Swanky Safari.

'Practical' sandals, baggy vest, stone chinos and tribal decor can only mean one thing; a bloody fabulous safari ensemble. Not that you have to be on safari to wear it, the Savannah and wildlife would merely be the ideal accessory. I have tried these sandals on a grand total of three times, but they look like a shoe and not a sandal once on - an arguably overcritical detail I have tried to see past but simply can't. A victim of my own fastidious fashion if you like. Nevertheless wear the following this Summer if effortless style is you forte.

Cotton-Voile Tank, £60, Chinti and Parker. Tribal Spike Three-Finger Sterling Silver Ring, £535, Pamela Love. Repeat That Tan Sandals, £55, Office. Stone Chino Shorts, £30, Multi Woven Leather Plaited Belt, £26, both Topshop.

Too Cuff To Bluff.

I'm liking cuffs at the moment. In particular, cuffs on shoes. I think they're an easy way of turning a relatively boring or simple outfit into something more exciting. I would wear them with ankle skimming jeans, cropped chino-esque trousers or a pencil or leather skirt. But nothing that comes within a few inches of the cuff in question. Below are a few pairs which have tickled my fancy.

Wham Bam Wedge, £95, Office

Feline Suede Pumps, £505, Fendi

Mitzi, £129, Reiss
