Grazia Editor Picks / Dior Small Dior Jolie Top Handle Bag, $8000 SHOP NOW
“I’ve been slinging around giant tote bags for a while now, but I’ve come to realise that the more space I have, the more unnecessary stuff I heap with me wherever I go, so it’s time to invest in something a little sleeker. The only issue is that smaller bags can feel a little charmless at time, with so many options fitting the same cookie-cutter looks. Enter the ‘Jolie’ bag from Dior’s Summer 2024 accessories collection. Its structured silhouette and top handle give a timeless polish to an everyday look, while its iconic cannage exterior, removable chain strap and gold ‘CD’ clasp with a freshwater pearl offer a bold, free-spirited allure.” — Pema Bakshi, fashion features editor
Cue Crystal Chain top, $316 SHOP NOW
“Cue’s new, Autumn/Winter 2024 drop sees its archival suiting accented with eclectic one-offs. Case in point, this crystal chain top. The netted structure is made from metal and glass beads and, as such, acts as much as a piece of jewellery as it does a top. Usually paired with a bralette and jeans, the house deftly styled the piece under a suit—a glamorous cue that not only shows the evolution of the brand, but can quite literally cause a chain reaction. I have my eye on this one.” – Jessica Bailey, editorial director
Ganni Mary Jane Ballerinas, $495 SHOP NOW
“While Mary Janes have enjoyed being subject to every fashionable interpretation possible (meshed! heeled! buckled!) I’m looking to this sturdy school-girl style by Ganni. The structured square toe is something I’ve rarely seen on MJs which provides a girlish contrast to loafers or boots. Plus, the strap and embellished detail provides a fun point of difference on a style that mightn’t otherwise read as academic.” – Ava Gilchrist, senior fashion features writer
TWO GOOD X JAC+JACK BLANKET, $385 SHOP NOW
“We love shopping for a cause, and these Two Good Co X Jac+Jack blankets make it all too easy. For their second collaboration, these special edition quilted blankets, which are inspired by traditional Indian Razai quilts, will bring warmth to those who need it most, as for every blanket purchased, an identical one will be gifted to a local women’s shelter.” — Pema Bakshi, fashion features editor
Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors, $35 SHOP NOW
“Having never consumed Coco Mellor’s work, I’d, of course, seen her debut Cleopatra & Frankenstein plastered all over my social media feed; I found myself pleasantly gripped by her sophomore novel, Blue Sisters. The story shifts in perspective of each of the titular ‘Blue’ sisters; Avery, a lawyer living in London, Bonnie, a down-and-out boxer hiding out in Los Angeles and Lucky, the youngest, a supermodel roaming around Paris. When the trio find themselves together in New York a year after the death of their sister Nicky, Mellor holds a mirror to the extent family can inflict both pleasure and pain onto one another. This book will be a page turner for anyone who knows the blood of sisterhood runs deep (and blue!)” – Ava Gilchrist, senior fashion features writer
Vanessa Megan Metamorphosis Shield Neck & Décolletage Coconut Membrane Mask, 3 pack, $65 SHOP NOW
“I’ve flown long-haul twice in the last two months and those in-the-know will tell you that cabin pressure can wreak havoc on your skin. That, and it takes a long time to acclimate to your destination’s water, humidity etc. While I’ve written on the face products I like to travel with, I’ve recently added a new one to my kit: The Metamorphosis Shield Neck & Décolletage Coconut Membrane Mask from Vanessa Megan. Yes, we often forget about our necks and chests, and they are so important. This mask, fortified with 22 amino acids, delivers instant hydration to the areas, stimulates collagen production and thus boosts elastin. Your body moisturiser will glide on beautifully afterwards! Pop one on on your next flight, or in your hotel room. I’m also a huge fan of the brand’s pore-refining mist.” – Jessica Bailey, editorial director
Biologique Recherche Spa @ Mecca George St BOOK NOW
“With the bustling CBD blocked out entirely, MECCA George St’s latest offering is a must-visit for those looking for a slice of pampering in the city. In news that’ll thrill any skincare girlie, cult-favourite French brand Biologique Recherche has taken up residency within the in-store treatment space. Not only can customers now experience the innovative technology that just about every facialist raves about, but with the brand’s Skin Instant Lab, a unique system utilised to analyse and diagnose skin needs at a deep level, you’re getting a tailored treatment and product recommendations to suit you.” — Pema Bakshi, fashion features editor
ZULU & ZEPHYR BONDI STORE EXPLORE NOW
“Zulu & Zephyr has always been a go-to for effortless beachside throw-ons that can seamlessly merge with my office wear and beyond, so their new brick-and-mortar in Bondi is a lifesaver. Setting up roots where the brand was founded twelve years ago, the new store echoes the warmth and elevated coastal cool that the clothes and swimwear have always offered, inviting customers to immerse themselves in the refined comfort that epitomises Sydney style.” — Pema Bakshi, fashion features editor
Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops, $117 SHOP NOW
“As my beloved Kosas Face Oil whittles down to its last drops, I’m looking to replace the unique hybrid with this skincare-infused complex from Westman Atelier. Combining the ingredients of a serum with the performance of a skin-tint, this liquid formula offers buildable-to-medium coverage and an even tone for enhanced radiance. Dab the pearlescent Lit Up Highlight Stick in ‘Brûlée’ to your cheekbone and you’re ready to go!” – Ava Gilchrist, senior fashion features writer
Benefit GimmeBrow+ Volumising Eyebrow Gel Mini, $28 SHOP NOW
“I know. The upkeep of our brows in our busy lives is hard. So, when an email landed in my inbox this month asking if I’d like to have my arches done at the Benefit brow bar, I carved out the time to make the appointment. I’ve always said this: the difference a good brow artist can make in defining and shaping your face is immeasurable (and that’s exactly what happened after said appointment). But, like I mentioned, the upkeep is hard. Enter Benefit’s GimmeBrow+, a brow-volumising fibre gel which clings to, and colours, those fine, light hairs post-tint. It shapes and smooths and is my go-to for in-between appointments. Who am I kidding? I use it every day.” – Jessica Bailey, editorial director
Christopher Esber Cusco Silk Drape Top, $850 SHOP NOW
“This deliciously draped silk off-the-shoulder top from Christopher Esber immediately puts all other long sleeve ‘going out’ tops to shame. As we head into cooler weather, I added this sumptuous piece to my wish list as soon as I saw the relaxed folding. This isn’t something that will survive a dinner due to the exaggerated sleeves, but I’ll be wearing it with jeans while writing at home à la Carrie Bradshaw, or with a pleated midi skirt and strappy heels out at a canapé soirée.” – Ava Gilchrist, senior fashion features writer
