Christmas is just around the corner, there’s just Halloween, Bonfire Night, and we are on the home stretch. So, today, I’m turning my attention to gifts for the special women in your life that have a taste for fashion.

As ever, this guide is a work in progress, and other items will be added, so bookmark it for future viewing.

Pink Flared Sleeve Sequin Top from Simply Be

Sequins at Christmas are as traditional as turkey and trimmings, and Simply Be have a brilliant range of sequined tops and dresses that are just perfect for Christmas parties and New Years Eve. The Pink Flared Sleeve Sequin Top is so pretty, and looks great with jeans and strappy sandals for a cool, effortless Christmas sparkle outfit.This is a gorgeous pink sequin with flared sleeve detail that just adds another level to your look. It is a flattering fit (go for your usual size) and comes in a soft, stretchy jersey material which means it is comfortable too. Just add some statement jewellery and you are good to go.

The Sherpa Mula Beanie

With the weather turning ever colder, a gloriously beautiful knitted hat from Sherpa Adventure Gear is a lovely, practical gift idea. The colourful hand-knitted  Sherpa Mula Beanie will not only keep you snug and cosy during the winter months but also provides meaningful employment for women via co-ops in Nepal. This enables financial independency and the ability to work around family life and contribute to the home. This means that your Christmas gift is actually doing something good, perfect for those who really want to embrace the true meaning of Christmas.

If that wasn’t enough, every item bought from Sherpa donates a day at school for a Nepali child, a truly wonderful thing.

Vendula London is the home of beautiful, quirky fashion accessories that catch the eye and guarantee to be the centrepiece to any outfit. For Christmas they have produced the astonishing No.25 Mistletoe Lane Large Square Scarf which is a 100% viscose, silky scarf that has the stunning print of  the Vendula Christmas shop.

This scarf is large enough to make it very versatile, you can wear it so many ways, and is definitely a statement piece that would look fabulous draped over a jumper for a Christmas day look.

Zenobia Cat Eye Green Sunglasses From GlassesShop

Sunglasses are not an item that are just worn in Summer. Bright Winter’s sun can make it difficult to drive, to watch live sport, and can also lead to sore and runny eyes. This makes the gift of stylish sunglasses a great idea for Christmas. GlassesShop is the place to go if you are looking for stylish and affordable sunglasses. Founded in 2004, GlassesShop is one of the top three online eye wear stores. Their fabulous online shop has a wide range of trendy sunglasses, including clip on sunglasses, and prescription eyeglasses.

My key picks are the beautiful, retro style Zenobia sunglasses, that have a cat eye style and come in a range of gorgeous colours. The glasses are described as having:-

Subtle curves and lightweight TR90 material let it highlight your features without overpowering your outfit. This is a modern must-have for the fashion lovers out there. 

The glasses come in a great, stylish plastic case which is perfect for storage, and for carrying them in your handbag or beach bag. They also have a really useful wipe cloth which will help keep your glasses in tip top condition at all times. The truly affordable price means you could get these in a few colours to match them to your outfits.

GlassesShop offer brilliant sunglasses and prescription glasses at affordable prices with fast delivery options, making them just perfect as a Christmas gift for a fashion lover.

Most people love to wear a new pair of pjs on Christmas Eve, so why not gift the most luxurious, beautiful pair that you will ever find.The Chelsea Peers Organic Cotton Giraffe Print Pyjama Set available at Simply Be are absolutely beautiful, the ultimate in pyjamas you would be proud to open the door to the postman in.This PJ Set from Chelsea Peers is crafted from a super comfortable organic cotton fabric. The eye catching monochrome giraffe print is a real talking piece, super cute and yet stylish too, and they are finished with contrast piping. The set comprises a long sleeve button up pyjama top with front pocket and a pair of matching elasticated waist pyjama bottoms.

I so love this set, definitely top of my own Christmas list.

Camille Navy Blue Hacci Nightdress
If your idea of bliss is to spend days in nightwear or lounge wear that is stylish enough to be able to open the door to the postman without any embarrassment, then step this way and check out this offering from sleepwear experts Camille. They say you can lounge around in style with our new Cowl nightwear collection. These pieces offers the ability to not only look stylish but to be comfortable too. The range is perfect for those relaxing days or even to cosy up in front of the fire.
I love the navy blue Hacci nightdress which sort of looks like an oversized hoodie, with a cowl neck and drawstring detail. It has a front pocket, and ribbed cuffs and hemline. It is a really cool, cosy look.

