Lucky me — I've just seen the items from Paul & Joe's newest Spring 2009 Sparkles Collection. Not to be confused with their Spring 09 Colour Collection, Sparkles is limited edition and it consists of two fabulous shimmery lipsticks (£14 each) and two, three-pan eye shadow palettes (£28 each).
The lipsticks come in Opening Night, a pearlized pale pink and Backstage, a golden beige.
January Must Haves: New Year, New Goodies!
I hope that 2009 brings you a year of health, wealth happiness and all the goodies that your heart desires! After my hours upon hours of time spent Christmas shopping, it was hard not to covet a few items for myself. Browse this slideshow to see some of this years must-have beauty items — enjoy!
Paul & Joe's Disney Magic
I just couldn't resist telling you about this sweetly chic collection. Now while I'm not really a Disney fan, I've completely fallen for Paul & Joe's pretty set. The illustrations of Bambi, Lady and the Tramp and Aristocats have an old-fashioned air that's sure to create more than a touch of nostalgia for the days when all you wanted in life was to be a Disney Princess.
Paul & Joe's Boudoir Beauty Gifts
I know it's only October, but already all the big beauty brands are starting to introduce their Christmas gift packages in stores across the country. I'm head over heels in love with these beautifully feminine gift sets (£35 each) from Paul & Joe. The pretty sets are now available from asos.com, Fenwicks and Harrods.
Trend Alert: Alternative Nails
First it was chipped nail polish, then the dark black shades of Goth Glam, and now alternate shades of nail varnish on fingernails is being tipped (ahem, excuse the pun) to be the latest trend.
Model Jodie Kidd and pop star Christina Milian have both been spotted mixing it up, lately. Christina has been contrasting very dark and pale colours together as well as different shades of brights.
Trend Alert: Metallic Nails
On the Autumn/Winter runways at Chanel, Galliano, Prada, and Dior, the mood was all about dark, soft goth appeal and gutsy, edgy glamour.
Nails were darkly metallic, in shades of burnished bronze, glossy crimson, steely silver and shimmering black. After summer's love affair with bright lights, bold colour varnishes – such as canary yellow or bright orange – autumn's mood is more grown-up.
A Quick Tip About Splitting Nails
Splitting nails looks messy and is super annoying when you're trying to grow your talons. Look at your diet, if you're not eating enough protein that could be part of the problem. Secondly, make sure you're buffing your nails correctly, and not being overly harsh.
Trend Alert: Cat Print T-shirts
This may seem like a slightly crazy trend but it is definitely a catwalk item that will easily transfer to the High Street. Cat print t-shirts appeared on the catwalk at Paul & Joe (left) as a t-shirt dress but you can get shorter versions on the High Street.
Large t-shirts worn as a dress have an obvious '80s feel although teaming with bright colour sandals makes the look more contemporary.

Look for Less: Paul & Joe Sister Tunic
Knitwear is always on trend for Autumn/Winter, especially in the UK where we're forced to layer up to prepare ourselves for the constantly changing weather pattern.
This season at Paul & Joe Sister we see the nautical trend from Spring take a slightly more subtle turn for this Tolstoi tunic sweater (£100). It's one of those items that looks so cosy and warm that you can imagine a cool winters day spent at home wrapped up in it with a pair of leggings and thick socks.
Online Sale Alert: ASOS
ASOS has always been the place to pick up a bargain or two but sale time makes the whole shopping experience a whole lot more enjoyable!
As well as reduced priced items from their own range, there are also plenty of designer items for less including pieces by Twenty8Twelve, YSL and Pepe Jeans. The only problem is, that there's almost too much stuff to get through!
