Another week done, it’s time to sleep in without an alarm set up. And if you’re still figuring out how to indulge yourself this weekend, we have the plans listed and ready. So whether you’re feeling like a homebody this weekend or looking for a fun weekend activity, here’s what you can do to have a fun weekend.
To Shop
Akshita Rattha Fine Jewellery
With Diwali on its way, check out the launch of a contemporary fine jewellery brand, Akshita Rattha Fine Jewellery. With three debut collections, you can find timeless, wearable pieces crafted in 18K gold and ethically sourced gemstones to add to your Diwali fit.
L’OCCITANE
With a newly launched fragrance collection called Flora Orchestra, you can find light, refreshing yet captivating scents among the 13 fragrances. Featuring fresh florals, soft fruity notes, and aromatic aquatic notes, among others, the range offers scents that are perfect individually or can work harmoniously together as layered fragrances.
Pandora
Check out Pandora’s new Mini Charms collection. From oceanic motifs to a textured sun crafted in 14K gold, these cute charms are perfect both individually and together as a stack, creating a petite form of self-expression.
Ted Baker
With Brit-fashion slowly becoming a popular trend, you can join in with Ted Baker’s newly launched AW25 collection. Inspired by British design, architecture, and craftsmanship, you can have your pick of bold floral pieces to chic mesh kitten heels.
Valentino Beauty
For those looking for a new spritz to mark the new season, Valentino Beauty has just released the Amour Sans Détour, a fragrance that transports you to Italy with its decadence. With notes of violet and Italian leather, it’s smoky, velvety, and a bit animalic, making it perfect for the colder season, or even used as a fragrance layered base.
Maui Jim
For the edgier dressers, the latest Mask Style eyewear by Maui Jim is a cool, bold, unisex frame that we can imagine going hard in an all black outfit. Not only that, it’s also a practical accessory, offering eye protection while keeping you stylish.
d’Alba
If you’re looking to switch up your skincare and experiment for a bit, why not try a luxurious truffle-based formulation? It might sound like it doesn’t work, but there is actual science behind white truffles and their revitalising properties, which is why the Korean-Italian skincare brand, d’Alba, features them in their formulations and has a dedicated cult following ever since.
To Dine
