01 | Refresh your wardrobe with Sportmax
For their SS20 collection, Sportmax is looking to the ocean for its inspiration — in particular, the sailors who bravely venture forward into the great unknown. What this translates into is a wardrobe rife with nautical influences. Billowy tent dresses recall the sails that unfurl in the Mediterranean sea, while the use of stiff leather harnesses to contrast silky blouses suggests a utilitarian approach to dressing up.
Other obvious nautical influences come in the form of stripes, fisherman sweaters and caps donned by many of the models, but the star buy from the collection has to be the roped sandals — comfortable and perfect for an off-duty day.

05 | These YSL serums work their magic as you sleep
Given that a majority of us sleep with air conditioning at night, it’s safe to say that it’s paramount that you have a skincare regime that works. Enter YSL Beauty, with the new line of serums.
Called Pure Shots, the stars of the series are four serums that aim to address different skin concerns. Start with the Hydra Bounce Essence-in-Lotion, which blends vitamins E and B3 to prep and soothe your skin. Then, follow with the Night Reboot Resurfacing Serum — a lightweight serum that features 3.4 per cent of glycolic acid, a blend of argan and seed oils, as well as moonlight cactus flower, extracts to help exfoliate, smoothen and regenerate your skin.
Then, based on your skin’s concerns, choose an accompanying serum (or use ’em all) to cater to your needs. The Light Up Brightening Serum helps hydrate and improve dull skin tones thanks to the vitamin C and marshmallow flower extracts, and the Lines Away Anti-Aging Serum restores a youthful complexion. There’s also the Y Shape Firming Serum, which helps you achieve a visible lift to your skin.
