Back to the future
A nod to all things Nineties is popping up at Browns Focus, as the boutique is highlighting the best and brightest of its exclusive new-season buys. Expect neon beanies, slogan jumpers and bold accessories. Until end of March, 38-39 South Molton Street, London W1. brownsfashion.com

The Audit is all for a bit of mint choc chip, but putting it on our mouth with the new chocolate-flavour lip balms from Palmer's rather than in it seems a sadly misguided way to indulge our sweet tooth. boots.com

Briefcase encounters
Christopher Shannon may finally have started designing womenswear for autumn, but for those who just can't wait, it's fair to say that his bright satchel-cum-backpacks for the Cambridge Satchel Company are ripe for reappropriation by the fairer sex. From £285, selfridges.co.uk
We can't wait for...
H&M's new digs
Having proved itself to be very fashion-forward over the past few years, H&M is giving its Oxford Circus flagship store a swishy makeover to match, and the brand has planned four days of music and fashion events to mark the occasion. From 14 March, hm.com
We're saving up for...
Sublime silks
Now fashion collaborations are a regular occurrence, links vary between the inexplicable, tenuous and sublime. A scarf project from Hermès and Comme des Garçons falls into the last category by marrying Rei Kawakubo's anarchism with French heritage. £330 –£1,500, shop.doverstreetmarket.com
