It might sounds crazy as it is the second day of October, but the new holiday collections are starting to arrive at my doorstep, so I can’t help sharing with you the first releases. Let me get started with the fabulous OPI Gwen Stefani Holiday 2014 nail lacquers.

If you were into the previous release of OPI Spring 2014 Gwen Stefani Collection, then you will surely adore the new one which includes 18 nail polishes (CHF23.90 each) and the “Don’t Speak” Pure 18K Gold Top Coat (CHF 49.90).

Here are the swatches, I personally adore the glitter shades that can be mixed and matched with the other colors for the right Christmas sparkle.

The collection will hit the stores in Switzerland in the end of October 2014.

When I first heard that Gwen Stefani was teaming up with OPI for a limited edition collection, I couldn’t contain my excitement. Inspired by the 2013 Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala that featured the theme “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” seven new nail lacquers, featuring standout color in breakthrough finishes will launch in January 2014.

Highlights from the collection include a bold red lacquer that pays homage to Gwen’s signature lipstick, a new semi-matte satin finish in shades of gold and black, and a mirrored chrome paired with a special base coat.

From left to right:
Over & Over A-Gwen – Gwen’s signature red OPI hue is available in a boxed set, which includes Swarovski black crystals and silver, gold and pewter studs in bar, square, diamond and circle shapes for creating unique nail designs, as well as nail glue for easy application.
Hey Baby (a perfect pink) and I Sing in Color (a deep blackberry) are also two glossy crème lacquers.

From left to right:
Love.Angel.Music.Baby. and 4 in the Morning feature a new, semi-matte satin finish designed to be worn without top coat.
In True Stefani Fashion is a sparkly holographic silver glitter shade.

My favorite: Push and Shove, a bold chrome hue, is also worn without top coat but requires a special complimentary base.

The collection will be in stores worldwide in January 2014, in Switzerland it will launch on the 21st and be available for around 3 months.

Yesterday I showed you the first sketches of the Gucci Kids collection that will make the hearts of the tiniest trendsetters leap with joy. I am at the moment in L.A. and this might have inspired me to today`s post. Celebrity offspring following in their parents` stylish footsteps is seen here everywhere. Photographed by trendhunters, the kids have an already well-established look like their style-icon mums and dads.

With Suri Cruise leading the way at the ripe old age of 4, who would have thought the little girl that newly born already graced the cover of Vanity Fair magazine would become such a fashion superstar?! There are blogs devoted to her style, designers send her presents (remember Ferragamo`s Sofia tote) and it might be only a matter of time before Hermès creates the “Suri” bag. You can argue about the „high heels“ she is wearing but the mini fashionista definitely rocks the Burberry check and ballet tutus. Malicious gossip has it that she is pushed by her parents. Regardless of the veracity or otherwise of that account, I can assure you that my love for fashion started very very young, too. I drove my mum crazy with my strong attitude towards my own style.

The little fashion icons also play a pivotal role in the advertising concepts of their actress-designer-mums that mostly have their own fashion lines. Doesn`t Suri looks adorable in her mum`s Holmes & Yang dresses?

Or let`s look at No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani who designs the stylish L.A.M.B. collection and dresses her son in the subsequent line for little L.A.M.B.s.

Ex Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling has turned her style into a clothing line for kids age 0 up to 4 years named Little Maven. The mother of two also wrote a book about fashionable motherhood.

Another book author is Nicole Richie whose second novel “Priceless“ will be in stores this fall. She is probably the most experienced and successful designer of all these fashionable mums. Her two lines are named after her daughter`s three names: The accessories and shoe collection is called House of Harlow 1960 and the clothing line Winter Kate. Nicole has a great vintage inspired boho-chic style with a modern edge. She also got a lot of credit for her maternity line that she created in collaboration with A Pea in the Pod.

That the tiny trendsetters can become grown-up “Material Girls” shows the example of Madonna`s thirteen-year-old daughter Lourdes Leon who is co-designing with her mum a juniors clothing line named after Madonna`s 1984 hit song for Fall 2010.  It is a mix of fierce and cute elements with a lot of references to the singers former look like a tutu dress paired with studded combat boots. The Material Girl collection will be sold exclusively at Macy`s for back-to-school-season starting August 3rd.
