Under the Christmas tree

From top left to right:

Camel coat, Madewell, £176 . This perfectly tailored and plaid lined classic coat would get along famously with my wardrobe. The shortened sleeves add an adolescent and vulnerable edge which my arms are crying out for. 

Olympus om10, 35mm 1979, eBay. The classic SLR film camera takes dreamy pictures with glistening accents. 

  

Black Ecru Silk Top, Paul & Joe, £133. This feminine tuxedo style silk blouse with luxurious black accentuated shoulders is a delicate staple. But at a teeth chattering £133, I may make-shift my own to save some coppers. 

60’s shift dress, ASOS, £36. This knitted cotton dress features a contrast peter pan collar and fitted waist. It is so dainty- I would feel compelled to lounge on a cracked wooden bench in Black Park whilst wearing it with….errr-*rifles through drawers to seek brown knee-high socks*...these.

Mad Men DVD, Season one and two, THEHUT.com, £16.45.  It’s the best thing on the small screen at the moment and magazine’s can’t stop gossiping about this sixties-set drama. 

Philosykos Eau De Toilette, Diptyque, £45.00 (50ml). Because I want to smell like a fig.  The freshness of fig leaves, the green fruit, the slightly milky sap, and the white cedar gives it sunny depths.

Luella’s guide to English style, Amazon, £10. Fashion Messiah Luella Bartley celebrates quintessential English style and explains how to acquire it.

Sleeveless Lace Chiffon Dress, American Apparel, £45. Love the sheer effect, love the patterned lace top and love the chiffon skirt. The pastel lilac version would inject much needed vitality into my humdrum wardrobe. Please and thanks santa.  

Rings, Urban Outfitters, £12 each. For when one just isn’t enough. This Gothic cross ring and adjustable chain ring fits over two fingers for extra wow.
