I’m going on a girls’ trip to Rome in June and need a good outfit for dinner and cocktails…

I love this new shirt from Zara – it comes in both cream and navy. Style it with relaxed denim, white heels and a beaded bag like this one on Mango. Alternatively, you can’t go wrong with a simple dress that has a subtle point of difference for the evening. The textured fabric of this COS number makes it a real standout – plus, the lace detail on this By Malene Birger slip is stunning.

Do you know where I can find a casual and comfortable maternity outfit?

I would really recommend a co-ord like this set by WNU. I find them so comfortable and they’re so easy to mix and match. 

It’s proving difficult to find a good everyday bag that isn’t too big but still fits all the essentials – can you help?

Australian brand St Agni is now stocked on Selfridges. This is the perfect everyday bag; it fits a surprising amount and the lighter suede makes it so versatile.

Is there such a thing as a chic glasses case?

Antler has a new summer collection that includes this leather case. Not only is it chic, you can also attach it to your bag for ease. 

I’m building my bridal wardrobe – what’s caught your eye recently?

I recently discovered the brand Bhoem and this set is so pretty – perfect for a relaxed honeymoon look. The brand ILTA just launched this dress, which is mega. The Rixo bridal collection is also really strong; I love how delicate this dress is and it would work for so many occasions.  Finally, this Zara top is a lovely high-street buy and Róhe also has a stunning new bridal collection worth checking out.

It’s straw bag season and I’m firmly in the market but hoping not to spend too much – have you seen any good ones?

The high street is the best for straw bags. This black COS style looks so expensive, and I love the simplicity of the ARKET style – both totes would go with everything. If you want a shoulder bag, this Topshop one caught my eye and I already own this COS style; it’s so useful.

I need to restock my white t-shirts. I want good quality cotton if possible and nothing that breaks the bank…

I love COS. The quality of its t-shirts is great; I specifically like the clean-cut ones. I also really rate GAP for basics – make it your go-to if you’re after a slimmer fit. 

I'm on the hunt for some red kitten heels I can wear with jeans, skirts, shorts – anything summery. Do you have any tips?

The high street has some great options and I love the simplicity of a mule, like this Zara pair. For something strappier, both Mango and Massimo have some good pairs.

I’m going to a wedding in Sweden in June and am looking for a long dress – something cool, think Scandi chic – and have a budget of around €200.

I recently saw this Rotate dress – it’s so chic and perfect for a Scandi aesthetic because it feels very understated.
