THE DESTINATION: *Kirstie Le Marque At Liberty*
Jewellery brand Kirstie le Marque has just launched in Liberty – giving us yet another excuse to visit the iconic British department store. Founded in London in 2017 by Claire Le Marquand and Kirstie Beecroft, the demi-fine jewellery brand is known for its vintage-inspired contemporary diamond jewellery, all of which is designed to be worn every day.

THE INFLUENCER HAIR RANGE: *Ceremonia*
Influencer Babba C. Rivera is known for her glossy hair and now, she’s sharing her secrets via new brand Ceremonia. Inspired by her Latinx heritage, Babba set out to create a range that nourished hair and enhanced shine, but used only the best, natural ingredients. Babba also believes that if you deeply hydrate your hair, you won’t need to heat style it as much – thus cutting down on damage and dehydration. Whether you want to tackle tangles, improve scalp health or smooth frizz, this concise range ticks all the boxes. The shampoo and conditioner duo are great for everyday maintenance, while the Pequi Curl Activator is a great way to add bounce to your hair.

THE FILM: *The Princess*
We’ve had The Crown and last year’s Spencer and now The Princess tells the story of Princess Diana exclusively through archival footage, creating a bold and immersive narrative of her life and death. Turning the camera back on the audience, the film illuminates the profound impact she had and how the public’s attitude to the monarchy was, and still is, shaped by these events.

THE LUXE CANDLE LAUNCH: *SUN.DAY of London Scented Sculptures*
We’re huge fans of Sun.Day of London. Handcrafted in a Hackney Wick workshop and formulated using natural, essential oils, everything is free from synthetic fragrances and paraffin. That includes these limited edition ‘scented sculptures’ which are set into porcelain with a hanging ribbon. Refillable, you can return the jar and have a new candle fitted once you’ve burnt the original one away. Available in some of the brand’s bestselling scents, there are seven different sculptures available, with fine artist Ikuko illustrating each one . Depending on which one you get, your candle will have a limited-edition number on the back – from 1-100 – making it a thoughtful gift for a loved one.

THE COLLAB: *Anna Mason x Maison Margaux*
Maison Margaux has teamed up with British fashion designer Anna Mason to create a limited edition placemat and napkin collection – so you now can add a touch of the fashion brand’s unique, feminine style to your home. The just-launched range includes two hero designs – The Florence, a minimalist style set against Anna Masons' painterly blush stripe linen paying homage to Cocteau, as well as legendary designer Elsie de Wolfe, and the Ophelia, set against Anna's exclusive SS22 Provence-inspired 'Cascarin' print. Either would make a pretty addition to your summer table.

THE BOOK: *The House of Fortune by Jessie Burton*
In the long-awaited sequel to Jessie Burton’s bestseller The Miniaturist, Thea Brandt is turning 18, and she is ready to welcome adulthood with open arms. At the city’s theatre, Walter, the love of her life, awaits, but at home in the house on the Herengracht, all is not well – her father Otto and Aunt Nella argue endlessly, and the Brandt family are selling their furniture to survive. On Thea’s birthday, also the day that her mother Marin died, the secrets from the past begin to overwhelm the present. And when Nella feels a strange prickling sensation on the back of her neck, she remembers the miniaturist who entered her life and toyed with her fortunes 18 years ago.
