Haircare products may be dime a dozen, but Dyson’s range of haircare tools has proven its worth to the beauty community and beyond.
The Dyson Airwrap probably needs no introduction, but in case you need to get reacquainted with this cult favourite, this multi-styler comes with six different barrel and brush extensions, giving you the freedom to go from soft and unstructured waves to big bold curls anytime you want.
As the old adage goes, hair is the crowning glory of women, so if you could turn up your confidence with photoshoot-ready locks, we’re all for it. Available in 6 different colourways, our pick would be the latest and limited edition Topaz Orange for that bold and gorgeous pop of colour on your vanity — fitting for the gorgeous lady that you are.

Shopping for a good cause? Sounds like a win-win to us. To commemorate this year’s IWD, Charles & Keith partnered with UN Women to launch a limited edition colourway for one of their bestselling handbags, the Alia. This gorgeous hue of purple is not only in vogue this season, but it also has a deep-rooted history, often linked to efforts to achieve gender equality, and widely associated with contemporary feminism.
The Alia crossbody bag features a timeless boxy silhouette that is spacious, making it the perfect everyday accessory, whether you’re out running errands or grabbing dinner with your girl gang. 20% of all proceeds from this limited edition number will go towards funding the UN Women’s Storytelling for Gender Equality programme.

Put your best foot forward and take on the world in style with the iconic cool girl shoes — the Nike AF-1s!
This version in the Vachetta Tan colourway just dropped a couple of weeks ago, and we’re completely obsessed. It has casual and classy in perfect balance, and because of its neutral tone, pairs well with almost any outfit. Also available in Saturn Gold (a slightly yellower shade of the Vachetta Tan).
Price: S$215.00, with additional 8.5% cashback (~S$18.30) with YouTrip Perks

Inspired by their 1996 archival underwear campaign, this bralette and hipster panties collection features the iconic box monogram motif, and is perfect for when you’re lounging at home. Available in 4 colours.

Who doesn’t love an easy Sunday morning? You wake up, lounge around in your comfiest clothes, put on your favourite music and grab a cuppa. Sounds like the life doesn’t it?
With REPLICA’s Lazy Sunday Morning Eau de Toilette, you can turn every day into Sunday with just a spritz. This scent combines the heady scent of patchouli and white musk, with floral notes and a citrusy finish. The scent is supposed to remind you of fresh laundry and crumpled linen sheets — we adore that. Did we also mention that this is also a TikTok-approved scent?

Dry and itchy eyes cramping your style? We know that feeling all too well. Enter: warm compresses for those peepers. They’re great for providing hydrating and soothing relief, especially if you find yourself staring at the computer screen for long hours of the day.
We love these self-warming eye masks by MegRhythm for their convenience and effectiveness — simply pop open a pack during your lunch break, and enjoy the enforced 20-minute screen break. You can even throw in a meditation session during this time so that you emerge bright-eyed, clear-headed, and ready to take on the rest of the day like the girl boss you are.
Price: S$15.55 for a pack of 12, with additional 2.1% cashback (~S$0.33) with YouTrip Perks

11. ASOS Belted Cord Blazer Co-ord In Lilac

The #CorporateGirly aesthetic is alive and well, and we’re here for it. While we’ll trade the hustle culture for self-care and work-life harmony any day, we’d be lying if we say that it doesn’t feel inspiring and empowering knowing that we can take on the big corporate world.
And oftentimes, the first step is feeling your best — with an amazing outfit that screams confidence and style. We love this co-ord blazer from ASOS for its pop of colour and fit. Pair it with those AF-1s for a laidback look, or go hard with your favourite stiletto heels. Either way, know that you’ll feel and look great.
Price: S$102.07 (U.P. S$113.41), with up to 5% cashback (~S$5.70) with YouTrip Perks
