Delectable Eclectibles

It's here! The delectable How to Spend It "Christmas Unwrapped" edition. I rushed to my local news stand hoping this would be the day of it's arrival. Inside is a wonderful feature on Manolo Blahnik talking aesthetics as well. This is just the beginning of the Financial Times' annual, seasonal tackle of the Christmas list. Even if I (or perhaps, you) can't include all of the must-haves on my own list, it's about receiving joy from the spirit of the idea. I must say, that Etro metal belt is a walking ornament in its own right. I hope you are inspired.

This week's must-haves for her include:

1. Celine leather and ponyskin bag
2. Elyse Allen Textiles cashmere studded shawl
3. Etro metal belt (in love!)
4. Montblanc Patron of Art Elizabeth I fountain pen
5. Sony T99 digital compact camera
6. Ice London Princess business card holder with Swarovski elements
7. Chopard rose gold Imperiale Chronograph (salivating over this)
8. Agent Provocateur Soiree silk and lace Yasmina bra and briefs
9. Mawi gold plate and Swarovski crystal beetle brooch (more beetlemania for you fans)
10. Pomellato rose gold Bahia ring
11. Aaronson Noon glass Jewel perfume bottle

Working off the list...
