Stars Walk The Victoria's Secret 2009 Red Carpet We mentioned a few weeks ago that Michelle Trachtenberg (most recently on our screens in Gossip Girl, but always remembered by me for playing Dawn in Buffy) was going to be collaborating with the jewellery and accessory brand Coach on a jewellery line. We're not sure whether the line will be available in the UK, but we're crossing our fingers, because we love the 'Holiday Bee' collection that's available in the US now before her full line is launched.

You can lust after these edgy but cute designs now - we're especially loving this bracelet that mixes hardware with the unexpected colour combination of sky blue and yellow Swarovski crystals. One thing we can't decide is whether it would look better on Blair or Serena...

Gallery: Christmas stocking fillers

Comments (0)

We've all got one present in mind that we would love to see under the Christmas tree this year.

But being girls, we also expect that little more, putting up a stocking for all the little things we need but failed to treat ourselves with.

However, since its also the time of giving they'll also be friends that are in need of these little things too.

We've therefore put together a gallery of stocking fillers that will not only be perfect for your list but also as little gifts for your friends.

Gallery: Stylish Winter hats

Comments (0)

According to many, the place where you loose the most heat is through your head.

We don't know if this is an urban myth, but one thing we're sure of is that we'll try anything to ensure we stay warm over the freezing winter season. And were not alone, with many celebs including Cheryl Cole sporting a range of hats to keep their barnets and brains warm.

So we've decided to put together a gallery of hats, which will not only keep you warm but also look stylish, meaning you won't be embarrassed to leave it on if you suffer from the dreaded hat hair.

We know wearing a cycle or scooter helmet isn't overly sexy and it can mess up your hair but that's no excuse to go without, especially when you consider the consequences.

Ok, we'll stop with the preaching now and tell you instead about a scooter helmet you won't be making excuses to wear.

Karl Lagerfeld has launched, what we think is every princesses dream. First seen at the designers 2009 catwalk show, this little gem comes laced with pearls and also has iPod hookups.

It's available now but, as always there's a downside. Not only are there only 12 in the world but they also cost a whopping $1,805 to $6,837.

We've therefore put together a gallery of other fashionable scooter and cycle helmets, which you won't be complaining about wearing.

Filofax Beauty Box _pink_.jpgA girl can never have too many clothes, bags and shoes, but we know that this Christmas it's going to be hard to put everything we want onto our lists. If, like us, you want to give Santa a break, and get yourself organised then we've found a perfect Christmas list must have.

The limited edition Filofax Beauty Giftbox is everything a girl on the move could wish for. Each Giftbox contains a unique perfume pen atomiser, and a mirror and of course a chic Filofax organiser.

The organisers come in a hot pink leather-look, an oatmeal 'snakeskin' design or the bang on trend ultra-kitsch 'Fresco' fabric and each one contains a 2010 diary, dividers, address pages and notepaper. And if that wasn't enough you'll also get the chance to indulge your inner goddess with a free beauty treatment, haircut or photographic shoot.

Treatments include facials, massages and manicures (worth £25); a haircut and finish (worth £40); or you can choose to live like a model with a complete fashion makeover session including make-up, hair and a photographic shoot (worth £100.).

We think this is an amazing gift for £35 and if we're lucky Santa may not just deliver it early (hint hint) but also find some loose change in his pocket for those shoes and bags we've been banging on about for the past few weeks.

Stacey Solomon.jpg Stacey's outfit for her X Factor performance on Saturday reminded us a lot of a bridesmaid's outfit - her dress was even designed (and custom made) by a bridal wear designer, Suzanne Neville. The full-length bronze corseted dress was chosen to fit in with the epic song choice, we're sure, but it didn't provide us with much style inspiration, unlike last week's wet-look leggings. Unless you're planning on getting married.

Her jewellery was eyecatching, though, and it turns out that the diamond earrings, bracelet and ring she was wearing were worth a massive £100,000. She used jewellery rental service Rent Your Rocks, and us mere members of the public who can't afford to splash out £54,795 on a diamond cuff can use their services too, which cost from £50. So if you've got a special occasion coming up, you might be interested in borrowing some jewellery you'd never be able to afford normally - or you could just go to Topshop and pick up a diamante-encrusted cuff instead. Because, let's be honest, who's going to tell the difference.

This season's stylish watches

Comments (1)

Whatever trend you decide to follow this year, a smart or casual outfit would not be complete with a watch.

