Olivia Burton Grove Watches
We absolutely love a classic accessory with a twist, and Olivia Burton's playful yet stylish Grove watches are just that. The rectangular face coupled with slim gold-plated case and minimalist markers make this an everyday elegance piece. As well as this rich forest green, there's a decadent cranberry shade plus the design in midnight plum and rose gold.
Drunk Elephant The Littles 7.0 Set
If you haven't tried Drunk Elephant before, this 'The Littles 7.0' is a great place to begin. Housed in the cutest washbag, this set contains five generously sized miniatures of the brand's best-loved items, in travel friendly metrics. It includes two day serums, one night serum, the Protini Moisturiser which is one of the most refreshing money can buy, and the much-loved Beste No.9 Jelly Cleanser. Get ready for your skin to be refined and hydrated.
Phase Eight Swim Edit
From flattering one-pieces to practical yet stylish tankinis and two pieces, Phase Eight's swimwear edit is just the thing if you're looking for pieces for your next holiday. As well as swimwear, there's plenty of accessories including raffia totes, OTT sun hats and cover-ups too.
Joonbyrd Better Together Body Essentials Kit
Joonbyrd is one of the most exciting new body brands to arrive on shelves in 2024. The range consists of beautifully packaging products with the most sumptuous scents. The Better Together Body Essentials Kit contains everything you need for an A* pamper. This travel kit comes with some hugely generous sizes of their hero products, including the Daydreamer Body Serum and incredible Violet Haze body scrub which is super rich, subtly abrasive and will have you smelling sweetly all day.
Silhouette Mougins Sunglasses
We all need a great pair of sunglasses, even come autumn, and the new unisex style Mougins from Silhouette are classic, contemporary and the right shade of cool. Available in four colours, the circular lenses are joined by a distinctive double bridge for a lightweight pair of sunglasses.
George at ASDA AW Collection
From metallic jeans to paired back knits, collegiate sweatshirts and mesh floral pieces, the new season edit from George at ASDA is anything but ordinary. With prices starting from £8, its well worth a browse online or when you're next doing your weekly shop.
Volonte Fitzrovia
Fusing good food and fitness together in one place, Volonte Fitzrovia is the hot new spot for reformer pilates fans to enjoy an intense studio workout, following by a healthy bowl of goodness from Café Volonte. With six reformer machines in the sleek studio downstairs, the classes feel intimate and therefore, well worth the price. The cafe upstairs is perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast, lunch or dinner post-workout, and takes a nutrition-first approach to dishes. Our favourites from the menu were the 'Bangkok bowl' and 'Sake Bowl' - yum!
Sister & Co
We've just discovered the stylish organic bath and body brand, Sister & Co. The toxin-free products are designed to be safe enough for the whole family to use, including the deliciously-scented Organic Family Wash, infused with organic oat oil, argan oil, tea tree, peppermint, eucalyptus. PH-balanced, moisturising and sulfate-free, all products are created to be kind to skin, and even comes in a recycled bottle.
Meze Audio Headphones
Wireless headphones have made a comeback, with Sabrina Carpenter and Paul Mescal recently been spotted donning pairs. For a stylish pair, opt for these pearlised headphones from ALBA, which come with a custom-made 3.5mm to USB-C adapter with a built-in DAC/AMP, for all your audio listening needs.
How we choose the HELLO! Loves list every month
- Tried and tested: We like to highlight things the HELLO! office have been lucky enough to try, from products to treatments to food, so if we've tried it and loved it, we'll include it!
- New in: Most if not all products or items featured are new for the month, or season, to keep the list fresh and up to date.
- Personal opinion: If we haven't been able to test something, we still might want to let readers know about it - and we only include brands or products that as a team love.
