Madonna chose to wear customised Markus Lupfer’s S/S’12 Intarsia Jumpers for the cover of her new single ‘Give Me All Your Luvin.’ The designer joked, “It's a star for a star!"
Madonna will debut the song, which features Nicki Minaj and MIA, during American idol on the 2nd February.

Credit Buy - Annoushka's Love Diamonds
Inspired by Russian fable and fairytale, the country’s rich colours and historical opulence, Annoushka Ducas launched her fine jewellery range in 2009.
Annoushka Doucas explains, “I have tried to remove the feeling of reverence that so often surrounds the whole experience of buying and wearing fine jewellery, I want our pieces to be worn every day; to encourage women to wear their huge, glamorous cocktail rings to a party, but also to dress up their jeans.”
I love her delicate Love Diamond Collection – in particular, the horseshoe necklace (which I have long been coveting like a little magpie) and the matching bracelet...

Credit Buy - The Mulberry Harriet
Mulberry have kicked off 2012 by spoiling us with yet another beautiful bag...
After the Evelina’s short reign as the bag du jour, the Harriethas burst onto the scene and already has a gaggle of celebrity fans; Elizabeth Olsen, Olivia Palmero and Kate Bosworth have already snapped up variations of the bag, and Blake Lively (left) has been seen on the set of Gossip Girl swinging around the Harriet satchel.
Similar to 2010’s Neely, also having a lock closure and glossy leather finish, the Harriet family comes in a variety of shapes (shoulder, satchel, clutch and clutch wallet) and colours (black, navy, blush, khaki and leopard print.)

Tephi Christmas Sale
I have recently heard a lot about the beautiful dresses available from Tephi, a label started in 2009, by London based designer Chessie Grievson.
Tephi dresses (from £250-£500) are romantic, elegant and timeless - and all the pieces are named after friends of Chessie's - I particularly love the 'Pheobe' (right.) The gorgeous collection can either be bought straight off the rail at their studio or, uniquely, can be tailored exactly to your tastes with their bespoke service, "it's about offering high fashion in an intimate setting where women can come and look at the product, chat about designs, and leave with a creation that is exactly to their satisfaction."

As you may have noticed by now, I am a bit of a magpie when it comes to glittery shoes… They have an extreme magical power over me; no challenge or obstacle in the world seems unconquerable when I have twinkly toes.

Versace Hits the Highstreet
After H&M’s successful designer collaborations in the past (Stella McCartney, Lanvin, Jimmy Choo, Matthew Williamson…) I was excited to see the pictures emerge last week of Versace’s forthcoming range for the clothing giant.
I can honestly say there is not one single thing in the entire gaudy range I would wear... And then there is the men's collection which I am honestly surprised is being released on November 17th and not in time for Halloween...
It appears that when it comes to Versace lust, I'd save your pennies for the real thang.
