There’s absolutely no doubt about it that the big day is drawing near – cue an afternoon spent dashing round the shops like a headless chicken, toddler in tow, as I realised that today was my only possible shopping day till the big man comes down the chimney.
(Sorry about the late feature, and all that, but at least there’ll be presents under the tree!)
My Christmas shopping’s done (albeit hastily), but here’s what would be on
my wish list
for the 25th, if anyone out there’s paying any attention by this stage…Or have I lost you all to a reality TV and mulled wine blur?
ruby & ed
ballerina slippers, £39Soft, snuggly and stylish, these ballerina slippers come in the prettiest berry shades, perfect for cosy Christmas evenings in. Plus they do a tiny pair, just right for my little mini me!
charlotte tilbury
Supermodel Body, £45Her make up line is sensational, so I’m hoping that her Supermodel Body cream will do what it says on the tin. After skipping the gym in favour of more screen time, let’s hope that Charlotte’s promise of a “slimmer shimmer” comes to fruition.
jimmy choo
Rebel cross body bag, £795I’m dreaming of a Jimmy Christmas, and this little number works for day or night. I’d chose the silver for maximum sparkle.
nails inc
nail polish in Porchester Square, £14My staple colour, and in need of a restock. This pale grey is endlessly flattering and goes with almost any outfit (including a wedding gown). I pray this stuff is never discontinued.
topshop
sequin christmas tree sweater, £46If you’re going to join the Christmas jumper madness, then why not do it in style? If you’re gong to join ’em, you may as well beat ’em. In sequins.
alex monroe
teeny tiny diamond ring, £265Fragile, different and contains diamonds. I’d love my digits to be adorned with this little number.
kurt geiger london
Bond heels in pink, £270Strong, sexy and in my very favourite colour. I’d never take them off.
ted baker
sequinned pencil skirt, £139Perfect for a glitzy night on the tiles with the girls, or dressed down for a dinner date with the other half. This skirt has drama and sass, but it’s got plenty of class too.
clarisonic
Aria in gold, £155I dream of the perfect complexion, and apparently this little gadget is going to deliver. A must for ladies getting aisle ready and apparently for the rest of us too. Sign me up.
