THE BEAUTY LAUNCH:
Prada Beauty Skin Optimizing
This autumn there are two additions to the Prada Beauty Skin Optimizing routine. Designed to match the brand’s bestselling Reveal Skin Optimizing Foundation, the Refine Blurring Extending Primer instantly smooths over pores and minimises the appearance of skin imperfections while extending the wear of make-up. Then the Reset Rebalancing Setting Powder – the third and final step – instantly delivers a soft matte effect to the skin. Available in refillable packaging, the breathable powder formula arrives in a light green hue to correct the appearance of red tones while resisting an ashy or white cast on the skin.

THE COFFEE TABLE BOOK:
Sketch
Part history, part cookbook, part love letter to its patrons, this new book from Sketch is a must-read for food lovers, design enthusiasts and everyone who’s ever eaten a memorable meal in its striking dining room. Written by founder Mourad Mazouz and head chef Pierre Gagnaire, the book is an ode to the 18th-century building in Mayfair, from its famous ‘egg’ pod toilets to a mad hatter’s tea party in the Glade tearoom and 85 of the best recipes from Gagnaire’s three-Michelin-starred Lecture Room and Library. The photos and stories inside the covers are just as impressive as the venue’s interiors.

THE AFTERNOON TEA:
The Boodles Tea
The Biltmore Mayfair has teamed up with Boodles to create an afternoon tea inspired by the jeweller’s timeless pieces. The tea centres on a selection of pastries and desserts designed to echo the soft pastels of Boodles’ famous pink diamonds. The cakes are the star of the show: the pink apple and vanilla pearls are inspired by the Boodles Luna Pearl Rose Gold Pendant; the flower choux with Jivara milk chocolate ganache montée and blueberry gel is reminiscent of the Flower Pink Diamond Platinum & Rose Gold Ring; while the pear and white chocolate heart emulates those often seen in the heart-shaped motifs of its signature engagement rings.

THE HOME ACCESSORY:
Verden X Beata Heuman
This month sees home fragrance brand Verden team up with renowned interior designer Beata Heuman. Combining style and scent, their candle is a synthesis of their shared Scandinavian heritage and features both the clean and uplifting notes of bergamot and warm woods, which are designed to emulate the simplicity of rocky Swedish coastlines and the warmth and elegance of southern Italy. The packaging features Beata’s brand mascot Hap – the shadowy, transient, shapeshifting figure that occasionally hides in plain sight, appearing on her furniture and wallpapers.

THE FRAGRANCE:
21:50 Rêverie By Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham’s first foray into fragrance was a huge hit – and now she’s added a fourth scent to the collection. 21:50 Rêverie is an ode to the island of Java and features the grassy scent of tobacco leaves, the earthy rawness of vanilla pods and tonka beans, cedarwood and candlelight. Like the originals, this bottle also takes inspiration from a memory – this time from 2001, when she and David escaped to the Indonesian haven. Housed in an autumn-appropriate green bottle, it’s just the thing to add interest to your dressing table.
THE EDIT:
Alexa Chung X Barbour
Taking on the role of both creative director and designer, Alexa Chung’s latest collection with Barbour is a tribute to Britain’s vintage heritage. Featuring knitwear crafted in Scotland and outwear designed for all weathers, the collection blends style with practical elegance. With plenty of tartan, wax jackets and wellies on offer, this edit has everything you need for a country-inspired capsule.
