‘I found the perfect strawberries and cream perfume to wear for Wimbledon'

You can't have Wimbledon without strawberries and cream, and Juliette Has a Gun's Miami Shake perfume is the perfect scent to see you through summer's tennis season
When it comes to Wimbledon, strawberries and cream are as synonymous with the event as all-white outfits and tennis rackets, which is why I was thrilled when I found the perfect fragrance to pair with a courtside look. Juliette Has a Gun's Miami Shake perfume is a relatively new launch from the cult favourite brand, and its combination of strawberries, cream and vanilla make it an absolute essential for Wimbledon season.
As someone who's tried plenty of different perfumes over the years, I've become quite the die hard fan of Juliette Has a Gun's fragrances because of how long lasting and powerful they are. So I was even happier when I got my hands on the Miami Shake perfume, which had the perfect combination of sweet and fruity notes and was an instant go-to for summer.
One spritz of Miami Shake and I knew it was going to be the perfect pairing for Wimbledon events, with a light, sweet scent that lasted without being too sugary or overpowering. It has a musky finish and a creamy element to it which stopped it being too cloying and kept it grown up and sophisticated, whilst still being playful and light.
The exact notes are wild strawberry, whipped cream, vanilla and musk, which keep it simple and not too complex, making it an easy to wear scent that you could always layer with other perfumes if you wanted. You can pick it up in 7.5ml, 50ml and 100ml bottles, and currently Sephora's major beauty sale has slashed 15% off the price of each size.
The 100ml bottle is usually priced at £135 but is now available for £114.75, whilst the 50ml bottle is down from £100 to £85. If you want to try before you commit to a full size bottle, the 7.5ml travel size is now £21.25, down from £25.
You can also pick up the fragrance at Space NK. Also at Space NK you can pick up Phlur's Strawberry Letter perfume at £99 for a 50ml bottle, which is ideal for those who prefer a more fruity, less sweet scent. It opens with top notes of cassis leaves, strawberry gariguette and plum nectar. Heart notes of wild lily, red poppy and apple blossom add a touch of freshness, while tonka beans and amber make the base sensual and bold.
For a more affordable option, Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa '40 Perfume Mist is £24 for 90ml or £38 for a huge 240ml bottle. It combines fruity notes with vanilla and musk for a handbag-friendly scent that's easy to top up on the go.
However the Miami Shake scent has been getting plenty of rave reviews from shoppers, with one saying: 'Mother's Day I tried every perfume in the store literally and I absolutely fell in love with this one and I bought it for all of the mothers in my life and then I had to come back and get one for myself.'
Another wrote: 'Amazing scent! Everyone around is asking what I'm wearing. Love it a lot!'
However the scent seems to be polarising opinions from some shoppers, with one writing: 'I saw an add on Facebook for this and thought 'heck yeah, I love strawberry and vanilla, this will be an amazing scent!!' Purchased it online, and just received it today. I can't describe the scent, but it's not good. The longevity of the scent is why I have it two stars.'
Others couldn't get enough of it, however, saying: 'I fell in love…. I love it . It's sweet but not too much it's feminine, it's powerful.'

Jack Draper's Queen's hopes dashed by big-serving Jiri Lehecka

Jack Draper failed in his bid to be crowned the new British king of Queen's Club after a three-set defeat by Jiri Lehecka in the semi-final. Lehecka became the first Czech finalist since Ivan Lendl 35 years ago after a 6-4 4-6 7-5 victory. It was a tough loss for Draper on home soil with the British number one angrily smashing his racket and damaging a digital advertising hoarding as the match slipped away. But it has been a successful week for the 23-year-old, with his run to the last four earning him a top-four seeding at Wimbledon. 'It means a lot,' said Lehecka. 'You don't meet a player like Jack every day, he's an amazing competitor.' One poor service game at the start, punctuated by two aces and a double fault on break point, ultimately cost Draper the first set. He did not get a sniff on the Lehecka serve, with his fellow 23-year-old regularly sending down aces approaching 140mph. In the second Draper began making inroads, a stunning flicked backhand cross-court winner helping bring up his first break points. But Lehecka repelled all four to hold for 2-2, with Draper beginning to cut a frustrated figure on the baseline. With singer Jon Bon Jovi watching from the posh seats, the tension was briefly lifted with a blast of his biggest hit 'Livin' on a Prayer' at the change over. Draper re-emerged in a blaze of glory, an ace sealing a hold to love before a winner down the line levelled the match. Lehecka forced a break point at 4-4 but netted after a long, tense exchange and Draper survived. However, Lehecka was looking the stronger and, after a comfortable hold, snatched the break for 6-5 with a stunning backhand winner. Draper smashed his racket in anger, earning a code violation, before Lehecka finished the job to win in two hours and seven minutes, ensuring Britain's wait for a first Queen's winner since Andy Murray in 2016 goes on.

