Today's Object of Desire is this brilliant shapely dress in 100% linen from Great Plains - and priced at a very recession-friendly £72. It has a great cut, and will work beautifully in the warm weather with a pair of flat sandals or espadrilles. It's a great holiday frock - for sightseeing or dressed up with jewellery and high-heeled sandals for evenings. And it can also take you to the office worn under a blazer, so it is versatile and practical as well as good to look at. And, for the faint-hearted, itis also available in khaki or navy.

Which makes today's Object of Desire, not just ravishingly desirable but also bang on trend, as well as ageless and timeless.

You could dress this coat up for a special occasion with sheer tights and high heels , but even better, you can dress it down, too. Style...

The Object of Desire for today is the answer to all your style prayers: the perfect summer off-duty bag, that will also work for poolside and sightseeing. The new season's version of the Iman bag from Anya Hindmarch at £350 is a gorgeously-styled and roomy straw-weave bag trimmed in silver leather, with a very on-trend bold, tassel trim. We love the low-key colour combo (and we certainly prefer it to the natural and black version) and the playful perfection of this bag... and we WANT it for our summer holidays and weekends. It is so pretty we may even save up (now there's a very out...

The spring collection from the Duchess of Cambridge's favourite shop, Reiss, includes some adorable frocks, including today's Object of Desire. We love the fabulous, silhouette-enhancing fitted shape, the jacquard spot, the V-neckline, the over-the-knee pencil skirt, the cap sleeve and the concealed back zip. In fact, we love everything about this understated little frock, including the price of £179. We also love the versatility of this dress: put it under a tailored jacket and you have a very professional looking work outfit; put it with some great jewellery and a pair of sky-high...

Today's Object of Desire - this stunning spring coat from Missoni M - again hits the season's colour trend, as well as being gorgeous, ultra-stylish and a tiny bit practical. The collarless coat in mandarin and magenta stripes tipped in black. with the double row of buttons also channels the 1960s trend, which remains huge for Spring 2012, too. As well as looking fabulous, the fabric contains 1% elastane so it keeps its shape. Work it with a classic shift dress and 1960s pumps. From Missoni's diffusion label, Missoni M, it is made in Italy and costs £623.   Shop the...
