ElleGirl- It’s that time of year: the decorations are up, and the shopping sprees have begun.

If you’re like us, you’re busy planning your outfits for all the upcoming holiday parties. Just don’t forget the ultimate accessory—a fabulous nail color!

Jason Wu Pre-Fall
Jason Wu’s struck a taste for the Maharaja—the gilded echelons of Indian society—and used the reference as a driving inspiration in his pre-fall collection. Images of swanning princesses and rich embroideries combined with the works of modern artist, Charley Harper, provoked Wu to design a playful yet structured collection that included this parka suit—his fresh take on workwear for the early fall months (though given this year’s weather patterns, it may be better ‘suited’ for February). “It feels sophisticated and sporty at the same,” Wu said of his design. The look—comprised of a matching skirt and overcoat with a sharp monochromatic sweater underneath, is unlike any suit we’ve seen before; taking the polished girl-on-the-go to the next level by creating a jacket to-match.

This morning, Chanel staged their pre-fall show—or, as they like to call it, Métiers d’Art—in Paris. While most designers are content to welcome press and buyers into their studio for an intimate presentation on a rolling rack, Chanel’s never one to say no to a major production. This season, Karl went with a feast theme, surprising for a man who famously favors Diet Coke over solid food. He presented a sparkling collection of fur coats and white sheath dresses on a runway lined with silver trays overflowing with food, stunning flower arrangements and crystal candelabras. Another look after the jump, and check back tomorrow for the full collection!

Prabal Gurung’s been appointed the new designer of International Concept Brand, or, ICB. The line, which has been designed by Michael Kors and Viktor and Rolf in the past, halted its US distribution in 2002, but will make an anticipated return with its first Gurung designed collection at New York Fashion Week this February. Gurung told WWD that he’s thrilled to have “the opportunity to experience the outstanding production and technology in Japan as well as the company-owned factories in Italy.” He also pointed out the benefits of working on a collection at a lower price point, “[It] provides a new perspective for me as a designer.” As for ICB, they’re thrilled to have snagged such a beloved name. “Gurung as a maverick international designer combined with our established business in Japan provides a solid foundation,” said the brand’s president. That, and everyone loves the guy. Will this be the hottest ticket come February?

- Many couldn't dream of anyone other than Kristin Stewart playing the role of vampire lover Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga, while others watch the movies with one eye closed to only be able to experience what they consider to be the better half, aka Robert Pattinson.
We thought it would be interesting to look deeper into all the different directions the role of Bella Swan could have taken, 5 to be precise! Here are the brown-haired pale beauties who were considered for the role.

- As you might know, the princess of pop celebrated her 30th birthday on the 2th of December! However rather than throwing an extravagant party, she spent her birthday in a calm, homely manner! She started off by watching and responding to her her celebrity friends' and fans' videos and text messages in bed with her sons Preston and Jayden and then later headed out to a privately rented ice-skating rink in Houston with her boyfriend Jason Trawick! She then rounded the day off with a family dinner. How cozy and responsible!
