“I’ll be wearing my linen suit for as long as I can, and also styling the blazer separately as the finishing touch to countless other end-of-summer looks.”
“The perfect linen trousers for warm days at the office. When not wearing with the matching blazer, I’ll be styling them with a simple white tank top.”
“I treated myself to a new pair of designer shoes this year – they’re the smartest version of a Birkenstock you’ll ever get. Perfect for office days when I want to feel comfortable but still look polished.”
“I’m always wearing my Mini Vera hoops – they’re small enough to be everyday-appropriate and big enough to make a difference to my outfit.”
“After a break over summer, I’m meticulous about taking supplements throughout the winter, especially with the lack of vitamin D in the UK. This trio has everything I need. I keep them in my desk drawer and take them throughout the day.”
“I’m intrigued by Loewe’s new foldable Puzzle tote – it would make the chicest laptop bag.”
“Yep – I am still, and forever will be, a diary girl.”
“I’m constantly applying lip balm, and this minty fresh one from clean brand Ilia is my current favourite.”
“I’m obsessed with lighting a candle the moment I get into the office and I adore this fresh and stimulating scent.”
“I always have a couple of small metal baskets on my desk to store bits and bobs.”
“At this time of year, I find myself reaching for my pile of sweatshirts. When paired with smart enough bottoms, they make the perfect between-seasons tops.”
“A black satin dress is a readymade outfit. I can wear this one on its own now or add a blazer or jumper when it gets cooler.”

“It’ll be coat season before you know it, so I’ve pulled out my trench from its summer rest as my favourite between-seasons cover-up.”
“The quickest way to smarten up my look for a meeting is with our very own Pachino red lipstick, created in collaboration with Cosmetics à la Carte.”
“I am still one for thank-you cards, too. I love that Memo Press also does writing paper, for a slightly longer handwritten note.”
“I recently found out that I need reading glasses and, after much deliberation, I opted for this simple green pair.”
