10 Things a British Girls Needs in 2010

1. Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream
Not only is this the best lip gloss and moisturiser, but it’s also amazing for sunburn emergencies
2. A herb garden
The environment has never been so fashionable, but if grown in a beautiful pot herbs serve as a chic kitchen accessory
3. Miu Miu satin platform sandals [1]
Daisy and swallow prints that have the tongue-in-cheek attitude necessary to survive the cold months before spring finally arrives. Until then, wear with pretty pastel socks
4. Fannie Schiavoni chainmail
Choose between the draped dress, a bustier, a glove or bespoke shoe embellishments. My designer of the moment
5. An eccentric hobby
Stamp collecting, knitting and vintage cars are all good options. It gives you that ‘je ne sais quoi’ necessary to get ahead in 2010
6. Open toe heeled boots
For months you have tried to resist the impracticality of peep toe boots, but these pairs by Alexander Wang [2] and Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy [3] are too good to miss
7. Gold, glitter and crystals
Try a Prada crystal dress [4], or pile on the jewellery as seen at Lanvin [5], accessorise your pastels with a crystal belt, or go the whole way with Burberry Prorsum’s jewel encrusted coat [6]. It’s a more feminine interpretation of AW09s power sequins.
8. ‘Tomato’ red lipstick
The shade of the season, done best at MAC or Chanel
9. An Army jacket
Whether it be oversized and dressed-down, as seen at Alexander Wang [7], Aquascutum and Chloe, or chic and tailored, as seen by Loewe [8], Marc Jacobs and Oscar de la Renta, or shouldered and sequinned by Balmain [9], it’s the jacket of 2010
10. A Best friend who tells you how amazing you look good even on a bad day
An essential and invaluable asset
