Another addition to the Xmas wish list

I'd quite fancy an Yves Saint Laurent cocktail ring (the gold one with the tiny turqouise stones please). And only £115 for a bit of super-luxe-ness? Don't mind if I do...

Some reading for the holidays...

I'm in mourning today. For a book. It all ended rather abruptly on the Tube on my way to work, a surprise finish and that was it. I seriously urge you to read it - Muriel Barbery's "The Elegance of the Hedgehog". For anyone who has lived in Paris, or even dreamed of it, this book shall serve as a sweet reminder of the subtlety of the French humour. The philosophical musings and beautiful prose seem all the more fragrant when you learn that it is in fact a translation from the French version. There is something decidedly Audrey about the whole thing. And true to the title, elegant is the only word that can possibly sum it up.

"All I want for Christmas is..."

...a bottle of Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford. You can practically smell the expense wafting from the lid.

...the White Gold Ladies' Nautilus Patek Philippe, or failing that I suppose I could live with a Cartier Tank Francaise.

...a cashmere grey and black Burberry scarf. I get cold.

...a Vivienne Westwood brooch.

...a studded Pringle bag. In purple. With gold hardware.

...a grey faux fur coat.

...a Vespa. In mint green with cream highlights.

...a little furry animal that doesn't poo or need to be taken on walks.

...a shabby chic apartment in Paris.

...a Bahamian island.

If you can supply all or some of the above then please get in contact.
