Full of sparkly pinks, bronze and golden hues, if you’re a natural beaut kinda gal for most of the year, the Holiday Collection 2020 is an easy way to let the world know you’re ready for Christmas without cramping your style.

Fendi’s holiday collection, Fendi Roma, was designed to get everybody in the mood for the most wonderful time of the year. While we can’t really go anywhere this Christmas, there’s no reason we can’t embrace a spirited change of outfits anyway. In the women’s range, find an elegant palette of soft pink, gold and black. Highlighted silhouettes include cosy jumpers—fingers crossed for the cool breeze this year—feminine midi-length skirts and statement boots. The men’s half of the collection takes on a more youthful, sporty look with lots of black and yellow combos and logo work, but it’s not without timeless tailored pieces either. For the classic man, find dapper winter blazers, leather jackets, trousers and coats that aren’t logo-laden. One of the signature looks in the collection for men are the half-and-half blazers that you can unzip and transform into a cropped jacket. Otherwise, keep it at full length for an interesting colour blocking appearance.  

Available at Fendi boutiques and on fendi.com.

Here’s an interesting collaboration of two local brands iconic in their own right: Moo, the casual wear line of elite Thai designer Polpat Asavaprapha, and Nanyang, the staple sneaker of Thai school children. The result is nostalgic footwear that’s been given a stylish upgrade for life after grade school. “Moo Asava” brings to the unisex shoes bold, sporty colours that you can match with your casual ensem or even mix with an elegant outfit to dress it down a notch.

You come into full realisation that Christmas is around the corner when your morning coffee starts to taste a little festive as well. This season’s limited-edition capsules from Nespresso comprise of flavours Amaretti, Torta di Nocciole (hazelnut) and Il Caffe (a cereal coffee with a little bit of spice). My personal favourite out of the three is the Tora di Nocciole, but the Amaretti is really nice on the rocks as well for our warm Christmases here in Thailand. 

Available at your nearest Nespresso outlet or at nespresso.com.
