The Five | 16
A curated selection of items I’m loving right now — from wardrobe staples and everyday essentials to beauty must-haves, and more.
01
Zooki | Super Strength Marine Collagen
I first tried Zooki as part of a paid collaboration — and I’ve taken it every day since. It’s honestly that good. The strongest marine collagen out there, and the Sour Cherry flavour is so delicious I wish I could have more than one a day.
02
Tatcha | The Serum Stick
A makeup artist used this on me recently and I was instantly obsessed. I ordered one straight away and have been using it ever since for quick pre-makeup touch-ups in areas where my skin needs a little extra hydration. It’s brilliant for reviving dry patches without disturbing makeup, and it also works well tapped onto the high points of the face as a subtle, dewy highlighter.
The formula is packed with skin-loving ingredients such as Japanese lemon balm to help calm inflammation and soften the look of fine lines, and squalane to moisturise and support the skin barrier. I also love how compact it is — great for keeping in your bag for glow on the go.
03
Otiumberg | Twisted Ridged Cuff
I wear Otiumberg ear cuffs every day — they’ve really become part of my signature style. Even when I’m wearing the simplest outfit, putting my cuffs on instantly makes me feel more polished and put together. This one is next on my wishlist. I love it in both gold and silver, and I’d wear it either on its own for something minimal or stacked for a layered look.
This week, paid subscribers received Heist Studios at Selfridges — stepping inside the Body Studio with Aimée Croysdill.
04
Massimo Dutti | Soft Leather Lace-Up Shoes
I’ve got my eye on these for my upcoming safari trip — they feel perfect for that kind of setting. It’s important to me that holiday pieces work just as well on holiday as they do back home, and these would transition easily into spring styling too. I’m imagining them with white jeans and a relaxed shirt for an effortless, warm-weather look.
05
Massimo Dutti | Oversize Nappa Leather Jacket
I tried this on recently, and I can’t stop thinking about it. The leather is soft and lightweight, making it perfect for layering without feeling bulky. I especially like the adjustable drawstring hem, allowing you to create a beautiful bubble shape.
It’s exactly the kind of versatile piece I know I’d wear on repeat — whether on cooler spring days or into early summer evenings. This one’s definitely staying on my wishlist while I think about all the ways I’d style it!
Until next time,
