Beyonce’s Birkin Christmas

Dec 27, 2010 @ 3:04 pm

Jay-Z stopped by the Hermès store in New York City on Christmas Eve, and reportedly spent $350,000 on Birkin bags and other gifts for his wife, Beyonce Knowles, according to Page Six. If his whole shopping spree was just for Beyonce, than she definitely had a happy holiday weekend! How about you—what was the best thing you received for the holidays this year? Family time and good cheer? An amazing pair of shoes? Cashmere-lined gloves? (The last one was our personal holiday fave.) Tell us in the comments!

Your New Year’s Champagne options are getting fashionable and festive. Moet & Chandon’s customizable bottles (with Swarovski crystals!) are now available in magnum sizes, so there’s more room for your message ($189.95, MyMoet.com). DKNY created a limited-edition pair of rubber boots to match the label of a Veuve Clicquot bottle, perfect for those of you celebrating in less-than-ideal weather ($98, DKNY stores). And Dom Pérignon partnered with the Andy Warhol Foundation to create a tribute bottle to the late artist, who was reportedly a fan of the storied bubbly. The Design Laboratory at Central St. Martin’s School of Art and Design in London created the Warhol-style silkscreen, and the tribute bottles are available for $150 at select liquor stores.

Hilary Swank Is Working on a Clothing Line

Dec 27, 2010 @ 11:04 am

Hilary Swank‘s great style may be coming to a store near you. The Oscar-winning actress is working on an activewear clothing line, WWD reports, which means the designs will be as functional as they are fashionable. The sports lover, avid runner and former gymnast is working with DMA Designers Management Agency to create the line, and is currently searching for designers to partner with to develop the collection. Ideally for us, it would come out in 2011, because we’ve got gym-oriented New Year’s resolutions! Plus: Check out the best of Hilary Swank’s 2010 red-carpet style in the gallery.

Our Top Picks for 2011 Designer Planners

The countdown to 2011 is officially on! And what better way to kick off a stylishly organized year than by treating yourself to a new planner. (Yes, these are still available, despite your smartphone/iPad/Outlook!) Our pick: The Smythson Panama Diary, $205, which features a cover illustration by rising Scottish designer Holly Fulton (inset). Fulton, who won the 2009 British Fashion Award for emerging talent, admits she’s addicted to her own planner: “I actually use two planners—one to keep me right and one to keep everyone at the studio right,” she told InStyle.com. “If we lose either of them, it’s chaos!” Fulton uses her personal planner as a date, sketch and address book. “Like having a wallet you love, your diary will be with you every day, so it’s important to get one that stimulates you aesthetically when you see it.” Check out our gallery to find the right 2011 datebook—at the right price—for you.
