At the Tibi Fall 2010 presentation during New York Fashion Week, I was busy wondering which pieces I would want to wear from this collection next year.

Olivia Palermo (current girl crush) was also at the same presentation, but she was picking out what she wanted to wear this week.

The lucky girl has been seen during London Fashion Week wearing some key pieces from the Tibi Fall 2010 collection.

She was first spotted wearing a white Tibi pussy bow blouse and Tibi check shorts when she attended the Christopher Kane Fall 2010 presentation.

I love this photo taken by Vanessa Jackman. It’s such a cute look and it’s so well put together.

Whilst some celebs are copying head-to-toe runway looks, Olivia is thinking outside the box.

Many websites have said that Olivia wore Burberry to the Burberry Prorsum Fall 2010 presentation, but she actually wore looks from Tibi Fall 2010 collection again.

This time she wore a aubergine paillette beaded zip front jacket paired with a leather skirt. 

The look was paired with her (or should I say Alexa Chung’s) Mulberry Alexa bag.

At the Topshop Unique Fall 2010 presentation in London on Saturday, Olivia wore a Topshop Graffiti multi print mini dress by Unique.

She paired her dress with a khaki printed jacket, which shouldn’t work as it has a clashing print, but I really like this look.

All 3 looks are adorable, even though she paired them all with tights.

If you had to pick one look to put up for BDOTW, which would it be?

Celebrity Big Brother started in the UK this week.

Rather than fight it, I decided to watch from the start because it’s impossible to avoid with all the media coverage.

The so called celebs include Dane Bowers, Katie Price’s boyfriend Alex Reid, Sisqo, Stephen Baldwin, Stephanie Beacham, Lady Sovereign, Vinnie Jones and Heidi Fleiss.

The first thing I noticed when Ekaterina Ivanova aka Katia was introduced to the crowd was that she was wearing my favourite Topshop silk drape hem vest which I wore all last summer.

I love the drape hem and the watercolour print, and it appears that Stephanie Pratt does too because she was spotted wearing this top back in September whilst filming scenes for “The Hills”.

Both women layered their looks.

Stephanie added a studded waistcoat, whilst Katia made hers winter friendly by wearing her vest over a white racer-back top and with a charcoal hoodie to match her leggings.

I like the casual nature of Katia’s look so she wins for me.

Stephanie’s feels over accessorized, plus their are too many studs and grommets going on with her look.

This vest is still available to purchase online at Topshop.com.

Beyonce Knowles is currently in London to perform at the O2 Arena.

It’s not all work and no play, because Beyonce has been seen leaving the Whiskey Mist club most night with hubby Jay-Z.

Looking at what Bey is wearing, it appears she loves more than our famous nightclubs. She loves are British high-street stores, as she’s been seen sporting many pieces from ‘Reiss’, ‘New Look’ and ‘Topshop’.

My favourite look is her ‘Reiss’ white mini dress, which she paired with matching heels. She later added a ‘Reiss’ leather embellished jacket which made her look even hotter.

Can you imagine Bey in ‘New Look’?

Me neither, but that’s were she got her £20 ‘Idol’ grey dress. Not sure about that hat ?!?!?

Her last look has an edgier feel to it as Bey sparkles wearing a sequin vest, paired with Topshop sequin tapered pants.

The Reiss looks are exclusive and won’t be available to the rest of us until February next year, but seeing how fab Bey looks it will be worth the wait.

Last night I was stocking up on sweater dresses in Toshop’s Oxford Circus store when something caught my eye.

It was a Topshop brooch and corsage belt which instantly made me think of a similar belt presented on the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 runway.

It has the same black corsage detailing, and the brooch details accenting the belt to make it stand out and become instantly recognisable.

The Dolce & Gabbana belt may have set you back a few hundred pounds, but the Topshop one is only £38.

One is a wannabee singer appearing on a talent show in the UK, the other is a singer appearing on a dancing show in the US.

Both performed wearing a Topshop spot mesh dress last month within days of each other – you can check out their performances below.

X Factor contestant Stacey Solomon was the first to wear the one-shouldered Topshop dress when she performed the Etta James classic “At Last” during week 2.

She wore her dress with Pied a Terre Atessa two-tone Mary Janes, and a black sash was tied around her waist.

10 days later Taylor Swift performed her newest single “Jump Then Fall” on ABC’s ”Dancing with the Stars” wearing the same Topshop dress.

She paired her dress with black peep-toes.

The dress is made more interesting with the sash, and the Pied a Terre two tone heels perfectly complement the dress so Stacey from Dagenham wins for me.

This dress is sold-out online, but I saw some in Topshop Oxford Circus this weekend so check your local store.

The holiday season is upon us so that means we have another Kate Moss for Topshop Christmas collection to get excited about.

I was particularly in love with her Christmas 2008 collection with the sexy sequin dresses and sweeping gown, but this time Kate has given us something less predictable.

The collection consists of luxurious yet affordable oriental inspired pieces which are very sophistication.

Geisha tops, kimonos and cheongsam’s feature, but you can also get strapless party dresses for your office parties, and knits to keep you warm as temperatures plummet further.

For this collection Kate has added nightwear and lingerie which includes silky slips, vintage-style bras and panties.

The collection goes on sale today in selected stores nationwide and online at www.topshop.com.
