Move over, bows—it’s time to unravel the ribbons and make way for the next big thing in fashion. Charms are taking centre stage this year, proving that the smallest accessories can make the biggest statements. These playful, personal adornments are everywhere, from jewellery to bags and even clothing, offering a fresh way to express individuality. “Charms are smaller, more personal, and way easier to wear on the daily,” says Blake Asaad, founder of GOODSTONE, a leader in exquisitely crafted diamond jewellery. “This is perfect for millennials and Gen Z, who are all about self-expression, authenticity, and accessories that actually mean something.” Whether it’s a mushroom charm for your cottagecore aesthetic or a celestial moon pendant to channel your inner dreamer, 2025 is proving that good things really do come in small packages. Below, Blake Asaad breaks down the charm trend and shares how to incorporate it into your wardrobe. 1. Charm Bracelets 2.0: A Classic Reimagined Charm bracelets are back, but not as you remember them. Forget clunky chains overloaded with random trinkets. In 2025, charm bracelets are sleek, modular, and fully customisable. “Picture delicate chains with interchangeable charms you can clip on and off like little fashion mood rings,” says Blake. “Feeling beachy? Pick seashell and starfish charms. Big meeting? Go for a minimalist set with your initials and polished stones. They’re designed to adapt to your mood and style effortlessly.” How to Wear It:  Stack multiple charm bracelets for a layered effect, or keep it simple with a single bracelet and a few meaningful charms. Trend Prediction:  Magnetic and clip-on charms will dominate, making customisation quick and easy. 2. Layered Stories: Charm Necklaces Evolve What started as a cute summer trend has transformed into a year-round staple. Charm necklaces are all about telling a story, combining clusters of tiny treasures into a cohesive look. “Instead of a single charm on a chain, expect layered necklaces with multiple charms, each representing something personal,” says Blake. “It’s about individuality—a crescent moon, an engraved initial, and a tiny book, for example, can symbolise dreams, identity, and creativity.” How to Wear It:  Mix chains of varying lengths and scatter charms at different points for a relaxed yet intentional aesthetic. Trend Prediction:  Travel-inspired charms (think passports, planes, and globes) and celestial motifs (stars, moons, and constellations) will dominate collections. 3. Bags With Personality In 2025, your bag is more than just an accessory—it’s a canvas for self-expression. Think oversized tassels on zippers or small trinkets clipped to straps. “Luxury brands are already hopping on this trend with bags designed to showcase charms,” says Blake. “They add personality and make even the most minimalist totes feel unique.” How to Wear It:  Use a bold statement charm for impact, or cluster smaller trinkets on your bag strap for a playful touch. Trend Prediction:  Destination-themed charms—tiny Eiffel Towers, New York taxis, or cherry blossoms—will be hugely popular, along with personalised initials. 4. Walk This Way: Shoe Charms This trend is taking fashion to unexpected places—your shoes. From sneaker laces to ankle straps, shoe charms are bringing a fresh twist to footwear. “Imagine sneakers with little stars, pearls, or lock-and-key charms casually swinging as you walk,” says Blake. “They’re playful, versatile, and completely removable, so you can switch up your look anytime.” How to Wear It:  Add metallic charms to white sneakers for understated elegance, or embrace quirky, colourful designs for a bolder vibe. Trend Prediction:  Modular charms for shoes will become a thing, with endless mix-and-match options to suit every mood. 5. Charm-Enhanced Clothing Charms aren’t stopping at accessories—they’re making their way into clothing. “From metallic charms sewn along denim hems to delicate trinkets dangling from hoodie strings, these details are transforming everyday outfits,” says Blake. How to Wear It:  Look for jackets with charm-lined pockets or clip charms onto belt loops and zippers for a unique twist. Trend Prediction:  Expect denim brands to offer charm loops on jackets and jeans, enabling easy customisation. 6. Tiny Tokens, Big Meanings At its core, the charm trend is about storytelling. “Charms are deeply personal and full of meaning,” says Blake. “Zodiac signs, birthstones, initials, or mini lockets are all ways to wear your story—and they’re not going out of style anytime soon.” How to Wear It:  Start with one charm that’s meaningful to you and build your collection over time. Trend Prediction:  Astrology and nature-inspired themes, celebrating elements like fire, earth, water, and air, will continue to thrive. “Charms offer a refreshing way to stand out in a world dominated by fast fashion,” Blake says. “Each piece is like a little breadcrumb of your personality, whether it’s a favourite city, a meaningful date, or your zodiac sign. They’re playful, versatile, and accessible, tapping perfectly into the desire for individuality and self-expression in 2025.” So, whether you’re adding a charm to your favourite bag or layering necklaces that tell your story, this year’s biggest trend proves that it’s the little things that count. https://www.goodstoneinc.com/

