The stiletto heel returns

Its definitely less ubiquitous than the clompy Prada and Miu Miu platform sandals that every other fashion editor is wearing in Milan, but after years on the sidelines the spindly sandal is making a stealth return.Lucy Yeoman, Net-A-Porters Editor-In-Chief wore her black Saint Laurent Jane sandals repeatedly, having discovered “they go with everything and add some old-school glamour to feet that still have some tan.”Vogues Sarah Harris wore her gold Jimmy Choos all around New York and Milan, insisting theyre “surprisingly comfortable.”Meanwhile her boss, Alexandra Shulman, Editor-In-Chief of British Vogue, trumped everyone by wearing a chic taupe pair that Gina made especially for her to wear to the magazines centenary dinner in May.Their name?Alexandra.The ones at the top are velvet and pleasingly chic and understated.Lovely with bare feet and jeans now, theyll work just as well with tights come the big chill.LA

The perfect smart winter coat

I"m a sucker for buying the first great winter coat I see (typically mid-August) then have it hidden in my wardrobe for 3 months until it"s actually cold enough to wear it.

When November does finally come around, I"ve already spied 4-5 other amazing coats and grown bored of my mid-August impulse purchase.

I"ve had my eye on this checked maxi H&M number for a few weeks now - it will smarten up a casual outfit and the classic print will see me through many winters to come, but I"m going to try and be smart this time and wait at least another month before purchasing...*adds to basket*KT

A pyjama shirt for day

Worn recently by the likes of Olivia Palermo and Sarah Harris, the daytime-pyjama trend is in full swing; but its a long established style, initially popularisedby Coco Chanel,when she wore hers to the beach in the 20s.For its sleek monochrome design, this River Islandpiped pyjama shirt has caught my eye.The simple piping will elongate the body, making sure you look smart (not like youre actually off to bed), and the loose fit means minimal fuss.Smart, chic and versatile, you can pair this shirt with anything.Why wouldnt you want to wear it to the office?EH

The affordable luxury ring

I"ve always beena fan of high-street jewelrythat is on trend,beautiful and affordable, but at the end of the day I"m always left disappointed when they fall to pieces, orworst of all - I end up with green fingers.So I"ve given up on the high-street brands for now and have finally found a brand that I can count on for affordable luxurious jewelry that will last.British jewelry brandMonica Vinader designs are simple, affordable and striking pieces made out of precious metals and real stones.My latest obsession is this new pink quartz ring, it"s perfect for everyday and looks great as an individual look or stacked with others.The best news of all?It"s only £85...CB

A frilly blouse that"s different to all the others

I can"t say I needanotherblouse/shirt hybrid involving ruffles in my wardrobe- my count of them is coming close to the number of Breton tops I own, which is a lot- so that probably defeats the object of this style being part of Zara"s new sustainable fashion collection.#Joinlife is supposed to encompass the building blocks of the ultimate timeless capsule wardrobe and indeed one could certainly get by on a diet of its perfect shirt dresses, trench coats, culottes and shirts.They say that any item of clothing falls into the sustainable category once you can safely say you"ll wear it at least 30 times, so that"s the challenge I"ll be setting myself with this one.BH
