For Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel, this season it is all about 'fantasy fur', the luxe faux furry likely Wink.

traceybath · 18/11/2010 20:55

Yes I saw that in vogue but I must confess to shamefully rather liking the real thing Blush

So wish an aged relative had left me a vintage mink jacket which would negate a lot of the ummm moral issues.

Bonsoir · 18/11/2010 20:55

Oh fur is more than acceptable - almost de rigueur Grin. I had a good browse in Le Bon Marché today - gorgeous things...

HalfTermHero · 18/11/2010 20:55

Tracey - to be fair though, the 'distressing scenarios' came up smelling of roses Smile

HalfTermHero · 18/11/2010 20:57

I am fake fur only. Don't like the real deal.

HalfTermHero · 18/11/2010 21:01

Strictltsauvignon, just looked on the link to the bag you like and it is a dead ringer for the now discontinued Mulberry Annie bag!

ilovemydogandMrObama · 18/11/2010 21:05

bottle of Caleche
day at spa

tulpe · 18/11/2010 21:07

TB I'll see you your naff faux cranberry candle and raise you a set of Nigella mixing bowls :o

The very next year Santa bought me a rather beautiful Tiffany diamond ring, a selection of Smythson Stationery, and a rose damask candle from Ormonde Jayne......funny that!

traceybath - my daughterless, nieceless MOL got a new fur coat (full length mink for the larger lady) two years ago...

CDMforever · 18/11/2010 21:22

Yes Dandy I too like the look of Babyliss Big Hair. Do you know if it works tho?!
Coco Chanel perfume is on my list. Have asked for this before from DH and got something completely different.

Maryqueenofchocs · 18/11/2010 21:37

Traceybath year before last I get a phonecall on xmas eve from DH, whilst he is stood in a shop, saying 'well I don't know what to get you, this is ridiculous, you are spoiling my christmas.'....then I received 4 bath blasters from Lush and a dressing gown.

Last year I had diamonds. He got the message.

PS - I have an airloom fur...it's beautiful, but I always feel I have to defend myself wearing it....along the lines of 'it was granny's....I know, real fur...she was terrible, but what can I do, I loved her.'

Half, its an 1/8th of the price of a mulberry though..look on the bright side, tis gorgeous..Wink

HalfTermHero · 18/11/2010 22:32

Oi! I'm not too old myself, lol. Google mulberry annie and images come up on the results page. Very similar and nice I agree.

some lovely dark brown riding boots in very soft leather.

Ummm...that's it really. Maybe a new lippy or some bath stuff.

Maryqueenofchocs · 19/11/2010 12:01

IWouldNot, I bought these a few weeks ago and they are very beautiful, much better irl.

for the first time in years I actually have a list (after last years disaster, I thought it best)
Thomas Sabo bracelet
Slanket
new watch
purple ipod headphones (so dp don't pinch them for work)

In all honesty will be lucky if I get the headphones and slanket as dp will most likely leave it till christmas eve Sad

IWouldNotCouldNotWithAGoat · 19/11/2010 13:07

ooh, love them Mary!

OllieWollieWoo · 19/11/2010 13:56

Tulpe - I'll see your Nigella mixing bowls and raise them with a hose pipe on a wheel and a box of horrible Christmas tree baubles - cos "they were next to the checkout". (DH kept stressing the importance of the hose pipe being on a wheel - like it made a difference Angry!)

I think my face said enough (MIL was there when I opened it so couldn't throw a full on strop even tho she thought it a wonderful pressie!) and he did bring me back a diamond necklace from a sailing trip later that Spring tho.

Think the hose pipe was some sort of karma at work tho - my old Saturday job was in Woolworths and we used to prey on men who came in at 3pm on Christmas Eve and sell them all sorts of tat! Apologies to all DW's who were on the receiving end!

Maryqueenofchocs · 21/11/2010 08:15

Iwouldnot they are super comfy too..........

OWW - sorry but am LOLing like a loon right now :o Am I correct in thinking your DH is dutch? If so am wondering if naff gifting is part of their characteristics as DH also nederlander! It has taken me the best part of 10 years to convince him to buy me a card for my birthday (another dutch tradition is not to buy cards for people you spend the day with)

Meglet · 21/11/2010 11:22

Hunter wellies
Rapid lash serum (I am fed up with mascara since Revlon discontinued their lash tint so I want to grow more lashes instead).
Dotty P's vouchers - I stock up in the sales.
