Welcome to day 2 of Tine’s Christmas Gift Guide! Today we have gift ideas for the fab fashionistas in your life (or maybe for yourself too, you gorgeous fashionista you!). To be honest, I’m not terribly keen on the term “fashionista” but how else does one call a, er, fashion-y person? Oh I’m sure you know what I mean!

I have a number of items in this list (the book by Garance Dore, a necklace by Emily Green and a Monpurse clutch) and they’re great. I’m sure you’ll love them too along with the rest of the items. These are items I’d dearly love for myself. I’m not a fashion-y person per se but I do like my bags so you’ll notice quite a lot of bag-themed things in here. 😛

These gifts are divided into 4 price sections: under $20, $50, $100 and $200. At the time of writing, some of the items are on sale so be quick to snag a bargain if you like!

Happy browsing and shopping!

Happy Monday and welcome to the first day of Tine’s Christmas Gift Guide for 2015! We’ve well and truly entered the silly season and I can’t be more excited. I usually hoard December issues of magazines simply for their Christmas gift guides. It’s not so much of what I can buy for others than what I’d prefer to *ahem* get for *ahem* me. 😛

I enjoyed doing last year’s Christmas gift guide and when I asked on Facebook if you’d like me to do the same this year or if you’re sick to death of gift guides, the answers were a very resounding “DO IT!”. What can I say, I do aim to please.

These are gifts that I would love very much myself (*hint hint*) and I’ve even bought one or two. I love Christmas beauty sets because they don’t just come in beautiful packaging, you get better value out of the items compared to buying each item separately. It’s a good time for me to stock up on things I like too. Y’know, being economical and all. Ahem again.

Have fun, spend wisely and happy shopping!

I have a weakness for planners, diaries and notebooks. You’ll probably faint if you see the amount of money I’ve spent on the notebooks I either rarely or don’t use, planners that are either half-used or not touched at all and the sheer amount of diaries sitting on my shelf. And you thought I’m just nuts about makeup and skincare; wait till you see the stationery collection of mine. Oh yeah, it will blow your socks off. 😛

I’ve been trialing and testing out different planners over the past couple of years, and I’ve stumbled upon some really good ones. If you’re looking for a new planner/diary to plan your 2016 (which is coming in just under a month omgwheredidthetimego), here are some that you might like to check out. I give these 2 enthusiastic thumbs up!
