Christmas shopping online is bewildering. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I find the choice and scale of it all overwhelming. Twenty minutes on Not on the High Street or Etsy fries my brain. I all too often end up ditching my shopping cart in the middle of the virtual aisle and having to go lie down in a darkened room.

I love cats. I really do. Some would say it’s a rather unhealthy obsession. A grown woman who wears cat earrings? They were a gift, if you must know. A Hello Kitty cosmetic bag? It’s from Liberty, bitch. A cat print dress?! I always claim the cat mug in the office kitchen when there’s a tea run. I have a cat egg timer in my kitchen, cat magnets on the fridge and a cat brooch. Every single birthday I am treated to an array of cat-related cards. And no, it never gets old. To the innocent byst...

This weekend I spent my time in a classroom at the Guardian learning all about how to appreciate film. In this class, it was mentioned by a rather beardy, cynical film journalist that Marilyn Monroe probably wouldn’t be seen as such a big deal nowadays. Why? He said that her fame was down to what was fashionable at the time, and by 2011 standards, she wouldn't be held up on such a high pedestal.

Next Thursday sees the launch of one of H&M’s most hyped up designer collaborations - Versace for H&M. On November 17th, both in-store and online, hordes of people (both male and female) will be able to get their paws on Versace’s charmingly garish prints and designs at more affordable prices (prices start at £24.99 for a scarf).

I’m not usually one to care about what celebrities are wearing or whether they’ve been spotted wearing such-and-such’s brand - however, Katy Perry’s Beans on Toast ring from last night’s EMA was amaaaaazing.The ring is from the fantasticly awesome Punky Allsorts, who are no stranger to celebrity customers. Katy Perry not only loves their

I have a love/hate relationship with credit cards. After receiving my very first Visa at the tender age of 18, I ran rampant with it, acquiring department store cards, a Mastercard and even an Amex to round off my collection at the age of 21. Disastrous.More than a decade later and I’ve finally learnt my lesson - credit cards are the devil. Best stick to paying with cash and only buying what you can afford. Nothing dampens a good mood faster than a call from a collection agency. Which ...

Drinking boxed wine used to be some sort of wine-snobbery faux paus. While many, many people like to enjoy a glass of wine from a bag stuffed inside a cardboard box, not everyone will admit to it. However, it appears that drinking your vino out of a box is now fashionable if it's well disguised inside a handbag.

Hollywood’s remake of the brilliant Swedish adaptations of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series is rather arrogant, if not absurd. But now H&M have decided to take the absurdity to a whole new level.

Leather be it in the form of skirts, jackets or the dreaded legging – never a replacement for trousers, ladies – is back and in a big way. It may not be the most flattering of fabrics, VPL is the just the start, but it’s an AW11 essential to covet. Seen on the catwalk of Louis Vuitton, Giles and Mugler – to name a few – leather had a greater fetish appeal than in previous seasons.
