“I love this Mowalola edition of Bratz dolls. It seems like the perfect collaboration and instant collectible. I love the floor-length yellow hair with the matching bag. I definitely want to get hold of one for my three-year-old, she’d love it and I would too!”
“My Prada fixation runs deep. All I want for Christmas is an early delivery of Spring/Summer 2023 so I can frame one of these printed part-paper dresses, with their torn-up hems, like a work of art. Look 47, the lily-of-the-valley one, is the absolute favourite.”

“For Christmas this year I want Tekla’s poplin sleepwear range – it’s comfortable, cosy, and versatile. Earlier this year I was given a set of Tekla’s pink striped bedsheets and I am officially converted, white sheets be gone! Whether it’s their surprising collaborations with Jacquemus, John Pawson or Stussy, or just their plain pyjamas, Tekla’s colourful, high quality Danish designs will brighten up your home (and boost your mood).”
“This Christmas, I am yearning for this stunning JW Anderson pigeon clutch. The 3D-printed creation – a tribute to the unsung rats of the sky – has been sold out for weeks, having been christened by many as the ultimate accessory of 2022. And who is surprised? It’s a multitasking marvel: a fully functioning bag, a refined ornament for the hearth, and a perfect summary of Anderson’s artful and playfully absurdist year in fashion.”
“I haven’t coveted a hair brush for quite some time but the No. 2 Essential Do-it-all brush from French brand La Bonne Bross has me feeling quite romantic – a bit Jane Austen, if you will – about brushing my hair again. Made by the last remaining French acetate manufacturer, its biodegradable acetate composed of cotton flowers and wood beads is hand-studded with Keratin-rich boar-bristle fibres that distribute sebum from roots to ends, lending lengths a lustrous shine. These nourishing properties combined with the range’s cool, candied colours and that twisted handle make a mundane grooming chore that little bit more beautiful.”
“I love a chunky trainer, and these ones from Dior are on my wishlist. Easy to wear with everything, and the dark colours mean they really will go with all of my wardrobe (the usual production uniform of black tees, black jeans, oh so adventurous). They would be a serious upgrade from my old faithfuls, which are falling apart at the seams!”
“You reach a point in your adult life when your wishlists become plagued by delightful crockery – at least that’s my experience anyway. These plates from Dolce & Gabbana, with their unashamedly camp leopard motif are sure to brighten up even the dullest of meals.”
