ALIGNE Astrid Poplin Shirt
ALIGNE Astrid Poplin Shirt, £89
One of our forever wardrobe staples? A great shirt. It’s the kind of piece that works hard at every stage: during pregnancy, in postpartum, and long after. Wear it open over a maternity tank while pregnant, then throw it on over a nursing bra in those early postpartum days if you’re breastfeeding. Easy, versatile, and effortlessly chic, it’s the sort of item you’ll come back to again and again.
Aligne is one of our favourite London brands for that cool, modern British style, and the Astrid Poplin Shirt is no exception. Made from 94% organic cotton, it feels wonderfully soft and luxurious, while the fresh spring colour adds just the right amount of brightness to your wardrobe. Shop it here.
Veronique Gabai x Kelly Rutherford Rose Première Eau de Parfum
Veronique Gabai x Kelly Rutherford Rose Première Eau de Parfum, £260
The start of spring is the perfect time to invest in a fragrance that feels fresh, uplifting and full of possibility. And for us, it has to be Véronique Gabai x Kelly Rutherford Rose Première Eau de Parfum, our fragrance collaboration of the year.
Picked in Grasse on the Côte d’Azur each May, when its scent is at its most radiant, the rose at the heart of Rose Première feels especially refined. Created in collaboration with fashion icon Kelly Rutherford, the fragrance reflects a shared appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship and wellbeing. The Rose de Mai accord is layered with bright citrus notes and grounded by a warm, musky cedarwood base, creating a scent that feels both elegant and timeless. Shop it here.
Prioritise This: A Practical Guide for Thriving in a World That Won’t Slow Down by Lily Silverton
Prioritise This: A Practical Guide for Thriving in a World That Won’t Slow Down by Lily Silverton, £20
We’re so excited about the launch of Prioritise This by Lily Silverton. It feels like exactly the kind of book so many mothers could use right now. With its thoughtful, practical approach to navigating stress, overwhelm and the mental load of modern life, it speaks to a challenge so many women know all too well. Written by Lily, a mother of two, the book feels especially relatable, offering thoughtful support from someone who understands the demands of modern motherhood first-hand. Shop it here.
REFY Skin Base Skin Tint
REFY Skin Base Skin Tint, £30
For spring, we’re always drawn to beauty that feels fresh, effortless and easy to wear, and REFY Skin Base is exactly that. A hydrating gel skin tint with light, buildable coverage and a natural, real-skin finish, it’s the kind of everyday base that gives skin a healthy, polished look without ever feeling heavy.
We love REFY for its modern, pared-back approach to beauty, and this feels like one of those products that slips seamlessly into your routine. With skincare-led ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, plus a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula, it’s designed to hydrate, smooth and keep skin looking fresh throughout the day. Shop it here.
The Heavenly London Sample Sale
One of our favourite British jewellery brands, Heavenly London, has its sample sale on now until 5 April, making it the perfect moment to add a forever piece to your jewellery collection at a beautifully reduced price.
Is it too soon to be dreaming about the perfect summer and holiday bag? Probably not. We love this Boden Raffia tote for how expensive it looks without the eye-watering price tag, and honestly, that may be what we love most about it.
Effortless, chic and endlessly useful, it’s the kind of bag that instantly makes everything feel a little more pulled together, whether you’re staying in the city or heading somewhere sunnier. Shop it here.
You’re Looking Well Discovery Set
You’re Looking Well Discovery Set, £25
If you’re in the mood for a beauty and wellbeing reset, YLW Club’s Discovery Kit feels like such a good place to start. Combining clinically proven skincare and supplements to support deeper sleep, better gut health and glowing skin, it’s a clever, all-in-one approach to feeling more like yourself again. With Day Cream, Day Pill, Night Cream and Night Pill inside, it’s an easy way to try the full routine before committing. Shop it here.
Joolz Aer ² Limited Edition Calming Beige
Joolz Aer ² Limited Edition Calming Beige, £449
In the midst of the beautiful chaos of parenting, anything that brings a sense of calm feels especially welcome, which is exactly why Joolz’s new limited-edition Aer² in Calming Beige caught our eye. What we love most is the colour: chic, fresh and unlike anything we’ve really seen before, it brings a softer, more elevated feel to everyday parenting.
Inspired by Japanese Zen gardens, the design feels soothing and modern, while the stroller itself is lightweight, compact and brilliantly easy to use. A stylish launch, yes, but also one that feels genuinely thoughtful for modern parents. Shop it here.
