It's around this time of year that my mind starts turning to dresses. I've spent the winter months in separates, and I'm ready for some quick, easy ‘one and done’ outfits I can invest in now and wear on repeat till September. When it comes to summer dresses, my favourite buys are the hard-working multi-tasking pieces that are just demure enough for the office with a blazer but also work alone with heels for a range of summer events I'll inevitably be attending straight from work.

From the perfect trench to the best black midi dress, here are my favourites with splurge and save options for both.

I love March. Not only do the clocks go forward, marking the beginning of those long light evenings, but it's my birthday month and Mother's Day, too. This year, all of these fall on the same weekend, so I'm particularly excited. I've rounded up a few of the things that are on my personal wish list this year, alongside the sort of thoughtful gifts every mother would appreciate receiving - aside from a lie-in, a mushy card and a bit of pampering, of course.
