The Best Team GB Buys

August 3, 2012

Diamond Jubilee

We’ve edited the best of a hugely patriotic bunch of limited edition products to support all things British. From classic beauty buys repackaged in British regalia, to newly designed wardrobe additions in red, white and blue.

Forget that Geri Halliwell dress because this summer emblazoned Union Jacks come in the most decadent of forms. We’ll be wrapping up on cool summer evenings in this super fine, handmade cashmere and silk blend scarf £175 from The Conran Shop, before whipping it up onto our walls as a rather decadent trompe l’oeil hanging. We rather love this natty Lulu Guinness London Souvenir Shop bag £325, complete with iconic black cab, underground tube map and miniature London landmarks. Patriotic and practical, this  Zatchels Union Jack Collection satchel £109  is a great way to fly the flag for Britain.

We’ll be adding a royal sparkle to our outfits with this Jewellery Personalised Gold Plated Crown Necklace £47 and the super kitsch Mint Tiara Ring from Tatty Devine £39.

Temporary expressions of patriotism are a beauty-must this summer. We’ll be attending all Olympic themed parties adorned in these matching lips and tips Union Jack designs, wearing Violent Lips transfers £10 on our mouths and Rimmel London Press On Nail Transfers £6.99 on our nails. If you don’t have any occasion to break out the bold red white and blue make up, slip this GB-inspired Chapstick £1.22 into your bag instead for some British beauty-on-the-go lip nourishing.

Ensure your home is suitably turned out by stocking the bathroom with this  Neal’s Yard Garden Mint & Bergamot Hand Wash and Hand Lotion from £11.65 and the kitchen with House of Holland‘s cheeky I’m So Excited Tea Towel, £25.
