The LFW Backpack

A luxury backpack is a must at London Fashion Week this season, and you will be hard pushed to find one better than this Whistles Portland edition – hot from the SS15 catwalk. In a versatile neutral tone with glossy silver hardwear, this practical backpack is spacious enough for all your show-hopping essentials, and will lend a contemporary edge to your LFW look. (Designed exclusively for London Fashion Week, it is available to purchase online here, and also in the two newest Whistles stores in Kings Cross St. Pancras and the Bullring in Birmingham.)

But it is what's inside that counts, right? Here is my wishlist of chic Fashion Week essentials. 

1. With rose-gold frames and mirror-shine lenses, these lightweight Linda Farrow sunglasses whisper understated luxury. They are £610.00 here.

2. A nourishing facial oil is a must for parched post-summer skin. Rodin's Olio Lusso is a cult product in fashion circles – the expert blend of 11 botanical oils will deliver a runway-worthy glow in no time. It is £97.00 at Net-a-Porter here.

3. My, my - what a stylish little camera you have. Launching in October, the new Olympus Pen E-Pl7 camera is designed with fashion folk in mind – it even has a 'selfie-mode'. It will retail for £499.00. 

4. Aptly called 'The Sophisticate', this Charlotte Tilbury eye palette of subtly smoky tones is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. It is £38.00 from Net-a-Porter here.

5.This Zakynthos nail polish by NARS is the perfect neutral - the sandy shade feels more modern than blush-toned nudes and was the colour of choice for the 3.1 Phillip Lim show in NYC. It is £15.00 here.

6. Last but not least, this Smythson Fashion Week notepad is the only way to jot down your front-row musings. Far chicer than an iPad, the Runway Notes' notebook is £65.00 here.

Get Personal: Noble MacMillan

1. Personalised Tiffany blue leather iPad case from £75 here
2. Patriotic Passenger leather travelcard holder from £17 here
3. Personalised leather Kindle holder from £49 here
4. The World is Your Oyster leather travelcard holder from £17 here

Things are getting rather personal at the moment, with a charming trend for personalisation sweeping the market, cropping up everywhere from Whistles (see my feature here) through to luxury London labels like Anya Hindmarch and high street brands including Oasis (a feature is to follow!)

And while it is undoubtedly rather special to carry around all your essentials in a decadent leather handbag emblazoned with your initials, sometimes it feels rather more savvy to spend on little leather tech cases and notepads, which are the latest lot to get the personalisation treatment.

While Smythson also offer this service, this comes at a luxury price, so for something every bit as special yet rather more accessible, check out Noble Macmillan's classic leather stationary which is now available at my beloved www.notonthehighstreet.com.

Handcrafted in the UK from the finest leather, Noble Macmillan products offer a little everyday luxury with an assortment of essential accessories with elegant silver and gold leaf lettering.

For a little treat, feast your eyes on these unique leather pieces offering everything from Tiffany blue iPad cases- my personal pick- through to sweet Oyster card holders which will make sure you never misplace that pesky travelcard ever again (fingers crossed!)

Whether you opt for a little uplifting quote or simply plump for your initials, these ultra soft leather pieces will add oodles of polish to your work attire.

I have spent far too long hunting for an ideal iPad case, and i've finally met my match. It's simple, clean and it says SW on it... What more could a girl want!

I cannot neglect to mention that Noble Macmillan products make for the most lovely little gifts for those who are particularly difficult to buy for. I don't think you can go far wrong with the truly beautiful notebook,  while the gorgeous photo albums are ideal for special occasions or wedding gifts.
