We’ve got a new brand crush in the form of Green & Spring, a lust worthy new skincare range created by the couple behind super-luxe Cowley Manor and its award winning Spa in the Cotswolds.

The packaging is as cool and clean as Cowley and the lotions and potions inside - made from herbs, flowers and plants native to the British isles - smell like HEAVEN.

Think expensive spas, ultra chic hotel rooms, and luscious herb gardens in summer... Trust us when we say these fragrances are to die for – if only you could scratch and sniff your computer screen...

Our bathroom staples? Their Relaxing Hand Cream – the perfect concoction of marshmallow, comfrey, lavender and camomile.

And for softer than soft post-sun skin, try the incredibly rich Indulging Body Cream (a serious treat for you or a deserving friend).

So, unless you want to find yourself wolfing down chocolate and spending all your pocket money on the vending machine for that afternoon sugar rush, our motto is: be prepared, and stock up on yummy, healthy snacks to keep those rumblings at bay.

The folks at Munchy Seeds have got your afternoon cravings sorted with their, you guessed it, munchy seeds. Originally created by founder Lucinda’s Granny (to keep the grandchildren out of the sweetie jar), Munchy Seeds come in all sorts of delicious combinations, whether it’s your sweet tooth that needs satisfying – we wonder how we ever lived without Vanilla Pumpkin Seeds - or you want something with a bit of bite (the Chilli Mix has a spicy kick).

You'll also find an array of other taste-bud tingling seed combinations to make for guiltless grazing, as well as the brand new Munchy Granola, a lovely blend of oats, seeds, coconut and orange zest, which can be added to yoghurt or simply enjoyed with milk for a nutritious breakfast snack.

Plus do check out their ingenious snack ideas – scatter roasted cherry tomatoes and basil with the Cajun Mix or sprinkle the Chilli Mix in a tuna and mayo sandwich. (Or follow our lead and scoop directly from the tub...)

Each seed mix comes in in 3 different sizes – a huge bucket of the stuff for serious seed addicts, a mini tub perfect for the office drawer, or little sachets for munching on the go.

We're not fussy, as long as it’s served up to us in record time – we’ve worked hard all week and frankly who can be bothered fiddling about with fresh mint leaves and hunting for obscure ingredients (why can’t we find passion fruit when we need it?).

The experts at funkin have the answer with their ready-packed sachets, containing everything you need to create the ultimate, 10-second, fuss-free cocktail. Use yours for easy entertaining, pop a selection in your suitcase for a week away, or even keep a few in your desk drawer for credit-crunch-busting after-work drinks.

Each sachet is made with 100% fresh fruit, and whether you want a White Peach Bellini, refreshing Mojito, classic Cosmo or citrus Passion Fruit Margarita, it’s blissfully easy – all you need is ice, a glass, and the alcoholic tipple of your choice.

Fill a glass with ice, pour in the booze, add the contents of your funkin pouch, stir, garnish and serve. Et voila! Friday cocktails couldn’t be easier…

And no one does colour better than Mr. Matthew Williamson, everyone’s favourite designer and the man every girl wishes was her best friend – Sienna and Kate are lucky, lucky girls.

We’ve lusted after his diaphanous kaftans, cooed over his flirty party dresses and even had a ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ moment in a stampede to get our hands on that dress – you know, the strapless coral number that every celebrity fashionista from Cheryl Cole to Eva Longoria went mad over.

No more shopping stampedes required – here at SheerLuxe we can exclusively reveal that Matthew Williamson has gone where few designers have gone (alone) before, and launched his very own online boutique.

So now it's blissfully easy to click and buy the SS09 fuschia pink silk pantsuit, a snappy jacket, the must-have Escape bangle, or that dress (race you for it).

Just in case there was any doubt in your mind that you could justify making a purchase, you should know that Matthew Williamson is offering SheerLuxe readers 15% OFF all purchases.

Make way for Aquascutum’s AquaMac, the fashion house’s natty new foldaway trench (the perfect light-weight cover-up for the recent Spring showers), as photographed on a troupe of drop-dead gorgeous models by photographer extraordinaire, Tim Walker.

Take your pick from single or double breasted (£195 and £250 respectively) in a palette of mouth-watering rainbow colours.

The classic Navy is very Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s – or at least that’s how we’re going to imagine ourselves when we really look like drowned rats after our umbrella has packed in and a bus has sprayed us with puddle water. Aternatively, opt for a pop of colour with the Lipstick Pink trench.