Over the years, these time keeping accessories have grown from plain to a full blown fashion statement with more and more designers focusing on these every season, and unless you own a Rolex (we know how much they must cost) we think its only right that you change this accessory with the rest of your clothes every season.

We've put together a gallery of this seasons top watches to help you tell the time in style.

Vision - Star.gifYou may be wondering why we've featured a fashionable umbrella gallery. We know what you're thinking; an umbrella is a an umbrella right? It doesn't matter what colour it is as long as it does the job. Well that's where you're wrong.

Many years ago, having an umbrella that matched your outfit, or had some fashionable connotations was just as important as having the right bag or shoes for an outfit.
Although this trend has simmered out over the years (unless you live in Japan, which has carried this trend on) many of us still find it important to do this.

We give you a few tips to ensure your umbrella makes as much as a statement as the rest of your outfit.

Gallery: Quirky, fun and fashionable umbrellas

It's that time of year again. The nights get darker, the wind a little stronger and the rain plummets down whenever it possibly can. Yes, that's right, winter is well and truly settling in.

While we can deal with the darkness (there's street lamps for that) and the wind (that's what winter coats and gloves are for) the rain is a different matter completely.

Not only does it soak the bottom of our jeans and seep through the tiny holes in last years boots but it also plays havoc with the hair.

We have a look at the top fashionable and quirky superhero umbrellas defending against our winter rival.

Bra.jpgWhen we're shopping for the day, bra fitting isn't really a priority on our list with many of us more worried more about fitting our bottom into those size 8 trousers rather than bosoms into a bra.

However, Debenhams wants all of that to change. It's launched a campaign to help us find the ultimate bra for our size and shape. According to the department store bra's that don't fir properly can lack support and be uncomfortable. It's therefore inviting us girls in for a free appointment where specialist fitters will measure you up before asking about your lingerie taste and finding you a perfect set.

And with Christmas fast approaching we think it will make a perfect surprise for your other half.

We've got through the "what do I wear" nightmare from Halloween, but we all know nothings ever easy in the world of fashion and styling.

With bonfire night fast approaching and an abundance of firework displays taking place over the weekend, which is said to be in temperatures of double figures, we know you'll be fretting how to look warm, yet fashionable at the same time.

We've therefore put together a gallery of accessories to ensure you look the belle of the bonfire ball this year.

Sienna Miller has long been one of our favourite style icons.

She bought the boho look to the mainstream market and done so well as a fashion icon that she also has her own fashion label, Twenty8Twelve, which she created with her sister.

And we'll sure you'll agree that once again the boho beauty looks stunning as she strolled the streets of NYC's West Village last Friday.

We love her pup Bess, but what's really caught our eye is her gorgeous handbag.

We did a little bit of handbag investigation work and found out that this little gem is the creation of designer Katherine Kwei.

You can get your hands on this Joyce Carry-All, calf and lambskin bag for $625. Put at the top of your Christmas list now.

Storm.JPGA new fashion season not only means new clothes but also new accessories too. That's why we we're thrilled to hear about Storm's new premium Range of watches for autumn/winter 2009.

Storm Black is a small capsule collection made up of three glamorous ladies watches, which the company intends to build on every season (we see we're going to be spending a small fortune on watches from now on).

The watches in are said to be made from luxurious materials such as diamonds, enamel, ceramic and stainless steel and differs to the main collection in that all the watches will have Swiss movement and faces made from sapphire crystal glass.

However, they don't come cheap prices range from £250 to £350

Jimmy Choo PEP.jpgGet your hands on some Jimmy Choo accessories without feeling guilty about spending.

The shoe designer has teamed up with the Elton John AIDS Foundation to create the 'PEP-up Shop' featuring a host of limited edition Jimmy Choo products, made especially for the project.

The event, which takes place at Selfridges from Friday 30 October, will only last for 72 hours (yes we'll be queuing from dawn too), and will include exclusive products such as a cuff, ID-tag and a mobile strap.

And, as we told you before, you won't need to feel guilty about spending as Jimmy Choo will donate 25% of the sales of the Project PEP capsule collection directly to the Simelela centre. This will give victims access to vital life saving treatments that have to be administered within the first 72 hours of exposure to HIV. We see it as giving our annual charity donation early.

And it doesn't end there. The designer has also created website and is asking everyone to upload photos of themselves wearing their Choo's, as part of a campaign entitled 'You, Your Shoes and 72.'

Images will be showcased at the global launch of Project PEP at Selfridges and 100 of the best pictures will win products from the Jimmy Choo capsule collection.
