MONDAY
Calm down
Topshop’s covetable Boutique line gets its own store today. Housed above the flagship Topshop at Oxford Circus but with a separate front door, the space is designed to offer an oasis of calm while full-on Christmas shopping hysteria engulfs the floors below.
TUESDAY
That’s a wrap
Christmas has officially arrived at Boxpark, people! Visit Pimp My Tree’s Xmas Cabin for fancy firs or book in to a cracker-making or gift-wrapping masterclass courtesy of life skills academy Indytute. For more info, visit boxpark.co.uk.

WEDNESDAY
Brand Rocha
Design darling Simone Rocha has lent her ethereal Edwardian aesthetic to a denim collection for J Brand. But these aren’t your average jeans: expect oversized bombers, pinafore dresses and cropped trousers finished with cartloads of ruffles. (£430, selfridges.com)
THURSDAY
Do the hustle
Favoured cobbler of any Seventies star worth their sequins, Terry de Havilland has teamed up with House of Hackney on a range of Studio 54-esque platforms. Which way to the dance floor? (£355, houseofhackney.com)
FRIDAY
Christmas jumpers
Penning your list to Santa? Make sure one of the super-snuggly knits from new knitwear label Ally Bee is somewhere near the top. The cosy jumpers and sumptuous scarves are 100 per cent British “from fleece to finish”, crafted from Bluefaced Leicester wool and manufactured in a small factory on the Scottish borders. Just what our stockings need. (£279, ally-bee.com)
