Monday Must-Haves

As we delve one week further into 2018, we all struggle with the inevitability of Monday mornings. Most of us will be sipping on our third coffee before nine o’clock, and here at Remix we're no different.

Monday’s are all about a positive attitude, which is an essential to every good working week. If the 6am yoga class isn’t working for you or your açai smoothie bowl didn’t recharge your batteries, why don’t you indulge in our favourite Monday Must-Haves for this week? I promise you they won’t disappoint!

If there is one positive about the months flying by, it is that the time between our favourite seasonal releases seems minimal. Which is why this weeks must-haves are the style rejuvenation you didn’t know you needed! Jo Malone’s new English Fields collection will transport your senses to a countryside worthy of a Pride and Prejudice re-enactment, whilst Saben’s release of their Vanitas collection gives you all the right reasons to go out and #treatyoself.

If you are armed and ready with your triple-shot coffee then read on and enjoy.
