Jennifer Aniston Covers American Elle November


LOVE this picture of Jennifer Aniston on the cover of Elle US. The styling, the pose, the angle, the clothes…everything about it! Yes it's a tad over-Photoshopped, but what isn't these days? The main things that caught our eye were the stunning shorts from Balenciaga that we are honestly quite obsessed with and some bracelets from David Yurman that are also particularly beautiful to look at.

Did Kim Kardashian Rip Off Another Designer's Jewellery?



Well, we don't seem to think so, alas Kim Kardashian is once again accused of drawing a little too much 'inspiration' from a designer for her jewellery line Belle Noel. 

The Kardashian's were accused of copying a Monica Botkier handbag for their Kardashian Kollection for Sears and took the bag down from their website before it could properly heat up. 

The designer in question this time, is the one and only Alexis Bittar, who also used to lend Kim his designs once upon his time. His reps said that he won't be doing that anymore...

Now we've had a bit of a nosey on his website and looked at the Belle Noel collection and we've come to a conclusion. We've made this decision based on the use of our eyes and a bit of common sense and it has nothing to do with the fact that we are major Kardashian fans. We don't think the designs even look that similar; we can cook up a million examples to prove our point but what do you think?

Kate Moss Creates Jewellery Line for Fred



Kate Moss has got so many projects going on (both model-wise and designing-wise) that we bet she won't even notice if she adds another one into the mix. Mossy has created her very own jewellery collection for 'Fred', the French jewellery line owned by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy. If you're a hardcore Kate fan and think some of the designs look a little bit familiar, it's because they're actually inspired by some of her tattoos. Talk about a personal touch! 

The full 23-piece collection goes on sale on October 1st and although it will be sold predominantly in France, you can get your hands on the pieces on Fred's online boutique or, for London-based fashionistas, in Harrods. Excited?

Doutzen Kroes for Tiffany and Co Autumn/Winter 2011


Peter Lindbergh captures the gorgeous Doutzen Kroes as she poses for the Tiffany and Co Autumn/Winter 2011 campaign. This is a bit of a world away from her Victoria's Secret modelling, but then we always knew Doutzen Kroes was a versatile top model. Tyra would be proud! She owns and every shot and we particularly love the one below - she suits the 'motherly love' phrase well.

Elizabeth Taylor's Jewellery IS Getting Auctioned Off


Here's one for our incredibly wealthy New York readers: the rumours that Elizabeth Taylor's jewellery will be auctioned off in the Big Apple are true! The Hollywood legend's 269 piece jewellery collection will go under the hammer in a two-day auction period in December. Talk about a great Christmas present if you're one of the winners!

There are far too many zeros in the estimated/expected price section so we won't even bother with the numbers. We just know that all of the people who win a piece of jewellery should know that they have a priceless piece of history in their hands and they should treasure it with their hearts.

Christy Turlington For Louis Vuitton High Jewellery



We think it's safe to say Louis Vuitton have their favourites - once you get your foot in the LV modelling door, you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll set you up with campaigns for life. At least that's what we think happened with Christy Turlington; she's the face of their High Jewerllery campaign for the third year running. Well, if it ain't broke…
She's looking almost as stunning as the pieces themselves, which probably explains why they haven't messed with their advertising formula in three years. What a gorgeous team they make!

Add to Shopping Bag: Monsoon ring


Crystal ladybird stretch ring; £10; Monsoon.

Fashion Press Week Highlights: Some of the best shoes and accessories


Where to start?! Like a moth to a flame, we were instantly drawn to the beautiful shoes on display at Bourne. Leoapard? Sparkles? Pink? What's not to love?



Again, the Olga Berg bags went down very well at Fashion Compendium. We must have been magpies in a former life, surely, because the sparklier the item, the more excited we got about it. Still even the less sparkly items such as the vintage style patent shoulder bags were very well received; and at prices that are affordable to everyone, this really is a collection we'll be slowly making our way through on payday. One bag at a time.



