Dashing through the shops

I know it's a bit early, but Christmas is already on my little eggnog noggin. The Liberty Luella windows, the first sherry of Winter, the passing of bonfire night, the dwindling days of Strictly and X Factor... oh, I can almost taste the festive salmon blinis and Moet!! Christmas is just specialness personified. So here's my top ten wish list; I've given up on asking Santa for a pony. 18 years of heart rendering Dear Santa prose and not even a whiff of a hoof. Huff.

Diamonds Oh diamonds, truly a girls best friend!! I have a favourite jewelers in New Bond St (good luck future fiancee!) which do the most gorgeous diamonds. Slip one of their charcoal boxes under the tree and I would be over the moon! I love their pinkie rings, but this over the top engagement ring is divine. Pretty please?!

Barry M Glitter Nail Paint So maybe diamonds is a little ambitious; achieve all that glitters kudos with Barry M's fabulous nail paint. I'm currently wearing their nail paint in glitter cherry red; if Dorothy had clicked her fingers instead of her heels to get home, this would definitely have been her varnish of choice. The perfect little stocking filler.
Price:£2.89. Click for link.

Chanel J12 How could I not mention Chanel on my top ten? As my dearest Giselle knows, a Chanel beauty all wrapped up with monochrome ribbon is utterly magical! I think I'll be waiting a good eight months before I even get a glimmer of a chance of getting one of these, but a girl can dream.
Price: £3125 last time I checked, but the price was rising.... Click for link.

Blythe Doll Creepy, but I want one. I won't say any more. Because they are creepy.
Price:£100 approx. Click for link.

All Saints Embellished Forgotten Woods Tee Mmm I'm quite desperate for this one. I adore All Saints; well, I adore Vivienne Westwood and All Saints leeches a lot of her best ideas in terms of tailoring and palette. But I'm really loving crystals and the such at the moment, and this teeshirt just makes me want to do some kind of cult jig... just kidding......
Price:£85. Click for link.

Luella Windsor Dress Oh for a Luella party dress!! I love Luella, so cute, so girly, so eeeeeeeeeeesquiddle! This dress is gorgeous. I'm thinking thick knit tights, cute patent mary janes and a 2.55. Yes? Yes. And it's in the sale! *skips heart beat*
Price:£122.50. Click for link.

Bebaroque Babooshka hold ups OH hello hosiery. I have a real thing for tights, e.g aforementioned Chanel lookielikey lovelies. These are just divine. Bows and crystals and glitter oh my! I would love to nestle these in my tights drawer... is it sad I have a drawer entirely devoted to tights?! Knitted, red, seamed, cream, glittery, grey, leopard print, lacey... you name it, I've got them. I've even got a pair of tights that are SMOTHERED in pictures of cats. That little feline number often attracts crazy cat people to me and my boyfriend has threatened to dump me if I wear them too much in public; imagine that! Tights harnessing the power to ruin relationships! They don't come out too often....
Price:£70. Click for link.

Liz Earle Cleanse and PolishThis is definitely the snore of the list. But it's useful, like that umptenth pair of socks you get at Crimble! I swear by Liz Earle cleanse and polish. Especially now I live in London, having a product that can remove make-up and that nasty layer of city grime from my face is a must. It's kind on sensitive skin, doesn't smell too nasty and leaves your skin brighter and healthier!!
Price:£21.75 for 200ml and two muslin cloths. Click for link.

Alexander McQueen magpie print chiffon scarf Last year I received my first McQueen silk scarf; union jack skulls adorn it and God Save McQueen scrolls about the edges. But this scarf is utterly delish!! I love the print, as the houndstooth turns into magpies. It reminds me, in a good way, of Hitchcock's The Birds, as they spiraled into the distance. Am I permitted to be cheeky enough to say I think sometimes the chiffon McQueen scarves can be a bit cheap looking?! I usually prefer the silk ones, but I'd make an exception to have this one snaking about my nape.
Price:£225. Click for link.

A kiss under the mistletoe After a string of charlatans, I bagged my man over three and a half years ago. I've had a few kisses under the mistletoe, but never one on Christmas, which would be rather nice! I know it's cheesey but to spend Christmas day with him would be perfect!

Grand total: £20,252.14!!! Oh well, a girl can dream! And there really is no point reigning it in on a wish list. Santa baby, slip all of that under the tree, for me?!?
