Victoria Beckham’s dresses are finally available to buy online at Victoriabeckhamcollection.com, with a capsule range on sale at Selfridges’ London and Manchester stores. The rest of the collection will be available from Net-a-porter.com and Harrods from the start of January. Expect to pay from £650 upwards and, if you haven’t already seen it, check out her quirky video advertising the range - posted here - for inspiration. La Beckham even stars in the short film - though you’ll need to be quick to spot her!
Check out Madonna’s new campaign for Louis Vuitton, shot by Steven Meisel. We think she looks pretty damn incredible but then what else would one expect from the Queen of Pop? Madonna’s trademark fishnets look fab with those scarily high stilettos and we’re totally loving the brown suede bag. The six-photo campaign is, according to WWD, expected to drop in February and will replace that of Sean Connery - the current ‘face’ of Louis Vuitton.
Well if that isn’t rock chicks Kimberly Stewart, Leah Wood, and Peaches Geldof stripped naked on the cover of next month’s Tatler! And photographed by musician Bryan Adams too… How very, ummm, rock ‘n’ roll.
Kate Moss’s spring/summer 09 collection for Topshop promises a profusion of pretty floral prints as the model turned designer will be teaming up with designers at Liberty to create her next set of frocks and floaty tops.

Prices from £8, available at Topshop.com

How about kitting your baby out in mock high heels? We’re not joking - US-label Heelarious sells a range of soft ‘fake’ heeled shoes for infants (from birth to six months) and is apparently fighting to keep up with demand for the products. (Only in America, huh?!) This leopard print style has completely sold out and many other designs have limited availability, so get there fast… From $35 at Heelarious.com.

This rather strange looking object is actually a vibrating power cleanser and, believe it or not, it’s set to become the beauty must-have of 2009. The Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser is a sell-out success stateside, with four being sold every minute… And happy days - it’s now available this side of the pond, so we too can get with the wave power! But what’s the big deal we hear you ask? Well, this little baby vibrates to open up pores and emit a cool cleansing foam that deep cleans, removing more grime, oil and make up than traditional cleansing. What’s more, disposable pads are attached to the head so you can even change them to ensure it’s really really clean. What’s not to like? £12.99 from Boots.com
Uggs are here to stay. There’s no going back - the Australian sheepskin boot, handbag and outerwear store is opening its first UK boutique in London’s Long Acre today. We love these women’s Snowpeak boots, £200, available at uggaustralia.com/gb or at 39 Long Acre, London WC2.
