With New York Fashion Week over, and London coming to a close, we've already seen celebrities, designers, models and bloggers don their best outfits in order to get the best street style snap. 

If you pay close attention to what these women wear, you start to notice a trend among them. 

There are certain items every one of them seem to own and wear regularly as they go about their daily business.

Speaking to Who What Wear, stylist Marissa Webb said: "It's really impossible to speak for every other woman in the fashion industry, of course, but they are a few items I've spotted frequently on many."

Want to know what they are? Read our top list:

Fashionable flats

After all, fashion girls spend a lot of time on their feet! From fashion shows to press event, photo shoots and more, fashionistas are kept going – and no matter what anyone tells you, it's hard to do in heels. 

 

A go-to fragrance

Every stylish woman has a favourite perfume! It's something that they will be remembered by as they go from place to place. But there's always time to update your scent with these new autumn launches. 

 

The perfect trench coat

They all need a trendy trench coat for travel. Most of them choose the longer style as it gives them multiple ways to change it up. But when you're on one side of the city and you need to get over to the other, these slick cover-ups really come in handy.

 

Sunglasses

Fashion women are tired women – between working and events (especially during Fashion Week), it can be so draining. The most stylish way to cover that up is by wearing chic sunglasses. Just look at Anna Wintour!

 

Functional but chic luggage

Women in fashion spend a lot of time travelling, whether at home or abroad. Functional luggage is a major priority (because let's face it, they have  A LOT of clothes to fit in their bags). But no one wants to walk around with a grubby suitcase, so a stylish yet sturdy suitcase is key.

21 years ago today, the very first episode of Friends appeared on TV screens. The sitcom went on for 10 more years and became one of the most-loved sitcoms ever.

We could never decide which of the six friends we would want to be our own BFF, to be honest we kind of just wanted to be friends with them all. As it turns out, most Irish women want to be best friends with not Monica, Rachel or Phoebe but Amy Huberman takes the top spot.

A survey from One4all has revealed that when it comes to who Irish men want to be besties with, funny man Chris O’Dowd takes the top spot. So apparently being funny is still how some of the best friendships are made, Chandler would be relieved we imagine.

Meanwhile, the Friends cast still come out on top when it comes to ‘Friendship Goals’.

Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox were voted the ultimate celebrity friends. The on-screen/off-screen besties have been friends for over 20 years. Most recently Courtney acted as maid of honour at Jennifer’s wedding while Jen is also godmother to Courtney’s daughter, Coco.

Being godparent for a best friend’s child was reported as a highlight of their friendship for 25 per cent of the women surveyed. Being asked to be best man was the proudest moment for 19 per cent of the men.

When it comes to special occasions, almost half of those women surveyed said they would spend between €25 and €50 on a gift for their friends but a third of men would spend between €1 and €25.

Interestingly, almost a third of Irish adults said they count more than five people among their closest group of friends, sounds familiar, yes?

In case you were not one of the many people who downloaded Kylie Jenner’s app then the chances are you missed out on her latest update.

This week the 18-year old reality TV star was giving her opinions on plastic surgery and her own appearance. The teenager, who admitted that she is not against plastic surgery, has once again denied having had breast implants.

She says that her now much more curvy figure is all because of how much weight she has gained:

“No, people- I haven’t gotten breast implants!” she explained, “Everyone is obsessed with that. Truth is, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gained 15 pounds and my body has changed; I’ve definitely filled out.”

She also added that having a team of professional make-up artists and stylists on hand to help her out whenever she needs to make a public appearance has taught her a number of tricks.

“Working with some of the best makeup artists has taught me a lot of amazing tricks to making me feel more confident and I can’t wait to share them with you guys,” such as her ‘magic trick’ that involved a Victoria’s Secret push-up bra.

“I swear there are things you can do to work on problem areas without having to think about plastic surgery. (Contouring has changed my life!)” Kylie added.

