Forward Planning thanks to V&A

I'm loathed to think about it but Christmas is coming. Don't worry there'll be no baubles and sleigh bell jingles on this blog, however I'm going to try and get all my present shopping done each month so I don't do my lastminute.com dash to Fortnum and Mason followed by Harvey Nicks. I think everyone might be getting sick of my Christmas hampers offerings of food, drink and skin care. Mind you the chilli popcorn I found in Fortnums was a winner.

Most of my buying will be on-line so I'm starting with the V&A. It has a great on-line shop. Lots of cute items mixed with some expensive numbers I'm ignoring.

Mind you I'm already compiling my own Christmas letter to Santa - see below!

  4. I must admit, I've started thinking about present ideas already (I love making lists!). My friend got me a lovely brooch from V&A for my birthday last year, I'll have to take a look at the site for pressie ideas.

  5. OK, do you have to mention the C word? Or is the X word? Either way, can't handle it.

  6. Now I love the first one, but I don't think its a fascinator, I think its a headband with pretensions. Your list is shaping up nicely though.

  12. Dear Kate, I've just started thinking about Christmas too! I always but things every month, I hate the mad rush. I love to enjoy it.

    OMG I adore that turban headband!!! I keep buying turbans online but they're never great quality and always get saved for taking make up off. Since seeing the JPG show I've been looking for something like this. I get paid a little bit this week so I'm going to treat myself. Thank you! xx