Celebrity Socks From ChattyFeet
I have a bit of an obsession with cool socks – I don’t think I ever wear anything plain and boring. ChattyFeet is a brand that is just made for those who love their socks, with brilliant, fun designs in the brightest of colours. Their socks have great, witty names, and many have a celebrity/famous person design, for instance, Kate Middle-Toe socks and Frida Callus socks
As a fan of great 1970’s music, there were a couple of designs that toe-tally (I know!) stood out to me.  The David Toewie socks are so Ziggy Stardust, a real slice of glam rock, and perfect for fans of Bowie.  They are designed by Gil Kahana (actually the co-owner of ChattyFeet too) and come in sizes that make them unisex.
If Bowie wasn’t your thing in the 1970’s, then how about Mr Eltoe John? I mean, how brilliant are these! Classic Elton styling and fabulous bright colours make these a perfect gift idea, and at less than a tenner, they are also an affordable gift or stocking filler. I absolutely love them.
Helly Hansen Women’s F2F Organic Cotton Hoodie 
Helly Hansen is the outdoor brand who put the warm and cosy into Winter wear. They create brilliant quality pieces that look amazing, wash like a dream, and help to keep your warm even when the weather becomes biblical.
I have featured Helly Hansen before on this blog, as it is a brand my son loves, but today I am featuring a piece from their womenswear collection. The Women’s F2F Organic Cotton Hoodie comes in a massive array of colours, and sizes that range from XS and 2xl. It is made using a mix of organic cotton for softness and poly for wicking to keep you snug and dry. The fabulous graphic design is from the Fjord to Fjell collection and is just lovely, certainly inspiring you to plan some future travels.
A Personalised Crossbody Leather Bag From Boutique Gifts
I have often mentioned in this blog how much I love personalised gifts. I love the idea that this is a gift that is truly only meant for one person, and the thought that has gone into it. The Crossbody Leather Bag in Light Grey from Boutique Gifts is not only a beautiful, classically stylish piece, but can also be personalised with the recipients initials, making it a truly wonderful surprise.
The fact that this is hard wearing leather, and that it is crossbody, make it a practical bag that can be used every day, and in all weathers. It comes in three colours, blue, pink and my personal choice, light grey. The strap is adjustable, which is always a good feature, and it is security conscious, as it also comes with a zip fastening as well as the front flap detail. It is beautifully gift boxed, making it a wonderful thing to give this Christmas.
Boutique Gifts say:-
The personalised leather backpack can be personalised with up to 3 characters featuring on the front of the bag. The personalisation will be hand debossed in gold or silver foil by one of our fabulous in-house experts before being carefully packaged and sent out to you. 
A ONE4ALL GIFT CARD
Giving people a choice when it comes to their Christmas present is always a winner, especially if the person is notoriously hard to buy for. One4all Gift Cards can be spent at a range of online and High Street retail partners including ASOS, Primark, IKEA, Boots, TK Maxx and B&Q. They can be loaded with any amount between £10 and £120.
Another brilliant thing about the One4all Gift Card is  that it is great if you forget someone (perish the thought but it does happen), as you can pick one up at your local Post Office, Tesco, selected Morrisons, Co-op, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Aldi, Poundland and Iceland supermarkets, as well as online at one4all.com.
I love receiving a gift card, so this is the perfect gift to give to someone who actually loves shopping and would rather pick their own gift. It is a guilt free, stress free gift.
Brushed Cotton Pyjama Set From Lovall
Lovall is one of my favourite brands, one that I always turn to when I need leggings, coated skinnies or cosy lounge wear. But, did you know they also have a fabulous collection of pyjamas? The BRUSHED COTTON PYJAMA SET is one of the softest, loveliest gift ideas that you will come across this festive season.
These are pyjamas that come in two colours, light grey, and light pink, both with a candy style stripe, which makes them really stylish and pretty. The set is comprised of an oversized t-shirt and cuffed joggers, which are adjustable on the waistband by a drawstring to ensure your comfort.
Lovall describe this set as ‘A co-ord that optimises your sleep experience’, and it is hard to disagree with that!
Taylor Swift And The Clothes She Wears by Terry Newman
This is the perfect present for all the ‘Swifties’ out there. Taylor Swift and the clothes she wears by Terry Newman looks at some of the most iconic looks that Taylor has worn over the years, both on stage, on the red carpet, and off duty, It is a beautiful, hardback edition with a real cloth cover that is chocked full of glossy, full page photographs that will literally have you drooling over Taylor’s amazing wardrobe, and ability to always get it just right when it comes to fashion.
If you are a fan of Taylor Swift, or know a Swiftie, then you need to look at the Taylor Swift collection at AAC Art books, which you can find here
