Have a fashionable friend who can’t keep her appointments straight? Keep her sharp and organized with a diary from legendary London-based stationer Smythson of Bond Street. She’ll be in good company — Kate Moss has her initials embossed on her Smythson diary, and Gwyneth Paltrow has their note cards embossed with a silver apple in honor of her daughter. The stationer to the stars is now celebrating 10 years of its iconic Fashion Diary, and to celebrate they have commissioned Alexander McQueen, Zac Posen, Missoni and Giambattista Valli to create a limited-edition version available just in times for the holidays, $405. (Or try a Wafer Diary for an easier-to-swallow $45 ). Who knew being organized could be so chic?

Naomi Watts is not only a stylish woman and talented actress, but as a UNAIDS representative, she is a deeply committed activist. So, it comes as no surprise to see her supporting PRODUCT(RED), a campaign to raise funds for AIDS victims in Africa through partnerships with multiple companies. Whenever a (RED) product or service is purchased, the supporting company will donate a portion of its profits to purchase medicine for those afflicted with AIDS in Africa. Naomi’s t-shirt is from the Gap, whose star-studded ad campaign has made them one of the most visible members of the effort.

Many women struggle to maintain their signature style during their pregnancies, but Tori Spelling seems to be having a full-blown identity crisis. She’s already abandoned her hippy-style, featuring pigtails and paisley smocks, for a look more befitting a Vegas showgirl than a new mom — a sheer, rhinestone-laden minidress with sparkly heels. We’re all for looking sexy and feeling good while expecting, but Tori might want to take a few tips on how to do it from ladies like Heidi Klum or Maggie Gyllenhaal. Tell us: What do you think of Tori’s latest look? Is she a hot mama or in need of a cool new style?

Who says stars don’t love a bargain? Looking as chic as ever, Iman co-chaired the Citymeals-on-Wheels Power Lunch in soft grey slacks and this taffeta “Nonna” blouse from Club Monaco that costs only $99. Andie MacDowell recently picked up a glittery black tube top at Express for only $40, which she paired with an Oscar de la Renta skirt for a New Orleans charity event. (We’re guessing the skirt cost a little bit more!) And she’s not the only star loving Express — actress Sanaa Lathan slinked around a Playstation 3 party in their silver, spaghetti-strapped dress. These gorgeous fashionistas remind us that true style is about mixing it up, high and low (so that you don’t have to break the bank!).

Styles are available in stores only. Click here to locate a Club Monaco and an Express store near you.
