The Dahlia’s a darling
…with celebrity models like Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Adriana Lima. Miu Miu’s hunting bag-inspired piece can be carried by a short chain handle, or slung over the shoulder with a long leather strap.

Back to college
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Reese Witherspoon can’t get enough of Saint Laurent’s quilted Monogram College flap bag. Here’s why: the classic style has a removable shoulder strap, so it doubles as an elegant top-handle.

Get Alexa’s look!
British style icon Alexa Chung’s collaboration with Marks & Spencer meant she got to delve into the high-street brand’s archives and curate her fave pieces – which then got updated in new fabrics and colours. You’ll be surprised at how trendy and relevant they are now: pleated skirts, double-breasted blazers, slip camisoles and little vintage-style dresses. From $69.90, and available exclusively at Marks & Spencer at Wheelock Place.

BLACK OR WHITE?
It’s hard to choose between Mauboussin’s latest ceramic rings, which are inspired by its famous ’80s design, called Nadia.
