Christmas Style Countdown: 2 days to go!

Lulu Guinness Studded Lips Bag
It’s Christmas Eve Eve… how thrilling! Apparently this is set to be the busiest shopping day of the year, although I think tomorrow will probably be even more manic.

Every year you see gaggles of men- all with a look of sheer panic upon their faces trying frantically to get everything bought and wrapped in time for the big day.

Personally I’ve done all my shopping now, so here I am giving the last bit of advice to my loved ones as to what I’d like...

This Lulu Guinness Studded lips bag would just be the perfect stocking filler- thanks Santa!

Miu Miu Party Heels!
How gorgeous are these Miu Miu glitter heels?! And they actually come under my budget for party shoes too…

Ok, so they’re ridiculously over my budget for party shoes, but look how they sparkle!

With so few shopping days left, boyfriend if you’re reading this, I’d love these in my stocking this Christmas.

Jo Malone: Lime Basil & Mandarin Home Candle
For those of you stuck in the snow at this current moment, unable to move and maybe looking at ways to pass the time- may I suggest a touch of internet shopping?!

Seriously, it may have saved my life this Christmas. Not only have I provided plenty of hints to my loved ones as to what I'd like Santa to bring me, but I've also managed to get a fair amount for other people too.

I know, it's never much fun shopping for other people, but at least I don't feel as guilty spending it on someone else!

Today I'm thinking my cousin would very much appreciate the joys of Jo Malone. Another little discovery of mine earlier this year, let's just say I'm a wee bit hooked on their scented candles.

Lime Basil & Mandarin all the way me thinks...

Vivienne Westwood Chancery 5010 Bag
We are in single digits now boys and girls, which means it's time to start panic buying!

How very stressful-but if you need some time out to look at pretty things, you can't quite afford, then you have come to the right place.

Today I'm coveting this lovely Vivienne Westwood handbag. I know I'm being greedy, seeing as I asked for the orb necklace only the other day, but come on, how shiny is it?!

At £225, it's cheaper than most designer bags and will go with everything. Yes, I've convinced myself... now I just need to find somewhere in the next nine days that has it in stock.

Santa, I could use your help please!

Fearne Cotton for Very
How gorgeous is this vintage style tea dress?! My fave style icon, Fearne Cotton has come up trumps again with her own range for Very and this is most definitely a stand out.

I'd team it with tights complete with pumps for a casual look and over the knee socks with heels for the perfect evening look.

With tea dresses being so en-vogue at the moment, this is something I will definitely have to have.

In at £65, it's certainly affordable Santa!

Gossip Girl: Season Three
I'm back to thinking about me today and what I would most love from Santa this Christmas.

Funnily enough it's affordable, fashionable and I'm pretty much obsessed with it too... yep you guessed it, Season Three of Gossip Girl.

I wasn't all that crazy about the last series of GG, but it's still worth putting on my wish list to St. Nick.

Mulberry's Alexa: The Ultimate Christmas Gift!
My tree is up, tinsel has been lovingly placed in odd corners of my house and eating mince pies at elevenses is now thoroughly acceptable, which means Christmas is well and truly on its way- Yay!

Each day I'll be bringing you a bit of fashion lust in the form of my wish list for this Christmas.

Today it has to be something from my favourite handbag designer, the ever delectable Mulberry.

I'm torn between the sensible black Alexa and the purple leopard print Alexa; both are beautiful and both are strictly out of my reach this Christmas... sigh.

Still here's a pretty picture for me (and you) to drool over and if Santa does indeed get the hint, I'm leaning more towards the black ;)
