The Five | 27
A curated selection of things I’m loving right now — from wardrobe staples and everyday essentials to beauty must-haves and more.
01
Sophie Lou Jacobsen | Sculptural Spiral Coasters
I came across these coasters by Sophie Lou Jacobsen while browsing The Oblist — one of my favourite sites to visit when I’m in the mood for interiors inspiration. I love the sculptural shape and finish; they feel playful while still fitting perfectly into a more minimal space. And, if like me you enjoy discovering unique homeware and emerging designers, I’d really recommend spending some time on there.
02
Lido | Venti Triangle Bikini
I’ve just been kindly sent the bikini above, as well as this swimsuit, and I love the simplicity of the designs — particularly the thin straps and the quality. I mainly wear swimsuits as bodysuits with trousers throughout the summer, while a string bikini is my go-to for maximum skin exposure on the beach when I’m on holiday. I also like a high-waisted style as a slightly more modest option for work trips, so this will be in my next order.
I’m very boring when it comes to swimwear and usually opt for black, but Lido does some amazing colourways that I’m definitely tempted by.
03
Matteau | Voyager Square Frame Acetate Sunglasses
You know I’m a sucker for sunglasses, and I’ve been wearing these non-stop recently. I was sent them as part of my Matteau wardrobe for a recent trip to Italy with them (more on that soon), and I’ve found they go with so many looks because they’re such a classic style. They feel like a more updated version of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer, which I’ve always been a fan of.
04
SKALL | Edgard Organic Cotton-Poplin Shirt
As someone who usually doesn’t wear colour, I’ve been wearing a lot of it recently. New in is this shirt from SKALL’s latest collection, and I absolutely love it. It looks great with white trousers or jeans, and I’ve been pairing it with my Zara x Aaron Levine green tote for a full colour-on-colour moment ;)
Cobalt blue is definitely having its own moment, and it’s a colour I’m really enjoying wearing, so I’m very here for it. I’m thinking particularly of these trousers from my good friend Lucy Williams’s recent collection with With Nothing Underneath, as well as LESET’s sell-out Margo tee in a similar shade.
05
The Row | City Flip Flops
I’m predicting that these will be my shoe of the summer. They’re easily my most worn shoes of late, and SO comfortable. They’re an elevated flip-flop, so they make even the most casual outfit feel a little dressier.
Until next time,
— Alexis x
