What was in my stocking!

So I thought as Christmas has just passed I should do a what I got for christmas post as it may give people some ideas for future presents and it will remind me of Christmas!

The first thing that I got was the Jo Malone english pear and freesia cologne with the matching candle.  I like to stick to one smell, so that it becomes a 'signature scent'.  I had been looking for a new perfume after using Chloe for ever.  After giving up on the Selfridges perfume department I then stumbled upon this perfume in the Jo Malone concession.   I love this sent it is so fresh but sweet with a subtle tone of pear and rose (even though it is supposed to be freesia).  It is a very young scent with warm clean tones throughout!  All in all the perfect perfume for me!  Although it is not cheap it is the perfect luxury perfume!  As for the candle for me it is the definition of luxury and it was a lovely addition in my stocking!

The second item in my stocking was a pair of gorgeous Vivienne Westwood earrings.  The packaging gave it away instantly but I was still so excited to unwrap the ribbon and open the box.  I was glad with the pair that my mother had chosen as they were not the standard logo earrings! They are the perfect present to give to a loved one and on sail at the moment so grab them while you can!

The next item was one of my favourites!!  These Just sheepskin slippers are the perfect investment (although I did not get the myself I always call my purchases investments to make myself not feel guilty for spending lots of money) But seriously they keep your feet so warm! I would recommend these to anyone who gets cold feet in the winter...and they claim that the keep your feet cool in the summer!  Not so sure about this but I will have to get back to you!
