Georgie_Bradly_EditorI don’t know about you but I’m smiling from ear to ear with this weather we’re having. While we haven’t quite reached boots weather yet, our jumpers can definitely see the light of day again! And on that note of change, I’ve stepped into the editor’s heels (well, I’m a loafers girl really) at Woman This Month and am having a ball putting the pages together.

Being the month of keeping up appearances, we’ve got you covered on the wardrobe front with a hot line-up of ideas on how to add a touch of Christmas to your look. As we cover all the festive essentials, we chat with fashion designer, Amal Al Mulla about her latest fall/winter collection and how she, a barely-out-of-university designer, has already got Paris at her fingertips.

As the year comes to a close, everything seems to mount up – festive gatherings go well into the night, work swamps your desk and the pressure of gift-giving becomes more of a burden than a happy occasion. But as James Claire shrewdly points out in ‘He Says’, people of all faiths should adopt a new philosophy for the season. Take the seven principles of Bushido and restore a pinch of peace into your life and step into the new year with a balanced outlook.

Happy holidays!
