When you roll out of bed on Christmas morning and make
your way down the stairs of your parent’s house in the sub-
urbs, the most important thing on your mind is comfort. Mom
pours you a mimosa, dad hands you a present to unwrap,
and as your beautiful dog snuggles up beside you, you take
comfort in the fleece housecoat that envelopes you.
As we prepare for every minute detail of that precious mo-
ment that comes once a year, it becomes apparent how
calculated our decision making when it comes to Christmas
pajamas has really become.
So what are the top picks from our angels?

PAJAMAS
Cartoon Characters
Is it Nostalgia? Or maybe our childhood selves may have
found themselves deprived of such cherished merchandise
growing up and now live vicariously through our adult bod-
ies. Either way, Sailor Moon, Hello Kitty, and Spiderman,
come to me.
Turtle Necks
Traditionally sleepwear is low cut to prevent breathing from
becoming restricted while in bed. However- if you can find a
loose fitting turtle neck, step your game up and invest. Not
only will it make for warmer nights when the radiator breaks,
but it is a scientifically proven fact that angels prefer the cut.
OUTDOORS
DIY PATCHES we can’t help but notice how popu-
lar the trend of embellishing winter toques with slogans and
logos has become. Everyone from Chanel to Harmony Kar-
ine is doing it. As much as we love the look, choosing your
own patches has always been half the fun for us, so why
let someone else do it? Tracking down interesting patches
can be hard and expensive these days, however if you go
onto ebay you will find suppliers that sell patches for loose
change in bulk or in singles.
For the toque or headband itself, we recommend China
Town surpluses, Honest Ed’s and most discount retailers.

Remember when your family unwrapped your first super

not honour that memory in the coziest way possible? Graph-

Say goodbye to old fashioned taste
Say hello to my newest “ting”. Why sacrifice your cuteness
in order to remain acceptable to your grandmother’s gener-
ation? Will she even be there this December when you and
the girls go out for the night on tinsel town? Probably not.
Get those killer heels on girl, it’s your time to spike, sparkle
and shine.

We have decided that it is time for red and green to go! Our
solution though? Just add blue! By using the same base
colours and tinting them with blue, we feel like it transforms
winter back into a wonderland. Nothing says whimsical like
pastels, let alone when they’re donned by the angel at the
top of your tree.

RED+Blue= Purple
It’s one of our best kept secrets that jade pairs perfectly with
purple, and we’re glad to finally share it with our angels just
in time for the holiday season. Look to pair your accessories
with your party clothes based on this pallet, and see the joy
your cuteness heralds.
