Many Ladies hope Santa brings them all the fashion goodies they

The race is on, ladies, to make like Santa and wrap and deliver all those presents in time for the big day on Friday. I don't know about you, but I need to get a move on!

And, just in case Santa is reading this, top of my Christmas wishlist is a Chanel bag.

Yes, I know I've mentioned this before - and I know these bags don't come cheap - but my argument is that it's a "forever" purchase. Right, Santa?

Then for the results show I slipped into a dramatic full-length strapless sequinned dress by hot new designer Rachel Gilbert, with fab jewels by Astley Clarke.

After 14 weeks of tans, tears and tantrums on the show, we saw people's champions Chris and Ola take home the glitter ball trophy, while heart-throb Ricky Whittle had to make do with being runner-up.

It was probably the closest fought final we've ever had.

We've also seen love blossom this series, not once but twice, with sweethearts Ali and Brian and of course sizzling Strictly couple Joe and Kristina.

So, now I've got my party outfit sorted, I'm looking out for something warm to combat these arctic conditions. I'm hunting down a pair of knee-high sheepskin boots - Made In Australia has some fab crystal-studded ones.

And, talking of clothes with a bit of bling, I got to wear two gorgeous dresses for the Strictly final on Saturday night. For the first show I wore an oyster silk dress by Petit S***pe, accessorised with a crystal-studded belt specially made by the show's costume designers Chrisanne - it was embellished with 1,000 Swarovski crystals.
