A Saturday night dinner at my sister's house featured a delicious Mallorcan feast (courtesy of a chef friend in town from the Spanish isle) and great fashion inspo, provided by a television producer pal, who turned up in a classically chic striped top, wide leg trousers and a Burberry trench. The striped staple, above, featuring an anything-but-basic zippered neckline, captures her distinctly cool style perfectly.
