My Christmas wishlist- Fashion!
The beginning of December seems to me to be an appropriate time to start considering what I might like to find in my stocking at Christmas, or, as I prefer to call it, the-prelude-to-sales-mas. A plethora of seasonal goodies spring to mind: christmasy jumpers, winter boots, chunky cardigans, woolly scarves, cozy gloves- the list of warm winter garments goes on.However, as a penniless student, I must face the reality that it's very unlikely I will coming home from the boxing day sales with all of the above items in tow. To comfort myself, I've made a hypothetical list of all the items I'd very much like to own by 2013. If there is some sort of style Santa out there somewhere (in Paris or New York, I would imagine), I hope he hears my plea!
Without further ado, let's proceed with the list...
Admittedly, this isn't really a woolly scarf, but what it lacks in wool it makes up for in sheer gorgeousness. Of course, the same can be said for most scarves, if they bear the Louis Vuitton insignia! Louis Vuitton ranks highly in my list of up-market, designer fashion houses- largely due to the fact that Marc Jacobs is creative director there. The cost for this product of his genius: quite a lot (£495 to be precise). It comes in three other colours, but 'camel' is my favourite shade for this lezard print scarf.
There is nothing I would not do if it meant I could buy this £1,585, feather print, wool jacket (I don't even want to think how much the whole suit would cost, but it would be lovely to have the trousers too!). It would certainly make my prom a memorable evening! And anything that's done by Mcqueen is worth every penny (even the £120 feather brooch that goes with the suit!)
This really is the bag to travel with. Prada's men's section is often overlooked when considering men's designer brands- with no good reason! When travelling somewhere, it's always difficult to find a bag which says 'stylish', but is also actually distinguishable from other, not-so-stylish, regular travel bags; there's far to much dull grey and black in the bag world at the moment. But no-one's going to mistake you for just another boring tourist when you've got this beautiful, brushed calf leather briefcase with funky red bits on it (still not entirely sure what they actually are!), a bargain at £1,200 (NOT) from Prada.
Considering that my total costs have reached up into the thousands, I think now would be a modest point at which to end my (brief) wishlist. The scarf-jacket-bag combination is a little odd, I'll admit, but I didn't want style Santa to think I was being to greedy by going for a full outfit- then I might just end up with a sack of reindeer print winter socks from Matalan!
