While I (very often) satisfy my fashion victim itch and buy out the trend of the moment – I’m talking about all things fur covered baseball caps, mesh sweaters and the what-were-you-smoking-printed-tights – I’m sensible enough at least to know that those little experiments are destined for eBay, while the classics are for keeps.

See, exhibit one, the breton stripe sweater. This one is a slouchy fitting, charmingly textured ‘Sailor’ knit by Lilya – one of my favourite brands of the moment. Exhibit two, the Converse All Star, a design largely unchanged since the 1950’s. And why would they ever, ever change something that can’t be improved upon? Now you might not agree with me as to the status of the skin tight skinny jean as a classic, but for me this (satisfyingly shiny) coated skinny jean in Aussie Brand Toi et Moi’s signature cropped ‘Montrer’ is pretty much perfect.

(If you see the silhouette of a teddy bear in one of the windows behind me, you’re not crazy. There isn’t much visual information to go by, but I believe it’s Winnie the Pooh..)
