The Christmas season is fast approaching guys, after this weekend there's only 6 shopping weekends left. That's right, six.

So I thought I'd share the bits I'd love to see wrapped up under my Christmas tree this year. The main thing is a new pair of straighteners, mine died at the end of the summer and I've been using my mum's old pair, which to be honest, are not in the greatest shape. My Mum now has a set of the new ones, and when I'm back home I always borrow them, and I'm constantly amazed at how glossy and soft they make my hair.

I've been getting much more into cooking since I've had my new flat and a reasonable sized kitchen (i.e. not a microwave and a square centimeter of sideboard) but my cupboards are lacking a few bits. A lot of the recipes I try out are American and use cups as a measurement, which is great since I don't have any scales, but not so great, since I don't have any cups measures either. Cups are definitely an easier measurement to work off, so a set of these would be great. Also for the kitchen, I'd love a hand held blender so I can make soups, and the Le Creuset mixing bowl I spotted in TKMaxx (for a bargain £10) to replace my one battered plastic mixing bowl. I already have a couple of bits from the Teal Le Creuset range, so it would make a welcome addition!

Something I've had my eye on for six months or so, is a new lense for my camera. I currently have the kit lense, and the 50mm lense. I love the 50mm lense because it blurs the background beautifully, and creates super sharp images, but it's really zoomed in, so it's not really much cop for taking product photos, and it's also still very big! Because of that I tend to use the kit lense for taking photos for the blog, but the quality isn't as great as that of the 50mm. A tonne of research led me to the 40mm lense, which is expensive but seems to always be on offer for around £100 somewhere. The 40mm gives the same aperture effect as the 50mm, but the image quality is even better, and it's not as zoomed in. Also, another bonus, it's tiny, meaning when I'm lugging my camera around London, it won't be as heavy!

I fell in love with the Giorgio Armani Si perfume when it launched, I'm a sucker for sweet scents! I love this perfume, and I don't really have one similar. Somehow I have managed to resist buying this since September, but I feel my resolve slipping!

I already have one pair of these Zara Leggings, but I barely take them off, so I could do with an extra pair. I'm also addicted to Zara's Tartan Scarves, I already have a couple and I've wanted this one for ages but it's always sold out!

And last but not least, I'm going to be running out of my favourite skincare product right around Christmas! And who doesn't love skincare?
