Love List // What's Hot & In Our Shopping Cart This Month - July 2025

New month, new obsessions. From must-have beauty buys to cult fashion finds, and a few lifestyle luxuries we’re manifesting into our carts, our wish lists are looking extra tempting.

Whether you’re hunting for the next viral skincare hero, dreaming of dopamine-dressing, or just want to treat yourself to something that sparks joy, this is your July edit. We’ve done the scrolling, swatching, and splurging so you don’t have to. Here’s what’s hot, what’s hyped, and what we’re adding to our carts this month.

• New season Handbag from Victoria Beckham

Our mind has already turned to what we want as our new season handbag and VB bags are always top of our wish list - they're chic with a twist, not overly branded and well they're also pretty timeless. The Italian-made Victoria tote bag boasts an equal dose of quiet elegance and functionality. Geometric panels of soft calfskin form its spacious silhouette, and elongated, slim twin straps ensure easy top-handle and shoulder carry.
