Going up: plant pot prints, the Baukjen label and Sophia Webster sandals. Going down: blowing budgets, Christmas carols and selfie loathing
*Going up
*
*Sophia Webster** sandals *The only party shoe for which we will risk a bare foot in December. Even the most practical dresser is weak in the face of a Lula polka-dot sandal.
*The **Elysees Cocktail Shaker** *At £18, you can gift it or get shaking yourself, or both.
*Dolce & Gabbana**'s plant pot print for men* Who doesn't want a cactus plant on their small leather goods? Chic jolliness.
*Baukjen* Not an oddball Scandi knit label, but modern, London-designed chic pieces. The Audley pencil skirt with Carine-esque side split, £105, is a late addition to our Christmas list.
*Kilts* On trend and just in time for Hogmanay shopping, new label Le Kilt specialises in the Scots skirts – all handmade north of the border. Wear with a black polo neck for top marks.
*Going down
*
*Blowing the budget *Ellesse's old-school T-shirt is a nice shape, lovely logo and 20 quid. Why aren't more nice things £20?
*Selfie loathing *Accidental front camera incidents never get easier, do they? Oh, hey chin.
*Slipper anxiety *You'll be spending the next 10 days indoors, so your slippers need to be stylish. The Minnetonka thunderbird moccasin is an off-duty classic. With an air of Marant, wear with cropped jeans and the heat on.
*Christmas carols *We'd rather listen to Rick Owens' iPod. The designer listens to "hardcore techno, old disco records and old show tunes". What a mix.
*Choupette *Sorry, Karl, but when we belatedly found out about Everest Ocean – Frank's Saint Bernard – all other celebrity pets looked a little below par. Choupette might have a maid but Everest is executive producer on Ocean's album Channel Orange. Top dog.
