With summer on the horizon, the R29 team has turned its attention to warm-weather staples like lightweight knit shorts, flowy dresses and fun sandals. We’re also changing up our beauty routines to adhere to the mercury rise and keeping an eye on the accessories that will get us through summer (whether that be a new pair of sunglasses or some statement earrings that are just perfect for party season).
Of course, we’re looking at what’s new— SIR’s new jewellery launch is personally on top of my list —but we’re also returning to a few tried-and-tested favourites (Rare Beauty, here’s to you). Without further ado, keep scrolling for the fashion and beauty buys our editors are shopping this month.

“SIR launched its first jewellery collection just last week and I am loving all of the statement, single earrings on offer. I have quite a few weddings coming up over the summer and feel like this would make the perfect unique addition to my outfits.”

“The Ciao Ciao Sofia Knit Shorts are my new summer staple. I love the sun design and the fact you can dress them up or down. The shorts feature an elasticated waist so they sit nicely on your hips while being soft and comfy enough for days by the pool. Obsessed.”

“With the seasons changing, I want to ensure I have no chaffing. I am obsessed with this THICC anti-chafe stick. It is perfect for chub rub girlies. I have had mine for over a year now and used it most days, so I am going to have to invest in a new one for the summer season to ensure that my thighs feel like butter.”

“The end of year is all about the festivities, and for lovers of an all-black look (like me!) there’s nothing better than statement earrings to jazz up any outfit. I’m eyeing these beautiful earrings from the new Rebecca Vallance x MyTheresa collection – they’re just the right amount of sparkly, and have the cutest bow motif to boot.”

“One thing you should know about me is that I’m a ring girl. I wear 11 at a time, on almost every finger, and I never take them off. I’ve usually stuck with dainty, thin rings but have recently been working some chunkier rings into my collection, and since I already wear a garnet ring on my right hand (given to me by my grandma), I am excited to add this one to my left hand to balance it out.”

— Ange Law, Managing Editor

“If there’s one product that every beauty enthusiast should have in their arsenal, it’s the Lanolips 101 Ointment. This little multitasking tube has become a cult favourite for good reason, but the glazed doughnut flavour also adds the perfect little dopamine hit to your skincare ritual (and yes, it literally smells and tastes like an actual doughnut!).”

“I absolutely adore this mesh dress from Jac & Jack — it’s the perfect ‘throw on’ piece when you still want to look put together. I plan to wear mine with jeans or wide-legged pants and a pair of chic black heels.”

“I finally got my hands on this liquid highlighter and it’s as fantastic as everyone says it is. A little goes a long way and there are so many shades to choose from.”

“Summer is on the horizon which means sunglasses are about to become one of our most important (and necessary) accessories. The reddish-brown hue of these Miu Miu shades feels very of the moment and I just loved the slightly arched rectangular shape.”

— Zoe Anastasiou, Acting Fashion and Beauty Editor

“One of these serums is sold every 10 seconds, and once you start using it, it’s not hard to see why. What sets this serum apart is its role as a ‘pre-serum’. Applied immediately after cleansing and toning, it preps the skin to enhance the absorption of subsequent skincare products, making them more effective. It creates the ideal canvas for the rest of your skincare routine, and while it’s exxy, a little goes a long way, and I always notice the difference when I’m not using it.”

“This two-in-one cleanse and polish is my new ‘Everything Shower’ holy grail. After just one use, my skin looked brighter and more glowy. It smells like dessert thanks to a blend of silver maple, orange, lemon, blueberry and sugarcane. It’s also inexpensive, which is a win for my bank account.”

— Jasmine Wallis, Native Content Editor

“I’ve been eyeing cross-body phone straps for a while because I hate having my phone in my hands all the time, but I also think they’re super fashionable. I got this one from Casetify and it’s my new favourite accessory.”

Courtney Borrett, E-Commerce Writer

“Sofia Richie Grainge put vests as a summer staple back on the map earlier this year when she decided to wear a linen set by Aussie brand Posse over her wedding weekend. Since then, I have been desperate to invest in one of my own but somehow keep missing the Posse restocks. However, I love this Dissh option as a slightly more affordable alternative. The tie-front detail feels really modern, and the front beading makes the item look super elevated.”

“Butter yellow is currently my fave colour and I feel like every time I buy a cute sandal for summer, I am channelling my inner Carrie Bradshaw — fiscally irresponsible but damn cute. These shoes look so comfy and would elevate any summer look.”

“I’m quite picky about toothpaste, and this has become my new favourite. The fresh minty flavour is a true delight, but I love that you can actually see the whitening results quickly.”

“I am a sucker for a good bow, and every time I see a bow used in an unexpected way I need to have it. I saw this bow ring and it was love at first sight, and something I am definitely going to have to invest some of my paycheck into.”

Allie Daisy King, Social Producer
