Much like the ever-reliable pretty pastel trend, the need for neons each Spring/ Summer season goes without saying. As the days get longer and brighter, we undeniably become more adventurous in our colour choices and so the release of a limited edition collection of irresistibly bright timepieces by London based watch brand Olivia Burton has been impeccably timed. At this time of year eye-catching accessories are just what we desire to fill our virtual shopping baskets with in order to begin creating our personal summer style for 2014.

Hiding behind mouldy green gunk (praying you don’t get an unexpected knock at the door) is a thing of the past, thanks to a new wave of luxury hard working at home masks. From anti-aging to acne prone, oily to dull, this week’s Beauty Take Five has all skin issues covered.

Money, tickets, passports? Check. Way too many liquid luxuries in your carry on… check!

I’ve waved goodbye to many of my favourite (expensive) travel products at the hands of the stingy 100ml restriction. Well, this year it’s time to get travel savvy. Tons of beauty brands now do mini-me versions of our favourite goodies, making it easier than ever to stroll smugly through security. Whether it’s a weekend away, a city break or a long holiday abroad, we’ve rounded up our top pick of in-flight travel essentials to keep us feeling fresh on the flip side.
