For the majority of us mere mortals, the end of December guarantees the following: train services will grind to a halt with a single snowflake, you’ll find a bumper pack of socks in your stocking, and Pringles will be 3-for-2 in Sainsburys. For celebs, however, the end of the year signifies their migration to holiday camp for the rich and famous. Whilst we’re wearing our pajamas for the fifth consecutive day and hoovering up left-over cheese straws, the A-List are prancing in turquoise waters and smugly flexing their gym-honed abs for the paparazzi. The migratory patterns of 2010 show a trend for either St Barts, Los Cabos in Mexico or Barbados – which NYE celebrations would you fancy joining?

Ah well, mustn’t grumble… I have a night of Jules Holland and 3 tubes of Pringles to look forward to. Happy New Year to you all!

Wrapping up warm has never looked so stylish…

1. Burberry leather and suede platform ankle boots
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo leather shoulder bag
3. Juicy Couture wool-blend military coat

There’s always one… and this year it was Lady Gaga. Whilst she was decked out in butchers’ cuts, however, the rest of the A-list scrubbed up magnificently in a variety of designers and styles. There were the seasoned pros (Johnansson, Kruger, Mendes), the new wave (Swift, Seyfried, Pinto) the model credentials crowd (Chung, Huntington-Whitely, Watson) and the reality set (Conrad, Kardashian/s, Port).
For me, two ladies consistently and effortlessly got it right, with a hint of, “oh, this old thing?”. Firstly, and I’m not being biased because I’m Gossip Girl’s biggest fan, there’s Blake Lively. Ok, so it helps that her body is flawless, but she dresses to make the most of her assets in a classy way and never plays it safe. Perfection:

Then there’s Olivia Palermo, who always looks immaculate. She may have the tact of a sledgehammer, but the way she pairs designer with high street labels, the girl never gets it wrong. She makes grey look interesting and her accessories frequently make an outfit. Here are some highlights:

Now, you won’t blame me if I’m not entirely convinced that this genetically-blessed pairing are going to last. Just a hunch. After Jude’s “indiscretion”, he had an illegitimate child and Sienna took it upon herself to see what she’d been missing. Following a fling with the furry Rhys Ifans, she realised she missed the prettiness, and the couple reunited late last year. They have now combined their sizeable pay packets and splashed out on an £8million Georgian house in Highgate, North London. Rumours that Sienna has secretly installed CCTV cameras in the nanny’s quarters are unconfirmed. Here’s a look inside (keep an eye out for the random floral cow):
