Christmas Gift Guide '09

It's officially one month until Christmas now, so if you haven't thought about what to buy for the girls in your life - or anyone for that matter - it's probably about time.

I've completed most of my shopping now but there's always the last few bits I get completely stumped on - The parents.

They never seem to want anything, and if they do they will usually buy it for themselves by the time Christmas comes around. Living away from home doesn't make this any easier...

I do love buying gifts for people however, and I've compiled a few little fail safe treats that might inspire some last-minute shoppers, or even inspire any of you to add some more things onto your own wanted lists.

It might also help anyone who's stuck on what to buy me, as I would love any of these gifts personally (cheeky hint!)...

All I keep hearing about is statment necklaces latley, but I think my big necklace phase is up. I go through stages; I've had phases of wearing statements rings, statement earrings, statement bangles, and statement necklaces.

Since I bought an adorable little 'Love' necklace from accessorize I've become hooked on the dainty little things. I'll be layering up on these and leaving the statment neckwear role to chunky bright scarves.

Brick Lane market on a Sunday is a great treasure trove for pretty little accessories, and thankfully many of their sellers have websites so for those of you who aren't in the London area, you can order them online
