1. Scentsory elegance
New signature scent alert! We love Aēsop’s range of unique earthy fragrances, and their latest release, Gloam, is no different. Created in partnership with Aēsop’s long-time fragrance collaborator Barnabé Fillion, Gloam is an Eau de Parum that features an enchanting combination of rich florals, warm spice and a woody base to awaken the senses. Beginning with top notes of pink pepper, cardamom and orange flower, Gloam shifts into middle notes of saffron, jasmine sambac and mimosa, before finishing on a powdery base of iris, patchouli and copaiba. Encased in the ever-chic Aēsop glass bottle, Gloam is set to become our top fragrance pick for the cooler months.

3. Coveted Couture
We’re celebrating the bold, boundary-breaking essence of Thierry Mugler this week with H&M’s coveted new collaboration, Mugler H&M. This collection, featuring womenswear, menswear, and accessories, is a celebration of Mugler’s trailblazing legacy of body positivity, gender fluidity, and transformative fashion. Current creative director, Casey Cadwallader, pays homage to Mugler’s iconic history while bringing a renewed, contemporary quality to the collection. Each piece is recognisable and other-worldly, featuring strong shoulders, contoured lines and a pronounced focus on the waist. Launching at Commercial Bay in Tamaki Makaurau on the 11th of May, you’ll have the chance to own a piece of Mugler’s legacy.
4. Woman’s best friend
Some things are simply improved by the accompaniment of something else. Think: wine with friends, breakfast in bed on a sunday, or coffee and a pain au chocolat… For New Zealand shoe designer Nicole Rebstock, it’s shoes and dogs. Which is why she’s named her winter collection “Lady & the Pack.” Stemming from her love of shoes and dogs, each week she has been showcasing a new style from her collection on her social media, introduced with a loveable pooch. With a focus on comfort and aesthetic design, each pair is made with high-quality materials and timeless silhouettes. The collection aims to celebrate the art of shoemaking and to provide a little bit of joy and support to people’s everyday lives. The collection includes designs that reflect the lasting and feminine style that Nicole Rebstock is known for – for example, their Nemesis heels in black suede – as well as modern classics such as her Anya loafers and Naomi ankle boots. But if we had to take our pick from the collection, it would be the chic and cosy Noelle knee-high boot… Now, that’s an iconic pair if we ever saw one.

5. Flower power
We’re feeling rosy this week following the latest collection release from esteemed jewellers, Zoë and Morgan. Aptly named Petal, the collection features a scintillating array of styles which draw inspiration from the patterns and shapes found in flowers. Petals serve their purpose in nature as both a protector of the delicate parts of a flower and an attractive feature for pollinators – a sentiment which is echoed within this collection – as each piece aims to bring beauty and strength to the wearer. With a selection of dreamy pastel stones such as White Zircon, Apatite, Rose Quartz and Aquamarine, the collection’s colour palette is reminiscent of a striking bouquet. In addition to the empowering quality of the petal symbol, these stones contain a variety of uplifting properties to give you that added spring in your step – making them the perfect accessories to adorn yourself with this autumn.
