Emma McCarthy guides you through what to buy this Christmas...
Get Prepped
Add some festive cheer to your arm this winter with a plaid tote bag from the king of prep, Tommy Hilfiger. Available at the newly opened Brompton Road store - Tommy's flagship in the UK, stocking men's women's and childrenswear - this cosy carrier is in very good company. (£120, uk.tommy.com)
Finger Fashion
Deborah Lippmann is New York's best kept beauty secret. By night she's an acclaimed jazz singer, by day a manicurist to the stars. Who better, then, to create a range of party polishes? Lippmann's newly launched collection, a 45-shade offering, features collaborations with the likes of model Lara Stone and fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez. Across the Universe, a concoction named after one of Lippman's favourite tunes, gets our vote too. (Prices from £14, houseoffraser.co.uk)
Trend Spot
Plain old jeans are, quite frankly, a little dull. At least so says Henry Holland, whose latest collaboration with fashion's fairy godmother, Lulu Kennedy, features this dotty denim style. Now in its third season, Lulu & Co, for which Kennedy merges ideas with Fashion East's esteemed alumni, is available at Liberty. Other collaborators include Jonathan Saunders and Michael van der Ham. (£175, liberty.co.uk)
