Last year I bought 5 jumpsuits and most of them have been great investment, meaning I wore them weekly each Season (except maybe a black one from Mango which I’ll put on Ebay when I’m back in London). For me, a great investment is based on the cost per wear ratio. Meaning, the cost of the item Vs the number of times I will wear the item.

This is how I justify to spend $$$$ on a pair of Dicker ankle boots by Isabel Marant, (which to be honest I wear day in day out during the Summer and have for the past 3 Summers)…and it’s why it’s also good to mix great designer pieces like this Winter coat by Marant, which you are likely to wear a few Winters and things from the high-street or more affordable online brands like Hush, ASOS, Boden or French Connection.

1/I’m just starting to search for a new jumpsuit and this one from Mango looks great for work followed by a night out. Incidentally, this month on Mango, if you buy two items you get 30% off and more…

2/ this gorgeous coat from Isabel Marant (check out her studio in Paris here)

3/ this set of black & white masking tapes because now that our home is coming together, it’s time to create new family mood boards around the house.

4/ This NEW Tropical print by Kerry Layton and the BONJOUR print (which is flying off the shelves!) to welcome our guests at home with a bit of Frenchness…

5/ and this black La Tropezienne bag by Clare Vivier. I had the tan version a few years back when we were stocking Clare Vivier in the shop and to these days, it’s still one of my favourite tote bags!
