Rosa Ring Mini Backpack, £29 | Lottie Laura Lace Blouse, £65 | Tulip Embroidered Skirt, £59
A refined rucksack is one of the most important bags to add to your collection, because it works for both practical and style concerns. Bringing a utilitarian twist to whatever you’re wearing, it also beats a mini bag on pretty much every functional count. Big enough to fit in a pair of trainers or a cheeky bottle of wine, a backpack is the perfect new season investment.
Nieve Print Midi Dress, £59
These in-between days call for a little more coverage than we’ve been used to. Step in the midi dress. Working beautifully with a bare ankle now, but also pairing seamlessly with cold season knee high boots as the mercury plunges, this dress will look great with a chunky sweater layered over the top for chiller days. Also: who says florals are just for summer?
Thalia Embroidered Jacket, £59
Yes, it’s a drag that you can’t just throw on your dress and sandals then walk out the door. But on the flip side, a statement jacket can pull together even the most casual of outfits and help you feel ready for anything from meetings to a date. This beautifully embroidered style keeps the memories of holidays to exotic destinations going strong even against the greyest skies — and if that’s not worth a payday treat, I’m not sure what is.