She has admitted however in May of this year that she did have lip fillers and told fans that she is not opposed to the idea of having plastic surgery:

“I’m also someone who says “never say never”,’ she explained. ‘If, down the line, I get to a point where I’m really uncomfortable with something on my body, I’m not against changing it.”

While Kylie may not be against it, mom Kris has admitted that she was not pleased when Kylie got her lip fillers done. As she was still underage at the time, it has made some people curious as to whether the consent came from Kris or Caitlyn Jenner, as one parent would have had to sign off on the procedure.

Kris said about Kylie’s trip to the cosmetic surgeon that she 'wasn't completely supportive,' but also admitted that “once that was done, it's just my kid. I love my kid. We make mistakes.'

Remember when everyone discovered that Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence were friends? That was a fun time, although it probably would have been more fun if we could actually be part of the squad too. We can dream.

Just when we thought that these two couldn’t get any better, they went and did it.

In celebration of Amy’s win at the Emmys on Sunday, JLaw went out and surprised her bestie with a bouquet of giant balloons.

 

A photo posted by @amyschumer on

We mean giant. So many balloons and colours, they are literally taking up an entire room.

In an Instagram photo Amy captioned a snap of the surprise with “Never tell Jennifer L your room number.”

The famous pair have been friends for some time now, so much so that they are planning on writing a comedic screenplay together. The plan is for the duo to play sisters.

Jennifer Lawrence Surprised Emmy Winner Amy Schumer With The Best Gift Ever

Earlier this summer, Amy explained on The Daily Show, how their friendship came to be:

“So we go to the Hamptons, and Jennifer and I have become friends. And I was like, ‘Oh, we’re going on a boat tomorrow, you should come.’

It was kind of hypothetical, and she was like, ‘I think I’m coming,’ and I was like, ‘Oh my God.’”

We can only imagine the feeling Amy, really. Luckily for us Amy admitted that some of her friends, the non-celeb type, responded exactly how we imagine we would if told we would be jet skiing with JLaw tomorrow:

“I filmed a video of me telling my friends—and they’re like nurses and teachers—that Jennifer Lawrence is coming on a boat with us tomorrow,” Schumer said. “So they’re all screaming.” 

So, when is that video being shared on Instagram exactly?

Attention all shoppers:

If you can fly over to London any time soon, then you just might be able to get your hands on some Louis Vuitton – for absolutely nothing. 

That's thanks to their Series 3 Exhibition, which opened last night and saw stars Selena Gomez, Michelle Williams, Alexa Chung and Poppy and Cara Delevingne on the guest list. 

The real star of the night though, was a wall full of stickers – but these aren't your ordinary children's playbook stickers. 

Each one is branded with a LV logo and features a designer bag or shoe. 

These are the Vuitton goods that are up for free, but the exhibition is quite strict on handing them out and only two stickers can be given to one person. 

So if you have any free time between now and October 18, fly over and raid their free-for-all wall. 

After all, if you can't afford a real speedy, a giant sticker one will have to do!

One of our favourite looks from Sunday night's Emmy Awards was Game of Thrones star, Maisie Williams. 

She donned a very soft retro look with a pastel pink strapless gown and fluff-top heels (which we adore).

Something else we adored on the night was Maisie's make-up.

Her skin glowed from one end of the red carpet to the other and we have just found out that's all thanks to Kiehl's skincare. 

Makeup artist, Kindra Mann, was responsible for the stars look on the night.

“I was totally inspired tonight by Maisie's retro feeling pink dress. I loved that the colour and texture gave it a vintage feel."

"We wanted the makeup to feel that same way, but with a more modern twist.”

“To keep Maisie’s skin looking fresh all night I started off by pressing a few drops of Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate onto her skin before applying a little of Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream for added moisture."

"I prepped the under eye area with a little of Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado.”

Sounds like a dreamy pampering session to us!

“For the lips we wanted a nice nude color that was a little softer than the pink in the dress.  I started off by applying Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 to hydrate the lips." 

