Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry has long been a punk-rock and fashion icon. Now, it just got a whole lot easier to channel her style. The star has teamed up with fashion brand Wildfang for her first-ever designed style collaboration, and the six-piece line is about as rocker-chic as you’d expect.

Victoria Beckham Posh Balm


If you like a more subtle wash of color in summer, look no further than Victoria Beckham’s latest lip venture: Posh Balm. Unlike a traditional lipstick, the balm is all about subtle, buildable coverage with murumuru seed butter and cucumber seed oil adding nourishing skincare effects to the formula. Available in four shades (the blackberry hue of Cassis is our personal favorite), the product is all about achieving a high-shine payoff with a comfortable and hydrating feel.

Chlöe Bailey x YITTY's Nearly Naked Collection


There are many universal experiences with clothes but one of them has to be ordering a new outfit and realizing you don’t have the right underwear for it. Thankfully, the shapewear game has improved massively in the last few years. Lizzo has made waves in the industry with her size-inclusive line, YITTY, since 2022. This August, the performer Chlöe Bailey is teaming up with the brand for its new Nearly Naked collection. While you can still find seamless shorts and bodysuits in a range of neutral colorways, the new extension is all about adding boldness, with cherry-colored sculpting dresses, periwinkle high-waisted briefs, and hot pink bralettes.

Glossier Boy Brow Arch


If you’ve noticed a sway towards slimmer brows in the last few months, you’re not alone. From Gabbriette to Bella Hadid, the lean towards a ‘90s brow is in full effect, meaning a precise brow pencil is exactly what we need to avoid a tweezing disaster. Made with a custom tip, Glossier’s new brow product is ideal for shaping and sculpting brows; one side has a sharp edge for micro hair strokes and the other has a flat edge for those who prefer a bigger and fluffier brow. Featuring an all-important pencil sharpener in the lid, the pencil is designed to stay sharp while offering a soft and smooth texture that won’t tug at hairs. Available in nine shades, the product is about to be our new go-to for eyebrow experimenting.

Adidas Originals x Sporty & Rich Capsule Collection


Since their first collaboration, Adidas and Sporty & Rich have created consistent sell-out drops. Combining Adidas’ classic three stripes with Sporty & Rich’s elevated silhouettes, the collections have become a staple for celebs and internet It Girls alike. This time, the collection focuses on the tri-colorway of the US, French, and UK flags, featuring the Handball Spezial TJ and Samba trainers in new red, white, and blue designs. As for the clothes, the collab dives into nostalgia with long-sleeve football shirts, track shorts, and quarter zips on offer. There’s also a selection of classic sports tees and tapered joggers for the ultimate athlete-off-duty look.

Le Labo Coriandre 39


Le Labo is known as an exclusive brand and its city exclusive collection is the epitome of that bougieness. Releasing fragrances exclusively in the cities they are named after, this year the perfumer has launched Coriandre 39, inspired by the vibrancy of Mexico City. Lucky for us, one month a year the brand allows the fragrance to be shopped globally, meaning we can now get our hands on the scent. Created using notes of zesty lime and fragrant coriander (sorry to those who have the soap gene), the perfume is herby, fresh and floral with a musky dry down scent. Perfect for an evening spent sipping spicy margaritas in the sun.

Irina Shayk x H&M Move


Timed perfectly with the arrival of the Olympics in Paris, H&M is bringing activewear to the masses inspired by the sporty stylings seen in the French capital. Fronted by supermodel Irina Shayk, the collection features buttery leggings, capri pants, and bike short styles. For those wanting to brighten up their gym day wardrobe, the drop also includes fire engine-red DryMove™ (fabric that helps to keep moisture away from skin while you work out) crop tops, vests, and sports bras. If you want to add some sparkle to your sport look, why not try the diamante wrist weights?
