FASHION | 5 Things I want for Christmas (but it's always Christmas so whatever...)

1. Colour Block Hi-Top Sneakers from Marni



What? Known for their emphasis on colour, print and shape, Italian label Marni is an all-time favourite amongst fashion lovers. The new Fall Winter collection presents a wide range of delightful accessories, including these gorgeous high top sneakers in calfskin leather and rubber panels. 

Why? Colour blocking will always be in trend no matter what. With a bold red band across the top, you can always dress up or down an outfit with these modern looking sneakers. Its timeless graphic appeal also renders it a safe investment for anyones' sartorial needs.

Where? Available online at Hypebeast for $5,813.



2. Youth Hotel by Gosha Rubchinskiy

"It's very romantic, the name, because a hotel is a place where you stay for a bit and then leave. Youth is a transitional state," Gosha explains. "With this book I'm inviting everyone to stay in this world of youth."


What? A raw, emotional photographic journal chronicling adolescent life and youth culture of the current generation. 

Why? It's the ultimate visual guide to what inspires the fashion of today, holding itself as a cultural/fashion zeitgeist that celebrates youth culture through the lens of an outsider.

Where? The waiting list is available online at IDEA Books (I've got my hands on a signed copy thanks to a special someone in London :P)


3. Opus XIV by Harry Winston

What? There's reason behind the madness of one of the most anticipated watch releases of the year. 4 discs telling the time, timezone and date respectively are housed in a white gold case that is styled in a retro Americana vibe. The other disc you ask? It's for 'aesthetics' where a press of the button will drop a miniature record onto a playing disc.

Why? Its cool factor and the fact that it screams class with a fun and zany attitude.

Where? The thing of dreams unless you have a cool USD$430,000 lying around. Even then, it's only limited to 50 units in the world but that can't stop me from dreaming :P


 


4. 'Liquidambar' Candle by DIPTYQUE

"A celebration of the delights of nature which embraces the redness of this large autumnal tree."


What? A limited edition blend of nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar. Basically, Christmas in a candle.

Why? Who doesn't like the smell of Christmas? The promise of warm, cozy fireplaces and wisps of cinnamon conjures up all sorts of olfactory goodness one would associate with the holiday season.

Where? Available at Diptyqe boutiques worldwide. $245 for 2.4 oz and $490 for 6.5 oz.


5. LV City Guides for iOS
What? The most stylish digital pocketbook guide you'll ever need for your travels.

Why? Renowned as the purveyor of taste, Louis Vuitton's guide to these must-see destinations are packaged beautifully with an easy-to-use interface and stylish graphics. The itineraries are to look out for, especially if you're into unknown boutiques and unique art experiences, all in the comfort of your phone.

Where? iOS app. Paris city guide available for free until 31st December.
