Stylewatch: Her new uniform

If you’ve literally left the Mother’s Day present to the last minute, and you’re now facing a panic buy, ‘throw money at the problem’ solution, the following says: “Darling, I know you intimately; I know your uniform; I bought you one/some of your favourites”.

Uniform does not, btw, mean yet another striped top. It means pieces she already loves and will wear endlessly. Think of this as the anti-lingerie gift. The uniform, as seen on Victoria Smurfit, right, consists of all her weekend favourites. 1: The ultimate biker boots. Our preference is for Jimmy Choos, Brown Thomas. 2: A good biker jacket: we like this one, left, €390, Set, Arnotts. 3: Navy cashmere: Lucy Nagle has gorgeous cashmere hoodies, cardigans and sweaters in this shade.
