Gift Inspiration & Styling a Drop Waist Knitted Dress

Happy start of the week ladies.

I don't know about you but this weekend it's suddenly dawned on me that it really is only a matter of weeks/days until Christmas & I need to start getting my act together as I always like to try & get everything completed (apart from the big food shop) by the end of November.  Why?  Well there's the small matter of my birthday at the beginning of December which I LOVE to enjoy (think little kid that can't sleep excited!) & secondly I love all things Christmas, so I like to be able to kick back & enjoy the festivities & celebrations.

So this weekend seeing as the old tootsies aren't quite up to a day round the shops wearing shoes I've been trawling the internet for some gift inspiration - hubby you can thank me later as I've made it easy for you - any of the below items will do nicely thank you ;-)

I've separated the ideas into gifts that cost up to £30, ones that are between £30 & £50, presents up to £100, ideas up to £200 & finally dream inspiration......well a girl can dream can't she & Santa I've been a good girl this year I promise ;-)

So here's what I'd love to unwrap come my birthday & under the tree Christmas morning - it doesn't necessarily have to cost a fortune but be a little bit of luxury that I might not ordinarily buy myself.  Be it a super soft faux fur hot water bottle, cashmere socks for chilling of a weekend to luxurious toiletries, a luxury notebook for thoughts & plans or of course a stunning leather handbags or jewellery.

Back to reality now & today I'm bringing my drop waist knitted Hush dress out to play & styling it with a military khaki jacket & some leopard print.  I just love this dress as it's so easy to wear & it's a great weight & knit too plus it's super comfy so win win!

So ladies do you see anything that you'd love to find under the tree this Christmas?    Or perhaps you've got your own wish list going - if so I'd love to hear what you're keeping your fingers & toes crossed for.

Have a great Monday.
