For the stylish men out there, rather than pick various items from different shops i decided to focus my attention on River Island as I'm loving their menswear at the moment

1. Puffa style jackets are huge this Autumn/Winter, I totally love this slim version from River Island - £75 @ River Island

Hobo or Snob: Jimmy Choo Vs. Warehouse

1. Jimmy Choo Candy Acrylic Crocodile effect leather Clutch £595 @ net-a-porter
2. Jimmy Choo Candy Glitter Clutch £350 @ Net-a-porter
3. Warehouse Clean Structured Clutch £45 @ Warehouse

Oh dear two Jimmy Choo Posts in one day, after the classic strap sandal being given the Zara treatment, Jimmy Choo's Candy Clutch gets the Warehouse treatment, and oh yes the Warehouse Clutch is sooo Inspired by Jimmy's Candy Clutch, you'd have to be blind not to notice. I'll cut to the chase with the prices now, Jimmy's arm candy cost a whopping £595 while Warehouse's arm candy costs  £45, which in all honesty is still a little too much to spend on a plastic box, but I digress and I'm so calling Hobo on this one again, over to you readers

Get Rihanna's Billboard Award's Look

Rihanna in Max Azria at the 2011 Billboard music Awards in Las Vegas

Rihanna was without doubt the best dressed celebrity at yesterday's Billboard Music awards, she taps into this summer's White and sleek tailoring trend in her Max Azria pants Suit. While I'm not a big fan of copying everything a celebrity wears or how other public figures dress, It would be naive to think they don't in some way affect the everyday style choices of the average Laura (or insert other suitable name here) or the items stocked in your favourite clothes store, and as I am keen on building my number of readers as well as followers,  I know many Rihanna fans (I know there are lots of you out there) might wonder how to create such a look at very reasonable prices, that's where I shall employ my shopping editor expertise

For an Item like a Pant Suit which I'd view as a Key investment as they're quite versatile, plus if you invest wisely in a nice pair, you can wear the pieces separately with other key items in your wardrobe. When buying a pant's suit the most important things to look for are neat tailoring and versatility. While doing my search on what's out there in the shops the best Pants suit that jumped at me were this neat pair from Mango which I've styled below

1. Nastacia Double Suit Jacket £89.90 @ Mango
2. Nastacia Trousers £49.90 @ Mango
3. Pink Fabric Tassel Necklace £14.99 @ River Island
4. Trapeze Shirt £55 @ Warehouse
5. Patent Studded bow Heel £59.90 @ Zara
