a smart, timely read from one of the most influential women in business. Framed as “a new vision for work and life,” the book is all about getting clear on what you want, letting go of the ideas that hold you back, and moving forward with more confidence. It feels especially relevant for women juggling ambition, family life and everything in between. Thoughtful, empowering and exactly the kind of book we want to have on our bedside table.

Aya Halo Hoop Earrings
Aya Halo Hoop Earrings, £195
A great pair of hoops will always earn their place in a jewellery collection, and these AYA Halo Hoops feel especially chic. Founded by Chelsy Davy, AYA is known for jewellery that feels modern, distinctive and beautifully considered, and these earrings are no exception. We love their white gold finish, but what makes them even more special is the reversible design, giving you two looks in one, with a more vintage-inspired black gold reverse. Elegant, versatile and just different enough to stand out, they’re the kind of piece that instantly elevates everything. Shop them here.
Mother.fm
We love discovering platforms that feel genuinely useful for mothers, and mother.fm by Georgia Devon-Shelley is exactly that. Designed as a pocket-sized pep talk for motherhood, it offers thoughtful, neuroscience-informed audio tools created for the reality of modern motherhood, whether that’s a pram walk, a 3am feed or a moment of overwhelm in between. Smart, practical and incredibly well considered, it feels like the kind of support so many mothers could genuinely benefit from. Find out more about it here.
Smoosh Elevated Baby Skincare
We’re very excited about the launch of Smoosh, a new elevated baby skincare brand that feels beautifully considered from the outset. Founded by close friends and mothers Sophie and Victoria, the UK-made range is designed to be gentle enough for newborns while still being effective for sensitive skin, and we love that it brings a more elevated, design-led feel to an often very functional category.
Thoughtful, chic and created by mothers who wanted something more for their own babies, it feels like exactly the kind of launch worth knowing about. Shop it here.
Rhode x The Biebers Peptide Lip Treatment
Rhode x Justin Bieber Peptide Lip Treatment, £20
Ever since Justin Bieber’s Coachella performances, we’ve had a little bit of Bieberchella on our minds so Rhode’s Peptide Lip Treatment in Caramelised Banana feels especially timely. It’s a limited-edition treatment created in collaboration with Justin Bieber, and it has exactly the glossy, easy cool-girl feel we want from a beauty pick right now.
We love that it gives lips that nourishing, high-shine finish rhode is known for, but with a sweet caramelized banana twist that feels playful, fresh and just the right amount of nostalgic. Shop it here.
M&S Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket
M&S Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket, £65
A great spring jacket can make even the simplest outfit feel pulled together, and this M&S Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket is exactly that kind of piece. We love the Natural Beige shade, soft, chic and incredibly easy to wear, while the satin finish gives it a more elevated feel than you might expect. It looks far more expensive than its £65 price tag, which, naturally, we love even more. With its funnel neck, ribbed cuffs and hem, and clean zip-front shape, it has that perfect balance of polished and effortless that works so well for this time of year. Shop it here.
COS Perfumery Foret Scented Candle
COS Perfumery Foret Scented Candle, £35
If there’s one thing we’re always happy to add to our homes, it’s a beautifully scented candle, and COS’s Forêt feels especially chic. Fresh pine and eucalyptus give it a clean, uplifting feel, while fir, cedarwood and soft leathery notes add warmth and depth. It’s crisp, calming and quietly luxurious, exactly the kind of scent we love. Shop it here.
RIXO x Dragon Diffusion Amoria Leather Bag
RIXO x Dragon Diffusion Amoria Leather Bag, £285
