Buy of the day

Friday Shopper, £10, by Loft Design By, available in store This stylish shopper is both practical and ethical: 50% of the price goes to the Earth Restoration Trust charity. Not only that, but when you buy the bag, you will also be given the opportunity to adopt a sapling to take home and nurture. Loft Design By have just opened their second boutique in London - addresses and a full list of their chic French boutiques can also be found here . Thursday Colour palette, £9.99, from W7, call 01753 639137 for stockists If you are fickle with your make-up and like to experiment with colours (or plan to recreate the national flag of every World Cup team on your eyelids) then here is your perfect purchase - 77 colours for £9.99. That's a mere 13p per shade, give or take the odd tenth of a penny. Wednesday Rainproof trenchcoat, £68.60, by Jackpot at fashion-conscience.com Ok, so I chose this yesterday when it was pouring and now it's sunny just to spite me. However, if there's one item of clothing you probably need for a British summer, it's something rainproof - so stay dry in style with this lovely polka dot trench coat from ethical fashion label Jackpot at fashion-conscience.com. It's currently on sale too. Tuesday 'Stroller' desk, £319, by Steuart Padwick at made.com Made.com are annoyed on our behalf, annoyed at all those high street retailers and designer brands who flog us furniture at massively inflated prices. So they've decided to cut the middleman, and offer beautiful, original design straight to the consumer - cutting the cost by some 50 - 80%. They are also democratic - this beautiful desk is the result of their first customer vote (you chose the piece you would like to see go into production). The piece is available to order now and costs £319 - instead of £1,495. There's also another version for £299. Lovely idea, even more lovely desk.
