QUEEN OF ARTS

Designer Jan Constantine’s bold hand-embroidered textiles have proved a hit — we adore her Love, Peace and Union Jack cushions.

This season, taking inspiration from Alice In Wonderland, she’s created a Deck Of Cards collection.

Check out the new pieces, alongside her bunting, banners and china, at the Spirit of Summer Fair from May 13-16 at London’s Olympia.

Tickets from £6.50, spiritofsummerfair. co.uk. Jan’s designs are also available from John Lewis, johnlewis.com

TEE FOR TWO

The perfect tee is the bedrock of any summer wardrobe, and Gap has come up trumps this season.

Its new collection of soft T-shirts are a super flattering fit and made from a featherweight knit.

Available in 11 pretty colours — including faded pink rose, cast iron and blue iris — they are shrink-proof and colour-treated so will keep their shape and hue.

At only £10 each, you can pick up one in every colour (0800 427789).
