• In winter I always pack a scarf or snood with me for the cold moments. I am currently coveting this light pink sheepskin snood by Dlux London
• A book helps me to switch off from all the lights and constant thinking. I am reading Shocking Life: The Autobiography of Elsa Schiaparelli, V& A Museum Shop.
• Perfume is a necessity and my current favourite is Burberry Body, at Selfridges.
• While the camera on my new Samsung is faultless, I do like to have the option of taking better quality photos when I see something interesting. The FujiFilm FinePix Z100 is not only so easy to use but compact too.
• Due to the amount of travelling I always pack earphones to make the journeys seem quicker. I love these Marc by Marc Jacobs earbuds, I have received so many compliments on them. Something I wouldn't think could happen with such a simple tech accessory.
• I am head over heels in adoration for Chanel's Rouge Allure, 93 Exaltee. It is a vibrant pink which lightens my skin tone and brings the all needed pop of colour to outfits.
• I cannot separate Vitamin Water from fashion events, wherever I go I am sure to find a fabulous supply of the flavoured water. Defence is my personal favourite, but there are many flavours to suit your needs.
• This season I am going back to basics and sketching the collections. I have chosen Smythson's luxurious Runway Notes as it is the most sumptuous notebook and too irresistible with the gold foil blocked cover.
• Along with my sketching pencils I rely on a quality pen that writes effortlessly. Mont Blanc, although pricey are the perfect stylish option.
• My nails are incredibly important to me as my hands are on display constantly during Fashion Week, whether writing or rifling through rails. I will be alternating shades by Ciate this season.
• A reliable foundation is one of the key products during fashion week. My beauty hero is hello flawless oxygen wow by Benefit.

• BUDGET The most important element is understanding your budget and what the money will buy. Sales Assistants may often convince you that the highest costing ring is the best, this is not always true.  
• BE PERCEPTIVE The options for engagement rings are endless. You have a lot of decisions to make - platinum or gold, delicate or bold . To make these choices easier research a little. Look at the jewellery your partner wears everyday and notice the styles. If there are more pieces in one style, choose that option. 
• INDEPENDENT JEWELER Always consider the independent jeweller, they are highly trained and will have the same experience as their well known competitor, most often they will have began their careers within these establishments. 
• TIME Take your time when choosing this ring, planning ahead is always best. On occasion you will be able to walk out with the perfect ring, but mostly this process takes a few weeks, especially if it is a custom design. If you want to propose at a certain occasion, be sure to plan early. 
• CHOOSE TOGETHER Think about taking your partner with you.  Yes the surprise is ruined, but with such an important piece in question, you will not only spend the money wisely, but you are guaranteed to find a true treasured possession!
