April

Now's the time to shop celeb style. Even if you don't have the bank balance of Kate Moss, Madonna or little Miss Minogue you can still have a piece of their wardrobe as all three are set to launch their own fashion ranges this spring.

Kylie Minouge has teamed up with H&M and launched a boho-themed swimwear collection aptly named: H&M Loves Kylie. As for Madge, she's had her fans queuing for the counter to bag a piece of her chic fashion designs.

Both ranges are available now however Kylie does rack up a few more brownie points as 10% of the sales profits go to WaterAid - a charity dedicated to ensuring safe and sanitised water for the world's poorest people.
