We’ve got that Friday feeling and what better way to show the love than to share with you our five ‘Feel Good Friday’ friends…
No 1 – VAPOUR Organic Beauty. Heard of them? Most likely not – in the UK it’s a word of mouth affair, but once you’ve test driven the make up and skincare, you won’t look back. Founders; Kristine (master of the art of pigment blending) and Krysia (healer and botanical alchemist) are committed to delivering the most luxurious, sustainable and cruelty free products that contain only the purest, natural ingredients – the make up not only delivers high performance colour, but simultaneous skin-caring goodness. Yes, the ingredients are THAT good. (You can shop the make up look below…)

No 2 -ZOE JORDAN. Clean lines, boyish cool and a structured elegance that feels effortless to the wearer and looks luxuriously modern to the onlooker. This is knitwear with a difference. The Stylish Stuff loves the ‘Chevron High Hawking Knit’ £325, available from The Shop at Bluebird. Maybe it’s just that sexy little hit of shoulder or the sensuous slither of silver – but we’re smitten.

No 3 – ZARA – meet the winner of our ‘#somethingfortheweekend at the price of a pub round price piece’, (yes it’s a mouthful). THIS shirt meets sweatshirt is pure modernist gorgeousness. The Stylish Stuff Loves. Contrast frilled sweatshirt £25.99, Zara.
No 4 – ASH Majestic Star Motif Trainers. The go-to footwear when heels are a faff but you need a little va va voom. £175, Ash Footwear.
No 5- ALEX MONROE & what Alex made to celebrate the release of Beauty & The Beast. Meet the Disney collaboration that’s grown up, fun and something you’ll actually want to wear. Chandelier earrings – yes please. A hand mirrored pendant – why not? As usual Alex woos with quirky detail and for adult lovers of the enchanted fairy tale, this is a must. Coming soon at Alex Monroe.
