FashionBite and The ASOS team
The lovely folk at ASOS invited FashionBite for a nose around their winter accessories collection, a few glasses of mulled wine and then ice-skating at Somerset House.
I was able to pick out a few pieces from the fab selection including faux fur, fairisle and cable knit gloves, hats, scarves, snoods…
I nabbed this Russian hat (above), I’ve been after a Russian-style hat for ages..so really pleased!
Also, these shearling gloves. I have to say, I’ve been wearing the gloves for the last few days and they are SO warm, I’ve never had a warmer pair..my hands almost get too warm in them..but they’re perfect for this weather!
For more winter accessories, see www.asos.com.
Ice-skating was great fun, noone fell over luckily, but we did shield a few randoms from falling on us after they crashed into us.
I’m heading home for Christmas tomorrow, like most people I’m sure…
Happy Christmas to everyone! I’ll try and post something but can’t promise as roast turkey and mulled wine might get the better of me!

Filofax Giftbox
I have to admit, I’m a bit of a Filofax junkie..ahhh, I know it’s not the coolest thing to say-but I live by mine! So I was thrilled to be invited and pick up a Filfoax Gift Box in my goody bag – it’s purple (above) and matches my laptop!
I haven’t been to a Filofax store for a long time but they’ve got some gorgeous diaries in different designs, along with bags and accessories that would make great Christmas presents.

The lovely folks at Voucher Codes have pulled together a cracking list of the biggest and best online Christmas Sales, to save you time trawling the streets to snap up those fabulous bargains………
So…happy shopping!
fashionbite xx
Shoppers are expected to spend £120m online on Christmas day, compared to £102m last year.
The IMRG, which measures online sales, said around 4.3 million people are expected to spend an average of £27.90 each tomorrow as they kick-start their Sales shopping early and hunt for the bargains.
However, Boxing day is predicted to be the busiest online shopping day of the year, as the Sales really launch into full swing. See Fashionbite’s guide to shopping the January Sales for some useful tips.
I’ll definitely be in the latter category as I’m spending tomorrow with the family, eating/drinking far too much and playing random games…can’t wait!
Happy Christmas from fashionbite! Have a great one, whatever you do.

![Lola Ring[1]](http://fashionbite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/lola-ring18.jpg "Lola Ring[1]")
If you like the Marc Jacobs perfumes…you’ll adore this! It’s the perfect stocking filler for any Marc Jacobs fan. The ring (above) is the beautiful pink/purple flower petal design of Marc Jacob’s second perfume Lola-it’s so cute. I would buy it as a ring because I love the design-but it’s also got a perfume stick inside. You just slide open the top of the ring and dab away..
![Daisy-2H09-Solid-Perfume-Pin[1]](http://fashionbite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/daisy-2h09-solid-perfume-pin11.jpg?w=235 "Daisy-2H09-Solid-Perfume-Pin[1]")
The broach (left) also caught my eye-the design is based on the original Daisy perfume with a fragrance block inside. I saw them at the Debenhams beauty press day this week, you can buy all Christmas products online from the start of next month at www.debenhams.com.
On the subject of fragrance, I was recently introduced to Chloe by Chloe..it smells amazing- everytime I wear it I get comments from friends, strangers..people on the tube! There’s just something about the fragrance..so if you’re stuck for Christmas pressie ideas-I highly recomm
end it!
You can buy it online at The Perfume Shop www.theperfumeshop.com and the website is offering free delivery at the moment..can’t be bad!
Anyway, back toDebenhams…I spied another fab stocking filler which beautifully combines two of my passions-make-up and chocolate!
![47678_SweetObsessions_M[1]](http://fashionbite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/47678_sweetobsessions_m1.jpg?w=300 "47678_SweetObsessions_M[1]")
Sweet Obsessions by Bare Minerals features nine gorgeous, shimmer eyeshadows. Each one is individually wrapped in a chocolate wrapper and displayed in a chocolate box…love it!
A new beauty brand was also showcased, which is due to have its official UK launch party next week. Fashionbite has been invited but I’ll be in Paris doing interviews with a major online firm..but more about that nearer the time-keep posted for updates! Anyway, thought I’d flag up the brand- it’s called Natio and is one of Australia’s fastest growing beauty brands.
![UK_ValuePack_bag_v2_HR (2)[1]](http://fashionbite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/uk_valuepack_bag_v2_hr-21.jpg?w=286 "UK_ValuePack_bag_v2_HR (2)[1]")
It’s fresh, zesty and sure to be a hit on UK shores.
The brand has a ‘no-fuss’ philosophy- ingredients are derived from plant extracts and essential oils to create a gentle skincare product which the company says is ‘without pretension.’ I love the design on the toiletry bag..!
On the subject of new launches..Fenjal, the Swiss skincare firm, recently launched a new range called Vitality. I’ve been using the body wash and moisturiser..they smell amazing- light, fresh and zingy- but not overpowering.
It uses natural ingredients such as grapeseed oil-along with a vitamin boost of B5, C and E to give your skin that extra lift…perfect for city life!
The price points are great as well, hovering around the £3 to £4 mark, and the pale green packaging with exotic flowers looks fab against my cream bathroom- you can buy it online at www.boots.com
