Per the title, anything style and beauty! Looking for some inspiration:)

My favourites are probably a cream cotton WNU jumper, Agolde jeans from the Net a Porter sale, a white maxi skirt from Rouri and a waistcoat shirt from Celosia Re.

Also bought the Maison Margiela Replica Chasing Sunsets perfume in duty free which I have been enjoying.

I bought a water gel from Cerave and it's absolutely amazing. It's really really good! I generally buy moisturiser tentatively because everything gives me spots so maybe I am behind the times with new technology in moisturiser but wow it's like a completely different category of thing. My skin just instantly looked and felt amazing and no spots. It doesn't, it's weird, it doesn't feel greasy which I find everything does even "non-greasy" but what I mean is it doesn't even feel what I thought of as moisturised. It's like dry, not "dry" but like your hand.

Brought to you by the Cerave marketing board I suppose but wow it's actually very good.

Beauty of Joseon sunscreen

And fabric and patterns to make some summer dresses, skirts and tops.

Two pairs of M&S Cotton Balloon Jeans. Lightweight, comfortable and astonishingly on trend. I second the Beauty of Joseon SPFs, but still prefer the old Biore.

I have been eying up some Archie’s flip flops. How is the sizing?

Go a size bigger.

What water gel is it @molmplease? I’m finding my usual moisturisers just make my face sweat in this heat

Molm · 28/07/2026 13:27

Hmmmmm.... here it is https://www.superdrug.com/skin/face-skin-care/face-gels/cerave-dry-touch-moisturiser-gel-with-ha-niacinamide-ceramides-48g/p/863064

I think I bought it on Amazon tho, but can't see it now.

minnowonthesay · 28/07/2026 13:44

Thank you, I’ll try it - I really like all the other Cerave products

RayonSunrise · 28/07/2026 16:44

—An M&S pale blue cami with cream lace trim, which I’ve worn with low waisted jeans, or all sorts of white/cream bottoms (jeans, trousers, shorts, maxi skirt…)
-Topshop kitten heel flip flops with a clever t-bar strap that prevents them flipping or flopping . Smart but very comfortable.
-Lisa Eldridge blush/lip stick - have the madder rose and pomegranate glace colours
