What Lorna Wants: The Luxury Christmas Wish List

| Nov 24, 2014

My mum asked me for my 'Christmas list' in August. I nearly spat out my cappuccino. August? "Dear God woman, it's still summer!" I replied, aghast.

Mother is the most organised person I know, and on a bright, and surprisingly sunny August day, I hadn't even thought about what I was having for dinner, let alone what I wanted for Christmas. But, it got me thinking; if I could have anything I want, what would I put on the ultimate Christmas wishlist. And so, the day dream began...

A Chanel bag

Lily, Cameron and Daisy all love their Chanel bags!

Yeah, I should get in line I know. If I had a Chanel bag, I could happily retire knowing I met my personal goals. I don't care if it's small or large, quilted or matte leather etcetera etcetera, I just want one, ok?

A Burberry monogrammed wrap

Olivia, Cara and SJP have one, so naturally I want one of these too. I'd wear my LCW wrap over a pair of dark denim wash skinny jeans, Givenchy boots (oh yeah, I'll have those too), a polo neck and an over the shoulder Alexander Wang bag. I mean, it's not asking for much like?

Tom Ford Black Orchid

Advertised

Now this isn't exactly very expensive, but when fragrances go over €100 per bottle, my bank account shuts down in protest. The beautiful scent of this famous perfume reminds me when I was commuting to Miami (yes, I did commute to a city which is a 19 hour door to door journey) and how the sunshine used to fill my room every morning. Sigh.

Anything Moschino

I'm head over heels in love with Jeremy Scott's collection with Moschino. It's kitsch, quirky, jaw dropping and insanely clever. I certainly don't speak Italian, and I wish I spoke Moschino.

Givenchy Boots

Boots, €1255, Brown Thomas

So along with the Burberry wrap, I want to wear Givenchy Boots. Kim K has a large selection of these, and I although I'm not a massive fan of her style, I do applaud her taste in footwear. Givenchy is edgy, urban and if it comes in an ankle boot, I want it! These ones available at Brown Thomas are only €1200, so, you know, pocket change.
