We’re loving classy laptop bags, gorgeously colourful scarves, and new skincare products this month.
Laptop bags can be ‘functional-looking’ but not the ones from bag brand Marshall Bergman. Created to look good on your arm, and strong enough to hold an 11-inch laptop or iPad, the Tahlia (£174.95) is the bag you have been waiting for. The versatile design means you can wear it as a shoulder bag, or as a clutch. Designed exclusively for Apple, the bags can be purchased from the Apple website.
Iconic bath and body brand Molton Brown launch their first-ever anti-aging skin and bodycare range in March. The no-nonsense range doesn’t make ludicrous promises, and instead honestly delivers on delicious smelling, clinically proven creams for the face and body. The eye-catching white and blue packaging looks great, but it’s the contents which will help return skin back to supple health following winter’s harsh winds. Visit the Molton Brown website for more information.
Nadja Soloveiva has been crowned as ‘one to watch’ by Elle magazine, and its no wonder why. Her Vassilisa silk scarves with designs of frogs, dogs and deers are a sight to behold. Their quirky nature lightens up a business suit, and perfectly ties in with the ladylike chic trend around at the moment. Buy direct from the Vassilisa site or from Couturelab. Prices start from £295.

From pregnancy to pre-school, the Baby Fairy can help. Get in touch by emailing Samantha for more information.

Yllume’s founder Hossay Momand suffered from debilitating acne for much of her youth and early twenties. Then she created a solution - skincare brand Yllume. If you’re after a brighter, clearer complexion, try the range’s Illuminating Complex Mask (£74) which smoothes, brightens and replenishes skin radiance. Available from Fenwick Bond Street and the Yllume website.
