MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME

WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THOSE CLOTHES WE MAKE AND LUSTING AFTER IMPOSSIBLE ITEMS
(ALI'S CAMEL COAT, GYPSY'S SQUASH BLOSSOM NECKLACE, FRIDA'S HEADDRESS)
BUT AS CHRISTMAS IS COMING, 
WE ARE THINKING OF WHAT WE'D LIKE TO GET AND TO GIVE.
FOR A HAPPY HIPPIE HOLIDAY.
WE PRETEND TO HATE IT (WE ARE INTIMIDATED), BUT THIS INTERNET BUSINESS MAKES IT EASY-PEASY. AND NOW YOU JUST HAVE TO DECIDE: PEPPERMINT BARK OR PEACOCK? CAN YOU REALLY GO WRONG WITH BOTH?

 NAVAJO BAZAAR, $810.00
We like to draw hearts around the skulls and give them crowns to lessen the Hirst Factor. From MODERN ALCHEMY, $50.00

Day in day out for 4 years of University, good enough for Pablo P. and Edie S: when in doubt, go for Gitane by ST JAMES, $115

Indian block print sham and duvet from the divine JOHN ROBSHAW, $80-$425
For our perpetually cold hands, cashmere wristwarmers from BRORA, £33.00
