Gap has produced (PRODUCT) RED™ baby bodysuits. Half of the profits from these RED styles will go directly towards fighting AIDS.To promote this their Advertising campaign has been as equally social conscious in their choices of celebrities. Anne Hathaway and Wyclef Jean were chosen along with the African Children's Choir.The Campaign shot by Annie Leibovitz is sure to be another hit for GAP.

I've come across the most fab book. 'This little piggy went to Prada' is the perfect xmas gift for fashionable mummies. It will give them a chuckle whilst their youngster's run riot and the turkey slowly roasts. Full of childhood ryhmes and poems that the Author Amy Allen has given a fashion comedy twist to.

To keep the chill off their kiddies ears Stars are turning to Zooni Hats. Brooke Sheilds and Katie Holmes are to name but a few of the many celebrity mum's choosing to dress their kiddies in these adorable hats. With animal faces and shaggy style they are popular by the kids as well. My personal favourite is Leo the Lion (see picture!)

Tiny Revelotionary's have a great idea on their t-shirt designs for kiddies. They have created t-shirts that celebrate being an adpoted child.

Elle Collections is in their second edition and I love it.It's great for all those fashion students out there who want to buy those catwalk magazines but can't afford it (when they're fifty quid a pop!). For only a fiver you get loads of great pictures and that's what we want.I love the different ways they divide the images. You get colour ways for the season, a catwalk city catagory and

I come back after my little break only to find a new weekly highstreet fashion magazine is coming out, entitled 'LOOK'.Jam packed with fashion goodness their preview issue was refreshing.When I look at a fashion mag I want fashion, not adverts dispersed with fashion. Luckily 'LOOK' seems to have hit the nail on the everyday fashion head.I would appreciate a little less reliance on what the stars

Jenny Packham has designed the most wanted dress for the new Bond film, Casino Royale.

I thought I liked the Givenchy Little Black Dress worn by Breakfast at Tiffany's Star Audrey Hepburn but there is obviously someone out there with a somewhat larger wallet and desire for it than me!An anonymous telephone bidder has bid and won the dress for £410,000. What an expensive dress!

Treat yourself with something special for xmas. If you've never been to a sample sale before your in for a treat. They can be really good. You can get pieces that no one else will have or designer pieces at knock down prices. But be warned there sometimes is a lot of crap. You might find not very well made things that were tried out and rejected or pieces that are so small your big toe wouldn't

We know girls like shopping and now it is a scientific fact as well! Researchers polled 3,000 women and came up with some statistics. In Britain women throughout their lives spend on average eight years shopping. Some admitted to making around 301 shopping trips a year.

I have so many difficulties with tights.... the crotch can be too low or too tight or the legs are too long etc, etc.. But I bought some tights recently (as it was about time I invested in some new ones!) and I was really suprised. A quick last minute purchase for a night out has led me too some great tights!Try Fred and Florence at Tesco for a pack of 3 Opaque black tights (40 denier) at £3.50.
