Ellenisia EDP, £60 for 50ml by Penhaligons
You can’t get much more British than Penhaligons (the founder William Penhaligon became perfumer to the royals in 1901) and this floral fragrance, which they claim is their ‘most extravagant’, is packed with the scent of petals and lingering vanilla.

Nail Polish in Not Room For The Blues, £9.95 by OPI
Blue is the nail colour to be seen in this season and it’s suitably quirky, too. Team with red lips and a ditzy floral dress.
OPI
How much did we love Luella's collection this season? Her winning fashion formula is always quintessentially British with a humorous twist and for s/s09 this meant floral fascinators and brooches adorned hair, while classic red lips were given a given a bold orange twist. This is the girl who would pair blue nails with red lips and carry a vanity case instead of a clutch – welcome to the wonderful world of the English Eccentric.
