If your wardrobe is in need of a sprinkling of vibrancy as we head into the new season, look no further than Damson Madder's spring/summer 2025 collection. Inspired by long European road trips spent discovering flea markets and vintage stalls off the beaten track, the ever-popular It-girl brand has the perfect pieces for this season.

WHAT TO SHOP - FASHION:
Folklore's Collection 9
In need of a new everyday bag? Folklore's Collection 9 features stunning, timeless yet on-trend pieces to take you from A-Z in style. From suede boho shoulder bags to the cutest micro bags and charms, there is truly something for everyone, with pieces that will stand the test of time.
WHAT TO WATCH:
Adolescence
Anything that Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters and Erin Doherty feature in, is immediately worth watching. The three star in Netflix's new gripping series Adolescene, which follows the story of a 13-year-old who is accused of the murder of a classmate. Trust me, this one is utterly binge-worthy...
HOW TO HEALTH:
Humantra Electrolyte sachets
If you’re in need of an extra spring in your step this March, adding a Humantra electrolyte sachet to your water is honestly a must. Created using minerals, antioxidants, calorie-free metabolism support, and 6 essential electrolytes to deliver 4x the hydration of water alone, they're perfect for giving an energy boost whilst replenishing your body. They also taste delicious (the lychee is my personal favourite). Trust me, you'll never go back to drinking plain water...
WHERE TO HAIR:
Stil Salon, Chelsea
I recently visited the hair colour specialists at Stil in Chelsea for a blonde refresh, and it's officially my new favourite salon. Situated on Fulham Road, the salon was established (formerly based in Notting Hill) by Christel Barron-Hough [pictured left] in 2016. Considering she's a Scandinavian native, blonde is quite literally in her roots. A super friendly team who are experts in their field make the entire experience magical. They also give an aromatherapy head massage whilst washing your hair - the dream.
WHAT TO SHOP - BEAUTY:
GHD's New Chronos Max
Hair care giant GHD has released a new version of their Chronos straighteners, featuring a wider plate perfect for the curly girlies. The Chronos Max™ features a 43mm plate designed for faster, high-definition results with minimal heat damage.
