1. Party in pink
Barbie fever has taken the world by storm as of late, and since the global release of the film last week, the colour pink has never been more en vogue. If, like us, you’re wanting to bring a bit of Barbiecore to your own wardrobe, then the new Zara x Barbie collection is sure to please. Inspired by the doll’s many whimsical and kitsch ensembles featured throughout the film, the collection is a medley of sparkles, denim, gold, and, naturally, a plethora of pink to dazzle your senses. Including pyjamas, dresses, blazers and accessories borrowed from the doll herself (and even clothes for the Ken in your life) Zara has truly brought Barbie to the real world.

2. Plant powered
Crafted with meticulous care for both the planet and people, ManukaRx has just added a new range onto its existing line of mānuka-based skincare, the Collagen Restore collection. Replacing their beloved Pro-Aging collection, the Collagen Restore range has been formulated with improved ingredients that help to hydrate the skin and minimise the appearance of fine lines. “The Collagen Restore Collection features restorative East Cape mānuka oil and rosehip oil in every product, working synergistically to naturally boost collagen production,” says ManukaRx in-house chemist Merve Samur. “We have also updated our formulas to include the latest and best natural ingredients on offer, such as red microalgae, hyaluronic acid, sphingolipids, avocado oil, green tea extract and more.” If your current regime is in need of a little enhancement, the brand’s new Restorative Skin Oil, Firming Day Cream, Nourishing Night Cream and Restorative Eye Cream will give your skin a much-needed boost of hydration.

3. Terrific textures
Known for their sculptural silhouettes and sophisticated tailoring, designers Lauren Tapper and Sarah Harris Gould of Harris Tapper have just debuted their AW23 collection this week, and to say we’re obsessed would be an understatement. While you’ll find their signature tailored suiting and structural dress styles peppered throughout the collection, this season demonstrates a shift in focus for the brand, where tactile textures reign supreme. From the suede-feel cotton shirting and wool coating to the new beaded satin styles, each piece strikes a balance between comfort and luxury.

4. Smell the roses
Our skin could always use a little extra moisture during the cool winter months, and thanks to a new skincare release by Dior, we’re giving it exactly that. Infused with the stabilising yeast extract from the Rose de Granville (Dior’s specially-grown cosmetic roses) Dior’s Prestige La Micro-Lotion De Rose Advanced Formula helps to reinforce and balance the skin’s delicate microbiome. Enhanced with purifying micro-nutrients, rose oily extract and hyaluronic acid, this formula promises stronger, smoother skin, and hydration that lasts up to 48 hours. J’adore!
