I've noticed a lot of
mannish slippers. How best to wear them?
Mannish slippers are indeed everywhere, which is a joy
because they're comfortable, stylish and easy to wear. We're not talking the
sort of slippers that are going to have anyone thinking you've just popped out
in your PJs to grab a pint of milk; these are cool and comfy, usually in suede or
velvet, and they add a little chic to almost any outfit, even just worn with a
pair of skinny jeans. My favourites are these exotic ones by Penelope Chilvers.

Whistles' bag personalisation
I dream of a (distant) future where everything I own is
monogrammed with my initials. Gloriously, I'm one step closer thanks to a
genius idea from Whistles. When purchasing its Delilah clutch (in pink or
black) from the new Dover Street store, you can have it customised with your
monogram (£95). I'd call that an initial success. 30 Dover Street, W1 (020 7629
