The thought of Christmas shopping may fill us all with dread, but a new website plans to help banish those festive fears.

Jil Sander is back, and this time she’s ditching designer and taking a trip to the high street with a collection for Uniqlo.

The German designer – who left her own label in 2004 after a sour split with the Prada group – has returned to the world of fashion after five years to design a luxe for less +J collection in collaboration with high street store Uniqlo.

Mark Fast is rumoured to create a collection for high street giant Topshop.

Industry insiders have reported that the Canadian born designer may be the latest to join Topshop’s long list of big-name designers.

Well, well, what have we here? A super-shoe style statement? A glow in the dark light? Er, both, actually.

Forget kids trainers with those flashing air bubbles back in the 90’s, light-up shoes have climbed a long way up fashion’s ladder. Jimmy Choo’s latest design is a real masterpiece, that’s for sure. The heels of his gorgeous zip-up strappy ankle platforms apparently light up as you walk. Yes, really.

It’s all hush-hush and whispers here, as Hermès are rumoured to buy jewellery label Asprey.

The rumours come after the French luxury label exchanged contracts to buy Asprey’s New Bond Street store last week for £75 million, pipping Chanel to the post.

We’re sad to report that Don Fisher, the man behind the legendary denim company Gap, has died aged 81.

Following a long battle with cancer, the disease finally took its toll on the fashion legend as he died in his San Fransisco home on Sunday.

Oh, no. M&S has cut its generous returns policy back by over half.

If you’re anything as indecisive as us, you’ll be as disappointed as we are to hear news that high street store M&S has cut back their 90-day deadline to a 35-day return policy.

A mini vacation this weekend up northern California’s coast in Carmel. It was a lovely little girls weekend for my friends birthday…and boy was it chilly at night! If you ever happen to be interested in going to Carmel, I’ll warn you now the way I wished someone had warned us: prepare to PAY high prices for food and lodging, and pretty much everything else. We found out that Carmel is infamous for its high prices of course after we were there throwing down $20 per dinner plate. The weather was splendid though and I even got to dress warm. I took a cute scarf and actually kept it on my neck almost the entire trip. So well it may not quite be fall weather here in Los Angeles, we can at least get ready for it for when it finally decides to arrive. If it’s too warm to wear tights, and sweaters still, a light scarf will do the warmth trick and look stylish. I’m not really recommending a wool scarf yet, unless of course your current weather trends are already calling for one. Loop scarves will be big this season, I’ve already seen them in a few places, they kind of look like chic neck warmers basically.
