The weather may not be able to make up its mind this week, but our shopping expert is feeling pretty definite on what she’s been loving since last weekend.

Whether it’s a new jumper for the colder weather (because you can never have too many), skincare to keep your complexion from drying up in the cold or homeware upgrades to make your space properly cosy, we’ve found the best of the best this week.

But firstly, housekeeping – because this week has been packed with news and newness you’ll want to hear about.

Bringing together facial health and bodily wellness, FACEGYM, the global leader in facial fitness, has partnered with wellness brand SWIISH to bring functional hydration to all FACEGYM London studios throughout October.

From the 1st to the 31st October, every FACEGYM client will receive a SWIISH electrolyte drink to be enjoyed in-studio or taken away, designed to help supercharge hydration and enhance the results of your ‘face workout’.

The collab is the perfect way to tend to your inner health as FACEGYM’s incredible facialists look after your skin, celebrating a holistic approach to skin and performance.

I mean, you’d neck an electrolyte drink after a workout in the gym, so why not after a face workout at FACEGYM?

In other, more fashion-related news, Omnes, a London-based fashion brand designed with sustainability in mind, has just dropped its autumn range – and it’s absolutely to die for.

Filled with cosy knits, staple denim and even winter wedding guest pieces (currently at the top of my ‘to buy’ list), the collection has everything you could need to give your cold-weather wardrobe a spruce (pardon the pun).

On a different note, England’s women’s rugby team, the Red Roses, play France in the Women’s Rugby World Cup semi-final tomorrow (Saturday 20th September), and we’re pretty darn excited.

If you wanted to score a skincare must-have to commemorate our girls’ spectacular performance thus far, Clinique are selling a Limited-Edition Red Roses iteration of their Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ – and it’s absolutely iconic.

Finally, Benefit has dropped their newest Christmas gifting collection centered on the joy of playing games with your loved ones during the festive season, and with it three unmissable ‘Beneland’ pop-ups in Selfridges across the UK to celebrate the stunning range.

While their Manchester foray has already come to an end, you can take advantage of glam gifts and huge deals at both the Selfridges London pop-up (11th-24th September 2025) and the Selfridges Birmingham pop-up (1st -28th September 2025) coming up. Trust us, you don’t want to miss it.
