Christmas might be months away but that doesn’t mean we can’t get excited about the advent calendars set to be released in the coming weeks. I’ve had a peek at most of them already and can confirm that 2018 is looking gorgeous. These three luxurious calendars are a fabulous way to count down to Christmas. Best of all, the beautifying treats inside won’t take a toll on your waist line.

The CLARINS Advent Calendar 2018 is available now as limited edition for CHF 99.00.

The 25 Days of Beauty – NET-A-PORTER Advent Calendar offers one door more…

The JO MALONE Advent Calendar 2018 will be available from October 30, 2018 for CHF 490.00.

If you like to travel mostly with hand luggage like me, you will totally enjoy all these travel size products included for face, body and hair.

Do you still believe in Santa Claus? Well, you should…
This year, he does exist and his name is Jean Paul Gaultier. But this time, only “naughty children” will be rewarded.

Discover “The Naughty Christmas” on www.jeanpaulgaultier.com.

Each day, a gift can be won. You have the chance to open three doors, the rule is… There are no rules, open whichever day you want! This is Christmas for naughty children. Very cool!

LoL, Sandra

Starting from today, I would like to make the run up to Christmas even more exciting with my fashion advent calendar. Each day, I will show you something special that might be a great gift for you or your beloved ones. For all fashionistas that found opening their chocolate-filled advent calendar this morning a little disappointing. Let’s make the festive season even more sparkling…Yes, December 1st has arrived!

Have a look at this cute Miniature Barbie Shoes Set by Christian Louboutin. In 2009/2010, the three limited edition dolls were introduced (just click on the photos below for the previous posts), this December you can add some accessories! Available among other stores at Selfridges (please click on the tiny pic above to be transfered directly).
