Shimmer and shine
This set is called the Eyeshadow Quad in Summer Dance. Part of D&G's new "sun-kissed" summer makeup, I'm loving the colour scheme - which manages to be glittery, yet earthy. The colours complement each other so beautifully! A seriously cool box that can be popped into my handbag. I have my eye on this eye shadow quad!

It's always been my dream to get a piece of art from The Rug Company - the name sounds so cosy, I'd love to acquire some bragging rights. I hear this Vivienne Westwood cushion, called the 'Rose Dust Cushion' and stuffed with goose down, is up for grabs. Who doesn't love the touch and feel of goose down? And look at those oversized blooms that Vivienne has crafted! If Alice had to choose a cushion in Wonderland, I have a feeling she'd pitch for this.

Perfecting the athleisure stride
I'm a huge fan of Clarks. Huge. This is a shoe brand that stands for comfort - which is key when you're standing on your feet - and their shoes make some pretty great style statements as well. When I spotted this pair, the first thought that came to my mind was: I'm feeling comfy just imagining being in these shoes. That apart, super snazzy, amazing colour, can be worn almost anywhere (I'll take my chances and go formal with these too). I'm also reminded of our past cover story on athleisure: sporty chic. This takes the cake.

No guilt chip on my shoulder
Whoever thought I'd say, "Let's have chips - it's time for some healthy eating"? Terra Chips have been launched in the UAE, and they come in some real fit 'n' fun flavours; they're gluten-free, use real root vegetables and even have a no-salt variant. I've even tried the sweet potato option; I hate sweet potato fries, but these chips I loved! Feeling chipper.