‘Very strange' – Nick Kyrgios lets slip who BBC have replaced him with for Wimbledon and immediately fires dig at him

NICK KYRGIOS has revealed that world No108 Christopher Eubanks will replace him on the BBC's Wimbledon coverage this year. Kyrgios, 30, worked for the Beeb during last year's Championships, providing a fresh voice and perspective alongside usual suspects John McEnroe and Tim Henman. 5 5 Despite generally going down well with viewers, Kyrgios has not been signed up by the BBC for this year's tournament. The Aussie is set to miss his third Wimbledon in a row, having struggled with persistent knee and wrist injuries. Kyrgios' last match at the All-England Club was the 2022 final, in which he lost to Novak Djokovic in four sets. Eubanks' best run at Wimbledon came in the following year, when he stunned the likes of Cameron Norrie and Stefanos Tsitsipas before losing in five sets to Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals. On not being selected by the Beeb this year, Kyrgios told The Guardian: "It's unfortunate but it's probably their loss more than mine. "I understand they've got Chris Eubanks but he hasn't beaten the greatest of all time multiple times. "When someone's beaten Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic and has incredible insights, it's very strange you wouldn't want that person adding knowledge to tennis fans." In addition to working for the BBC at Wimbledon, Kyrgios has also appeared on Tennis Channel's coverage of the sport in the United States. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 5 5 American Eubanks, meanwhile, has been juggling his playing career with plenty of punditry. The former world No29 has also worked on Tennis Channel, as well as ESPN and most recently TNT Sports during Roland Garros. Nick Kyrgios breaks silence on split with ex-girlfriend Costeen Hatzi as Wimbledon finalist reveals new look Kyrgios has not shut the door on working for the BBC again in future. The former Australian Open men's doubles champion said: "I'm sure our paths will cross again. I only ever want to add humour, some knowledge and some great atmosphere." Due to injuries, Kyrgios has played just six singles matches since October 2022. The crowd entertainer last played in Miami in March, losing to Karen Khachanov in the second round. Despite his uncertain status, having since pulled out of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, Kyrgios is determined to resume playing during the US hard court swing, culminating in a first appearance at Flushing Meadows in three years. He added: "Yes, for sure. I'm definitely playing the US swing and I'll take it one day at a time." 5

David and Victoria Beckham hurt by 'pointed Nicola and Brooklyn's 'pointed' move

The ongoing feud between David and Victoria Beckham and their son Brooklyn is escalating, as friends of the family have slammed Brooklyn's wife Nicola for hurting the family with her 'pointed' moves The ongoing feud between the Beckhams and their son Brooklyn is only escalating, with friends of David and Victoria's reportedly accusing Nicola Peltz of "deliberately" rubbing it in. Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola, 30, have distanced themselves from Victoria and David, following a series of snubs. Although their eldest son Brooklyn and his nepo-baby wife Nicola are keeping quiet on the situation, as are the Beckhams, the couple have been notably absent from a slew of family-centred events and social media posts – or lack thereof – have spoken volumes. The previously close-knit family has gone ahead with events, including David's 50th birthday celebrations and his long-awaited knighthood, but Brooklyn and Nicola have shunned it all by not turning up to events or acknowledging the special occasions on social media. ‌ Meanwhile, the pair have publicly praised Nicola's parents numerous times on social media. Back in April, the couple posted an Easter basket they received from her parents, with the pair issuing a 'thank-you' to them on Instagram – despite Brooklyn completely ignoring his mum on Mother's Day just weeks before. ‌ Father's Day also went without mention from Brooklyn, but Nicola gushed over her father, billionaire businessman and investor Nelson Peltz. According to a friend of the couple, it has been a particularly painful time for the Beckhams. Speaking to the Mail, a source said: "It all feels very pointed. Like Brooklyn and Nicola are deliberately trying to rub David and Victoria's noses in it." Elsewhere, a separate source recently claimed that the Beckhams' attempts to support their kids to stand on their own two feet has been taken as "tight" by the Peltzes. But, after Nicola's parents gifted her money to buy a £10.5 million mansion in Los Angeles, another source stated Victoria is concerned that her son is trapped. An insider said that the family were hoping his move to America wouldn't be "permanent", but their "house purchase quashes any last hopes". And with both Nicola and Brooklyn named on the house, he could find it difficult to up and move. A source told the Mirror: "This house has nothing to do with family dynamics. Both Nicola and Brooklyn's careers are based in Los Angeles, and Brooklyn spent part of his childhood there while his father played for LA Galaxy. ‌ "During that time, he attended school in LA for several years and built a life and friendships in the city. LA has always felt like home to him." But Victoria and David, who both come from working class backgrounds, have always put emphasis on the need for independence. The source added: "When it came to buying this house, of course they weren't just going to hand their son millions of pounds — what sort of message does that send?" ‌ However, a source close to Brooklyn has slammed the claims as "cruel and baseless". They claimed: "It's disappointing—and frankly absurd—that anyone would try to twist Nicola and Brooklyn's marriage, and this meaningful milestone of home ownership, into something toxic. "Their relationship is grounded in love, respect, and commitment. The suggestion that Brooklyn is 'trapped' isn't just false—it's a deliberately cruel and baseless narrative aimed at undermining a strong, loving marriage.'
