THE POP-UP:
Hunza G X The Standard Ibiza
Heading to the White Isle this summer? The Standard Ibiza is hosting a Hunza G pop-up, designed to capture the essence of a Mediterranean summer.

THE RESTAURANT:
Plates
For a new kind of dining experience, look to Plates, which has been opened in Shoreditch by siblings Kirk and Keeley Haworth. Kirk was crowned Champion of Champions on this year’s Great British Menu – and following a successful residency in Dalston, the pair have launched their first permanent restaurant. With an eight-course tasting menu, Plates aims to change the perception of what fruits, vegetables and plants can do. You might start with a refreshing hibiscus and white tea granita served with poached peaches and soy custard; followed by English tomatoes served with homemade ricotta, raspberry and white kombu jam, frozen strawberries and a beetroot and buckwheat truffle. Fans of Great British Menu will be able to try some of Kirk’s top-scoring dishes, including his ‘Feast of Farah’ – a charcoal lasagne with layers of mung and urad bean and served with baby turnip, morel, rainbow chard and a miso and chive sauce.

THE BEAUTY RELAUNCH:
Guerlain Rouge G
Fifteen years after its launch, Rouge G – Guerlain’s jewel lipstick – has had a refresh.

Created with lily flower and sweet almond oil, the complex has smoothing, hydrating and plumping properties, while also supporting lips’ regeneration.

THE TABLESCAPING:
Mrs Alice X Grace Hotel Auberge
The gorgeous Grace Hotel Auberge on Santorini has collaborated with luxury interiors and tablescape brand Mrs Alice. The Santorini Collection draws inspiration from the boutique resort and its striking views of Santorini’s amazing caldera. Available to purchase via The Mrs Alice Shop, the collection has been designed as a tribute to the Greek island from where founder Alice Naylor-Leyland has many family memories. There are four tablescapes to choose from, each evoking the Mediterranean, from sunshine to romance, seashells and the whitewashed architecture synonymous with the Greek island. In celebration, Grace Hotel Auberge has curated a series of exclusive private dining experiences, bringing the collection to life.

THE HOTEL:
Abbaye Des Vaux-De-Cernay, France
Forty-five minutes from the French capital, Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay is a chic new country hotel – and the first of its kind from The Paris Society group. Within 185 acres of unspoilt countryside, the property’s interiors have been designed by Cordélia de Castellane, artistic director of Baby Dior and Dior Maison. It has 145 bedrooms and suites, three restaurants, a state-of-the-art Kids Club and a spa. Guests have the option of staying in the bedrooms of the L’Abbaye itself, in Les Haras (the estate’s charming former stable yard) or in a series of individual, atmospheric Pavillons designed for family and group getaways.
THE DRINK:
Amie Non-Alc
Ever-popular wine brand Amie has launched its first non-alcoholic bottles. Amie Non-Alc is a sparkling rosé that’s been dealcoholised through the reverse osmosis process. That means the wine's aromas are preserved, and it contains less sugar than other non-alcoholic wines currently on the market. The sparkling rosé is produced in the south of France from grenache grapes and is pleasantly effervescent. It’s just the thing to serve to any non-drinking friends at summer gatherings.

THE ANNIVERSARY:
Manolo Blahnik’s Mary Jane
Manolo Blahnik is celebrating 30 years of its famous Mary Jane heels. Originally imagined as traditional ballet flats, they were given a high heel with a feminine toe for a sultry feel. The black patent edition was further branded as a sexy evening shoe perfect for an evening of cocktails in mini dresses. Modelled by the likes of Kate Moss and Shalom Harlow, this sleek pointed silhouette will never get old.

THE HOME COLLECTION:
Alighieri Casa
We’ve loved jewellery brand Alighieri for years, so we were excited to see its venture into homeware. Alighieri Casa is a collection of modern heirlooms for the home. Inspired by ancient totems and prehistoric rock formations, the Totemic Devotion collection pays homage to the importance of daily spiritual rituals: from sharing stories by candlelight to setting the table and breaking bread. From candlesticks to tableware and cutlery suites, each piece is carved in wax and transformed into gold and silver-plated brass. We love the floating pebble candlesticks and the sterling silver napkin rings.

THE INTERIORS FIND:
Studio Shamshiri X Abask
Design platform Abask has created its first in-house collection in collaboration with AD100 Studio Shamshiri – and we’re excited by the blankets, cushions and home accessories in unexpected art-house hues. Founded by brother and sister Pamela and Ramin in 2016, Studio Shamshiri has previously done restoration work on homes designed by big-name ‘starchitects’. As part of the collab, the two brands are donating a portion of proceeds from every item to Médecins Sans Frontières.
