SADDLE UP

A ‘70s saddle bag

projects the pulled-

together confidence of

the season’s uptown

mood. Rather than

wearing over-the-

shoulder, wrap the strap

around your wrist and

hug the bag to your hip

• it will sit most prettily
  when it’s not interfering
  with a blazer lapel.

the laptop test? And for

those who would take a

personalised paper diary

(thank you, Smythson)

over an iCal entry any day,

space won’t be an issue.
