Laura's Lovely Things Christmas Wishlist

It's fun to make wishlists around this time of year. Frankly, I'd feel very lucky indeed if I received even one of the items on my wishlist (check out the luxury beauty items I'd love to find under the tree). There's nothing at all wrong with indulging in a spot of wishing, so here are the non-beauty items I'd love to find under the tree this year.

• Pretty Honest: The Straight-Talking Beauty Companion (€26.99)

I love Sali Hughes' open, down to earth approach to beauty. I haven't managed to get my hands on a copy of the book everyone is raving about yet, so I'd love for Santa to bring me one!

• Diptyque Résine Scented Candle (€55)

This candle smells like Christmas. It has that authentic,sweet sappy smell that you get from a room full of Christmas trees and it's just too beautiful. I can't find a candle to match its loveliness, but for now must resort to sniffing it winsomely as I pass by.

• Coast Lynx Wrap Top (€55)

I have sort of a thing for black tops, and coast does the best ones. The sheer sleeves and v neckline make this everyday staple a bit interesting, and the cinched waist is flattering to all. Hurrah!

• Marks and Spencer Autograph Leather Chelsea Boot (€95)

I want these boots with a shoe lust that keeps me awake at night. I'm pretty boring, and the fact that they are sensible AND chic is drawing me in like a magpie. Patent leather always gives me that first-day-at-school thrill and my feet are FREEZING in this weather, so technically I need these. Right now.

What lust-haves are you coveting this Christmas? Is there a particular shop window you stand staring into during your lunch hour like a weirdo? To the comments!
