More often than not, I’m quite happy with my lot and never have any wild expectations about Christmas gifts. This year however, I had a little think about what I wouldn’t mind showing up beneath the Christmas tree this year.
Candle – Jo Malone. Diamond stud earrings –Vashi. Watch – Larsson & Jennings. Coat – M&S.
Bracelet – Notonthehighstreet. Faux suede overshirt – Zara. Lip/cheek pencil – Nudestix. Scarf – ASOS.
Boots – River Island. Perfume – Lancome. Engagement ring – Vashi
I don’t own any Jo Malone candles, and I need to rectify this – swiftly. Sweet Almond and Macaroon appears to be an ideal choice, for my first addition. Now diamonds are apparently a girl’s best friend and I’ve wanted a pair of diamond studs for the longest time, but haven’t got round to buying myself a pair. I really like their elegant simplicity and ability to go with any outfit.
I adore the colour and cut of the maroon M&S wool and cashmere coat. Makes a change form my usual black choices. Ever since Cassius was born, I’ve wanted a keepsake piece of jewellery to mark his arrival. I love the idea of his birth date in roman numerals on a simple gold bar bracelet. I’d prefer it in real gold (for longetivity) but this will do in the meantime until I find a nice gold bracelet to get engraved, in the same design.
That Zara faux suede overshirt is just too much. Saw it on a friend of mine, my eyes popped out of my head and I hounded her death for the details. Thanks, Amber!
Nudestix! I’ve wanted the shade Sin ever since swatching it at a press day over a year ago. It’s the most gorgeous pink and looks amazing on my skin tone. I just can’t justify spending that much on a pencil (hell naw!), so somebody else can buy it for me!
It’s safe to say that I’m bored with my Micheal kors watch, having had it for a number of years now. I’m in desperate need for some new wrist-candy. Here’s hoping Larsson and Jennings watches, aren’t the next ‘blogger thing’ in 2016. I’ve seen them on a few blogs already..*groans*
Those River Island boots.. I’ve just remembered that I already own a similar pair from Sam Edelman. Ooops!
Lancome’s La Vie Est Belle smells gorgeous and I went through the bottle I had so quickly. I keep meaning to repurchase it but never get round to it.
Every winter, I need a new scarf – the bigger, the better. It’s just the done thing. I’m liking this grey one from ASOS.
Oh and finally, that engagement ring. Oh no, not for me – although the cut and clarity is right up my street from Vashi. No doubt, a few of you may be hoping for that special four-word question in a few weeks. Casually leave your laptop/Ipad open on the page and keep your fingers crossed!
What’s on your Christmas wishlist?

I just got that same Larsson and Jennings watch as an upgrade for my old Michael Kors too! I too hope I don’t end up seeing it everywhere 🙁
