Summer travels looming and nothing to wear? Be inspired by these favourites from the wardrobes of Surrey’s top buyers and stylists

Basket case

It’s hard to make basket bags chic, but Rae Feather has aced it. We love the accessory designer’s super-cool personalised design

The joy of the jumpsuit

It’s been about five years since jumpsuits boinged back onto fashion’s radar. So why the hell should you invest?

Bags of style

Fancy some new spring arm candy? You can’t add Ryan Gosling to the online basket, but you can get your mitts on this brilliant tote that comes with a clutch and a purse too. Taking you from daytime to playtime.

Superluxe trainers

These supercool trainers by Rose Rankin are top of my wish list, practical for the school run and dog walks, but cool enough that I can throw on a blazer and still look pretty smart. Now… which ones to choose?

How to do London Fashion Week (if you’re not Anna Wintour)

London Fashion Week used to be a case of ‘if your name’s not down, you’re not coming in’ but these days the biannual round of fashion shows are a much more democratic affair. While you’re still unlikely to find yourself snuggled up front row next to the editor of French Vogue (wearing sunglasses indoors and a ‘whatever’ expression mandatory), there are plenty of other ways to get involved. With the AW17 collections being showcased in the capital from 17-21 February, Muddy’s Kerry Potter – a glossy mag journo escapee and veteran LFW attendee – has some ideas for soaking up the fashion vibes, even if your FROW ticket got (*cough*) lost in the post.
