Grace and Favour

This smocked Gucci silk-chiffon top proudly displays the Italian house’s signature floral motif that was originally created for Grace Kelly back in 1966. It’s a beautiful piece and something that will far outlive this season.

Short and Sweet

New York-based womenswear label Proenza Schouler has become known for combining cool-girl aesthetics with excellent craftsmanship and these cotton tweed shorts are a prime example. Formed around an elegant palette of navy, black and cream, they’re both clasic and contemporary, which affords you the flexibility of dressing them up, or down, as much as you like.

Heeling Power

This season you’ll want to put aside all your sharp and skinny stilettos. Instead, try to channel a look that conjures retro chunkiness. One of our firm favourites is the Kasai pump by Louis Vuitton, finished in patent calf leather.

In Stitches

This clutch is instantly recognisable as a Miu Miu bag, thanks to its matelassé quilting, which has become a house signature. Finished in a hue they named ‘soft blush’, it’s a real utility piece that can work with countless outfits.

Pure and Simple

Beautifully hand-cast by local artisans in Nairobi, this gold-plated ring is one of our favourite pieces from the global-minded label, Maiyet. We love how it’s not too pricey and that such a minimalist design will transition easily from day to night.

Just as every iteration of the S-Class defines that decade’s saloon, the Range Rover is the benchmark against which all other SUVs are compared. Its latest, the fourth generation model, has made life harder for its rivals, once again.
Ladies, when it comes to staying in style with your clothes and accessories this spring, think colour, attitude and - naturally - confidence.
