As one of the few brands that discerning coffee enthusiasts approve of, Nespresso has placed convenience and superior coffee quality in the same sentence. The new Lattissima+ by Nespresso brings an innovative “one-touch” solution to making the best quality milk cap for a lungo, cappuccino or latte. It is the practicability and low maintenance of the Lattissima+ that makes it truly lovable, thanks to its intuitive regulation of milk cap volume and a simple cleaning button.
Picks of the day
Meet Justine S, the latest Jimmy Choo handbag in python and calf leather
The new Jimmy Choo Justine handbag, takes inspiration from 1970s cinematic icon Anouk Aimée, as it resembles her sultry glamour with its chic design and contrasting textures. The decidedly sporty handbag wears practical utilitarianism to call out spring and summer with its textured python in florescent hues. Each bag is made to reflect Jimmy Choo craftsmanship and the bag particularly draws attention to the distinctive slip-lock holding down the pocket with a touch of silver. Just like the temptress in the 1969 film Justine, the Jimmy Choo Justine S will compliment your summer wear, ever so glamorously.

Thanks to its 95-cm tall steel foot in black or white, the SÖ High champagne bucket made in shiny solid pewter is suitable for all occasions. What we love most about this classic piece is that it can also be transformed into a vase or a candle stand to cater to any soirée.