With UK temperatures plummeting to -20C in some areas, a sunny escape has never sounded better — and we think it's the perfect time to embark on a culinary escapade to the AMARA , a luxury sanctuary located close to the famous royal ancient Kingdom of Amathus. Located in the heart of Limassol, Cyprus, the fastest developing and second largest town in Cyprus, this city is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and rich and colourful history. With a history dating back to the Archaic period, many rich, archaeological finds are located in Limassol and AMARA pays homage to its proximity to this sacred land by way of its name. Boasting almost 365 days of sunshine and laid-back island vibes, the resort is poised above a 250m bay of golden sand and azure waters. Named after the ancient Greek word Amarantos, meaning ‘everlasting,’ the AMARA aims to offer guests an exclusive and unique experience that will create wonderful, forever memories.  A stone’s throw from the busy cosmopolitan city centre, the AMARA is the newest property of the Stademos Hotel Group collection. Boasting 207 elegantly appointed rooms and suites all offering 180-degree views of the sea, the high-end sophisticated property boasts world-class restaurants headed by prominent celebrity chefs, a signature spa, infinity pool and a grand ballroom for special occasions. Using only the freshest ingredients, fusing delicate flavours with subtle aromas, guests’ appetite takes centre stage, with four world-class restaurants spearheaded by some of the world’s most celebrated chefs. Each restaurant combines lighting, music, colours and textures to express its own singular sense of place.  Setting new standards for Cyprus’ culinary scene, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa and the AMARA have joined forces to bring a highly contemporary vision of Japanese cuisine to the island. With a Whiskey Bar for private events and a Teppanyaki Table, it offers a highly contemporary vision of Japanese cuisine, creating a gastronomic encounter between Asia and Latin America. Its unique Japanese-Peruvian menu is complemented by a bespoke array of NOBU’s legendary signature dishes including salmon karashi su miso, black cod with miso, white fish dry miso and more.  Headed by celebrity chef Giorgio Locatelli, Ristorante Locatelli brings his version of traditional Italian dishes while adding his own creative flair. From homemade pasta and rich risottos, this dining experience is seasoned with one of the city’s most romantic views of the Mediterranean Sea. At BeefBar, visitors are presented with a sensory journey of creative street food, iconic plates and delectable sides made with the best meat cuts from around the world. Brainchild of restaurateur Riccardo Giraudo who, in partnership with his Executive Chef Thierry Paludeto, the restaurant presents the finest cuts of beef from Australia, Japan and the United States in its laid-back atmosphere.  Dedicated to all things seafood, Nerea is perfectly located right where the waves meet the shore. Guests can indulge in a selection of freshly caught fish paired with an array of delectable sauces and sides, as well as oysters, caviar and lobster are also available for the ultimate beachside dining experience. Alongside its collection of gourmet restaurants, the AMARA boasts four bars, with the Rooftop Bar being the resort’s crowning jewel. Offering a chic, contemporary atmosphere, it is the ideal place to unwind, watch the sunset with a cocktail in hand, whilst enjoying relaxing lounge music. The palatial grounds of the AMARA combine clean lines with monolithic forms, using locally sourced materials, to create a thoroughly modern atmosphere. Its design allows natural light to flood in and light up the stark white and sea-blue interiors, blurring the lines between indoor and out, creating a perfect merge of dream and reality. While each accommodation is meticulously conceived and thoughtfully designed to offer a unique way of life, the standout two-bedroom AMARA suite spanning 230m² is the epitome of ultimate indulgence, featuring a spacious elegant terrace and a pool of 100m² overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Home to two infinity pools, one outdoor seawater adults-only infinity pool for spa guests and a children’s pool, the pools are some of the most idyllic, elegant and sophisticated places to enjoy on the island. A slice of paradise that caters to guests seeking a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life is the AMARA’s Signature Spa which provides 3,500 sqm of relaxation. In partnership with Cosmedix and Organic Pharmacy, treatments are personalised and tailored to each guest’s specific set of needs, combining the therapeutic benefits of professional products with both ancient and modern techniques that are guaranteed to achieve results. Private sessions are available in their fully-equipped gym while a hairdressing salon, barbershop and nail bar are also available for guests. Great for couples as well as families, it’s easy to be mesmerized by the view and luxurious offerings at Amara. The sleek, high-design hotel raises the hotel game in Limassol and shimmers on the Cyprus coast.

