Dear Santa, I have been a very good girl, so please bring me the BERLINE MINI BAG by Hermès, it is totally my object of desire! And probably yours now, too!
BERLINE BAG by Hermès
Introduced for F/W 2012, the original Berline Bag is available in the size 28 (28x21x9 cm). While it takes on a new colour for S/S 2013, vermillon red, its features, inspired from the Kelly bag and the automobile universe, pay tribute to the house’s unique saddler-stuffer know-how.
Berline Bag Veau Swift – CHF 6600.-
BERLINE MINI BAG by Hermès
For the S/S 2013 season, it will be available for the first time as a miniature version in the size 21 (21x17x6 cm). This little sister of the Berline bag showcases Hermès’ saddler-padding know-how with its cushioned leather sections. Although its strap is thinner and longer for relaxed crossbody wear, its clasp and snap hooks take a strong stand in retaining their original size. Available in six colours, with matching strap.

As you know besides my family, the love of my life is fashion and the second one is travelling. Personally speaking, exploring new countries and experiencing new cultures are sources of inspiration for me. When I was a little girl, I had a map in my room with pins marking the cities and places I had already seen in my life. The only thing that I dislike about travelling is packing. But with the right luggage, it is much more fun.
Here is the perfect gift for all wanderlusty:
Rely on this lightweight hardside case to accompany you on your longer journeys:
The Spectra Collection from Victorinox combines lightweight durability with 360 degree weightless movement. Constructed with 100% pure Bayer polycarbonate, these cases offer superior strength for the highest level of performance. As the lightest, pure-polycarbonate hardside collection with eight wheels and a dual-trolley handle system, Spectra offers guaranteed protection and handling ease to meet the demands of the modern traveler. The Swiss Tracker™ Bag Tracking Program will reunite you with your bag anywhere in the world should it ever be lost – for free and the Access™ Lock Combination Recovery Program allows you to register your lock combination on victorinox.com and recover it if it is ever forgotten.
My choice went to the limited edition suitcase Spectra by Victorinox in purple because I love spotting my suitcase from far away among all those black and grey ones. Such a stylish and elegant piece that I am sure every fashionable globetrotter would appreciate for Christmas. And if you add a travel voucher, you will surely make somebody very happy.

This Christmas, Cartiertakes us on a Winter Tale. Two panther cubs play hide and seek in a snow-laden forest of fir trees. These mischievous cubs lead us on an enchanting adventure. Follow their journey (see video at the end of this post), filled with discoveries and precious gifts… wouldn’t it be lovely to have one of those beautiful jewelry pieces under the Christmas tree?!
Work on your seductive, feline side and nobody could reject your wish list… I mean, who on earth could resist those eyes?
Even though Christmas itself is only a moment between 24 Dec and 25 Dec, for most of us Christmas decorations take a lot of time. Every year I try to set up a different Holiday theme and go beyond the traditional green-red-gold style. Personally speaking, my husband cannot understand why we need so many ornaments in different colors but I truly love the fact that my Christmas tree never looks the same.
I have been collecting Christmas ornaments since many years. Whenever I am travelling, I am taking one home. My tree is therefore full of memories and each ornament has its own little story. This little cutie was a present from my friend Mel recently.
How adorable are those mini lipstick hangers, Chanel-like bags and shoes, who wouldn’t like to have a Birkin dangling on the tree?!
Those must-haves are available in Switzerland at Globus. The Swiss department store is celebrating Noël à la française (French Christmas) and offers a selection of the most fashionable Christmas ornaments ever!
Doesn’t this look like a good christmas present for your girlfriends? Not only is nail polish a fun present to give, but also, it’s every season’s must-have accessory. Fill a santa bag with some vibrant hues from Maybelline‘s new colorful nail polish collection “Colorama” and add some fun nail stickers plus an express remover that takes off the varnish with one dip (I love those). I am sure that your friends will adore your idea. All products are in stores now.
Colorama Nail Polish (available in 19 shades): CHF 7.90 each Colorama Fashion Prints Nail Sticker (available in 2 versions, Zebra Night and Metal Heavy): CHF 10.90 each (18 stickers included in each set) Express Remover: CHF 14.90 (75ml)
An Alexander McQueen dress or an Yves Saint Laurent tuxedo – Louboutin shoes or the Birkin bag – which started the most trends?
How about their red carpet wow-factor? Or their day-to-day practicality?
These playing cards, FASHION FACE OFF – A TRUMP CARD GAME, allow fashion lovers of all ages to play iconic clothes, shoes, and accessories off against each other to discover who is the most on trend. Just don’t play against me, haha…

Choconchoc’s Make A Chocolate House Kit contains everything your little ones will need for cement-mixing, brick-making, plan-drawing and building. But how long will the house stay standing?
For the festive period, Maison Cailler has brought together two exclusive creations to make one perfect gift, a limited edition chocolate to crown the house’s long and successful collaboration with the Ecuadorian cocoa farmers. The “Edition Limitée” ChocOrigine Grand Cru 2012 for year end celebrations combines one coffret of “croquants” and one gourmet coffret of “ganaches”.
A very special treat for the chocolate connoisseur.
