Just Purchased: Red Hamsa String Bracelet

I was intrigued by the red bracelet i'd seen on Lauren Conrad's wrist in just about every single photograph of her. When I found out the supposed meaning (to bring good luck, protect yourself from harm, and ward off evil) I figured after the month i've had I need to get myself one of these. I've heard they're very hardwearing (can handle your daily shower with you no problem) so I don't plan on taking mine off. It's very cool...when i'm wearing it I don't even notice it's there because the silk is so soft. LOVE it! Lauren has said of the bracelet "This was a gift from friends when I was having a hard time. It protects me?? I got my One of a Kind bracelet from label360 for $33 plus $5 shipping then use code L360 (20% off) to bring the total down to $31.40. I think that's the absolute cheapest you'll find it. What do you think? Love it or hate it?

Handbag Of The Week: Lamb Signature Oxford Tote

The new Lamb Signature Oxford Tote [$625] screams elegance and luxury. The 70's vintage styling and shape will not be to everybody's taste but in my mind what's not to love? The cranberry patent trim and statement gold zippers are so appealing. This is a real 'girl about town' bag for those ladies who are not scared of making a statement.

Cameron Diaz in Juicy Couture

Juicy Couture has seriously impressed me this year and their current knitwear collection really is to die for. Every piece is right on trend (babydoll cardigans, pocket tunics, cowl necks, stripes), beautifully cut and of high quality. Cameron Diaz looks absolutely stunning in this preppy stripe cardigan [$278] available in cream, black and beige. If you get the chance to see this in real life take a good look at the buttons - they are gorgeous!

Look For Less: Chanel J12 Watch

Browsing Aldo Online I came across this white metal watch currently on sale for £24.95 (FREE shipping too!). It reminds me a lot of the highly coveted Chanel J12 watch which retails for more than 100 times the price of this Aldo find. The photo of the Aldo watch isn't so clear but I imagine in real life the band is just as chunky and bright white looking as the J12. The two row diamond (ok, cubic zirconia) rim gives a very similar effect to the J12, especially from afar. It's a shame the Aldo version doesn't have the sharp black numbering to the face which I love about the J12 - this really is my dream watch. Dream being the operative word...only in my dreams would I ever own this.

Hilary Duff Keeps Her Clothes ON For FHM

The most recent issue of UK mens' magazine FHM has just hit the shelves, with Hilary Duff as this month's cover girl. Yes the shoot is sexy but it is definitely not what I'd expect from a magazine which usually displays topless shots. I wonder if FHM readers felt a little cheated to open the magazine and find Hilary very much fully clothed? The shots are tasteful, demure and wouldn't look out of place in ladies fashion mags such as Glamour or Instyle. The mini cropped leather biker jacket is right on trend and is a look that appears in the Kate Moss for Topshop collection. Good for you Hilary for not selling out and getting your kit off for money. What a great role model for young girls - this is one celebrity you won't see falling over drunk or photographed minus underwear.





Kate Winslet: Yay or Nay?

Kate Winslet attended the 16th Annual Bafta/LA Cunard Britannia Awards (now, that was a mouthful) a couple of days ago in Hollywood wearing a controversial dress.


This obviously wasn't a 'safe' choice. When presented with photographs like this I sometimes wonder what the intention behind the outfit was. Do celebrities wear off-the-wall outfits purely to cause controversy and ultimately column inches or are they simply exploring their own style and pushing the boundaries?

I'm not sure the metallic finish and texture of the gown sits well with the classic (almost frumpy) shape. I love the super-wide black patent belt (a must-have for your wardrobe) but not with this dress. The belt is too 'now' to be teamed with a shape of dress that is 'not now'. It's a bit like eating ketchup with ice cream...they just don't go well together.

What do you think? Is it a yay or nay? What elements of the outfit work and which fail miserably? I'd LOVE to hear your comments.
