Gift Ideas For Stylish Friends and Family

The onset of Christmas always makes me panic a little when it comes to finding the appropriate gift for friends and family, particularly for those who are quite particular!

Receiving a book for a gift is as much about the book, as giving someone permission  to take time out for themselves to sit down and read...

Here are a few of Truly's favourite fashion and style books that are fantastic for gifts.

The Party Dress by Alexandra Black, $114.95, will not only mesmerise but will have you wishing for an opportunity to go and play dress ups.  If you enjoy viewing gowns by some of the top designers such as Armani, Balenciaga and Lanvin and that have been photographed by world reknowned photographers then this book could be a sneaky present to yourself, or to your best friend who loves an excuse to dress up. www.fishpond.co.nz/product_info.php

Many of you will be familiar with the website The Sartorialist, well now there is the book version, which means it can be read in bed, or left on the coffee table to inspire.  A totally stylish book that will please even the most stylish friend. To purchase from Fishpond for $49.95 www.fishpond.co.nz/product_info.php

For a gift that is a little more intellectual there is More Alive With Colour by Leatrice Eiseman.  Leatrice is the CEO of Pantone, which is the world leader in colour, so really she is the "Colour Guru".  $41.99 available through Fishpond.  www.fishpond.co.nz/product_info.php

Other little extras that are great to throw in include this "Sintra" chain belt from Jeanswest is a great little buy, a bit rock chic and for $16.99 you can't really go wrong.

Or a beautiful kaftan AUD$65 from www.sequinsandsand.com.au they have a wonderful array of easy to wear kaftans and cover ups that make you feel covered up and gorgeous!
