O.K. Christmas gifts don't get any dinkier than a set of Tiffany's playing cards. These arrived today at I Blog Fashion HQ with resulting squeals of delight. Am very much looking forward to some festive Go Fish with a wee dram of Baileys to hand. Yes - I'm an old lady at heart. Can't be helped, Lady Gaga already has dibs on that poker face.

Cutesy Christmas Gift
Mulberry Alexa Satchel
I'm still having palpitations over the new Mulberry satchel since its unveiling at the Brown Thomas SS10 preview. Cross-body and satchel styles are big news for the coming season; as is sunny yellow. It's kinda geeky yet gorgeous and impossibly chic - a bit how it must feel to be Alexa Chung. Sigh....
Mulberry Alexa satchel, Brown Thomas €800

Isabella Oliver on The Afternoon Show
Couldn't resist the opportunity to wear my new Isabella Oliver 365 lace top (€125) on The Afternoon Show this week. Love the sweatshirt type cuffs and nude under-tank. Makes it comfy and practical; not to mention uber chic with its matching pencil skirt (€125). My quest for Gallic nous is almost complete...
Fancy one? Orders over €65 incl. free express delivery. Ask Santa before December 21st or click here for details.

The Fashion Blogger's Xmas Party
It's been one of those weeks: an accumulation of speed wobbles that culminated in a full-on crash. Suffice to say the fender bender consisted of my digital camera committing suicide into a vat of mulled wine (before I even touched a drop). My phone camera - dead too. Long story. Anyhow, the preface of doom means I don't have any pics with which to illustrate The Fashion Bloggers' Xmas Party. Held at Indigo & Cloth / miniZine, the party consisted of oodles of booze, gingerbread men, mince pies and tres strong eggnog. The hooch was my concoction. Ain't much of a cook but by jingo I can brew a mean punch! Goody bags were kindly supplied by Hennessy with demi brandy bottles and a special draw for tickets to the Hennessy Gold Cup Best Dressed Lady Competition in Feb 2010. We sang along with George to Last Christmas, had a browse through some tempting threads and have penciled in some pitstop mini-drinks in the lead up to the yuletide. After all, it is Christmas.
