To break up the gift guide a bit, I decided to share my Christmas wishlist which has become a yearly tradition. I don't expect to get any of these things, but in an ideal, money is no object world this is what I'd love. Surprisingly there's some practical things in the mix and of course makeup. Here's what I'd love for Christmas this year...

Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Party Eyes: Charlotte Tilbury's products are always winners with me and I've wanted to try her new Legendary Lashes mascara for ages as well as her eye kohls. This little Christmas bauble is the best of both worlds really. 

Donna Hay Basics to Brilliance: Donna Hay is one of my favourite chefs and I love her simple recipes. Don't let the simplicity put you off. Her food is always delicious and packed with decadent flavour. I love how her latest book makes use of ingredients across multiple recipes so you have a range of dishes and treats to whip up. I'm always looking for new things to make too so this would be perfect going into the new year.

Zoe and Morgan Little Moon Studs: Zoe and Morgan create stunning jewelry and I often find myself admiring friend's pieces from their collection. These earrings would be perfect for channeling your inner Stevie Nicks or Florence Welch. They also give me Chanel costume jewelry vibes and those pieces are much more expensive. Don't be surprised if I end up buying these for myself at some point actually. 

Kikki K S Keyring: When I was in Australia I saw someone wearing one of these on a necklace chain and I stopped them in the street to ask where it was from. I'm not hugely fond of personalised stuff but I don't mind when it's initialed like this and it would be worn to death around my neck, or on my keys where it would usually belong. 

Too Faced Born This Way Concealer: There is never not a need for new concealer and after hearing good things about this one, it has crept its way to the top of my to-try list. I really like the foundation that was the first product in this line so I am sure I'd enjoy this too. 

Kate Spade Makeup Card Case: In the interest of not taking my ridiculously overstuffed wallet everywhere I have been on the lookout for a cardholder to carry the cards I need and maybe some cash around with me. Kate Spade's are naturally top of the wishlist because they are beautiful. As a makeup lover this one really appeals to me. I'm also eyeing up the initialed ones over on The Daily Edited too. 

-What's on your wishlist for Christmas?

As someone has just reminded me, next week it is December. I actually told them they were joking, proceeded to look at my calendar and momentarily freaked out. Not gonna lie, I haven't done quite as much Christmas shopping yet as I would have liked (thanks car bills, you legends xox) but anyway, I digress. Today I thought I'd make a lil' wishlist of what I'd love and will probably continue daydreaming about finding under the tree. Nobody would spend $140 on a book for me, let's be real but nonetheless it's fun making wishlists. Here's what I'd love this Christmas. Santa, take note...

Grace: Thirty Years of Fashion at Vogue-This book was out of print for a number of years but it's been re-released. I'm not sure if it's a limited print run but y'know the drill, when you want something bad enough, you chase it. Now the idea of spending $148 on a book does frighten me somewhat but this would be such an amazing gift. Grace Coddington is one of my favourite people in fashion and her editorials are nothing short of mesmerising. 

Meadowlark Dagger Solitaire Ring-I have quite a few pieces of Karen Walker jewelry now so it's time to broaden my NZ jewelry horizons, in my opinion. I've always lusted after Meadowlark rings but never bitten the bullet and purchased one. Maybe this can be my next special occasion buy. It's simple but detailed enough to keep me happy. 

Oh Gosh Cindy 'Leslie Knope' Print-Oh Gosh Cindy is easily one of my favourite stores on Etsy. Her prints are just beautiful. My love for Parks and Recreation+Amy Poehler is well documented around these parts now so the reason this print is here shouldn't require elaboration. 

GlamGlow Poutmud Fizzy Lip Exfoliating Treatment & Wet Lip Balm Duo-This product from GlamGlow is attracting me mainly because I am curious. It's a combination of a lip scrub and then a balm and sounds like the perfect thing for keeping your lips nice and nourished.

Florence Album Cover Faded Vest-This really isn't an essential but I do love these sorts of tops, especially in Summer with some denim cutoffs. Chicness goes out the window in Summer, let's be real. Also, it's Florence freaking Welch. No explanation needed..

Kate Spade Glitter Bug Stacy Wallet-My current wallet is actually broken and I'm kinda over buying cheap wallets that fall apart so I'm ready to invest in one that's built to last. Kate Spade is now available in a shop here in Auckland and I've been eyeing up her wallets for the longest time. Psst, Santa....

-What's on your Christmas wishlist this year?

Welcome back to Blogmas. It's Day 2 and we're all making lists, checking them twice and perhaps stashing them in key viewing locations. Today I've compiled a wishlist of what I'd love to find under my Christmas tree this year...

LK Bennett 'Rosie' Bag-Rosamund Pike aka current girlcrush #1 has a stunning line of handbags with British designers LK Bennett. They're all such classic bags but the 'Rosie' bag takes my fancy. It's the smaller sister of the Rosamund bag and I just love how it looks. Can I have one please?

Karen Walker Star Midi Ring-My favourite local jewelry designer has now started making midi rings. There's only a handful of designs available in this size for now and I just love the star one. The cat midi ring is adorable too.

Charlotte Tilbury 'The Dolce Vita' Palette-Another luxury find that's been on my little Charlotte Tilbury wishlist (it's a thing) is this eyeshadow quad. Obviously this would look beautiful on your dresser but from the videos and blog posts I have seen, it looks pretty spectacular on the lids too. That glitter looks perfect for the party season actually.

Crown and Glory Glitter Reindeer Antler Headband-I was introduced to Crown and Glory at Blogcademy last week, where we all received one of their headbands in our goodie bags. They're very glittery and just so sparkly and when I saw this set of reindeer antlers my heart skipped a beat. These would've been so awesome to have and wear when I made my Christmas gift guides earlier in the month. You could still grab these if you want to make a statement on Christmas Day.

The Art of Discovery-You've all heard about my love for Urban Outfitters. I could spend hours on their homeware section of the site. They've also got a pretty well-rounded selection of books to choose from too which is where I spotted this. It's a compilation of celebrity portraits and also their inspirations and I love books like this so on the wishlist it goes. Update: I have since ordered this to read from the library.

Cat Lady Chic-I've seen this book in a bookstore before and never really looked at it but it's essentially a coffee table book of celebrities with cats. Audrey Hepburn makes an appearance and also Lana Del Rey. If I didn't get the Choupette book for Christmas this would be next on the list.

Aesop Resurrection 'Rinse Free' Handwash-Aesop is another brand I have a bit of a wishlist for. The full-size of this is a little bit on the pricey size but I think this mini would be great to keep in the handbag or on the desk. 

Kate Spade Confetti Dot Case-A phone upgrade seems imminent in the New Year and this case from Kate Spade takes my fancy. I've had one of her cases before and they're such good quality. It helps that the designs are pretty top notch too.

*What's on your Christmas wishlist this year?

Tim Walker: Storyteller, Embellished Collar Top, Super Duper Sunglasses.

Dot Perfume, Grapefruit Travel Candle, Seasons Eatings Calendar.

Hello Kitty Tea Set, Chain Trim Purse, Leather Ballet Flats, Magic Wand Bubble Bar.

-So I've done a couple of gift guides already but I hadn't made my own wishlist as such. I think my Christmas Shopping is for the most part done, yay! I'm definitely going to try to get one of those Bubble Bars before Christmas is over though & the Topshop blouse & wallet. I will continue daydreaming about those perfect Chloe flats in the meantime...

*I hope you all have marvellous Mondays! This week is going to be rather busy with plenty happening which is going to be chaotic...but fun!