"I then added Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo in #1 Pale Pink Nude to give it that perfect nude color.”

And what's more, we can get our hands on these gorgeous products too! Everything used on Maisie is available from Dundrum Town Centre and Arnotts!

Hitting the age of 50 is a milestone and definitely worthy of a few things, but in Cindy Crawford's case, that translates into writing a book. 

The model is writing all about her glittering career in the fashion industry and reflecting on the wisdom she has picked up along the way ahead of her landmark birthday next February.

But in the book, it's not all glitz and glam as you thought it would be, she also tells some of the downside's to having a modelling career.

"Unfortunately I was never one of those girls who could eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight (damn you Kate Moss!)," the Super writes in the tome, entitled  Becoming, reports Style. 

"Of course as soon as I told myself that I wasn't going to eat any sugar, bread, or whatever, all I could think of was sugar, bread or whatever!"

"I have finally settled on the idea of being 80 per cent good 80 per cent of the time. For me, that's doable."

There's a strong sense in the book that Cindy wants to raise awareness for what she believes in. 

"To my mind, the most important message I can promote and exemplify is one that supports diversity and health."

Cindy's book, Becoming, will hit shelves in the this month.

Not too long ago we lucky enough to be witness to two thirds of the super-groups that was Destiny’s Child reunite for a very special musical moment.

Minus Bey. Kelly and Michelle got together to serenade Kelly’s 10-month old son, Titan Jewell and it was adorable and sounded incredible too.

 

A video posted by kellyrowland (@kellyrowland) on

Before that Kelly had said that while she was working on new music and hoping to record something soon, it was no longer her first priority as Titan, her first child with Tim Weatherspoon had taken that spot.

However, Matthew Knowles, father of Beyoncé and former manager of the musical trio has recently told the Huffington Post that Kelly’s words shouldn’t make us too upset.

"I am extremely hopeful that the ladies will come back with an album and a tour,” he said, "I'm working on a few Destiny's Child projects right now." 

Amazing.

The ladies haven’t released any new music together since Beyoncé and Kelly featured on Michelle’s 2014 track Say Yes but things could be different in the future seeing as the next projects would be spearheaded by Matthew himself.

He added: “My second book will be the autobiography of Destiny's Child. I'm talking to the film and TV community right now, regarding a Destiny's Child movie or TV series of some sort.”

Bey’s dad and music mogul also made the prediction that “within the next two or three years we’ll see something major from it.”

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds enjoy sharing romantic snaps and fun selfies on social media, but when it comes to their nine-month-old daughter, they're staunchly private.

So private, in fact, that it took over three months before the pair even revealed her name – James.

The issue of safeguarding their daughter's personal life really came to a head a few months ago, when Ryan discovered one of his closest friends had attempted to sell pictures of little James online for cash.

Speaking in the new issue of GQ, the actor admitted it was a huge betrayal from one of his closest pals.

"A guy that I’d known for my whole life, one of my closest friends growing up, he had been shopping pictures of my baby around," Ryan revealed.

"I kind of got in front of it, which is good. But it was a slightly dark period. A bad couple of weeks."

The friend wasn't just an acquaintance, Ryan was clear to emphasise. "Somebody I grew up with, yeah…Somebody I’ve known, who’s been one of my closest friends, for 25 years."

The star couple made the discovery after photos proud dad Ryan had sent to a small group of friends and family suddenly went public.

"[He did it] just for money. I mean, I don’t think he thought he would ever be caught. But it’s a pretty narrow group of people that I would send photos like that to. They’re just, like, my closest family and my closest friends: ‘Here’s us in the delivery room!'" he elaborated.

Despite constantly being in the public eye, the Deadpool star said he took the incident very personally.

 

Thumb wrestling isn't always fair. Curiously, my hand is the small one.

"It was like a death. It was like one of those devastating things to find out."

