It's the last week of January, which means spring is just around the corner. So of course we're looking forward to a new season shopping spree!
Lenny Henry's girlfriend Lisa Makin got it spot on at last night's Radio Times covers party at Claridge's, layering up in a black coat with a delightful daisy jacquard print all over it.
It's an old season style from Topshop, but we can see why she is recycling it. A print coat is a wise investment - just think, you can put any plain ensemble beneath it and this will still make a serious statement. This one would be perfect for a wedding or a day at the races. You can wear all the bright dresses you want, but spring can still be pretty chilly!
Lisa's exact style is now sold out, but click (right) to browse Topshop's current coat collection. Or check out the blooming beautiful floral options we've found for you in the edit below.

Looking trendy as he made his entrance, Lenny kept it casual in a pair of indigo-coloured jeans a grey shirt and trendy peacoat.
Sporting some hipster facial hair and a pair of thick-trimmed glasses, the performer looked younger than his years.
That was surely enhanced by his relatively-recent weight loss, which has seen him shed the pounds in a bid to get healthier.
