1. Etat Libre D'Orange Jasmin et Cigarette EDP

“I love this chic, Parisian scent, which channels Marlene Dietrich and the spirit of a smoky jazz bar by blending musky tobacco with a fresh spritz of Jasmine.

It lingers in the air tantalisingly after you’ve moved away."

2. Alexander McQueen Crocodile Heart Shape Peep Toe Shoes

“These shoes would bring an amazing pop of colour (and a dose of pin-up-style flirtatiousness) to a black outfit.

Plus the heart peep toes are a detail to fall in love with.”

3. Erica Weiner Vintage Shoe Clips

“I’ve had my eye on these for a while now, especially the diamante buckles.

They’re great for changing the feel of a shoe (or updating an old pair) and make it really work with different looks."

4. Sonia Rykiel Trench Style Coat

"I love belted macs and I love Sonia Rykiel, so this is just a complete no-brainer.

The cut is exquisite; it hangs so beautifully at the back, in two wide pleats – very 1940s Brief Encounter."

5. Miu Miu Double Skinny Belt

“I wear a lot of dresses and am pathological about cinching them in at the waist - it's imperative for a great silhouette if you have an hourglass figure like mine.

This belt is an amazingly sexy colour and would work with a multitude of outfits, dressed up or down."

6. Robert Ryan Screen Print

“Rob Ryan has a dedicated fan club in the Easy Living office.

He opened a shop last year on Columbia Road and every Sunday that I go to the flower market and pass it, I yearn to buy something.”