And is there any chance of a reconciliation? No, Ryan admits.

"It’s just, ‘Oh, well, now I’m never going to see you or talk to you again, unfortunately.’ That’s kind of how it worked out."

A victorious Dublin team returned to the capital city today to celebrate after yesterday's All Ireland Senior Football win over Kerry.

Crowds were gathering on O'Connell St all evening ahead of the team's arrival, but, as is tradition, the Sam Maguire cup made a few other special visits first today:

And probably a few unscheduled ones too, starting with the Boar's Head pub on Capel St at 9am:

But after an official presentation in Dublin's Mansion house, the team made their way by bus over to O'Connell St, where thousands of locals were present to welcome them home.

Not to be left out, even the city's Lord Mayor Críona Ní Dálaigh jumped on board:

Just look at that view:

There'll be quite a few young fans too hyped up to do their homework tonight, but Dublin GAA are going to get them off the hook (kinda):

And did anyone use this 'sick' note this morning?

After speeches, it was on to the songs, with Kevin McManamon leading the tunes:

Looks like an amazing evening… Congrats to this year's All Ireland Champs!

Cosmetics brand Urban Decay broke records earlier this year for their Naked Smoky Palette, with 8,000 fans on the waiting list in Ireland alone.

But a new Urban Decay collection has just been announced, and we reckon it's going to have more of a cult following than any Naked palette ever did.

The edgy cosmetics house have teamed up with none other than Gwen Stefani for a brand new limited-edition make-up line, set to launch in late November.

The UD x GWEN STEFANI collection was co-designed by Gwen herself and the company's founded Wende Zomner, a long-time No Doubt fan.

The pair first collaborated earlier this year on a charity initiative called The Ultraviolet Edge, donating money to organisations that empower women.

"I remember hearing the song Just a Girl… and I remember thinking to myself, 'That girl is so cool. It would be really cool to work with her someday,'" Wende said at a UD x GWEN STEFANI press event this week. "It took 19 years, but it happened."

Gwen is said to have worked closely with Wende for the new (top-secret) collection, "talking makeup and working with her on EVERY detail of this launch—from the packaging to the formulation to the shades."

While no details of the line have been released yet, we're certain it will contain a bold red lipstick á la Gwen:

Though the collection will launch online in late November, it won't officially reach Irish stores until December, at which point it will be available for purchase in Debenhams and House of Fraser.

We're already WAY too excited.

Last Wednesday marked the start of the 100-day countdown to Christmas, so we've decided it's officially OK to start getting more than a little excited.

In fact, we uttered a quiet "ho, ho, ho," when we heard of plans for a pretty spectacular addition to Dublin's 2015 Christmas landscape.

Yes, as part of a month-long new festive festival in the capital, the Fair City will be getting a HUGE Rockefeller-style fir tree to rival that of New York's.

Exciting! The tree will be erected in Dublin's Custom House Quarter at the start of the I Believe Festival, which is running from November 26 to December 23. 

Donated by Coillte, the tree will be at least 15metres high. Although it'll be dwarfed by the 38metre Rockefeller tree, we reckon it will still look pretty special against the city's backdrop.

According to the festival organisers "selected charities" will take ownership of the tree throughout the festival, using the area for gift drives and fundraising.

Set in a "chalet style village," the surrounding market will furthermore offer delicious food, drinks, crafts and unique presents for loved-ones. 

Santa will be appearing (natch), and visitors can even buy their Christmas trees from a dedicated market at the Point Village.

And while we love the Grafton Street lights and the bauble tree on O'Connell Street, there is always something magical about a real Christmas tree – meaning we'll certainly be heading to the Custom House Quarter for the 2015 Yuletide season.

So… basically, this is us right now:

 

I BELIEVE will run for 28 days in the lead-up to Christmas from Thursday, November 26 until Wednesday, December 23 at the Custom House Quarter in Dublin, which includes George’s Dock, The CHQ Building and its surrounding area.
