There’s no avoiding it: Christmas is just around the corner, meaning your consumption of buffet food and sparkles is about to go up. Way up. It also means you’re going to have to start thinking gifts imminently. Yikes!
But where do you turn if you’re flat out of ideas? What do you do if you refuse to buy filler gifts but don’t have time to trawl the shops for inspo? Tory Burch might just have the answer. The American house – renowned for its peppy New York polish – has joined forces with Susan Miller, for a very different kind of gift guide.
Miller, for those who don’t know, is the fash pack’s favourite astrologer – those who do know, no doubt receive (and duly take note of) her daily Astrology Zone readings every morning. And now, in an inspired mood, Burch has enlisted Miller’s skills to curate holiday gift guides tailored to the 12 zodiac signs.
Each guide includes an assortment of holiday gift ideas handpicked by Miller and assigned to an each astrological sign based on that sign’s signature traits. ‘The stars show us our loved one’s proclivities,’ says Miller. ‘There is the perfect gift out there for everyone, one just needs to look above to find it.’
So what can you expect? For romantic Pisces, blush pink accessories and silk blouses; for patient and practical Taurus, neutral cashmere sweaters. Practical and discerning Virgos get a chic crossbody bag and watch; elegant Libras, a pearl necklace or ladylike shoulder bag). Gemini’s wanderlust is tapped into with a cotton dress and neat, travel-light bags; Aries get suggestions in their lucky colour – red.
There are no socks (or tall dark strangers) in sight. We predict it will take the hassle out of holiday season shopping.
