Denim of every description including biker jackets and workwear gilets
Roll-up boyfriend jeans
Olive khaki slim-fit chinos (at last – could these be THE ONES?)
Denim-on-denim layering
Mens cardigans
Stompy suede ankle boots (Pierre Hardy I think)
I’m off on a bloggers’ day trip to Paris on the Eurostar on Saturday. Where shall I go during my 3 hours shopping slot? I want to go to Colette but haven’t got further than that. I’m giving myself €100 to spend all day so I will mostly be window shopping but may stretch to the odd T-shirt, book or Hermes Constance bag cloud Post-it notes. 
What would you recommend for someone on a strict budget?
Dear Blogger
I wanted to introduce you to my label Glovedup Gloves.
Pioneering creator of fashion-forward fingerless gloves since 2001;
I started the business to put gloves back onto the fashion agenda.
8 years on, and a glance in the fashion mags,
or at all the fingerless mitts on the AW09/10 catwalks;
Alexander McQueen, Armani Privé, Chanel, Fendi, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton,
and you’d have to agree that either I saw into the future, or I helped make it happen.
Worn by Anna Piaggi, Dita Von Teese, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, La Roux, Madonna, Peaches (the original not Geldof)
Photographed by Mario Testino, Miles Aldridge, Solve Sundsbo, Steven Meisel, Peter Lindbergh
Styled by Arianne Phillips, Lucinda Chambers, Patti Wilson, Karl Templer
And featured in i-D, Harpers Bazaar, Numéro, Tatler , Vogue (UK, Italia, Nippon, Russia), W, among many others
I work alone; a mega-multi-tasker.
And I make most of the gloves myself.
I fact I do everything Glovedup myself;
the press, photography, website (www.Glovedup.com), and all the dull jobs too.
It’s a DIY endeavour and I do it for glove not money.
I sell exclusively online at www.Glovedup.com
Shipping gloves all over the world, not masses, indeed not really enough!
What an inspiration. Here are some of Laura Shepherd’s lovely gloves…

Lanvin’s mens wool poloshirts with grosgrain collar
Sacai’s girls’ underwear and mens utilitarian nylon and knitwear combos

Lanvin’s Little Black Velvet Dress – long sleeved with a wee train – heavenly!

Dashing Tweeds’ reflective capes
I didn’t dare take pictures having been told off for using a pen to write notes. “Sorry you can’t take notes,” “But I’m press,” “Ok, but you can’t use a pen, you’ll have to use a pencil,” “Why?” “For health and safety reasons.” Jeez!
