Best foot forward

Sampled in a multitude of summer hues, these sandals from Catherine Parra are perfect for summer feet.

Philosophic Originals

I love the elegant palette of Philosophy Blues Original's SS12 collection. Collection favourites are their hot pink blazer and soft drape dress...

Tick Tock Technicolour

It's not just about colourful clothes next season – accessories in summer brights are also high on the style list, and watches in particular tell time in technicolour.

Sky high show

Not only is the recently opened Bella Sky Hotel the biggest hotel in the north, it's also the backdrop of CIFF's fashion fair and was this Saturday stage to Avia of Scandinavia fashion show. Avia is all about more is more, frills and flounces as well as more than your fair share of lace, so if luxe femme is your cup of tea, stay and put your feet up. In stark contrast to the show, the collection benefits from simple yet elegant styling combined with quality accessories, to allow each item to come into its own and place in its proper context.

On your (fashion) bike!

After more than a decade in Denmark, I have finally embraced my inner cyclist (wearing heels, natch) and have to get my hands on one of these – a bell speedometer. Get outta my way, Vikings!

Lovely Livly

I love discovering new brands, so this morning I was in my element when I stumbled upon Livly – a brand new Swedish childrenswear brand that will no doubt be a firm favourite of the yummy mummy club. The Stockholm-based brand offers a new take on classic, functional and styles, executed in deliciously soft cashmere-cotton mix and durable Pima cotton.

The People Watcher

I love Richard Haines' front row sketches...
