Owned and caressed by a mulitiude of stars including R1's Fearne Cotton, the Pixie's (Lott and Geldof!), Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss........etc.

• EXPENSIVE OPTION: They've even designed a bag called 'Alexa'. A Mulberry bag is a luxury, it's a statement and I'm pretty much sure you could wear a bin liner with one and still look belissima. The classic shape is a 'Bayswater', a golden matallic version will set you back £750, and oak coloured printed leather version£650. Okay, so it may be in a dream world. BUT you may have recently won the lottery or you may be thinking of innovative ways to wear bin liners for the rest of your life this second?

• CHEAPER OPTION:This Lady Lock bag would create the same effect at £30.00 - yes please! 

At No. 2...SOPHISTICATED LAPTOP CASES.

This one was directed at the gents initially but, thinking about it works for the ladies too. There is nothing nicer thatn a guy that pays some attention to detail, so getting out a grubby laptop wrapped in a fluffy jumper isn't really the one.

• EXPENSIVE OPTION: So I'd suggest newly designed 'H' laptop cases designed by superstar stylist Harris Elliot from £215. Very, Very sexy I say!

• CHEAPER OPTION: Laptops will cost you a mint so it's worth investing a few quid on looking after it makes sense to me? This Matt and Nat, leather manbag / laptop case is being offered at a discount of £82.00 when it usually reatils at £155.00

And finally at No.3... A LBD WITH SHOULDER PADS.

You'll be surprise to know, I don't actually like to preach, as long as you wear it well it'll likely work. BUT.. An essential trend to be embraced this A/W season is the shoulder pad! There are some wicked little black dresses with shoulder pads available at the moment. I love them, I love them a lot. I'm going to wear one to a Halloween wedding! Bring power party dressing back.

• EXPENSIVE OPTION: An exquistely flattering dress from Sportmax, it's called the 'Lando Mesh Plunge Dress', it's a grown up option (just make sure your wearing a pair of big tummy, thightneing pants underneath). It's got a subtle shoulder pads if you're a bit afraid and costs £252.

• CHEAPER OPTION: Lovin Topshop longtime, save the day with this lurex sparkly shoulder padded version atan afforadble £38.00
