Jo Malone cologne miniatures
Britain’s favourite contemporary fragrance house, Jo Malone has surpassed itself with a host of unfaultable (is that a word?) gifty treats. I’ve just become addicted to the unisex Pomegranate Noir cologne which is sweet and spicy but not heavy and works beautifully as an all day fragrance. (more…)

What’s worth buying from the Versace X H&M collaboration?
Rather handily, the H&M press day had a couple of rails neatly arrayed with the Versace X H&M collection. I managed to inspect right up close with the Lumix and guess what? Some of the pieces aren’t half bad. I tend to sidestep high street clothes as I don’t really do fast fashion – I like things to last. So my high street shopping is mostly limited to Cos, American Apparel, Topshop, Whistles …and that’s about it. But there were some pretty good quality pieces on the Versace for H&M rail that I admit I didn’t expect to find for the price…
This leather studded dress is definitely worth £179.99 as the leather is super-soft and the seams properly aligned (the PR assured me this wasn’t just a lone perfect sample)
I was also mighty impressed with the studded biker jacket – at £179.99 it’s a great cut, the leather feels and looks luxe and it’s not too much of a one-season wonder
The other pieces that caught my eye for their better-than-expected quality…
Cropped bomber jacket
Men’s crocodile print jeans *paging Henry Holland*
Love the classic cut of this knit top – very Anna Wintour en vacances, no?
I think we all agree that a wardrobe of these suit carriers would be worth queuing for…
The collection goes on sale on Thursday and the rules for shopping are here. What will you be buying?
