I’ve created my own little department store catalogue this year—inspired by my love for the Sears Wish Book as a child. Every Christmas I looked forward to sitting with the catalogue and going through each and every item. Often the pages with moon shoes, cute pyjamas, and microscope kits would be ripped out and taped to the fridge—I’ve never been subtle that way.
Today, my wish lists look a bit different… full of items I’ve bought and genuinely come to love—mixed in with a few things I’ve researched and plan to bring home one day. It goes without saying, everything I’ve included below is special. You know how seriously us Leos take our reputations.
Whether you’re choosing to shop this season or not, I hope you simply enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship this catalogue holds. ✨

I rarely splurge on face serum, but winter is the season I need it most.

Could go for these mini merino wool scarves in every colour honestly.
A chunky cotton cardigan from Alex Mill is the ultimate winter wardrobe staple.

I love wearing this pullover puffer for errands, hiking, and walks. It’s a soft matte colour (no shine) and lightweight.

Almost didn’t include this bra, but I have four and wear them most days. For us with larger chests who don’t want underwires—yes.