Knomo bags will excite bloggers and travellers alike. The thing that sold us (aside from some of the glitzy ones - how much do you love the Union Jack one? National pride and sparkle all in one!) was the fact that every single one of their bags are made to accommodate laptops, as they have very protective layering inside. If you don't want people on the tube to know you're carrying a laptop, there are lots of bags to choose from that, to the untrained eye, would look just like a normal, albeit very stylish, bag. The same goes for the travel bags - very accessible external laptop pockets - genius.




The Trollbeads were another highlight! Never have we seen every single colour of the spectrum displayed in such a tiny space. Trollbeads pride themselves on letting the customer build bracelets to suit them and to reflect their lives. Each bead tells a story and the order you put them in is another personal touch. They also pride themselves on providing every single colour bead imaginable - the beads are super-lightweight too, which is always a bonus. Check out all the pretty colours and patterns:

Cheryl Cole in Vivienne Westwood pearl necklace


Some people may have been looking at the red hot dress, and of course comparing it to the red plunging dress Paula Abdul was wearing less than two feet away from her, but the thing grabbed our attention was her Vivienne Westwood necklace. Simply out of this world.

Rock My Vintage website goes LIVE



Remember a couple of weeks ago when we interviewed the lovely Beth, the founder of Rock My Vintage? Well, yesterday the official website was up and running and available for the public to look at all the gorgeous items we've had the privilege of seeing a preview of first hand. If you want to check out the website in all its glory, head to rockmyvintage.co.uk. The online fashion boutique features everything from full-on vintage items to inspired vintage items at just a fraction of the price.

We're really excited about this, as it can sometimes be quite difficult to find vintage stuff all in one place and at such good prices - especially online. We love how the items are categorised by style and by era. Want colour block style from the 40s? No problem! There was definitely a gap in the market, but Rock My Vintage has filled it quite nicely. Now, what to make our first purchase…..Decisions, decisions!

Giles Deacon for Nine West



Preview pictures of the highly anticipated collaboration between Giles Deaon and Nine West are finally here. Jewellery, handbags and of course, lush shoes. This has certainly whet our appetite for the collection. 

We are looking forward to yet another affordable collection, and we hope that since the sisters Middleton stepped out in High street the day after the wedding of the century, more High street collaborations will slowly begin to emerge.

Jessica Alba named Piaget ambassador



Jessica Alba has been unveiled as the new ambassador for Swiss jewellery and watch brand Piaget. The beautiful actress's first task as the face of the brand was to star in the adverts for its Possession collection. The campaign was photographed by Patrick Demarchelier and styled by Brad Goreski (Rachel Zoe's former assistant, if you must know!) 




The campaign features six different pictures, each of which portray a different side to Jessica Alba, including chic and casual to sharp and sexy.

Anna Jagodzinska for David Yurman S/S 2011

Last week we showed you Kate Moss's David Yurman ad campaigns for the Spring/Summer collection, and now it's the turn of Anna Jagodzinska to do the honours. Showcasing some truly stunning jewellery, the model does a fab job.

Kate Moss in David Yurman S/S campaign



More Kate Moss news today, but not a single bunny rabbit in sight! Peter Lindbergh captures the supermodel flashing some of the brand's finest jewellery pieces, including a stunning linked chain glitzy necklace which is to die for! 




Tiffany Spring/Summer campaign


Louise Pedersen plays the part of the blushing bride in the outdoor wedding ceremony photographed by Peter Lindbergh. Clearly a wise move making the most of the wedding theme whilst the Royal Wedding is a hot topic.

Amanda Holden promotes £117million EuroMillions rollover



The beautiful Amanda Holden looks on top form in these promo shots for this week's EuroMillons, which has a staggering rollover of £117 million.

Her jewel encrusted outfit in the first picture all of a sudden becomes very relevant - a girl can sit and dream of all the jewellery that much money could buy all day…
