Stars support Jimmy Choo H&M launch

Stars support Jimmy Choo H&M launch

The stars came out in full force this week to attend the launch party for Jimmy Choo’s first ever collection of clothing, which is set to be made available exclusively at high street giant H&M.

And in order to show their support by helping Jimmy Choo boss Tamara Mellon plug the hotly-anticipated line, most of those in attendance donned at least one of the designs to show just how fabulous they look on.

Heroes star Hayden Panetierre went for the black sequined bomber along with this season’s must-have black leather treggings, which were a particular hit among guests at the Hollywood bash.

She accessorised the sexy ensemble with the zebra-print studded bag with a chain strap that absolutely everyone is talking about.

Meanwhile, Hollywood heiress Paris Hilton stepped out in what must be one of the lowest price ensembles she has ever donned - the £39.99 black plunge-neck jumpsuit.

"I already love H&M but the fact that they are doing Jimmy Choo as well I think is amazing - the purses, the shoes, everything," she said.

"The clothes are so cute. They have so many fabulous things and I can’t wait to get the whole collection."

Paris is clearly a girl after my own heart as although designer clothing is my true poison, I cannot wait to get my hands on some of the pieces from the Jimmy Choo high street collection!

Do you think this line will prove to be just as popular as the likes of Christopher Kane for Topshop?

Charlize Theron - a red carpet pro

Charlize Theron - a red carpet pro

I don’t think anyone could forget that stunning gold sparkling and slinky Gucci gown worn by actress Charlize Theron when she scooped the Academy Award for her outstanding performance in Monster back in 2004. She made fashion history in that amazing designer dress as one of the most stylish and elegant numbers to be worn to the Oscars.

So, it should come as no surprise that now, five years later on, the 34-year-old Hollywood heavyweight is still making waves on the red carpet with her style choices.

She attended the 13th Hollywood Awards Gala during Hollywood Film Festival this week in a completely knockout dress.

The little strapless black lower thigh-skimming number not only accentuated the former South African model’s perfect hourglass figure to perfection, but it also proved that she can do demure sophistication and still look jaw droppingly sexy.

If you look closely, the dress seems to be spilt in two tones - matte and shiny - which shows that the star really has her finger on the pulse when it comes to what’s hot in fashion right now - black leather.

But what struck me most about this look was Charlize’s cunning accessorising. She donned a fabulous pair of designer shoes - crimson-red platforms with crystal-encrusted toe caps - along with a well-coordinated deep scarlet clutch bag.

Being the fashion pro that she is, Charlize was aware that was enough and so decided against wearing any jewellery, leaving her neck, ears and wrists bare. Beautiful.

What do you think about this look?

New Furla handbag line to rival the classics

Whether your own personal designer handbag brand of choice is Dior, Chanel, Mulberry or Fendi, no one can deny that accessories label Furla has been doing pretty well over recent years to build up quite a firm following - and at half the price of the favourites.

While granted, nothing could ever beat the fabulous luxe designs that we have come to associate with the aforementioned labels, Furla has managed to produce something completely unique and innovative within the high-end spectrum.

Taking a step away from the usual (and much-loved) heavy leather used in winter collection handbags, the label has gone all hi-tech and produced a range that is both stylish and sensibly practical.

The limited edition Down bag is set to be launched next week and is reportedly perfect for us UK fashionistas. The aesthetics are bang-on-trend, combining a sporty yet futuristic material with a slouchy and oversized shape.

And I’m not the only the one who thinks the bag is fabulous. Marie Claire has described it as "plumpy perfection", adding: "Made of waterproof micro polyester, [it’s] so light you’ll hardly realise you’re carrying [it] - makes a change from the tonne of leather we’re normally toting around."

Apparently the line has been priced to range from £75 to £110, but keep an eye out for future offers here at Secret Sales if you want to save a penny or two!

Which is your favourite designer handbag label?

Kate Moss upstages the bride at friends’ wedding

Choosing an outfit to wear to a friend’s wedding or child’s christening used to be more of a chore than it is today. Finding something that was adequately appropriate while at the same time sexy and akin to your personality was not always easy, but all that has changed now. When it comes to occasionwear, there are no longer any rules.

Just ask our favourite supermodel Kate Moss, who was snapped attending the wedding of Jess Hallett and Pietro Birindelli in Italy over the weekend.

She donned a bright red thigh-skimming chiffon designer dress, with self-styled asymmetrical sleeves, flowing ribbons and a cinched-in waist - so much for trying not to upstage the bride!

As if the dress wasn’t fabulously daring enough, the ever-rebellious fashionista shunned the usual designer shoes with skyscraper heels and a pristine salon-styled updo in favour of a pair of black leather pumps and a messy blonde bun.

She rounded off the look with a black leather clutch bag, a gorgeous sun-kissed tan and a big smile on her face, which I must confess, we here at Secret Sales HQ were surprised to see!

But for me, the star of the wedding had to be little Lila Grace, who really looked like a chip off the old block. The seven-year-old donned a white lacy minidress - just like something her mum would wear - along with some very fashionable silver strappy gladiator sandals and the trademark Moss blonde tousled hair.

What’s the most daring outfit you have worn to a wedding?

Tess Daly outshines Strictly contestants

The new series of the X Factor may have started on ITV1 last Saturday night, but that can only mean one thing - Strictly Come Dancing is about to return too. And while all eyes should have been on the lineup of the show’s celebrity contestants when they were unveiled today, I couldn’t help but notice just how fabulous the show’s hostess Tess Daly was looking.

I’m not talking about her amazing post-baby weight figure or the related criticism she has endured for it, rather, the 38-year-old blonde bombshell looked absolutely stunning thanks to the very bold - and brave - designer dress she chose to wear.

Bright pink is certainly not my cup of tea, but given the occasion and the glitzy and glamorous nature of the show Tess stepped out to promote, she ticked all the style boxes on my list and even managed to upstage the contestants who are supposed to be at the centre of attention!

The mum-of-two accessorised the thigh-skimming minidress with cute capped sleeves with a very on-trend black and silver studded waist-cinching belt. She added a pair of black cut-out shoe boot heels to add just that extra bit of rock’n'roll edge, which looked fabulously edgy juxtaposed with the girly dress. And, to top the look off, Mrs Vernon Kay sported an oversized crocodile skin bowling bag, the sheer size of which made her look even more petite than she already is!

Like I said before, I’m not a huge fan of the pink sported here by Tess, but are there any colours that you simply refuse to cave in to?
