Barbie is trying on a whole new look for size. The iconic and always stylish doll is getting a rock-star-worthy makeover by one of the hottest designing-duos in fashion: Phillip and David Blond of The Blonds! And while the pair, who have created extravagant looks for stars like Rihanna, Fergie and Katy Perry, first debuted their custom-designed collection of limited-edition Barbies ($5,000) on the runway during New York Fashion Week, this week marks the first time that you can snag the mini-fashionistas for yourself. And to properly celebrate Barbie as the blonde bombshell of our time, you can also choose from an assortment of other chic accessories to dress yourself in, including bangles ($15), a Louis Vuitton-like clutch ($60), or even a one-of-a-kind hair chandelier ($9,000). This is one off-the-runway collection you must get your hands on! To purchase the ultimate Barbie, visit barbiecollector.com. –Jessie Goldberg

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Holiday ‘Goop’ Gift Guide!

Gwyneth Paltrow‘s weekly newsletter Goop.com has always been a chic source of well-informed ideas for the savvy shopper, so it only makes sense that the actress-turned-singer would get into the holiday spirit by curating her own gift guide. “Anything personally made for you always trumps other gifts because of the thought and organization put into it,” Gwyneth writes. Her selection includes eclectic finds like customized holiday cards from Cocodot.com and trinkets from Vicente Agor, a San Francisco-based jeweler, who (for $310 and up), will turn a profile picture of your loved ones into one-of-a-kind pair of earrings. And if picking family favorites is too hard, Gwyneth encourages readers to represent their hometown glory with Tophdaddy‘s uber-hip area code T-shirts ($18 to $60). For the frequent traveler she recommends Abernathy Road‘s handsome assortment of leather goods, which includes an iPhone pocket journal ($372), and perfectly rugged duffel bags. However, Gwyneth’s personal go-to luggage? The monogrammed Louis Vuitton Pegase suitcase, of course. To see the rest of Gwyneth’s Goop gift guide, and for more personalized gift ideas, visit goop.com. –Jessie Goldberg

Hang with the Stars: Celeb-Designed Holiday Ornaments

They’ve built fashion empires, launched fragrances and lent their likenesses to home lines. Now Sarah Jessica Parker, Mary J. Blige and Iman want to help you trim your tree. These are just a few of the A-list names who have put their star power behind holiday ornaments, available now for $19.90-$49.90, on hsn.com/hsncares. With 100 percent of the profits being donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (which serves children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses), stars were quick to embrace the spirit of giving. “Anything involving kids touches my heart,” says Molly Sims, whose ornament is a nod to her jewelry line. Tori Spelling, whose own childhood home famously featured a room devoted entirely to wrapping Christmas presents, opted for “a traditional print, which makes for a festive holiday!” Blige took a deeper approach, explaining “This holiday I wanted all of my fans to celebrate women. I chose the Phoenix [design] because she embodies grace, confidence and strength.” Now that you’ve got the makings of a VIP tree, you might want to consider putting a velvet rope around it. –Suzanne Zuckerman
