The gossip in all the glossies is about Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise at the moment, and who knows what's true and what isn't. One thing is certain though - the girl knows how to dress!
Now magazine has given its readers tips on how to get her £5000+ look for less and recommends this pretty Frank Usher simulated pearl necklace as part of the ensemble.

Hi there. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the nice comments you've left about my new gold and diamond ring. I'm so happy that everyone seems to like it. I can't believe that it sold out before I even had a chance to go on-air with it! Thanks for being so supportive!
Lots of Love

I'm Sarah Price - the garden designer who created QVC's Bejewelled Garden at last year's Chelsea Flower Show. Now I'm designing QVC's garden for this year's show and I can't wait!
Since last year's show, I've been busy designing all kinds of gardens! Some of them have been really modern and minimalist, while others more informal with fantastic expanses of soft naturalistic planting - something I love designing with!
I've been involved in lots of gardening projects recently, including working with Thrive in Battersea Park to renovate their 'Old English Garden'. Over the coming months I'll be telling you about how the QVC Garden is going, as well as giving you tips on improving your own gardens.

I'm not usually one for resolutions, but I've already decided to learn how to pilot a small boat - but not until the weather gets a bit warmer!
I'd also like to learn to play the electric guitar; and I'd like to apologise to my neighbours in advance!

Woman & Home magazine's annual fashion and beauty show is almost here. Some of the biggest fashion brands, such as Harrods and House of Fraser will be showcasing their new season designs and QVC Beauty will be there too.
Visit Woman & Home to get tickets to this fabulous event and the champagne reception - a great day out with the girls.
To listen more! I've been so busy that I've spent most of 2007 running around like a headless chicken - I intend to spend 2008 in a more calm and organised fashion… I promise!

1. I don't usually make resolutions as I'm rubbish at keeping them! But this year I've decided I must stop spending half my life in bed - even if it is kitted out with cosy Northern Nights bedding!
2. I want to try and win some new photography contracts
3. Keep on top of the weeding in my garden
Here's hoping I keep one or two of them!

Take a Break magazine shows you how to inject some colour into your winter wardrobe by layering your warm knits and combining them with bright fun accessories.
Their look includes this bright pink butterfly necklace from Lola Rose.
Now that I've added golf to my Stoke Park Spa membership, I'm determined to reduce my golf handicap - and the lessons I've been having with a golf-pro friend of ours should soon start to show when I finally beat my husband on the greens!
Love,

The girls of Girls Aloud know how to party and none more so than Sarah Harding; but even after a night on the town she still looks fresh-faced. Bella magazine have unlocked the secrets to a post-party bright-eyed complexion and it starts with Amazing Cosmetics Concealer.
QVC customers seem to agree too, because this handy little product has been given a five-star customer rating.
1. I've already booked skating lessons for my resolution; I'm determined to glide across the ice like Jayne Torvill!
2. Cancel my gym membership, as I don't use it enough
3. Drink more (I only drink about half a bottle of wine a year!)
4. Drink more water, too
5. Use body and neck creams more regularly
6. Take the time to read more

1. I must stop teasing Charlie Brook… no, scrap that, it's too much fun!
2. I must stop eating chocolate… no, scrap that too, the Thornton's selection is too delicious!
3. I must stop telling everyone Spurs will finish in the top four this season… it's never going to happen…
4. I will continue to learn Italian… yes I did start that last year, too!
5. I will strive to be a good boy at all times… honest!
