Happy feet

Garage grub just got a whole lot smarter, with Shrimpy's diner at King's Cross Filling Station. Expect American-style burgers alongside calamari with black olive caviar, served up in the sparkling glass shell of a disused petrol station, from the people who brought us Bistroteque. 020-8880 6111, shrimpys.co.uk

Happy feet

Summer is not a good time for men's footwear. Thankfully, Clarks have come up with a snappy range of desert boots for boys and girls, including this corduroy Desert Jaguar. A splendid alternative to sandals and socks. £89, clarksoriginals.com

Primary colours

Add a splash of colour to your living room with a playful wooden perch from Ineke Hans' forthcoming Welland collection. If you fancy going all out, why not add the bench, stool, and table, too? From £189, scp.co.uk

Animal pleasures

We can't wait to get our paws on Kigu Exclusives, the new range of animal suits for big kids. Choose from a marmalade cat, purple dinosaur or red owl. Perfect for festivals – or skulking around the house. £44.99, kigu.co.uk

Slick cities

'White Linen Summer Box' from Luxe City Guides is the perfect gift for the discerning jetsetter. Pick five cities from around the world to create your perfect package, which they'll deliver – in a swish box-set – to your door. Up, up and away. £35, luxecityguides.com

Sight and sound

Prepare for this summer's Stone Roses reunion tour with a collection of 250 unseen snaps of the band, in a chunky new book by Dennis Morris. Published next month, This is the One is limited to a run of 1,000 copies, with a signed print by the renowned celebrity snapper. £295, whosaiditpublishing.co.uk