TikTok has been a treasure trove of beauty inspiration this past year, and the latest trend to capture our attention – the ‘cinnamon roll’ look – is inspired by none other than Hailey Bieber and the launch of Rhode’s lip product in December of 2024. Full of warm, spicy hues and a signature dewy finish, this versatile trend works beautifully for both day and night. Here’s everything you need to know to master the look. What Is the ‘Cinnamon Roll’ Trend? The ‘cinnamon roll’ trend is all about glowing skin, soft brown tones, and a touch of cinnamon-inspired warmth. Think subtle bronzes, hints of caramel, and glossy, hydrated lips that reflect light beautifully. This trend leans into understated glamour, making it perfect for any occasion. The Must-Have Products Achieving this look is simple with the right products: Skin Prep: Start with a hydrating base. A lightweight moisturiser or primer with a dewy finish will give your skin a luminous glow. Try : Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid or Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream. Complexion: Go for a natural, sheer foundation or tinted moisturiser to even out your skin tone. Add a cream bronzer for warmth and a touch of cream blush in a cinnamon or terracotta shade. Try : NARS Laguna Bronzing Cream or Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in ‘Love.’ Eyes : Keep the eyes simple but warm. Use a creamy brown shadow all over the lid, blended out for a soft-focus effect. Add a touch of shimmer to the centre of the lid and a slick of brown mascara for definition. Try : Urban Decay Naked Mini Palette in ‘Sin’ and Ilia Limitless Lash Mascara in brown. Lips: The star of the show. Go for a cinnamon-toned lip liner to define, then layer with a glossy balm or lip oil for that signature shine. Try : Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment in ‘Cinnamon’ or Dior Lip Glow Oil in ‘Mahogany.’ Application Tips Layering Is Key: Build up your look gradually for a natural, polished finish. Start light and add more pigment as needed. Blend, Blend, Blend: Use a fluffy brush or your fingers to blend cream products seamlessly into your skin. Highlight Strategically: Add a touch of highlighter to the high points of your face, like the cheekbones, brow bone, and the tip of your nose, for extra glow. Why It Works The ‘cinnamon roll’ trend is universally flattering, thanks to its warm, earthy tones and skin-enhancing finish. Whether you’re heading out for a daytime coffee or a candlelit dinner, this look is adaptable and effortlessly chic. Give it a try and let your inner glow shine!

When the mastermind behind Jennifer Aniston’s iconic “The Rachel” haircut calls out a new hair trend, we are already on board, with our phones at the ready, waiting to tell our hairdressers that we "have to book in immediately" . Chris McMillan, the hair stylist responsible for countless red carpet and magazine cover hair moments over the last 30 years, is celebrated for his understated yet impeccable approach to styling. His talent has earned him a long list of A-list clients, including Jennifer Aniston, Gigi Hadid, Cameron Diaz, Claudia Schiffer, Lily Aldridge, and Selena Gomez. Recently, McMillan unveiled a fresh look for his latest client, actress Leila George, who stars in the upcoming indie film The Long Home  alongside The Hunger Games ’ Josh Hutcherson. Sharing the details of Leila’s straight, flicked hairstyle on Instagram, he wrote, “Leila George Golden Globes final touches!!!” He revealed her haircut and colour, a warm “chestnut bronde,” were inspired by Jennifer Aniston’s sleek early 2000s styles. McMillan’s signature aesthetic—a polished, natural look—shines through in this latest creation. Chestnut bronde, a blend of golden, blonde, and chestnut hues, offers a softer alternative to brighter blondes and has been gaining traction as a go-to trend for 2025. Leila isn’t the only star embracing the chestnut hair movement. Ariana Grande transitioned from her platinum “Glinda blonde” to a chestnut bronde for the Golden Globes, while Zendaya debuted a chic chestnut brunette bob on the same red carpet. The enduring appeal of soft, face-framing layers continues to complement this trend. Layers that gently frame the cheeks, jaw, and collarbone add to the effortless sophistication of the look. For Leila’s style, McMillan achieved a glossy yet relaxed finish with a few smooth passes of a straightener—a modern nod to early 2000s elegance that feels just as fresh in 2025.

