1. Perfect fit
In case you needed more of an incentive to turn to retail therapy this week, Wynn Hamlyn’s Pre-fall ‘23 collection has just landed in stores and online. Titled ‘The Jigsaw’, the collection features an enticing assortment of tessellating patterns, cut-outs and structured silhouettes that draw inspiration from the structure of a puzzle. Leaning on a more muted palette of black, ivory, grey and tan, the collection is punctuated with pops of scarlet, teal and olive for vibrance. With everything from slouchy track pants, to luxurious knits and statement dresses, these pieces can slip seamlessly into your wardrobe as trans-seasonal staples.
Shop ‘The Jigsaw’ in-store or online now.
2. Morning rituals
Designed to build resilience through the act of routine, restaurateur and entrepreneur Mimi Gilmour Buckley has debuted her evidence-based skincare range IAMMI this week after years of development. Alongside their first three products – Olympia Glow Nourishing Serum, Reflection Balm, and Reset Balm – the brand has also released a collection of organic face cloths and a free IAMMI app that redefines the daily skincare ritual into a grounding five-minute wellbeing practice. Focused on crafting a collection that is steeped in local authenticity and natural purity, you’ll find nourishing ingredients such as New Zealand green tea, kawakawa and mānuka honey throughout the range.

3. Scent of the season
Hosting over 60 classes a week, from reformer pilates and yoga to guided sound baths, Auckland’s movement studio Sala has become one of our go-to destinations for a bit of gentle movement or R&R. Providing an immersive sensory experience in each class, the studio is now offering members the chance to bring the studio vibe home with them, with the launch of their new seasonal incense range. Each box of incense is adorned with vibrant hues, holding within it a meaningful mantra that mirrors the energy of its corresponding season. Crafted from sustainably sourced woods and high quality essential oils, these delicately fragrant incense sticks can bring a touch of the sacred into your everyday routine.
Incense is available to purchase in studio at Sala.
4. Helping hand
With 29,000 people diagnosed with cancer each year in Aotearoa, many of us know of someone who is fighting cancer. For more than thirty years, Look Good Feel Better has been providing cancer patients with the opportunity to connect with each other through a variety of free programmes. Focused on the skin, hair, body and mind, the classes help patients to feel their best while navigating cancer – from mastering the art of drawing perfect brows to managing hair loss and regrowth. With July marking ‘Feel Better Month’ for the organisation, Look Good Feel Better is partnering with Farmers to help raise money for their programmes. For the whole of July, Farmers and their participating beauty brands will donate $1 each from selected products to the organisation. With brands such as MAC, Lancôme, Antipodes, and Yves Saint Laurent among the participants, this the perfect opportunity to replenish your beloved beauty essentials while making a difference.
Head to your local Farmers or find out more about Feel Good Look Better at their website.
