Current Bodycare Favourites: My Updated Picks

💡

Editor's Note (2026): Kayo ceased operations in early 2024. I've kept this post because these were favourites of mine, but the products are no longer available. I've included alternative recommendations below for anyone looking for similar results.

Gold, Pearls and Texture: My Summer Jewellery Update

Last summer, I found myself reaching for warm golds, pearls and gemstones. Looking back, though, I've realised it wasn't just the warmth and rich tones of the gold, organic shapes of the pearls or the beauty of the gemstones that drew me in; it was also

The Black Dresses I Reach for All Year Round

Even though my go-to style is jeans paired with a tee, a button-down shirt, or any nice top, I do have some dresses I reach for now and then, especially when I need to feel instantly put together without overthinking it. I’ve also realised that not all
