Happy Friday!

 

Now that summer is in full swing, many of us are looking forward to long evenings, al fresco dining and sunny holidays. And if you're a wine lover, a chilled glass of rosé is the perfect companion for warm-weather days. We've rounded up 15 of the best rosé wines, all chosen by an expert, to add to your shopping list. And if you're intrigued by the rise of celebrity-backed wines, we've got the lowdown on the stars you may not have realised are winemakers, including Graham Norton, Idris Elba and Elton John. Sticking with the theme of summer refreshments, we've also rated the best supermarket picnic foods, perfect for park outings or pairing with your favourite tipple.

 

If you have a summer holiday planned, (or are thinking about booking one),  we've been exploring a range of luggage options. This classic Longchamp tote bag comes highly recommended by our fashion expert and is spacious enough for your laptop, along with all the essentials for a weekend away. Meanwhile, Floyd's check-in suitcase is a stylish investment piece that's built to last and captures the effortless cool of 1970s California. Looking for something more budget-friendly? This M&S cabin suitcase has been thoroughly tested by our team and is currently available with 30% off.

 

If summer footwear is on your radar, our expert found that these £39 sandals exude quiet luxury while remaining exceptionally comfortable. For a more affordable option, these Rocket Dog flip-flops look great and cost less than £12. Meanwhile, whether you're a dedicated runner or simply looking to be more active, BrandAlley is offering up to 40% off selected Hoka trainers. And if exercising in warmer weather causes skin concerns, this £14 antimicrobial spray has helped keep our beauty expert's skin clear through heatwaves and gym sessions.

 

Whatever you're up to this weekend, whether it's action-packed or wonderfully relaxing, I hope you have a fantastic one. Scroll down for more deals, beauty buys, fashion finds and plenty of inspiration.