Simply throw one over your work dress or a pair of jeans and Converse, and knot at the waist. And when you’ve reached dry land, simply fold up and pop in your handbag.

Because dashing through the pouring rain has never looked so glamorous (and at £195, so within our reach).

If you follow fashion then you'll know that now's the time to whip it out again (ok maybe not that exact one) and prepare to put up with the temple pain, because the accessory du jour is the statement hairband, or Blairband, as dubbed by fans of TV series Gossip Girl...But it’s not just any designer that gets to adorn Blair Waldorf’s (the show's star) carefully coiffured hair, but hot new hair accessories designers, Jennifer Ouellette and Jennifer Behr. And now, us Brits can get a piece of the bejewelled action, with their ranges available at Liberty (we love the Jennifer Behr's Crystal Knot Headwrap.)If you simply can’t justify spending that much on a hairband (spoilsport), there are lots of alternatives to satisfy your cravings. Eugenia Kim’s Rose version is perfectly pretty, whilst Helene Berman's Bow Headband is a fabulous throwback to the eighties.Plus, there’s nothing cuter than a little girl in a pretty hairband, and Little Fashion Gallery know it. That why they’ve enlisted designer Le Tour de Force to create a range of head pieces and hairbands especially for little ones from the wacky to the whimsical to the darn right adorable (we’re referring to the Floral Crown – we defy you not to squeal with delight).Jennifer Ouellette and Jennifer Behr are available at www.Liberty.co.ukLe Tour de Force is available at www.LittleFashionGallery.co.uk...

If you follow fashion then you'll know that now's the time to whip it out again (ok maybe not that exact one) and prepare to put up with the temple pain, because the accessory du jour is the statement hairband, or Blairband, as dubbed by fans of TV series Gossip Girl...

But it’s not just any designer that gets to adorn Blair Waldorf’s (the show's star) carefully coiffured hair, but hot new hair accessories designers, Jennifer Ouellette and Jennifer Behr. And now, us Brits can get a piece of the bejewelled action, with their ranges available at Liberty (we love the Jennifer Behr's Crystal Knot Headwrap.)

If you simply can’t justify spending that much on a hairband (spoilsport), there are lots of alternatives to satisfy your cravings.

Eugenia Kim’s Rose version is perfectly pretty, whilst Helene Berman's Bow Headband is a fabulous throwback to the eighties.

Plus, there’s nothing cuter than a little girl in a pretty hairband, and Little Fashion Gallery know it. That why they’ve enlisted designer Le Tour de Force to create a range of head pieces and hairbands especially for little ones from the wacky to the whimsical to the darn right adorable (we’re referring to the Floral Crown – we defy you not to squeal with delight).

Unsurprisingly then, we love Jo Malone’s new, limited edition Kohdo Wood Collection, and not least because of our favourite packaging, but also because of the two delicious new scents...

One for day – the energising Lotus Blossom & Water Lily (blending notes of fresh mandarin and cool lotus blossom), and the other for night – sensual Dark Amber & Ginger Lily, an exotic mix of black cardamom, orchid and kyara wood.

To celebrate its launch, our friends at Jo Malone are inviting SheerLuxe readers to enter their free prize draw to win one of ten Kohdo Wood Collections, each featuring the fragrance and candle in each scent, shower gel (perfect for jumpstarting the day) and bathing soak.

It’s the perfect present to thank your hostess for organising the Easter egg hunt, stewarding the children taking part (who by this point are running wild on sugar highs, as are the adults, who haven’t eaten chocolate since before Lent), and generally making the four-day Easter weekend an absolute breeze.

This S/S there’s something to suit everyone, from daring style mavens (revel at the brash colours and hard shoulders a la Dynasty) to the more demure (embrace your feminine side with ruffles and bows in blush-coloured chiffon and silks).

A perfect companion to all those frills (and the anecdote to those bold shoulder pads and traffic light colours) is the new floral - an oversized, watercolour-style bouquet - just the thing for those hard-to-dress-for events on your social calendar.

And creatures of comfort (who would gladly spend their days in cashmere all-in-ones if they could) will lap up folksy seventies and bohemian traveller - think wide-leg jeans, super-high wedges, glamourous kaftans and strappy gladiators.

Plus, the seasonal favourite, St. Tropez-ready Riviera (lashings of nautical stripes, navys and whites). And fashion magpies listen up - drenching yourself in molten metallics and sparkling sequins has never been so in vogue.
