We Love: Happy Birthday Mr P

A first birthday is always a milestone occasion, and that of Mr Porter is no different. Instead of a cake with a comedy non-extinguishable candle, celebrate with a limited-edition pocket square.

From £40, mrporter.com/birthday

We're not sure about: Bedding Brooks

There's no doubt that plenty of adolescent boys would be eager to get Kelly Brook between the sheets – there must be a reason that Argos has chosen her to design a range of linen after all – though that term is being used loosely, we're talking poly-cotton blends.

We're buying: Grey is the colour

Grey Line, the younger sister of Hussein Chalayan's signature collection, was recently launched at London Fashion Week, accompanied by a spanking new e-commerce site from which it can be purchased.

From £40, chalayan.com

We can't wait for: Shades of summer

The Audit is aware of that proverbial swallow, but after a month of snow, rain and bone-chilling wind a bright spring day is enough to get the bunting out – or at least reach for a stylish pair of shades. A new collection by Alberta Ferretti for Cutler and Gross which debuted in Milan last week is just the ticket.

We're clicking on: Video nicey

One plus One, a short film from Giorgio Armani and the Oscar-nominated director of I Am Love, Luca Guadagnino, goes live today, showcasing the designer's latest collection around the historic architecture of the Lombardy region of Italy.
