May Mood: Chic Beauty Picks & What’s Hot in London Right Now

Hello, my loves!

Can you believe we’re already this deep into May? Spring is fully showing off — the blossom trees are in full swing, the light lasts into the evening, and honestly, I’m feeling that glow-up energy in every part of life right now. Whether you're brunching in the sun, planning dreamy weekends, or just swapping boots for ballet flats, there’s something about May that feels like the softest, prettiest beginning to summer.

This month’s edit is all about feeling fresh, looking chic, and making the most of the season. Here’s what we’re diving into:

• The 3 beauty products I’m truly obsessed with right now (glowy skin, juicy lips, and effortless luxury)

• My favourite things to do in London this month, flower markets, rooftop rosé.

• The soft, sunshiney balayage I can’t stop thinking about

• Why May is the best time to book your summer hair appointment

Let’s get into it, babe...

💋 Beauty Edit: Just a Few Chic Must-Haves

1. Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint

Skin, but on holiday. This is my favourite for that, radiant glow that looks like you’ve had 10 hours of sleep and a facial. Lightweight, fresh, and so luxe.

2. SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier

A powerful hyaluronic acid serum that plumps, smooths, and deeply hydrates — leaving skin visibly firmer and more radiant.

3. Dior Lip Glow Oil (in Coral)

Juicy, shiny lips, no mirror needed. It hydrates like a balm but looks like a gloss. “Coral” is my go-to for a pop of colour that flatters everyone.

🌸 What’s Hot in London (May – Early June)

• Peony Season at Columbia Road

Columbia Road Flower Market is peony heaven right now, think candy pink, blush, and soft coral bundles. Head there early on a Sunday morning with a flat white in hand and your cutest woven tote.

The Berkeley hotel, rooftop.

• Rooftop Rosé Spots

  London rooftops are the moment right now. These are my go-tos for sipping something sparkling with your girls:

1. The Berkeley– dreamy views + amazing vibes.

2. Seabird – oysters, marble tables, and sunset glow.

3. Alto by San Carlo (Selfridges) pure Italian energy.

One Last Thing…

May is like the soft launch of summer. It’s fresh hair, glossy lips, golden hours and girls’ dinners that turn into nights you don’t want to end. So wear the tinted glow, book the picnic, and let yourself feel like the main character.

✨ And if you haven’t already, now’s the time to book your summer hair appointment, my diary is filling up fast!

See you in June,
