The Christmas List of Luxury Gifts
It is mid November but it is just a little more than a month before Christmas, so it is better to plan your gift list. Let's start with luxury gift, given that sometimes they are bespoke so they need to be ordered well in advance. I've picked few things that I would be happy to receive.
*In Store* This is a fantastic pair of earrings, all hand made in Italy and available at Amedeo online shop or if you like to see at more options go and visit the beautiful shop Faraone Mennella at 28 Lowndes Street London SW1X 9HX. This pair of Muse earrings are made of sterling silver rose gold plated with a pink tourmaline and aqua rock crystal drops encircled with tzavorites and sapphires and two gorgeous blue agate cameos. It will be one of those heirloom pieces to cherish forever. www.amedeo.shop

*In Store* Books are one of my greats passion among handbags and food. I've seen this first edition of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" signed by J.K.Rowling with a dedication at Peter Harrington shop at 43 Dover Street Mayfair London W1S 4FF. There are so many books and for all the budgets that you will find something perfect for a special gift. www.peterharrington.co.uk

This beautiful Leigh wedge sandals are by Gina. They are made of rich burgundy satin with the 8,5cm wedge completely encrusted in Swarovski crystals. Check the website for locating the store, print this page and leave it around the house with your shoes size and then hope for the best. www.gina.com
