Each week, Team Stylist brings you a selection of chic buys from independent brands across interiors, jewellery, beauty and fashion. Scroll down to find your favourites.

Here at Stylist, we want to make shopping for independent brands easier. That’s why, every week, we bring you the latest fashion-forward offerings from established and rising indie brands in the form of The Drop by Stylist. It’s our marketplace where you can discover all the latest items from labels you’ll come to love and make exclusive savings along the way.

This week, Team Stylist brings you a range of products that will make you feel like the most zen, calm and put-together version of yourself. If you’re slowly losing the drive to stick to your new year’s fitness goals, treating yourself to some material motivation might be the best way to ensure your habits stick. Mustard Monday’s personalised yoga pouch fits in everything you need for a pilates class and seeing it packed and ready to go on your desk might be the thing to encourage you to get out of bed when you’re considering snoozing the alarm one more time. It’s also a great gift for any yogis in your life.

Some days, though, rolling over for an extra half an hour of shuteye is the only option. Fortunately, rushing to get ready has never been easier with Kim & Tonic’s ‘sigh’ slogan T-shirt, which doubles up as a way of telling your colleagues and/or flatmates that you’re having a low-energy (aka don’t speak to me before coffee) kind of day. But even when you’re feeling ropey, your skin can still look and feel fresh, with London Botanical Laboratories hyaluronic acid CBD set on sale for over £140 off.

If all else fails, we still think the best way to redeem what feels like a bad day waiting to happen (or an outfit that just isn’t working) is a pair of gold hoops. Alison Fern Jewellery has created a simple mixed-metal design that will brighten up any day or mood.

From fashion and interiors to beauty, there’s something for everyone in this week’s The Drop
