White is always a summer favourite - well, until you try to go anywhere and you realise just how grubby the UK is. But white does look gorgeous on a sunny day, especially against a pair of tanned legs or arms, and it’s great for lifting the spirits.

Browns Fashion have selected a gorgeous array of whites so you can choose what fits with your lifestyle. A brilliant white top may be best if you have to sit on mucky public transport each morning, and if head to toe white is just too much for you then break it up with an acid bright top or even a long neutral cardigan. And if you really can’t wear white clothes (that means anyone with children) then check out a fab pair of white shoes or a white bag (I appreciate that for anyone who got into fashion in the 1980s this opens up a whole new can of sartorial fashion worms).

So give white a go. You might have to lay off the Nutella when you wear it, and stick to white wine rather than red, and avoid any tomato-based sources, or curries with tumeric in them - but fashion has always demanded a few sacrifices… and at least if you can’t eat, you’ll be thin!

And if your heart sinks when you see another “White is back for summer!” article, fear not - as according to Browns, black is back for Autumn/Winter.

Visit Browns Fashion for a whole array of stunning white designer fashion, or see below for my favourites - from Christian Louboutin, Balenciaga, Dries van Noten, Fendi and Azzedine Alaia.

Heels are great - super sexy, glamorous, height-adding and with brilliant optical illusional properties if you have enormous feet like me (feet in high heels never look massive). Sadly many styles are also fabulously impractical if you have to actually walk anywhere (I have probably spent more being rescued by black cabs when sporting luscious heels than I have on the actual shoes themselves).

So what about flat shoes? <stops typing to pick up fainting designer-heel-loving friend off floor at first frightening mention of FLAT SHOES>

Okay, so flats may not be as full-on glamorous as a pair of embellished stillettos but they are perfect for running around the city, particularly in summer - without the grubby toe syndrome that sandals and flipflops cause, and ideal when the weather goes from sunshine to torrential rain in the blink of an eye. Oh, and they hide all those plaster-covered heels and toes caused by wearing those new designer summer sandals for the first time. They are also super-cute.

So if you are after some flat shoes here are some of my favourites from the range of designer ballet flats and designer loafers around this season. Or check out Matches Fashion’s fabulous designer shoe ranges here.

Just because it’s 2am and you’re waiting for a night bus doesn’t mean you can let your fashion guard down! And you don’t have to accept crippling post-party stiletto agony either.

These are the famous Lanvin travel ballerinas in pink or blue - perfect for getting home after a night out in heels, without losing any designer points. Or slip into them during your holiday flight (we all pray for an upgrade to Business Class but they’d certainly bring some style to the - whisper it - Economy cabin too). These Lanvin travel ballerinas be folded up and kept in their drawstring bag, then just pop them in your handbag or hand luggage. See the rest of the post, below, for pictures and more info.

I love cardigans. And I love Jess Cartner Morley in The Guardian, particularly as today she’s showing us on video how to wear cardigans (warning - it’s more complicated than you think), particuarly the Michelle Obama way (which means bright colours, belted).

If you thought cardigans were only for keeping out the chill on that post-pub walk home on a summer night, think again (that’s what boyfriends’ jackets are for, or a taxi).

So follow Jess’s advice with your cardigans and belt them, add some colour with them, stick a ruffled blouse underneath, and who knows, as well as looking on-trend and gorgeous you might also do a Michelle O and snaffle the next saviour of the world.

Once you’ve watched Jess’s masterclass why not browse the Matches knitwear section here to stock up on cardigans - from Theory, Yves Saint Laurent, Diane von Furstenberg, Chloe and more.

Knightsbridge and Bond Street can be scary. Those eye-watering prices! The skinny women, who don’t realise there’s a recession on! Now you can stay one step ahead of the dangers of Central London designer shopping… with this gorgeous camouflage handbag from Chloe, £1335 at Matches.

(I say gorgeous, and it is - though if it is camouflage presumably no one else can actually see it? Won’t they assume it’s a pot plant, or a small tree?)

Visit the Matches Fashion website to buy this Chloe camouflage shoulder bag or see below for more information and picture.
