A floaty floral dress? Hardly groundbreaking as a June hero piece. But although this crepe Maje dress nails a bunch of SS17 trends – green, voluminous, waist-cinching – it’s main attraction is that it’s totally effortless to wear. Modest enough for serious business meetings but striking enough to woo the fashion crowd, not to mention elegant enough for a wedding, it offers serious pay-per-wear for a couple of hundred quid, and it will make me feel like I’m skipping through fields even when I’m pounding the London streets. Talking of which, I haven’t taken these Jigsaw Olivia trainers off since last November, and I now own a pair in every colour (if someone tells you trainers are over, they’re insane). I’ll disguise my bucketload of tech, notebooks, spare nappies and other ‘edited essentials’ in a fun straw tote – a less ridiculous take on this season’s hand-held wicker basket craze. As soon as the warmer weather begins I order in some Murad Essential-C Day Moisture: non-greasy but nourishing, with a light citrus scent, a good dose of vitamins and SPF30, it’s still the best summer moisturiser on the market. To finish, I’ll be wearing Charlotte Tilbury’s matte Sienna lipstick – with everything, always, forever, amen.
