Looking for an inexpensive, but unique piece of jewellery to give as a gift this Christmas? Celliana has designed a one-of-a-kind bracelet that would create buzz for any individual who wears it. The bracelet is mixed metal spike and rectangle charm bracelet with a lobster clasp. Its neutral colours will go perfectly with any outfit!

CLOX, the shoe brand, has created one-of-a-kind stilettos. These heels are unique because they have clocks on them! The stiletto-clock concept was conceived by the idea of merging time and footsteps. Keeping track of time is a daily struggle for most women today. So now you can not only wear cute heels, but also use them as a tool to tell time while on-the-go. Now, no matter what you have planned during your hectic day, you can balance both time and space. These stilettos are evolutionary. The CLOX stiletto holds strong, yet with poise and class, tracks time perfectly to create an extra moment for yourself, in style. These stilettos would make the perfect gift for your mother, daughter, sister, girlfriend, or any other strong and busy lady you have in your life. No woman could ever have enough shoes in her wardrobe, so why not give her these amazing stilettos while giving her the gift of time as well- she’ll definitely love them! Visit their website for a full list of stockers.

They are made from the finest quality leather, having a well structured body, an adjustable shoulder strap, and silver buckle closures. The satchels come in different sizes as well.

Festive Fashion

Christmas always brings with it the age-old dilema of wanting to avoid frostbite without sacrificing in the style stakes. Bare legs are no longer appropriate attire, however slathered in self tan they are, and leaving the house without gloves often results in a rather unattractive blue tinge on one's hands. Thus, we've searched far and wide for some hidden gems that will keep you both feeling warm and looking hot!

For anyone wanting to cover up a pasty set of pins without opting for the middle-aged staple of 20 denier tights, help is at hand. Put an extra sparkle in your outfits this season with the Classic Crystal Hosiery Collection from Candy Baker.  The collection features subtle and sexy designs that are sure to catch some admiring glances and well-deserved compliments.  This unexpected touch to traditional hosiery is a glamorous and flattering way to accessorize anything from the classic LBD to an edgier party ensemble. The Back Seam: £33.

If you're looking for some sumptuous accessories, Aruna Seth is a well-respected name in the shoe world and her unique designs are characterised by Swarovski Crystals and impeccable trims.  No stranger to the red carpet, Aruna’s exquisite designs are the ultimate in evening wear elegance and come in a series of matching sets such as the red satin and butterfly.  With accessories these decadent and show-stopping, who needs a dress? Clutch Bag: £355.

You may recognize some of Baronessa’s designs from the pages of your favourite magazines and newspapers as the jewellery brand’s knack for affordable luxury has landed it in good favour with likes of Vogue.  Baronessa calls itself jewellery to fall in love with, and it’s girly and elegant designs might have you doing just that.  With its midrange prices, don’t be fooled- Baronessas pieces have a classic and timeless quality and they may just become the centrepieces of your jewellery collection. Gold Hammered Bracelet: £35.

And in keeping with the staying warm but stylish theme are these beautiful animal print cashmere scarves from www.black.co.uk. Etheral in appearance and featherlight in texture, these luxurious scarves are a fantastic alternative to a thick cable knit that, although warm, is hardly the ideal pairing with a LBD. Made from pure cashmere and gauze woven, a method that creates an ultra-light tactility, these are the ultimate in festive finery. Prices start at £125 and the scarves are available in four prints - peacock, giraffe, leopard and anaconda snake. They are also offering a 10% discount to readers of this blog just enter AMAZING10 on the check out.

Finally, for a one-stop shop for perfect presents is Lusso-London, which offers divine accessories and clothing sourced from around the world. Taking their name from the Italian for luxury, Lusso-London stocks a whole host of decadent gift ideas, whether treating yourself or buying for a loved one. We think these red and grey woolen gloves are perfect for winter, and adore their unique two-tone design. Also available in grey/purple and brown/green colour combinations, they make an ideal accesorry for a post-roast country walk. Woolen gloves: £40.

Wear 'springness'

I don’t know what you Brits are on about when you say you can feel that spring is just around the corner, for a Spaniard with the cold and the ever-threatening sky it is almost impossible to imagine! Although the other day, on an icy walk down Sloane Street, I stood in front of Missoni and believed for a moment that spring was about to knock on the door. The colourful prints made me wonder what I was doing in plain, dark clothes instead embracing pastels and patterns to lift my mood on the damp London streets. So today I wanted to share my spring feeling from the marvellous Missoni. You can welcome in the new season by wrapping yourself in this scarf or by donning this kaleidoscopic sleeveless pullover... just one tip pattern on pattern may be in style right now, but I recommend leaving it to the Missoni models!
