Enough of the mad rush shopping, last-minute Christmas e-cards and burnt turkey. This year we’re taking the time to embrace all the special little moments that put the sparkle into the festive season, as
Vogue partners with Michael Kors to bring you
the best of Christmas.
A good way to kick off the festive season – before any of the events and even the to-do lists get under way – is an evening of pampering. A bubble bath with scented candles is a must, as is giving your skin a good cleanse with Cowshed’s range of aromatic scrubs. Throw in a luxurious hair mask to get your locks ready for a month of styling, and you will be ready to take on the world. Start off with the most stressful Christmas activity – the dreaded Christmas shop. We’re making ours a one-stop experience. Our favourite? Fortnum & Mason. From beautiful baubles to the sweetest truffle delights for your Nana, you will be spoilt for choice. Bonus tip? Get the Christmas turkey box – a free-range turkey with gravy, stuffing, pigs in blankets and a joint of gammon for those unexpected Christmas-day guests. And the best part is that it’s delivered – cheers to a very big tick on the to-do list. One thing we’re guaranteed to get excited about is the Christmas stocking. Filling it, getting it – it's a festive favourite. And you can find great stuffers in the most unexpected places. This year we’re dreaming of disco-ball keychains and glitter-dot smartphone cases from Michael Kors, sparkly hair accessories from Anthropologie and a classic inspiration and ideas notebook from Smythson. Once you have all of those admin items under your belt, you can relax knowing that the best is yet to come. The highlight of the festive season? Cosying up on the couch in a snug cashmere sweater (we’re coveting this one from Michael Kors Collection ), enjoying presents and quality time with your loved ones, and toasting the day with mince pies and a glass full of Veuve Clicquot.And to mark this special time? The one Christmas wish every Vogue girl is hoping to find under the tree – the Michael Kors Access Smartwatch. The gift of the season, this little gem will add that extra dose of sparkle to your festive wardrobe, while also seeing you into the New Year with purpose. So pretty to look at, it’s compatible with Apple and Android smartphones, connects with all your favourite apps, like Instagram and Facebook, and updates you on festive calls, texts and Whatsapp messages. We love the fully customisable face, which can take you from Christmas lunch to festive cocktail party, all with the flick of a finger. The ultimate way to round off your Christmas and New Year, on time and stylishly connected.
