Nothing says “destination ready” like a stylish, vibrant co‑ord in trending tones— perfect for both sun-soaked weekends and city strolls. Cap off the day with a serene Japanese‑inspired afternoon tea—whether it’s a matcha ceremony, yuzu-infused cakes, or delicate tea pairings—in celebration of Afternoon Tea Week. And for a bold refresh to your wellness routine, keep an eye on Camp Kerala’s immersive retreat offerings at Glastonbury, where you’ll shake up the ordinary. This is what we’re loving in this week’s Citizen Femme hotlist.
