From statement velvet blazers to next-level face masks, discover which items we're coveting as the festive season rumbles on.
Magical Masks
I often wax lyrical about 111SKIN’s next-level face masks. In my humble opinion, they cannot be matched. The Masking Master Planner is a comprehensive compilation of the doctor-led British brand’s most-loved masks. These products are designed to tackle myriad skin concerns, from lacklustre complexions to breakouts, fine lines and dryness. There’s a mask for every occasion. My holy grail is the Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask. It bestows skin with
a glow akin to indulging in an hour-long facial. Meanwhile, the Cryo De-Puffing Eye Mask banishes dark circles and puffiness. Getting to work in just 20 minutes, these nifty masks are a perfect pick-me-up to rejuvenate your skin.

Best Foot Forward
Command attention from the ground up with Jennifer Chamandi’s Tommaso sandal. Crafted from Italian leather in futuristic metallic silver, it’s a shoe that works with endless outfits. The minimalist silhouette is enhanced by Chamandi’s signature eye-of-the-needle design. This is where the strap threads through the heel for superlative comfort, ensuring you can remain on the dance floor for hours.

Make a Statement
No festive wardrobe is complete without statement earrings – and this pair of outfit enhancers will instantly elevate any look. Oscar de la Renta’s sculptural earrings are a masterclass in molten metallic magnificence. Cascading with emerald-cut stones and bordered with glimmering gold spheres, they are a bold yet elegant accessory to wear on repeat.

Hydration Fixation
Burning the candle at both ends, plus a steady flow of Champagne, means that during the festive season, dehydration and fatigue go hand in hand. Combat this by incorporating Ancient + Brave’s True Hydration supplement into your winter wellness regime. The coconut water-based formula is brimming with natural electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium to bolster energy levels, improve mental clarity and aid recovery. The addition of prebiotic fibre repairs and protects your digestive system.

Blazers of Glory
Immaculate tailoring is a cornerstone of every modern wardrobe and Blazé Milano’s double-breasted blazer, in sleek black velvet with silk lapels is a chic addition. Cut to a straight, clean silhouette, it is imbued with a borrowed-from-the-boys energy. Pair it with denim for instant day-to-night glamour.

Lip Service
There’s no quicker way to spruce up your look than a quick slick of red lipstick. This party season, I’m coveting the Signature Lip lipstick in Vermillion by MERIT. The formula is featherlight, but comes with a major colour pay-off. The texture is velvety for a soft-focus finish and, while it’s a matte, it’s still hydrating. Thanks to moisturising hyaluronic acid and smoothing sesame seed extract, a plump pout is guaranteed.
