Our August Shopping Wishlist
These are the things blowing up our group chats! We’re in our biggest shopping era ever and can’t stop doomscrolling websites. Whether it’s adding to cart to check out on payday, impulse-buying instantly, or saving on our Pinterest boards, we’ve recently found ourselves obsessing over so many items.
Maybe it’s the marketing, maybe it’s the laid-back summer energy, or maybe it’s just that there are too many good things out right now but either way, we’ve made a Cake The Mag list.
Accessories
The APM Monaco Single Kaa Ear Cuff is jewellery with bite. Sleek, sculptural, and just the right amount of edge, it manages to balance classy and goth at the same time. It’s the type of piece that elevates even the most basic white-tee-and-jeans look.
What’s even better is how versatile it is. Wear it solo for a subtle statement or stack it with hoops and studs to lean into the maximalist vibe. Shop here.
The Coach Tabby in Dark Brown is our idea of timeless luxury done right. The structured silhouette is classic enough to last you years, but the deep brown hue makes it feel extra fresh for now.
We love that it sits in that perfect sweet spot between practical and chic. Big enough to hold your essentials, polished enough to take you from work meetings to dinners out. The kind of buy-now, love-forever piece that always earns its keep. Shop here.
We physically gasped. This is Jimmy Choo’s Cinch M bag in two-tone python-print leather. It riffs on the quirky charm of the Bon Bon with a soft, cinched silhouette. It’s as practical as it is pinch-me gorgeous.
It’s bold enough to upgrade your basic outfit, but still grounded in sleek fashion and the contrasts of print and silhouette mean it’ll keep working hard in your wardrobe for seasons to come. Shop here.
BEAUTY
We don’t even need to smell it to know this one’s going straight into our fragrance rotation. KAYALI has mastered the art of creating perfumes that feel like an accessory, and their new Oudgasm Chocolate Oud | 11 already has us hooked. It’s rich, it’s indulgent, and from the notes alone, we can tell it’s going to be the kind of scent that turns heads.
With caramel apple, spiced rum, velvet orris, incense, and dark cocoa wrapped around a chocolate oud base, this is luxury bottled with a wink. If there’s one fragrance we’re impatiently waiting to add to cart, it’s this one.
Fashion
The Kani top and bottom set from Wayve Luxury is a non-negotiable. We spotted Hiba Waleed wearing it on TikTok and immediately sprinted to the comments to track it down. There’s just something about the fit and the vibe that makes it impossible to scroll past. This is the kind of set that doesn’t just live in your closet, it becomes the go-to piece you plan entire nights around.
The set hugs the body in all the right places, and the pattern is surprisingly wearable no matter the season. It’s bold enough to stand out, but not so loud that you’ll feel like you can only wear it once. Shop here.
Also, the Dionysus set, which feels like summer distilled into fabric. The different green shades swirl into a trippy, hypnotic pattern that does wonders for highlighting your curves. It’s playful, flattering, and has that statement energy without being over the top. Trousers: shop here. Top: shop here.
The Frankie’s Bikinis animal print set is proof that leopard print isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It’s sexy without being loud, playful but still chic and the exact energy you want when lounging poolside or hitting the beach. The triangle cut keeps things classic, while the subtle print makes it feel elevated.
What makes it a standout is that it doesn’t feel costume-y or over the top and just reads as effortlessly stylish, like the kind of bikini you’ll still be reaching for years down the line. Pair it with oversized sunnies and a crisp white shirt and suddenly, you’re that girl. Shop here.
The & Other Stories Tapered Knit Cardigan is one of those deceptively simple pieces that instantly makes your wardrobe feel smarter. The slightly structured shape and soft knit fabric make it a layering dream, whether you’re styling it with a slinky mini skirt or throwing it over trousers for coffee meetings. Shop here.
Tech
The Nespresso Aeroccino 4 is a must-have for anyone who wants to romanticise their mornings. Frothy cappuccinos, iced creamy lattes, or hot silky flat whites, this little gadget makes it all happen in minutes. It’s compact, easy to use, and makes you feel like a barista in your own kitchen.
What we love most is that it turns your everyday coffee into a ritual. Suddenly, that quick caffeine fix becomes a moment of indulgence. We need this before autumn arrives. Shop here.
The Dyson Purifier Humidify+Cool is tech that actually changes the vibe of your whole space. Sleek and sculptural, it cools, humidifies, and removes pollutants from the air while looking like a piece of modern design furniture.
It’s especially perfect for our long Middle Eastern summers where AC alone isn’t enough. Clean, cool, and comfortable air makes all the difference, and Dyson manages to package it all in a way that feels as stylish as it is functional. Shop here.
