Here’s what’s currently living rent-free in our heads (and hopefully, soon, in your wardrobe).
1. Editorial Pick: The Canvas Bag That’s Giving Main Character Energy
Miu Miu Beau Canvas and Leather Bag, £2,400
Classic, structured, a little bookish—but in a Sofia Coppola film kind of way. The leather-meets-canvas combo is equal parts refined and relaxed. Picture it: coffee in one hand, this bag in the other, headed to a gallery. Pure cool-girl academia.
2. A Coffee Table Book That Feels Like a Hug
Ruth Asawa: Retrospective, £49.98
Ruth Asawa’s wire sculptures are all grace and quiet power. This book feels like stepping into a warm, creative cocoon. A must-have for design lovers, artist souls, and anyone who’s ever doodled in the margins of a notebook and called it poetry.
3. From This Week’s Editorial Picks: The Blush Everyone’s Smiling About
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush in Happy, £26
This blush is like sunlight in compact form. The shade “Happy” lives up to its name—soft, glowy, and universally flattering. If you’ve ever wanted that just-back-from-a-walk flush (without the actual walk), this is it.
4. Balletcore Meets Weekend Casual
Vivaia Yanka Satin Sneakerina in Peach Blush, £112.53
If a satin ribbon and a sneaker had a baby—this would be it. The Vivaia Yanka gives off low-key ballerina off-duty vibes, but make it eco. Perfect for running errands or pirouetting into brunch.
5. A Cuff That Deserves Its Own Instagram
Hugo Kreit Flower Hand Cuff in Gold, £428
This is not your average jewellery moment. It’s part sculpture, part fashion statement, and 100% main character energy. Wear it with anything, and instantly feel like the lead in a futuristic fairytale.
6. Editor’s Choice: The Beret That Started the Spiral
Gigi Burris Coco Beret in Black, $307
Chic, mysterious, and maybe just a little bit French cinema heroine. The Coco beret by Gigi Burris is the kind of accessory that changes your walk. Throw it on, and suddenly everything feels more poetic—even your morning commute.
Final Thoughts
That wraps up this week’s editorial director picks. These are the kind of pieces that turn “just getting dressed” into a whole mood. Personally? That blush and that Satin Sneakerina are already in my basket. So if you’ve been looking for a little Spring refresh, consider this your sign. Fashion doesn’t have to shout to be powerful. Sometimes, it just wears a satin sneaker and carries a canvas tote.
