It’s not new, but it’s a truly great buy. Being the perfect size, the Hampstead has become one of my most worn bags of all time, and I love the brick red that is such a classic winter colour.

During the summer denim gets somewhat overlooked for my beloved dresses, but I always come back to it around this time of year. Add a soft cashmere and ankle boots, et voila.

Part of a co-ord set (with the skirt, right), this sweater wins top marks for versatility. Whether worn with the matching skirt or with trousers, the batwing sleeves elevate any outfit.

This wool-cotton blend skirt stands alone as a savvy winter investment. Wear with knee-high boots in claret, olive or black for an easy, yet suitably formal look.

The oversized cut and thick, warm fabric makes this coat a winter favourite – and olive is a shade that flatters so many skin tones, yet stands out in a sea of black and grey.

Now I’ve grown my hair I love experimenting with accessories. This velvet scrunchie adds a touch of femininity to whatever I’m wearing, morning, noon and night.

My signature winter manicure is Chanel Rouge Noir. Nothing beats its rich, glossy and slightly vampy colour, and I’ve yet to find an outfit it doesn’t complement.

I’ve been wearing this light cashmere jumper non-stop, and it feels exactly like a comfort blanket when the weather turns. The ribbed finish adds that extra touch of luxury.

I would never part with these leather leggings – they’re one of my top five winter wardrobe essentials. Wear with boots, flats, trainers or sky-high heels, anything and everything goes.

Leopard print effortlessly adds interest to an otherwise sober winter outfit, and these boots do the job with aplomb. Jeans, dresses, skirts or tailored trousers all make the perfect foil.
