Cossack Hat: Ask And You Shall Receive


On the first day of Christmas
My true love (Santa) sent to me
A Cossack hat, to make my head warm and furry.

On the second day of Christmas
My true love sent to me,
Two turtle doves,
And a Cossack hat, to make my head warm and furry.

On the Third day of Christmas
My true love sent to me,
Watch this Space......

Sequin Delight? Too Right!


*It is like that sequined jacket you spotted, say in Primark or Forever 21. You know you shouldn't. You know you should be saving your money for that timeless piece, but alas, the sequined jacket has powers of persuasion. *Buy me and you'll look beautiful and bright. You know, you just know, I am so right.* Taken word for word from my BlueGreen post.*

Turns out, I couldn't resist it. It may not be from Primark or Forever 21, not brash, but it is still just right. Sequins for Christmas? Sequins forever!

Burberry Man+The Others


A Burberry Man is classic (generalisation/fact). A Burberry man is handsome (another generalisation). A Burberry man is fashionable (obviously). A Burberry Prorsum pre-fall 2012 wearing man is a player! (Fact. The proof is in this post.)

There is something about Burberry Prorsum. That something is the clothes. Question: Who reading this wishes they had a Burberry something hanging up in their wardrobe? Be it a classic trench, an edgy leather jacket or a luxurious dress.

However, Burberry man has decided he wants to mix and match and be a fashionable player for a while. Burberry+Jason Wu. Swit-swooo. Burberry+Chanel. Beautiful to look at. Burberry+Burberry. Two peas in a pod.


 Player #1
Burberry: Looking good Jason Wu.
Jason Wu: You too, Burberry. Loving the coat.

 Player #2
Burberry: Chanel, you are a vision in that dress. Be Mine.
Chanel: Pah. I don't do chat up lines, Burberry. Do you know who I am?
Burberry: But you look so beautiful....
Chanel: Get over yourself.


The Real Deal
Stay away girls. I'm wearing Burberry. He is wearing Burberry.Take that.

Come To Me Cossack Hat


On my wish list this December: a Cossack. You know those furry hats? Yes, one of those. With a Cossack on my head, I can see myself walking on the snow in amongst a Winter Wonderland. A Winter Wonderland where Anna Sui allows me to pick any outfit from her Winter 2011 collection. A Winter Wonderland where my favourite Christmas songs are on repeat. A Winter Wonderland where hot chocolate is best served with a dollop or two of whipped cream. It would be rude not to, really.

And then I hear my alarm at 7.00am. Anna Sui outfit in wardrobe? No. Christmas songs on repeat? No. Cossack on head? No. Instead. Groggy eyed Witch who doesn't want to go to work. Not very festive.


'All I want for Christmas is you (A Cossack) and you (Snow)'. And what about you?
