Banish biker boots this season, refute the glossies' demands that legs be dressed in khaki, forget shearling cover-ups, and embrace all things glam. Wholly feminine, this bandage dress will sculpt pre-existing curves, and build them in boyish figures. Layer on pink polish, slip on a studded black bangle and strut in crushed velvet platforms.

Bangle - Topshop £12.50
Snakeskin skull Clutch - Alexander McQueen £925

Military jackets adorned with epaulettes cascaded down the catwalks at Balmain and Alexander Wang. However, the new take on the trend is a far cry from the navy textiles and brass button combo of past seasons. Instead, jackets in khaki hues are ubiquitous - both on the high street and in designer collections. Team an army-green military blazer with denim cut-offs, tuck in an oversized cream shirt, add Military booties and sling on a plaited-strap satchel. Incorporate swallow studs as a nod to the navy, and revel in the fact that you are totally on-trend in your military garb.

Unarguably iconic, Mulberry bags find themselves lovingly wedged in the crook of many a fashionistas' arm season after season. Controversially, the Alexa just doesn't do it for me. Too 'it' to last more than a season, too slouchy to be considered a true classic, and to be honest, too much like your old school satchel. Now don't get me wrong, if someone offered to by me the Alexa, I wouldn't say no. I'd grab it with two hands, utter my Ps and Qs quick sharpish, and rush home to flog it on eBay. Because folks, the Bayswater is the bag for me.  

I've heard many dub the Bayswater 'boring,' 'too grown-up' and 'stuffy,' but you only have to reference the leopard print calf hair bag to refute these claims. I want.
