‍With brands sending free stuff to the microest of influencers, we decided it’s high time for a roundup series that includes exclusively products that have been purchased and loved outright by people you know, people you follow, and people you’ve  definitely heard of. Think of Receipts as a fun-things-only money diaries.

London-based fashion label Odd Muse has become synonymous with polished, timeless dressing. Aimee Smale has built the brand with a clear vision: “I wasn’t trying to create a trend-led fashion brand,” she tells me. “I wanted to create pieces that made women feel confident, elevated, and effortlessly put together.”

That same philosophy shapes how she shops for herself. Smale says she’s far more intentional with what she buys these days, gravitating toward products that feel luxurious, functional, and genuinely worth the investment. “I’d rather own a few things I truly love than lots of things that quickly lose their appeal,” she says. 

Below, the founder shares the beauty, bodycare, and home products she really, truly loves.

“I’m all about treatments that fit into a busy schedule, and this is one of the few beauty drops devices I’ve consistently used. It helps keep my skin looking brighter, calmer and more refreshed without needing to leave the house. I don’t think anyone is exempt from red light, it is not a trend! It’s helped with my rosacea, my overall complexion, texture and dark circles. I swear by it!”

Smale ends by telling us, “We’re entering an exciting new chapter for Odd Muse, with continued international growth, new retail experiences and a renewed focus on strengthening the foundations of the brand. My goal has never been to build the fastest-growing fashion company, but to build one that lasts. That’s the mindset guiding everything we’re doing next.”
