Victor Glemaud's cut-out designs
Meghan Markle is just one of many stars who has popped up in Victor Glemaud’s designs. The fashion designer, who launched the IN THE BLK network for black creatives last year, is known for his sleek designs and cutouts. We’re obsessed with his stylings, particularly this sleek red dress.

Unsun Mineral's glow-boosting sunscreens
Why wear regular sunscreen when you can splash on a glow? Unsun’s mineral-tinted face sunscreen gives exactly that effect, getting rid of the ashy white film effects that can occur after using some sunscreens. It hydrates skin and boosts luminescence.

If you’ve ever dreamed of frolicking in a field full of flowers in a whimsical look (just us?), there’s a good chance it would probably be in one of Lurelly’s dreamy dresses. We’re smitten with the brand’s Butterfly Gown in yellow and the sultry cut-out Bianca dress in white.

Stella Jean's statement-making dresses
Stella Jean’s high-end collections are more than just garments. The founder of the eponymous brand crafts inventive styles designed to “ignite cultural fabric”, and weaves her Italian and Haitian roots into each piece. Her SS21 collection recently dropped on Farfetch, but we’re also in love with this one-shoulder structured dress we found on Shopbop.

It gives the perfect splash of color - and even better, won’t smear under your mask. It's easy to see why 241 Cosmetics' collection of glosses landed on Oprah's Favorite Things list.

Coco and Breezy's staycation shades
Coco and Breezy oversized shades give us vacation vibes, and we’ll soak those up even if we’re sitting at home. The brand’s glam shades and opticals are so popular that they sell out quickly, and for good reason. They’re innovative, stylish, and are exactly the type of shade we like to throw when we’re protecting our eyes from the sun.
