And in fashion. jeans are the festive season's must-have
. Nell shows you how she wears hers

Capri Jeans from All Saints silky blouse All Saints Handbag by Prada Sandals by Bridget.

It's easy taking fashion advice from beautiful, leggy (she's 5'10") Pulse model Nell Robinson. Nell is literally passing through Jamaica. Based in London and signed to hot handlers Select, Nell has had a super-busy two years. Both GQ and Arena have declared her 34D-24-34 frame as the body of 2005. With campaigns for Agent Provacateur, John Lewis, C&A, Gossard, Per Una lingerie and Puma underwear to name just a few on her impressive portfolio, Nell's next step "is to become as rich as possible. I want to be the girl they always associate with lingerie." We might very well be biased Nell, but that's not a challenge.

Until then our fashion challenge is how to look effortlessly chic this season.

Says Nell:
The must-haves:
. Three pairs of jeans ( include a cropped pair of jeans)
. Several great tops
. A great handbag
. A pair or two of Bridget sandals
. Accessories (necklaces, earrings, bangles and rings)
. Splurge

Bags and belts are so hot this season that you'll feel totally left out if you don't have at least one of each to make a statement. Splurge on both. You'll wear them so many times that you'll certainly get your money's worth.

Look for a steal when purchasing tops (think several wears)
Learn to mix a splurge with a steal and still look stylish. Like this Roberto Cavalli handbag and a pair of Bridget sandals.

Off The Runway
Since we're not all supermodels earning the type of bucks to keep us in Stella McCartney and Roberto Cavalli. do the next best thing...

Search out the fashion trends in J$ at Go West. Look out for bags with lots of bling and a touch of leopard skin.
Frayed jeans can be made-to-order at home with a sharp razor.

Sheer tops are what Michelle Simone Clarke does very well at the House of SIIM. Fabric can be picked up at Pablos.
Wait until month-end for great velvet jackets from Sophia Max Brown.

Great-looking statement belts are available at Heart & Sole.
Seek out the same things at Silver Slipper Plaza for a steal.
Beg and beseech Carlton Brown to build a jacket for you.

Fashion Note:
Accessories go from day to night and so do jeans, shoes, tops and jackets.
