Certain things in life just don't make sense if you think about them for too long. But this week, we've banned thinking in honour of August's imminent arrival. So go ahead and buy the slightly too expensive but brilliantly coloured Missoni bath sheet, and show your fellow loungers how poolside style is done.

We like to think of ourselves as a safety-first kind of page, so this tends to rule out rattling around on a motorcycle. If we did leather up though, we'd be looking for something like this to wear on top. From the Parisian label Unusual Rider set up in 2005, the design of this might be retro, but we're relieved to hear it's cutting-edge in the technology department.

This costume is not for the faint of heart. If you wear heels and crystal-encrusted shades while rolling about on top of a piano, probably in a wig, then it's a bit Lady Gaga. Otherwise this daringly bright option comes alive of an evening, worn with a denim shirt.

Margaret Howell gives good shirt. This one, from her more affordable MHL label, is part of the new autumn season. We love the splashy blue against the charcoal-black. We heart the dinky collars. Wear on holiday, sleeves rolled up. Come autumn, team with a slim dark suit - no tie.

Hardly. These ferocious biker-Chelsea boots/works of foot art by Christopher Kane for Versus (Versace's diffusion line) are one of the buzz pieces of next season. Exclusive to Harvey Nichols and available next month, 23 aspiring owners are already grappling in the theoretical queue.
