Dear Santa

What's on your wishlist for Christmas this year? Will the recession affect your holiday spending or do you think you'll indulge, given all the great premature sales?

Dear Santa,

I've been good. Very good.

OK. Maybe not that good. But good enough for one of these. (High on my wishlist is a cozy grey cardigan and this one by Simone Shailes is spectacular.)

Shailes, the Central Saint Martins grad and knitwear sensation has come to Topshop and her loopy style is almost special enough to take the splurge for $510. But why so pricey for a high street collaboration?
