Style and beauty fix: time to splurge

Treat yourself to some new riding boots... or at least a gorgeous shampoo

Kerestase bain Divalent shampoo
Lisa Armstrong

PENELOPE CHILVERS RIDING BOOTS, £414

Looking for an excuse to spend really quite a lot of money? Cease your search right here, with these classic riding boots, £414, from Penelope Chilvers. They go with everything, get better with wear and last for (just about) ever.

KERASTASE SHAMPOO, £14

You can look at this recommendation in two ways. Either £14 is an absurd amount to pay for a shampoo when you can buy washing-up liquid from Morrison's that will sort of do the job. Or you can see it as investment in a shampoo that really does deliver - balancing an oily scalp while nourishing and strengthening the ends, thereby saving money at the hairdresser's in the long run. For stockists, call 0800 3164400 or visit www.kerastase.co.uk
