We are head over heels in love with the Christmas stocking fillers from Lulu Guinness. This too-cute purse is the perfect giftie for best friends and sisters… or a spot of self-indulgence.
Satin zip-top purse, £50, Lulu Guinness
We have put Clive Christian perfume on our wish-list for Christmas but retailing at £115,000 a bottle, No.1 Imperial Majesty is perhaps a tad out of our price range.
Not so, however, for Katie Holmes, who is a sweet-smelling fan. The good news is that No.1 is available to us in a less expensive form starting from £415 for a 50ml Perfume Spray.
Lou Doillon is more delicious than a Prestat pink Marc de Champagne chocolate truffle, and proves that prettiness is not just her top talent.
She has signed a three-year design deal with Lee Copper to create and promote a hot-to-trot collection that will hit the shops spring 08.
Lou, 25, formerly the face of Givenchy and current Pirelli Calendar girl, is the daughter of Jane Birkin (look out for our fave Birkin bags coming soon) and stamps her fashion flair firmly on the new designs that include tiny tees, super-high waist wide-leg pants; large tops on drainpipe-skinny pants and high-waist skirts and hot pants…
Sizzling hot shots from the catwalk show should put you in the foxy Lou-for-Lee-Cooper mood. And we can feel a top-hat trend coming on…
Be biker-jacket hot when you walk out the door. Here’s two looks to suit two budgets. You decide…
K Karl Lagerfeld Naomi biker jacket, £605; Topshop boucle biker jacket, £65
Big belts are the hot trend this season but you can work the look in different ways.
This Jasmine Guinness chiffon prom dress uses a stitched-through satin waistband to nail the look. Think Scarlett O’Hara with 21st century attitude.
A little frill, a little silk and hug-me bodice makes this dress our favourite for the festive season. Love this silk wrap bodice dress with origami pleated effect underbust seam and accessorise with pillar-box red heels.
Rihanna outshines the competition on the red carpet in slippering silk green, hugging her in all the right places. She gets a great big fashion tick from us…
Green is the new black
If you can’t afford the Vivienne Westwood wedding dress as worn by Sarah Jessica Parker for Sex And The City movie, then work this Elizabeth T-shirt instead.
It is fashion faboolous. Thank you Vivienne x
Elizabeth T by Vivienne Westwood, £95
Royal appointment
We’ve been running a cover competition this morning and David and America have been singled out for fashion praise. But we saved the best for last.

Plaid is hot right now but you can bend the fashion rules to suit. We like big fat checks like this lovely one from Topshop. Think play-secretary-on-the-boss tonight and you’ve nailed the look.
