love Topshop. Everytime I travel abroad it is one of my favorite stores to shop in, even though I have it in NYC. There is something so fun about going to the big Oxford Circus flagship store! The size, the energy, the selection - I have literally spent hours there. And a Topshop sale? Even better!

Allison Williams basically came out of nowhere at the beginning of 2012 and quickly became a force on the red carpet. Her style is mix of classic chic with just enough oomph to keep it interesting. Plus, she's so naturally gorgeous that I wouldn't want her to wear anything to distract from her elegance. I see major beauty endorsement deals in her future.

2012 has been quite the year for Jennifer Lawrence and I think it's safe to say we're going to be seeing quite a bit of her for years to come. I for one am thrilled about that because not only is she a wonderful actress, but her fashion sense is spot on. Now as a new ambassador for Dior obviously she will be wearing mostly that, but this past year we saw an array of labels.

Ginnifer Goodwin had a standout year in terms of fashion. She never missed an opportunity to wear something bold at an event. This hot pink Roksanda Ilincic Margot dress she wore to the 2012 People's Choice Awards is my favorite of all her fashion moments.

Two of my favorite words: Vintage and Chanel. Rue La La is featuring a vintage Chanel boutique with jewelry, handbags and clothing. I am having a fashion orgasm! I dream of Chanel. Seriously.

Versace's new Spring campaign feature top models Kate Moss, Daria Webowy and Joan Smalls, and was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. I wish I was a fly on the wall to witness the magic that must have flourished with all those beauties present.

Have New Years Eve plans? Have nothing to wear? That's where Rent the Runway will save your night! Today only they are offering 50% off of New Year's Eve rentals and will get you the dress by tomorrow. That is surely to save you a lot of stressful shopping over the weekend.

With awards season is just around the corner, I thought I would finish out the year highlighting my favorite red carpet moments of 2012.

Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief! WWD reported that Manhattan federal district court entered a final order Thursday confirming that Christian Louboutin has no further claims against Yves Saint Laurent over red monochrome shoes and dismissed the lawsuit.

As 2012 is winding down, I wanted to look at two big hair trends of the year and debate whether they should stay strong in 2013 or quietly find a back door of 2012 and slip out. Demi Lovato, known for her young, cool aesthetic, is no stranger to either trend.

What a better way to shop than knowing your fashion efforts are going to a great cause: Sandy Relief. The CFDA and the Tory Burch Foundation created Fashion for Sandy Relief, an unforgettable sample sale that benefits the victims of Hurricane Sandy. The unique collection includes of one-of-a-kind items from some of the hottest names in fashion, including Jason Wu, Carolina Herrera, Anna Sui, and Tommy Hilfiger. The deal-maker? Seventy percent of the purchase price will go to Fashion for Sandy Relief.

Jenna Dewan Tatum looked like a goddess at VH1's Divas concert last week. Mrs. Tatum has a lot to be glowing about: great career, married to People Magazine's sexiest man alive and the announcement of their first child. I would say, she's doing pretty well!

Kim Kardashian and the whole Kardashian/Jenner/Odom crew are wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with this year's family card. Even Kim's all white cat, that has now sadly passed, made it into the photo.

It's late in the afternoon on Christma Eve so I really hope you have all your holiday shopping done.

That means you can get a $100 gift card for someone (or yourself) and only spend $50!

Jessica Chastain is giving us glamour with a capitol 'G' as she leaves the Walter Kerr Theatre in NYC. To many, the Hollywood star seems to have come out of nowhere and in a short time has made a splash both on the big screen and in the fashion world. What most don't know is that Chastain has been here all along, working and honing both her craft and her eye for fashion.

WWD reported that Wal-Mart's glossy magalog, BeautyScoop, was created for them by Condé Nast, the luxury publisher of magazines like Vogue, New Yorker, Vanity Fair, W, and Lucky.

It's not yet Christmas which means there is still plenty of food, drinks and merriment to be had. But I for one am already over it. I looked in the mirror this morning and felt the same way I feel every December - ready for the carb and sugar overload to be OVER! Sure, I work out and try my best to balance it all, but never with much success. It's inevitable for me: as the year winds down, my waist line expands.
