And with all these gadgets lying around I can't help but find that recharging them all is a drainer. Want proof? I have three things charging as we speak. No, I'm not carbon neutral. So tree huggers aside, I think I may have found myself the perfect Christmas gift.
Christmas Desires: Ann Demeulemeester badgesFor something a little quirky... At only £25 pounds Anne Demeulemeester's sets of badges are perfect if you're after a small yet quirky gift. The badges are fantasy themed, with sillhouettes of mythical creatures in black and white. The best thing: they're great for both guys or girls.
Find them at Browns. Daily Desire: Paul Smith cashmere hatIf this isn't the cutest hat I've ever seen, I don't know what is. It looks like it belongs on the furry noggin of a cute little Beatrix Potter character - if only there were matching little kitten mittens to complete the picture. Oh wait! There are!
Not only is the hat adorable but it's hand crafted in cashmere cable knit, with button detail. Apparently, each piece is knitted by an individual in their own home, and signed by the creator. Daily Desire: Paul Smith Vintage HoldallMen needs bags. It had to be said. Stop carrying everything in your pockets, that is never a good look.

Oh and just in case you failed to notice, it has a has a vintage union jack print, which with the right outfit could be tres punk. Available from Paul Smith for £225.00. You can tell us what you think of it in trends. Hayden Panettiere for Dooney and BourkeWhen searching for handbags, Dooney and Bourke has never been a "go-to" designer for me. The brand has carried such an older vibe, much better suited for middle aged women. However, they have definitely reinvented themselves over the past couple of years with help from young Hollywood stars such as, Emma Roberts, Mischa Barton, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Lindsay Lohan. The newest celebrity to join the D&B ranks is 'Heroes' star Hayden Panettiere. Panettiere said, "I wanted to do something people haven't seen from Dooney and Bourke before, so my bag is red patent leather." Anything red, patent, AND leather will make any outfit pop.
The $500 bag retails in December, just in time for Christmas. Marie Antoinette Pearls to go on the BlockIf you have a spare £400,000 and have a fascination with French History you may just be in luck with auction house Christie's getting ready to auction pearls that once belonged to Marie Antoinette. That's right the same Marie that according to wikipedia was miss-credited with the quip "Let them eat cake".
Lascivious playing cardsA little while back, the team at Lascivious lingerie sent us the most amazing press pack. I haven't gotten around to writing about it (but rest assured, you will get an article about how to put together a show-stopping press pack, and Lascivious will definitely feature), so here is just one part I wanted to mention. Lascivious' erotic playing cards.
More hats: Rachel Bilson and Jessica AlbaWe've been watching how celebrities like Kate Moss, Keira Knightley, Lindsay Lohan and Kirsten Dunst have been wearing hats. Fedoras in felt or straw, and straw panamas have been strong as trends.
Photos of the Armani PhoneWe've looked at a lot of different mobile phones recently, from the Prada phone to the iPhone, and just the other day brought you photos of the Armani Phone, though it was still branded as Samsung. Just released are the photos of the final Armani branded phone and here it is:
Even more designer mobile phonesWell only one phone... but with a tonne of different faces. T-Mobile and a large bunch of designers have teamed up to redesign a Sidekick mobile. The money from the sales will go to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer and the phones are unique one offs.
