My 5 Faves Of The Month: July 2026
I've been doing a fair bit of online browsing lately (purely in the name of research, of course!), and I've come across so many things that I couldn't wait to share. These are the pieces I've either bought, added to my wishlist, or genuinely think are worth every penny. Hopefully, you'll discover something you love just as much as I do.
These are the trousers I didn’t know I needed until I saw them. The oversized silhouette, playful gingham print and exaggerated paperbag waist somehow manage to feel both effortless and fashion-forward. They’re the kind of statement piece that instantly elevates even the simplest outfit. I’d wear them with a white bikini top on holiday, a fitted vest for brunch or even a cropped knit on cooler evenings. They’re fun, bold and guaranteed to earn compliments, which is exactly what great summer dressing should be about.
These M&S beach trousers are proof that high street fashion is having a seriously good moment. The tropical print feels expensive, the bubble hem gives them a modern twist, they’re perfect for warm days. I love throwing them on over a swimsuit or a simple bikini top, but they also look brilliant with a crisp white vest and chunky gold jewellery for lunch by the beach. They’re comfortable, flattering and, at £30, one of those pieces you’ll reach for all summer long.
Rat & Boa rarely misses, and the Nilah Shirt Dress is no exception. It’s effortlessly sexy without trying too hard, with its striking animal print, fluid silhouette and relaxed shirt shape. It’s one of those dresses that does all the work for you. Just add oversized sunglasses, sandals and a basket bag for daytime, or heels and statement earrings for dinner. It’s a forever holiday piece that you’ll pack year after year.
This Zara jumpsuit is exactly the kind of piece I love finding on the high street. It has that minimalist, understated feel that looks far more premium than its price tag, while the flowing fabric gives it beautiful movement. It’s incredibly versatile to.
I couldn’t resist adding this H&M find because it’s another example of the high street absolutely nailing summer dressing. This is a dupe on the ridiculously expensive YSL play suit guys!
It’s comfortable, timeless and perfect for building those effortless holiday outfits that always look put together without feeling overdone.
If there’s one thing I’m loving in interiors right now, it’s adding little touches that make people smile, and these sardine napkins do exactly that. They’re playful, colourful and tap into the Mediterranean aesthetic that’s everywhere at the moment, without feeling gimmicky. I can picture them on a summer tablescape with striped glassware, lemons and lots of fresh seafood. They’re proof that the smallest details often make the biggest impact.
H&M Home continues to surprise me with pieces that look far more expensive than they actually are, and this is another brilliant find. It has that clean, elevated aesthetic that works in almost any room, making it an easy update without spending a fortune. I always think mixing affordable pieces like this with vintage finds or designer accessories is the secret to making a home feel curated rather than ‘done’. It’s stylish, timeless and an absolute bargain.
Lighting completely transforms a room, and this pleated wall light is a perfect example. The sculptural shade feels beautifully retro while still looking fresh and contemporary, and it gives off such a warm, flattering glow. Whether it’s in a hallway, bedroom or cosy reading corner, it’s one of those pieces that instantly makes a space feel more considered. Functional? Yes. But it’s also a piece of art in its own right.
I’ve been obsessed with Villa Bologna pottery for ages, and these hand-painted soap dishes are almost too beautiful to hide in the bathroom. Full of personality and crafted with incredible attention to detail, they add that joyful, collected feel that I always gravitate towards. They’re the kind of pieces guests always comment on, and they make everyday moments feel just that little bit more special.
A great vase is one of my favourite styling tricks, and this one from Oliver Bonas is a real statement. The oversized green spots and organic shape give it an artistic feel, so it looks just as gorgeous standing empty as it does filled with flowers. I’d style it on a coffee table, kitchen island or open shelving to instantly add colour and personality. It’s fun, modern and one of those pieces you’ll never tire of.
Charlotte Tilbury has absolutely nailed it with Unreal Blush. It gives cheeks the most gorgeous healthy flush that looks like it’s coming from within rather than sitting on top of the skin. The formula blends effortlessly, has impressive staying power and leaves a soft, luminous finish that never looks overdone. Whether you’re wearing barely any makeup or a full glam look, it’s one of those products that instantly makes you look more awake and radiant.
This moisturiser has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. Not only is it made from old fruit and veg, yep that’s right! It delivers long-lasting hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, leaving skin feeling plump, comfortable and beautifully nourished. It sits perfectly under makeup too, creating a smooth base without causing foundation to pill. If your skin needs a little extra love, this is one of those products you’ll find yourself reaching for every single day.
There’s a reason Weleda Skin Food has achieved cult status. It’s my go-to whenever my skin is feeling dry, tired or in need of a serious moisture boost. I use it on everything from flaky patches and elbows to cuticles, and it’s also incredible as a glowing primer under makeup when applied sparingly. Rich, nourishing and brilliantly multi-tasking, it’s a product I never like to be without. So I’m thrilled it now comes in a limited edition 100ml tube to celebrate their 100 years.
A great hairdryer can completely transform your styling routine, and the MD London Hairdryer is seriously impressive. It’s lightweight, powerful and dries hair incredibly quickly without leaving it feeling frazzled. The airflow is smooth, helping to create a sleek, shiny finish while reducing frizz, and it’s surprisingly quiet too. If you’re looking to upgrade your hair tools without compromising on performance, this is definitely one to have on your radar.
That's it for this month's Five Faves! I'd genuinely love to know which one is your favourite, or if you've discovered something amazing that you think I need to know about. You always have the best recommendations, so do leave me a comment or send me a DM. Until next time, happy shopping, and remember, life's too short not to buy the beautiful vase (or the fabulous dress!).
