Last minute gift guide: HER


Following my gift guide for him;  here's one for her...  

So you're planning to buy her present this weekend - just goes to show that you have put in extra time, thinking of the perfect gift!  In case you are still unsure, I've got some ideas that will melt her heart:

A wardrobe essential - an evening bag or clutch.  If in doubt stick with classic colours and simple lines.

A cashmere cardigan - not too long, not too short; fitted with no buttons.  Soft greys look good on almost everyone!

A gorgeous silk shirt - cotton shirts are good for guys, but silk is so much more feminine and sits better on a woman's body.  French brand Equipment makes the perfect luxe shirt; it's worth the splurge!!

A jewellery box - leather, timber, mirror... The choices are endless.

A leather bound journal or notebook - use the first couple of pages to write a love note!!!  She will treasure this.

A special piece of jewellery that finishes her favourite outfit - requires extra thought, but shows that you have been paying attention.

Jewelled hair slides - so her hair frames her beautiful face.

A luxe scented candle - for her dressing table or bathroom.  Nothing makes me happier, hmmm... except flesh flowers.

For a touch of glamour - Charlotte Tilbury's "Bar of Gold" skin gilding highlighter.  Creates a radiant, lit-from-within glow!  (Most cosmetic brands make highlighters, but CT's has the prettiest packaging!)
