C is for Chanel No. 5

Designer fragrances have fleeting lives: one summer a scent is a must-have, the next it is too strong, too sweet, too tacky. However one perfume has remained at No. 1 despite it's title of No. 5. Always glamorous, always alluring Chanel No. 5 has been a staple on many a woman's vanity chest for over eight decades. The dominance of jasmine in Coco Chanel's first perfume allowed the designer to achieve her aim of No. 5 being the most expensive fragrance on the market. Chanel enjoys a very high status, boasting the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve and Nicole Kidman as proud spokeswomen over the years. Ms. Chanel has spritzed a multitude of women in a timeless luxury and eternal glamour. Perfume caps off to that!

E is for Edith

Ok so the Chloe Edith bag may be sooo last season (or the season before that...) but in Musette's opinion this rare gem of an 'It' bag can continue to be sported for many years to come. Thankfully gorgeous Edith lacks the glitz level that other designer totes scream, ie. the huge chain that suffocates MJ's Stam bag or the toe-breaking lock that decorates Edith's sluttier sister, Paddington. What's more, so far we haven't spotted innocent Edith on the shoulder of Lindsay, Paris, et al. Available in a range of similar styles and unoffensive colours, Edith can accompany you on everyday adventures or on a rocking night out.

F is for FRUiTS

Japanese photographer Schoichi Aoki captures the individualist street style of the Harajuku district of Japan in the magazine Fruits. Portraits of Japanese youth in an inspiring and outrageous array of get-ups can be found in the publication's pages, uninterrupted by advertisements, allowing Fruits to read more as an art installation than fashion magazine. The widespread interest of the spontaneous and unaffected people of Aoki's photos have led to two books on the topic, as well as a global Fruits exhibition tour. The minimalist format of Aoki's photographs and magazines make way for his colourful and dynamically decked out subject matter.

J is for James Perse

After noticing a need for quality and stylish leisure wear, James Perse launched his first clothing collection in the mid 90's. Through the fusion of an LA upbringing dominated by sports, and his father's high fashion company Maxfield, Perse developed an irresistible line of womenswear that according to the designer'perfected shape and softness.' Since then, Perse has expanded into menswear, a kids line, and items for the home. Expect only the best in quality and fit from Perse's casual yet sophisticated offerings that are available at leading department stores, and James Perse flagship stores found throughout the USA.

K is for K Jacques

When your feet need a break from the strenuous schedule of late night summertime dancing, K Jacques will be there to support your wind-down in style. K Jacques sandals came to be in 1933 by Mr and Mrs K Jacques themselves and have never lost their easy breezy quality. The sexy, feminine style of these sandals evoke summer style and a carefree spirit wherever you choose to wear them. Channel a Brigitte Bardot of 1960's, St Tropez, or glam them up for a comfy, cool night time look with a mini frock, bright toes and head turning dance moves to match.

S is for Sonia

Dream of strolling the uber-stylish streets of Paris but lacking the airfare? Sonia Rykiel's younger and more affordable sub-brand is the ticket for you. With an aesthetic true to Rykiel's trademark French look, rich with stripes, the colour black, and sequins, Sonia will adorn you in ultra-feminine designs featuring hearts, over-sized bows, and polka-dots. Keep warm in chunky knits, bulky scarves and tailored coats or stop cars in a shift dress and adorable hat. Sonia by Sonia Rykiel will no doubt leave you looking tres jolie!

T is for Te Casan and Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman, (our generation's answer to Audrey Hepburn)is at it again with her angelic do-gooding. This time the Hollywood stunner and her stylist, fashion genius Kate Young, have teamed up with shoe retailer Te Casan to create 100% vegan footwear that won't make you feel like you are wearing cheap orthopedics. Together, Natalie and Kate have conceived a line of footwear that are cutting edge, chic, and of course, animal-friendly. Portman discovered the need for a guilt-free shoe line after having difficulty finding fashionable footwear that wouldn't compromise her devout vegan beliefs. Even if slipping into a pair of leather Louboutin's doesn't send your conscience into a tail spin, Natalie Portman's charitable kindness should be recognised and appreciated-she really is a rare diamond in a rough full of bad apple young starletts.

V is Victor and Rolf for Piper Heidsieck

Avant-garde Dutch fashion design pair Victor and Rolf have injected their characteristic flair to long time French champagne house Piper Heidsieck. The duo admits to being intimidated by the task of messing with a company with such a traditional brand identity, but true to V and R's abstract image they completed the task in a round-about manner-literally. "How could we make something new out of something eternal?" mused the team, therefore the only answer was to totally invert Piper's proportions. The result is fantastic-a huge cork, leading down to a neck which rests at the bottom. The upside down bottle comes as a dynamic set complete with an inverted bottle cooler and flipped champagne flute, reminiscent of a skewed martini glass. Piper Heidsieck's limited time Rose is guaranteed to go down well with drinkers, designers, and fashion fans alike.
