Celebrity trend: Tailored dress, updo and cape combo.

A Modern day Holly Golightly look. Just add some Tiffany silver.

New designers at Net-a-porter.

Here are some of our favourite designers that have just arrived onto Net-a-porter.

VICTORIA BECKHAM:
Stop swooning and start saving for a piece of Victoria Beckham, now online at Net-a-porter. I honestly cannot stop staring at the fabulous tailoring and luxe fabrics. Vicky Beckham has just made it into my list of "favourite celebrities turned designers". Any thoughts?

JASON WU:
After Michelle Obama wore a dazzling white one shoulder gown by Jason Wu at the official Inaugural party, there were many positive and negative comments about the dress. Oh well, Net-a-porter has picked up Wu and this has just proven that all publicity is good publicity.

DESIGNERS REMIX:
I love, love, love this label! The designs have elements of chic, runway and haute couture at a surprisingly affordable (but still slightly expensive) price. Inspired by fabric textures and the creation of origami pieces for the garment designs, this label has got to be one of my top favourites right now.

BALMAIN:
After the success of the Spring/Summer 08 show, who wouldn't fall in love with the luxe eighties inspired pieces by Balmain? Expect fitted blazers and edgy ripped denim complete with diamantes and intricate beading. A win-win combination, any day.

Naturally there is more wonderful designers who have just been picked up but we promise to get back to it soon...I mean, it's now officially obvious that we have some serious online shopping to do right now.

At the Armani Store Soiree.

We're Loving the Luella.

It's cute, it's chic, and it's runway fresh. The Iconic team are loving the new Luella dresses available on net-a-porter. The dresses are so sweet and tea party friendly, not to say that they are super cute pieces to add whimsicality to any wardrobe. There is a clear playful essence which makes them seem perfect with a cute oversized feathery headpiece, a pair of satin ballet flats (screw Gladiator heels-we're so over them), and a pair of Chanel pearls to make the look complete for whimsical romance looks. Wear with a sense of humour for that added personality and its good to go.

So hot right now: YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick.

Honestly I don't spend as much on make up as I do on clothes and shoes. I mean, I do have my Lancome Hypnose mascara, Giorgio Armani khol pencil and the occasional M.A.C lipgloss here and there. It's quite a generic mix of cosmetics and I only refill when I really need to. Anyways, I received a gift voucher for a local department store and for once, instead of splurging on a pair of YSL heels (like I really wanted to), I sidekicked and went straight into the beauty and cosmetics department and before I knew it, I was toting the latest Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte lipstick in brightest of all brights- a total change from my regular nude and smokey eyes look.

So if you ever see a girl wondering around the fashionable streets of Sydney wearing the brightest orange (red temptation) or fuschia (rose cutie) listick in the world with a new choppy designer fringe and the latest Balenciaga heels, don't throw rocks. It's just the new me that I'm loving right now.
