Would you wear your pyjamas outside of the house? I don’t know about you but I always like to make an effort with my clothing and make sure that I look presentable. Of course I like to put on comfy clothes when I am watching television in the evening or if I’m heading out for a run - but I’m definitely a designer shoe and not a trainers girl.

This is why it surprised me to read that one Tesco supermarket has had to impose a formal dress code to stop people from doing their weekly food shop without any shoes on or from going in with their pyjamas on! Who does that?

"To avoid causing embarrassment to others we ask that our customers are appropriately dressed when visiting our store (footwear must be worn at all times and no nightwear is permitted)," said the official sign outside the store.

According to news reports this move was caused by women popping into the supermarket in their sleepwear after dropping their children off at school in the morning.

I wouldn’t put the bins out in my pyjamas! I would be worried to get in my car not properly dressed in case something happened and I had to get out!

Have you ever gone out in public with your bedtime clothing on?

Designer clothing is something that I’ve never really been able to cut back on. It is my biggest luxury spend and I believe in investing in quality pieces.

Recent research carried out by the Co-operative Bank found that 75 per cent of women in the UK were planning on being careful with their spending in 2010 - and making fewer impulse purchases.

Some 60 per cent of females said that they would be cutting back on what they spend on clothing and 41 per cent would watch what they were splashing out on accessories such as necklaces and bracelets.

And although 29 per cent said that handbags and shoes would be an area where they could save money, five per cent cited bags as an item that they would "splurge" on.

However, its good news in some cases as: "The figures also highlight that more than half of women (59 per cent) confess to buying more classic fashion pieces now, thinking about the good old theory where a cheaper item of clothing can actually be more expensive in the long run than a classic garment," revealed the study.

Recently, it was revealed that Kate Moss will be teaming up with Longchamp to create a new line of designer handbags - definitely something to splurge on!

What are your must-have luxury purchases?

When you talk about the latest fashion accessory, what immediately springs to mind? Designer handbags, shoes, scarves, jewellery …? What about braces?

I don’t mean the kind of braces that are used to keep your trousers up. No, orthodontic braces "may finally be coming into vogue" reports Wales Online.

A new kind of teeth straightening device has been invented that is less visible than traditional braces - but costs more - and aims to help people achieve the perfect Hollywood smile.

"With more media coverage focusing on appearance and celebrities, the general public feel more pressured in achieving the perfect smile," said a spokesperson for the British Dental Association.

A survey by the British Lingual Orthodontic society discovered that approximately one-fifth of adults in the UK believe they need braces.

Straight, white teeth can make such a difference to your appearance - no wonder its one of the first things celebrities have done when they have some money.

The Cosmetic Dentistry Guide stated that Cheryl Cole has undergone around £10,000 worth of work on her pearly whites and that Kelly Brook and Tom Cruise have also famously had work done on their gnashers.

Do you think braces could become a fashion trend?

Since going into the jungle on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here a few years back, Myleene Klass has been hailed as somewhat of a fashion icon. Appearing among the likes of Twiggy, Noemie Lenoir and Erin O’Connor in the Marks and Spencer adverts and snapped out and about, she has earned herself some kudos in the designer clothing world.

But what designer clothing weaknesses does she have and what are the staple items in her wardrobe?

Myleene spoke to the Daily Mail about her style and stated that she loved accessories such as bags, shoes, scarves, sunglasses and jewellery.

"I also have a couple of designer scarves from Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacobs," she said.

She added: "I love collecting sunglasses. My favourite are a pair of Linda Farrow gold aviator-style that look like they’re straight out of a 1980s movie."

However, the presenter said that she didn’t follow trends as she chooses to wear what she feels like and what she thinks looks good.

She explained that her style was "eclectic" due to items and influences she picks up on her travels and she also likes bright colours.

In December, however, she opted for a black lace dress coupled with red stilleto heels and matching lipstick when she attended the London Fashion Awards.

When you are shopping for designer clothing, handbags and shoes this Christmas, think turquoise.

This is according to the "global authority on colour" Pantone, which has named the hue the colour of 2010.

Not really a festive tone, but according to the company, it offers protection during stressful periods - definitely what we’ll all be in need of after spending so much time with the family this Christmas.

“It is believed to be a protective talisman, a colour of deep compassion and healing, and a colour of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky," explained executive director of the Pantone colour institute Leatrice Eiseman.

Turquoise, in the world of designer clothing, makes a classy and elegant statement, she added, while also being very versatile between casual and evening wear.

Pantone said that Turquoise acts as a "great accent colour" that can be used to accessorise an outfit through items of jewellery and shoes for women and in shirts and ties for men.

It even adds that it will be a big colour for weddings this year, not only for accessories and flowers, but dresses as well.

Recently, the Sydney Morning Herald named Eva Mendes as the Best Dressed star of 2009. They particularly liked her outfit that she wore to the Golden Globes - a white designer dress with an elaborate turquoise necklace.
