Christmas is fast approaching, and it’s that magical time of year you actually get a little holiday, see some long-lost friends and family members and of course allow yourself a little indulgence.

Through the year Katie and I always lust over brands, toy in our minds over which designer handbag we are after or even our dream holiday destination. So we thought we’d put together our top 5 Christmas Wish-List, some may be practical and some may not be, but hopefully entertaining none the less, plus we don’t mind giving our friends and family a little hint!

Vanity Fair – Book and Magazine

This magazine, and the stunning book, are the epitome of style, sophistication, intelligence and brings icons to life and inspires me. They belong on my coffee table.

Napoleon Perdis Bronze Patrol

Available at The Beauty Spot, Lismore this is perfect for creating a sun-kissed glow without the danger from UV Rays. Napoleon is also an Australian entrepreneur who I admire immensely.

Spain

No, I don’t expect the country to be in my Christmas stocking, however tickets wouldn’t go astray. If this isn’t do-able I’d be happy with Italy, Paris or NYC; a girl can’t be too picky.

Bradley Cooper

Just when you thought he couldn’t be more perfect he speaks French. Oh la la.

A piece by my favourite jewellery designer, Australian Samantha Wills. Her designs are handcrafted, stylish, luxurious and have a subtle yet, unapologetic confidence that are a lust-have and must-have. Samantha Wills is definitely a business woman to watch.

frankie magazine subscription

I buy it every bi-month anyway, so I want to subscribe again this year. I’ve been reading the magazine for 6 years and have even had a letter published. Benjamin Law, one of their writers always manages to make me laugh out loud and every article is relevant, articulate and cute.

Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Arty Ring

I’ve been lusting over this baby since I saw it on my favourite blogger, Nicole Warne’s hand. I have almost bought it several times but now the turquoise is unavailable unless you want to pay $100-300 more for it! If anyone finds it for me, I’m a size 5, thanks.

iPad

Anyone who buys me this can save money on magazine subscriptions because I can get it all on iPad! I had the most amazing fashion experience using Vogue on iPad – images came to life and I was able to search for items right there and then! I love this tablet as much as I tried to resist it from the start… and while you’re on the Apple site I wouldn’t mind the iPhone 4s.

SLR Camera

I don’t know yet which brand I want but I need an SLR! I currently borrow to do my personal blog shoots and I would love to get my own and spend days on end photographing things I see and learning about photography as an art.

Mojito on the beach

It’s a strange wish, but somehow I know if I am having a mojito on the beach it means a few things: I am on holidays, I am relaxed and I am no doubt enjoying myself somewhere fabulous, and that’s all one can want for Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Mel

ps: Mel, I’ll take my mojito on the coast of Spain/Italy/in NYC with Bradley by my side, reading Vanity Fair, wearing SW and a little bronze patrol..Katie
