We love... Do tell the bride

Charlotte Olympia's exclusive romance-inspired collection is just the thing for fashion forward brides-to-be looking for something special for their big day – there's nary an ivory sateen pump to be seen.

£990, net-a-porter.com

We're not sure about... Tantastic

There's nothing like learning from a master, but if you think that rich mahogany is a shade suitable only for furniture and fences, Peter Andre's endorsement of Fake Bake's new Sport Daily Tan will be enough to warrant staying pale and interesting this summer.

We're buying... Pot of gold

A remarkable 75 years since it was invented on a household stovetop, this mentholated balm is certainly tried and tested. A must-have for many, the original, untinted formula remains the best, reaching hero status with those who have ever been chapped of lip.

£2.69, Carmex, available nationwide

We can't wait for... Hat's off to him

The season of hats will soon be upon us – and where better to look for inspiration than milliner Stephen Jones? "From Georgiana to Boy George"explores his eclectic influences and the changing fashions during a career spanning more than three decades.

From 19 May, The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, County Durham DL12

We're booking now...Stick to your guns

The Tommy Guns team know what works, and their latest salon is loaded with special touches like original deco features from a 1920s barber shop and manicure queen Sophy Robson's nail bar.

Tommy Guns Piccadilly, 103/113 Regent Street, London W1, 0207 734 5700.
