Fiona Embleton's Spring Edit

“Verified bags are my latest obsession after seeing so many fashion editors wearing them for the A/W shows in Paris. This python print hobo bag elevates any outfit and the icing on top is the price point, which isn't out of the realms of possibility for most people.”

“My favourite fashion/beauty combo is to pair a pop of red lipstick with red shoes. These ‘90s-coded, mid-heel wedge flip-flops look just as good with a pair of light blue Levi’s as they do with a little black dress.”

“Scientists in Japan have found that inhaling the scent of the forest has a profoundly calming effect. The same thing happens when I wear this perfume, which conjures up sun-warmed pine needs and sticky eucalyptus. It's bright but warms up as you wear it, making it the perfect scent for the warmer months ahead.”

“Nothing screams spring time than the ‘great blush swap’: when bright-coloured pinks come out to play and your wintery berry tones are relegated to the the top drawer. The Pocket Blushes are so easy to swipe on anytime, anywhere. I love adding a pop of pink across the tops of my cheekbones and winging it up under the eyes a little as a makeup artist once told me that this is the most flattering – and youth-boosting – blush application.”

“Meet the crowdpleaser of mascaras: it lengthens, it volumises and it gives your lashes a Bambi-esque curl. The curved double-bristle brush is the stand-out feature here because it grabs hold of every single hair, wrapping the inky black formula from root to tip.”
