Liberty Christmas Windows '11: Maidens & Swans, Peacocks & Fantasy

No Christmas trip to London is worthwhile without going to see the extravagant window displays, and Liberty is famous for their intricate stages. This year, centring around the theme of the Twelve Days of Christmas, Liberty windows are a captivating with walls of peacock feathers, golden vintage bird frames and tiara clad swans, drenching in glitter and with designer items delicately draped about.

Manolo Blahnik x The Elves & The Shoemaker

Well excuse me if this isn't the cutest little keepsake! 

Manolo Blahnik, renowned shoe designer, has used his creative and remarkable illustrating talents to create a half biography–half fairytale version of The Elves & The Shoemaker, written by his longtime friend, fashion writer Camilla Morton.

I stumbled across this fashion memoir, recently published only last month, on Net-A-Porter (although it's also available in Waterstones) and it has instantly gone onto my wish list. I fell in love with his drawings after receiving Manolo's New Shoes for my 21st, and even more so when I met the man himself at his book signing in Liberty, London. 

At only £12.99, it must be snapped up quick!

Birthstone Valentine / Jordan Askill

It's nearly that time of year again to treat your Valentine, and how sweet are these heart birthstone rings designed by Jordan Askill. The range is exclusively available at Opening Ceremony, for $325 each, but lucky me has found one much closer to home at Liberty London. 9k rose gold and with a dainty blue sapphire set into the inner side to symbolise my birth month of September. Any secret admirers out there, here you go :) you know what to get me!
