What’s new across my path in this, the first of the new year’s ON MY DESK column, for January 2016. See what’s out from Benefit, Elizabeth Arden, Ecoya candles, Trelise Cooper, Whittaker’s Kiwi chocolates, back to school, and more. Pictured above: a school holidays-inspired flatlay featuring Bombay Sapphire, Sodastream, Sugar Baby, and Essie nails.

How cool is this dinosaur papier mâché piñata triceratops from @thewarehousenz? The children are over the moon with excitement. This friendly not scary little orange horned guy is available from The Warehouse stores around $27.
