Malone Magic
Buying gifts for those people who have everything always seem to be the hardest jobs. If you're stuck for an idea look no further than Jo Malone. I was lucky enough to be invited to the opening of their Adelaide store, which is only the third Jo Malone store to open in Australia. Known for their luxurious scents, candles and body creams Jo Malone is truly luxurious and definately a gift that will delight even the fussiest of critics. With gift sets available over the next few months (just in time for Christmas) there's no better time to spoil those you love. Visit www.jomalone.com.au for all the info.

Pretty Crystal Things
The new collection from crystal powerhouse Swarovski is anything but boring. I'm loving the new Crystaline glassware and Waterlilly collection. What a great gift idea for your future mother-in-law! I think the tealight holders would look gorgeus on a table for a dinner party too... very speccy!
Visit www.swarovski.com to see the gorgeous collection.

Save the Date
If you're planning a destination wedding, or have chosen a date during a popular time of year, a Save the Date card is a great way to let your guests know the wedding date well in advance. Some designs even include accommodation details that will give your guests all the information they need to arrange their digs well within time.

The Save the Date card is an opportunity to implement some styling ideas, whether it be the colour palette or typeface choice, but it can afford to be a little lighthearted and different from the wedding stationery. This way, when guests receive the wedding invitation, it will still be special.

Fine Stationery, in the US, offers a custom printed range of cards from the most divine designers and they can deliver right to your door in Australia. There are hundreds from which to choose - the only problem will be which one!

Here are some of our favourites...

Glam Up in 60 Seconds
Well spring has finally arrived and what a relief it is! I'm beginning to slowly put away my winter woolies and have started stocking up my cupboards with the cutest little summer dresses in the brightest shades. I'm loving the new Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish. It comes in a hot selection of colours and, as the name suggests, dries in 60 seconds. What more could a girl on the go need? Rimmel is available at Priceline, Kmart, Target, BigW, Coles stores and selected pharmacies nationally so to check out the colour range visit www.RimmelLondon.com.

Oh So Sensible Stationery
What a fun idea - stationery pre-empting the wedding! Etiquette suggests a bride must not use her married name before the wedding so this is a neat way to get in the spirit without breaking the rules. And so pretty too!

These are from Mr Boddington in the US.
