RING OF FIRE

Jewellery company As Above does

goth-via-Y2K-inspired rings that are

simple and subtle. I’ve been called

“weird” all my life, so this is a nice way

to reclaim it. £35; asaboveuk.com

MONEY MATTERS

This slim-fit wallet holds all your cards and looks very

“The name’s Bond”, but not in a cheesy way. Also my wife

is from Edinburgh, so I love that it’s named after the city’s

main drag, Princes Street. £115; strathberry.com

SWANKY SCENTS

I’ve been desperate to quash

my Lynx Africa habit, so am

very happy to have found

this fragrance from Roja

Parfums. It smells just like a

posh holiday. Apex, £265 for

100ml; harrods.com

PLEATHER PANTAGE

Come on — make the obvious

Ross from Friends gag. But

after years of making fun of this

look myself, last year I bought

these vegan leather trousers,

which I now love. Bonus:

they’re also rain-repellent.

£365; nanushka.com

BRING THE OUTSIDE IN

Yes, OK, I may have historically

killed every houseplant I’ve had

but recently I’ve become a bit

better. We had a devil’s ivy

when I was growing up, so I’m

definitely going to take more care

now. Devil’s ivy, £50; made.com

SHARPEN UP

I’m back in the

office and need a

way to wear the

many band

T-shirts I’ve picked

up over the past

two years. The

answer? Under a

blazer! This one

from Uniqlo’s new

Theory range is

spot-on. £69;

uniqlo.com
