Linen is always big news for summer. Its popularity over the last couple of years has not only seeped into our wardrobes but into the interiors world too – specifically our bedding. The perfect option for the summer months when rising temperatures may disrupt your slumber, linen’s temperature-regulating abilities will help you sleep comfortably all year round.

Better still, it looks good. A minimalist’s dream, colours are usually simple and neutral in tone, but for those who love a hint of more, there are pink, green, striped and gingham patterns available.

Here are the best linen bedding pieces to purchase this summer.

Blush has had a huge renaissance recently. Thanks to the likes of Hailey Bieber, it has become the It girl product to apply when you want your skin to look instantly healthier. 

The problem? Due to this sudden surge in popularity, some of us may be overzealous with our application. If you’re plagued with the same issue, let me introduce you to liquid blush. Due to its lightweight, almost water-like texture, it creates a subtle flush that can be layered for something a bit bolder, but you’re unlikely to reach the same intensity as a traditional blush, due to the watercolour effect these provide.

If this sounds like something you need added to your make-up bag, here are the best liquid blushes I’ve tried and tested that provide the perfect sunkissed flush, just in time for summer.  

Forget the orange of an Aperol and the green of a St Germain; this summer’s trending spritz is hot pink, just the right balance of sweet and sour, and utterly delicious.

We’re talking, of course, about the Sarti spritz, the refreshing Italian aperitif you may have seen taking over terraces across the city. Think of it as a sweeter, more tropical alternative to a traditional Aperol spritz, featuring flavours of Sicilian blood orange, mango and passion fruit.

It’s the ultimate refreshing beverage to enjoy come 5pm, once your laptop has been slammed shut, or to serve friends as a delightful BBQ welcome drink.

The best part? It’s incredibly easy to recreate at home.
