"It drives me absolutely nuts the way that Christmas shopping from mid-November onward is now labelled as last minute, as if gift-buying is a two-month full-time activity. Please can we normalise starting your Christmas shopping in December? Otherwise, we will all go insane and bankrupt. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk. Here are some lovely things to buy for the people you love, or for your good self this month."
"Suede is feeling right again now, after years in the style wilderness. These Marks & Spencer ankle boots have a 7.5cm heel, which would be ambitious as an all-day court shoe but is much more wearable in a chunky heel boot. This is because a) the snug boot supports your foot in the arched shape, which is much less tiring; and b) the shape of the heel spreads the pressure point so the height doesn't feel so intense."
Normalise starting Christmas shopping in December to avoid panic and overspending, rather than treating mid-November purchases as last-minute. Suede is back in style, and Marks & Spencer suede ankle boots with a 7.5cm block heel offer supportive comfort because the snug boot and chunky heel spread pressure, making the height more wearable; subtle gold detailing adds finish. A western-style Streets Ahead Darci belt provides a bold, cinematic look with a chunky buckle and arrow-shaped metal cap, noted for celebrity wear.
