After experiencing all four seasons in the space of a week, we are emotionally and spiritually ready for the weekend. That means taking a moment for yourself with a scroll through this handpicked lineup of treats curated by our in-house shopping expert. As always, we have roamed free across the high street, hunting down everything we are itching to add to our basket, plus all the gossip and launches worth knowing about.
This Week's Trend Trove
First up, Hailey Bieber has just been announced as the face of Mango's summer 2026 campaign, exuding peak off-duty cool. Shot in LA, the collection leans into laid-back staples: micro shorts, oversized layers, easy mini dresses, all styled in that impossibly minimal Hailey way. Fronting the brand's 'Craft Your Own Story' message, it is all about dressing for wherever summer takes you.
Speaking of effortless cool, Jimmy Fairly has teamed up with Missoma for its first-ever jewellery collab, basically summer in accessory form. Think cat-eye and oval sunglasses reworked with molten metal finishes and pearl details, plus chic chains that make every outfit look like you have actually tried. London meets Paris, but make it holiday-ready.
Meanwhile, ROXY and Juicy Couture have joined forces for the ultimate Y2K throwback. The 27-piece drop is a sun-drenched time capsule of our teenage wardrobes: sorbet-bright bikinis, velour-meets-beach-day tracksuits, boardshorts, bucket hats and platform flip-flops, all stamped with the logos we once wore religiously. It is unapologetically nostalgic and guaranteed to make you book a beach day.
Sticking with fashion, PrettyLittleThing is going full hot-girl summer with a new SS26 edit curated by influencer-entrepreneur Sarah Ashcroft, exactly as polished as you would expect. Think statement swim, slinky resortwear, crochet, sequins and those quietly luxe textures Sarah nails every time. Designed for beach clubs, long lunches and sun-kissed evenings, it is set to be one of the season's most-wanted drops.
For the home-cooks among us, Our Place has launched its tiniest collection yet: mini versions of the cult Always Pan and Perfect Pot. They are cute, practical, space-saving and still deliver the same high-performance, non-toxic magic the brand is known for. Proof that good things really do come in small, giftable packages.
Cult beauty brand P.Louise is finally hitting the high street with its first-ever Boots launch, bringing its viral, TikTok-famous makeup to 36 UK stores and online from 29 May. Founded by Paige Louise Williams, the brand is known for bold colour and cult favourites, and this rollout promises a more immersive experience than your average beauty counter, including in-store masterclasses, hands-on product testing and exclusive launches.
Finally, M&S is celebrating 40 years of canned cocktails with its new 'United Tin-dom' report, revealing we are a nation joyfully divided on what we crack open first. The OG Gin & Tonic still reigns supreme, the Mojito is dominating huge regions, the North is deep in its Spritz era, and the South is living its best Piña Colada life. To mark the milestone, M&S is dropping retro St Michael G&Ts and a wave of tequila-based tinnies just in time for summer.
