Christmas Cath Kidston style
I have a small obsession with Cath Kidston and although I try not to go too often on my last visit I spent far too much. I went in for the new London iPhone 4 case which I duly purchased. However her Christmas range is starting to creep into the stores and I couldn’t resist….
