TRIBE VIBE
It’s all about big, bold patterns this season, inspired by African prints and embroidery, and this dress from H&M hits all the right notes. Bag it now before it’s too late.
€55 , www.hm.com

Shop talk
John Rocha’s new three-floor store on London’s Dover Street (15a) is housed in an ex-pub, and has bags of character. It’s great for hunting down men’s, women’s and kids’ clothing, plus books, art and jewellery.

Hit parade
Websites we love
Sawako Furuno started this website for urban cyclists after feeling let down by the unattractive gear that went with it. This super girly helmet proves function and fashion aren’t exclusive, as it’s yours for €80. www.cyclefashion.co.uk

R etail splurge
WET LOOK
Yes, it’s still coat weather, but not for long. Invest in this chic black mac from Benetton and it’ll last you right through Spring. The classic style and shape ensures you can dig it out again next year, too.
