Every month, I find myself falling in love with a handful of products that instantly slot into my daily routine.
Some are discoveries I've been meaning to try for ages, others are fresh launches that have landed on my desk, and a few are simply too good not to re-purchase.
With August in my rear view, September feels like a month of new beginnings. The sunnier weather has me leaning towards lighter, brighter pieces and refreshing my beauty cupboard with staples that make me feel polished without too much effort.

This month's edit is a mix of jewellery I can't stop wearing, beauty buys that genuinely deliver results, and even a hydration hack that tastes like peach iced tea.
I've road tested each one myself, so these aren't just pretty additions to a shopping list -- they're items that have quickly become part of my everyday life.
From sparkling hoops that go with absolutely everything to a pair of pastel sunnies that have singlehandedly pulled me out of my winter mood, here's what I'm loving and recommending to anyone who'll listen.
If you're in the market for a few clever upgrades, these are my six favourites that I think are truly worth adding to your cart this month.
Is it just me, or are tennis necklaces everywhere at the moment? The Crescendo design from Saint Valentine Jewellery has completely won me over.
I've already worn it to dinner with friends, layered over a slip dress, and then again with just jeans and a crisp shirt on the weekend. Each time someone has asked where it's from.
To match, I've been wearing the Crescendo Oval Hoops almost daily. They're the perfect "I tried, but not too hard" accessory. Comfortable enough for all-day wear, but still with that subtle sparkle that elevates even my laziest outfit.
I wore them to work meetings stacked with smaller studs, and they looked polished but still fun. They're timeless pieces I know I'll still be reaching for in years to come.
I've been loyal to Paula's Choice 2 per cent BHA liquid for years, so when I found out it was available in pre-soaked pads, I knew I had to try it. They're even better than I expected.
I took them on two recent trips and loved that I didn't need to pack cotton pads or worry about liquid spilling in my bag.
After a long day out sightseeing, nothing feels better than coming back to your hotel, cleansing, swiping one of these pads over my skin, and crawling into bed feeling like I've given myself a mini facial.
They're not just for travel either. On nights when I'm tired and tempted to skip steps, these make exfoliation so easy. My skin always looks smoother the next morning, and my makeup goes on more evenly. They've completely earned a permanent spot in my bathroom cabinet.
Spring has finally arrived! Did this winter feel extra long to anyone else? Now that I want to shed my dark winter accessories and lighten up my wardrobe. These pastel pink cat-eye sunnies were exactly what I needed.
They make every outfit look instantly more playful, and the colour literally brightens my mood. I wore them on my first beach walk of the season and felt like I was in a magazine shoot -- even if in reality I was just carrying my coffee and wearing activewear.
The dry shampoo is equally impressive. It keeps my hair fresh for days and doesn't leave any chalky residue. I love that it has the same scent as the deodorant, so my hair and skin smell consistent, like I'm wearing an expensive perfume.
It's become my secret weapon on busy mornings when I didn't have time to wash my hair the night before. Together, they're the ultimate freshness duo.
These Peach Crush tablets taste like summer in a glass. They remind me of peach iced tea, but with the bonus of actually hydrating me. I've been keeping a tube in my handbag. After a workout, I just drop one in a water bottle and instantly feel revived.
They're also a lifesaver on days when I forget to drink enough water or after a big night out. The portable tube is so convenient and takes up no space at all. The fact that they're on sale at the moment makes me want to stock up. I can't recommend them enough if you're looking for an easy way to stay hydrated.
