The Sezane Gift Shop: My Top Picks | AD

And OF course the Milo Bag is in there…

This post contains ad affiliate links (denoted by a ‘*’) & gifted items (denoted by ‘ad - gifted). You can read my full disclaimer here.

The Sezane Gift Shop* is open and today I thought I’d share with you some of my tried and tested top picks. Of course the whole website is ripe for festive gifting, but today I’ve pulled together an edit of my favourites and also picked out my top picks that I can personally vouch for. Whether it’s for your friend, family member or a Secret Santa receiver, I feel like there is something for everyone here. Oh and P.S) If you’re after the jumpsuit I’m wearing in these photos, it’s this one*.

BAGS

Look accessories are one of the categories where I feel like Sézane really excels. If you want me to point you in the direction then I’d say that you have two choices. If you’re after something smaller, or feel like the receipt could do with a handbag that is good for evening as well as daytime when you don’t have too much to lug around – then go all in on the Milo Bag*. There is an adjustable strap but it tucks nicely under your arm and fits all your essentials in, the only thing I can’t squeeze in is a water bottle. My favourite is the natural heritage leather. If you want a real ‘everything and the kitchen sink bag‘ then it’s the Romie*. I LOVE the snakeskin effect and have worn this bag a tonne since I got it! It fits in my laptop just about and does this clever thing where it automatically closes when you pull the straps up. It’s roomy without being cumbersome and a great option if you’re in the market for a new work bag.

ACCESSORIES

Accessories are a solid choice if you’re not too sure about sizing. Who doesn’t love a scarf!? My top pick would be the Santorin Scarf* seeing as I’m trying to re-inject some leopard print flavour back into my wardrobe. I really love the Abel Hoops* too. Imagine and all black outfit, hair slicked back and these?! Absolute perfection. If you can sneak a measurement of any current belts your recipient has then belts a good choice in that they are a staple that people use in their wardrobes for years! I really love the simplicity of the Taylor Belt*, or if you’re looking for a slightly slimmer style – the Livie Belt*.

KNITWEAR

Probably what Sézane do best, you’re absolutely spoilt for choice here! The Gaspard Cardigan* is a classic and comes in 17898 different colours (ok 24), personally I’d go for the black, cream, camel or brick if you want a beautiful autumnal red. I’m a U.K size 12 and wear a M for reference. It’s just *the* cardigan and one that I always reach for. For something chunkier try the Emile Cardigan*. I have this in the black and it’s been a great layering piece as the weather cools (I’d recommending going a size down in this as it does come up rather large). My final pick would be the Betty Cardigan* which actually sits somewhere between a cardigan and a jacket almost. It really feels like an across the board crowd-pleaser.

Honestly, this is THE BEST cake I’ve ever made. A rich and moist Guinness cake (that’s basically just a very dense chocolate cake), with a CREAM CHEESE FROSTING. This is going to be my birthday cake of choice from now on. Recipe by @nigellalawson 🙌

INGREDIENTS FOR CAKE
250ml Guinness
250g unsalted butter 
75g cocoa powder
400g caster sugar 
150ml sour cream 
2 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
275g plain flour
2 ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda 

INGREDIENTS FOR THE TOPPING
300g cream cheese
150g icing sugar 
2 tsp cornflour 
125ml double cream (or whipping cream)

1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180°C/160°C Fan/350ºF, and butter and line a 23cm / 9 inch springform tin.

2. Pour the Guinness into a large wide saucepan, add the butter — in spoons or slices — and heat until the butter’s melted, at which time you should whisk in the cocoa and sugar. Beat the sour cream with the eggs and vanilla and then pour into the brown, buttery, beery pan and finally whisk in the flour and bicarb.

3. Pour the cake batter into the greased and lined tin and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Leave to cool completely in the tin on a cooling rack, as it is quite a damp cake.

4. When the cake’s cold, sit it on a flat platter or cake stand and get on with the icing. Lightly whip the cream cheese until smooth, sieve over the icing sugar and cornflour and then beat to combine.

5. If using double cream, add it and beat until you have a spreadable consistency. If using whipping cream, whisk first to soft peaks, add a couple of spoonfuls into the cream cheese mixture and once this is combined, fold in the rest.
Ice the top of the black cake so that it resembles the frothy top of the famous pint.
