Fur or feathers, leather or lace, suede or velvet, come & tell us what you're wearing as the festive season comes our way. What's on your Christmas wishlist and what are you saving for the sales?

From designer to downtown, all are very welcome for chats about fashion, frolics and whatever else tickles your fancy.

justa I have a maxi zip in orange (back when I was an Autumn) and I love it so much I kept it. Brilliant bag.

kitty as part if my autumn diagnosis I gave up black I hadn't worn it at all until a couple of weekends ago when I went out and raided my old going out clothes! I'd made it from about February (I think it was when I had my colours day :/) to now, pretty good going.

My mum wants a bobble hat for Christmas, but she wants faux fur which brand do you think is the nicest? My Amelia Jane one is real, but mum couldn't wear real fur...

dry that is exactly the sort of thing I would do :/

QueenCardi · 28/11/2015 08:40

Oh wow lib didn't realise you were going already. Have a fab time.
dry that's hilarious. I assume you told her? At least she knows the thought was there.
Cool pom Pom hats. I haven't really seen anyone in them but it's still so mild. I did see someone in a lovely red woollen hat the other day though which looked great.
betty ive done well on my resolutions. Mine were to buy no lipsticks or nail polishes but buy more shoes and dresses. No lipsticks and only 2 nail polishes (one was a replacement for a gloopy one) which is good. I have bought loads of shoes and ive bought about 4 dresses. I've got a pin board of all my purchases this year and it is rather frightening though how much I've bought Blush. Next year I will try to buy less.....

Karcheer · 28/11/2015 09:10

Dh and my mum are nagging me for my christmas list...so it got me thinking...

What would be on your ultimate christmas list?

I'll start us off :)

  1. Hermes avalon blanket.
Karcheer · 28/11/2015 09:24
  1. Smythson Jewellery box.
Longislandicetee · 28/11/2015 12:42

Afternoon! Quick question for anyone around. thinking of getting this chemise as one of dsis presents. What do you think? Also, we do all open our presents in front of each other. Is too BlushBlushBlush?

Also, do any of your dh's wear Tom Ford Noir?

Hope everyone is having a door Saturday. X

QueenCardi · 28/11/2015 13:28

That's lovely blingy. I wouldn't be embarrassed but then im not easily embarrassed by that kind of thing.
karcheer that's a ridiculous price for a jewellery box. I've asked for a stackers one.

QueenCardi · 28/11/2015 13:32

Sorry karcheer that sounded really rude Blush. You'd have to have lots of expensive bling to put in it as otherwise it would cost more than the bling.

My ultimate would be a chanel even though I'd be too scared to use it.

QueenCardi · 28/11/2015 13:35

How lush is this purple chanel

QueenCardi · 28/11/2015 13:40

Whilst we're choosing ultimate presents I'll have some diamonds too

HappyGirlNow · 28/11/2015 13:49

Love this Lanvin

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 28/11/2015 16:46

that Chanel is gorgeous queenC

I don't know what i'd put on an ultimate christmas list, i like getting surprises so even though i have an amazon wishlist, i don't expect other people to buy for me from it, it's more for my benefit to keep track of all the things i've seen that i like!

Karcheer · 28/11/2015 18:00

I hate surprises. So much so I've had a big strop today as he wanted to get me a surprise for my birthday bear in mind I found out my main present (which was the trip to NYC) totally by accident.
We've also argued because id decided what to get him and them today he's gone and got the exact same thing but a different make so now I can't get what I was going to get him.
Bah humbug!

FedupNagging · 28/11/2015 18:21

*Queen, my first thoughts were diamonds and vintage chanel too.

These earrings are perfect

Vintage chanel classic flap

The purple chanel bag is gorgeous.

Am sure I can think of more - great question Karcheer.

Blingy the chemise is lovely, am sure your dsis will be thrilled to receive it and unless everyone is expected to model their Christmas presents, I think you'll be safe Grin

Drywhitethanks · 28/11/2015 19:42

Im obviously having a breakdown.......

DH's birthday. Decided to make him a cake. Needed 250g ground almonds Nigella's clementine cake,highly recommend only had 150.
Went to supermarket to buy extra.
Weighed 100 out.
Mixed ingredients.
Put cake in oven.
Polished Domestic goddess tiara.
Then.......
Saw.........
Extra 100g ground almonds still in weighing scales Shock shit,shit,shit

But actually it was ok Shock after half a bottle of prosecco

On my ultimate Christmas list is a HOUSEKEEPER/CLEANER/BUTLER/PA........applicants welcome Grin

FedupNagging · 29/11/2015 09:01

Dry mmm, that cake sounds delish despite the omission Hope your dh had a good day.

I picked up a couple of nail varnishes yesterday

This gorgeous colour is my christmas polish
and this.

FedupNagging · 29/11/2015 09:01

I saw this bag - and thought of Amber and One

QueenCardi · 29/11/2015 09:09

Morning. Could I request that everyone whispers this morning. After goodness knows how much prosecco, harvey wallbangers and French Martinis, I'm feeling a little delicate. But I do have gorgeous raspberry coloured gel nails which should hopefully see me through the next two weeks of parties/nights out.
fedup love that purple/blue colour
dry you make me Smile
Right, time for links....

FedupNagging · 29/11/2015 09:10

Backpack for Queen

Karcheer this is your colour

Jumper for Sleep

This dress is gorgeous - Marsha and Shop would look stunning in it.

So cosy

Yes I know this is by VB but I really like it.

QueenCardi · 29/11/2015 09:13

for fedup

QueenCardi · 29/11/2015 09:15

for me and dry

QueenCardi · 29/11/2015 09:19

love this. dry maybe?

Longislandicetee · 29/11/2015 09:34

Morning! Thanks for the chemise love, I got it for her with some Tom Ford perfume. Christmas shopping officially started.....I have just done a £1200 Selfridges online shop. I am amazed dh's credit card radar hasn't set the sirens off.Grin (by the way the code for 20% off at Selfridges is SELFCCE)

Karcheer I keep meaning to say. New York is normally freezing cold in December because the winds coming off the Hudson are bracing and whip round the tall buildings. Most people abandon fashion in lieu of practical warm stuff. I try and mix the two. So for me this means....my JL cashmere beanie or Warehouse Pom Pom hat that covers my ears is a must, as is my John Lewis cashmere snood, and M&S cashmere lined leather gloves. Nice thick black JL Collection wool coat and RB knee high boots.

FedUp, love those earrings, I wear Tiffanys version of them every day.

Dry and QueenC, I love you both.Grin

QueenCardi · 29/11/2015 09:38
