1. Wear: clothing that makes an impression
We often reach for clothes that boost our confidence or aid us in making a strong impression, and the latest Forever capsule styles by Maggie Marilyn do just that.
Capsule highlights include eye-catching colours and statement silhouettes suitable for work and evening occasions, all of which fit seamlessly into your existing wardrobe.
Being the sixteenth Forever capsule to date, its release marks a couple of milestones for the Aotearoa label, including its recent B Corporation accreditation in recognition of its high environmental performance. Maggie Marilyn also opened the doors to its first-ever international home in Sydney’s Paddington district this week, the latest capsule campaign imagery captured on nearby streets.
2. Try: a delicious concoction for beauty from the inside out
If you desire a pleasant-tasting collagen supplement to integrate into your daily routine, we recommend trying the latest from Dr. LeWinn’s. The Australian cosmeceutical skincare brand has extended its Marine Collagen Peptide+ Inner Beauty Liquid Shots range, offering a new and refreshing orange and mango flavour.
The delectable concoction promises visibly brighter, luminous, and plump skin, not to mention an increase in hydration and an improved complexion. Being 97% sugar-free, it’s a guilt-free solution to revitalising your skin, hair, and nail health from within. Pleasant to consume, the liquid shots can be taken on their own, added to still or sparkling water, or mixed into your favourite smoothie.
3. Plan: make 2023 your best year yet with this stylish & functional diary collection
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of An Organised Life, the luxurious stationery brand has released its 2023 diary, set to be its best edition yet. Housing everything from personal appointments, work reminders, to-do lists and more, the 2023 diaries are presented in a statement box, designed to sit on a desk or bookshelf.
Founder Beck Wadworth’s vision is that at the end of each year, customers can store their diaries in the boxes as a keepsake to reflect on in years to come, being a ritual Wadworth is fond of. “A lot can happen in a year”, she says.

4. Covet: a French clean beauty brand comes to Aotearoa
The realms of luxury and sustainability have traditionally been strange bedfellows, but Parisian-born beauty house La Bouche Rouge proves that doesn’t have to be the case. The to-die-for La Bouche Rouge make-up collection has touched down in Aotearoa for the first time, courtesy of our favourite luxury destination, Faradays.
And while the lip colours, eye palettes, and bronzers are incredibly dreamy, there’s much more to these little beauties than meets the eye. Incredibly wearable shades and exceptional skin health-enhancing formulas aside, caring for the planet and its people is a big part of the La Bouche Rouge ethos.
Faradays co-founder Constance von Dadelszen says it was love at first sight when she discovered La Bouche Rouge while wandering around Paris’ most-loved department store, La Bon Marché. “I was seduced by the packaging, the French cool girl colours, and the customisation. But then I listened to the founder’s story, imbued with passion for clean beauty and sustainability, and I fell hard,” von Dadelszen says.

5. Watch: the story of an extraordinary fashion icon
Her name is synonymous with British fashion in the ’60s and ’70s (including the miniskirt!), and now the story of influential designer Dame Mary Quant is being shown on the big screen.
Directed by Sadie Frost, the feature documentary reveals Quant’s ground-breaking outlook on style and her quest to build a global empire, incorporating fashion, cosmetics, and homewares under her namesake label.
Comprised of archive footage and original interviews from Quant’s friends and modern-day style leaders, Quant is in cinemas nationwide from 18 August.