Each year, London’s oldest auction house Sotheby’s hosts its incredible design week auctions, dedicated to exceptional works of design. Celebrated alongside this year's sales lineup, was Tiffany & Co’s exclusive dinnerware collection in partnership with César Foundation. Sotheby’s salute to the exquisite work of Tiffany & Co during the week of events, was recognised through the Dreaming in Glass: Masterworks by Tiffany Studio’s auction. This curation of Tiffany & Co’s most important designs headed to auction with Sotheby’s on 13th December, including a rare Tiffany window, sold for a staggering $1.2 million.  Tiffany’s latest collection, however, was displayed in a devoted exhibition during this year’s design week, paying homage to the work of French artisan César Baldaccini.  Sculptor Baldaccini, a leading figure in the new realism era, found beauty in the unconventional and masterfully transformed compacted and recycled materials into works of art. Most notably his ‘Compression’ sculptures welded stacks of scrap metal into statuesque structures, with this work later becoming sought-after amongst art enthusiasts. Yet, it was his playful broken plate design of the early 70’s that served as inspiration for this one-of-a-kind Tiffany & Co. collection. Artist Director of Tiffany Home Lauren Santo Domingo shares that  “The collection taps into his radical creativity to express the notion of breaking conventions of modern living. At their core, these collections celebrate Tiffany’s heritage and our long-standing connection to the art world.” The collection, an ode to the spirit of ‘inventive artistry’, fuses the sculptor’s archival designs with Tiffany & Co’s stylised flair. Comprising beautifully ornate espresso cups and ‘broken’ dessert plates, César Baldaccini’s revolutionary work shines throughout the collection.  “César was fascinated with the idea of repurposing and recontextualizing. He took the idea of a broken plate and applied a new vision,” says Stephanie Busuttil-Janssen, Founder and President of the César Foundation. “His kitchen walls and ceiling were covered with white and blue broken plates, classic ceramics that he found in the market. It was beautiful. Even his garden featured broken plates – it’s something that is very César.” In true Baldaccini fashion, the César Foundation and Tiffany offer precious materials across the collection, including bone china dinnerware and gold-plated brass coffee spoons. Taking inspiration from Tiffany & Co gemstones, and of course the iconic Tiffany blue, the collection’s colourways adopt a revitalised and refreshed feeling. The pièce de résistance, a bronze-adorned charger plate, recalls the sculptor's love for the Art Nouveau movement. Inspired by Baldaccini’s ‘Expansion’ pieces of the late 60’s, this beautiful molten-metal creation marks a new and daring direction for tableware, much like César's ingenious mid-century art. Sotheby’s exhibition, held during their design week, accompanied Tiffany’s designs with a tablescape, which captured the essence of the collection to no end. Set upon a 1977 ‘Table Expansion’ by the sculptor himself, the display featured several art pieces inspired by César’s designs beside the full dinnerware collection. Tiffany & Co. and César Foundation’s creations are a true testament to the French sculptor and Tiffany’s enduring connection to the world of art. While the collection may not be up for auction with Tiffany Studios rare and vintage pieces just yet, it is certainly one for luxury collectors and art lovers alike to treasure. Discover the full collection below. Set of Six Coffee Spoons - $1,380 Dessert Plates - $960 Espresso Cups - $1,725 Cocktail Napkin - $410 Charger - $9,500 Coupe Bowl - $5,000
