Your bit for charity... and style

KATE Moss is new to it, Katherine Hamnett has been doing it for years and Henry Holland's are tipped to become collector's items.

What is it? Charity t-shirts of course!

All the top designers are using their creative skills to help their chosen charities and what better way than to emblazon it across our chests.

On tonight's show we enlisted the help of our very own Miss Style In City Rachel Johnson to model the shirts for us.

Obviously it's great that by buying a t-shirt you are donating to a good cause but there are other pluses.

You get to look uber stylish and selfless, which is a trend that is so this season and, in this time of cash crisis, you can splash out on designer and be guilt free.

Feel good

Our new motto in the Style office is look good, feel good so if you want to follow suit make sure you tune in at 8.30pm.

The most important thing that happened in my life this week and for a long time was I got a manicure from nail technician to the stars Leighton Denny.

He pampers all the celebs' nails from the Spice Girls through to Jerry Hall.

Mr Denny was at The Aura salon at The Lancashire Health and Racquet club.

I love not only the colours of his nail varnish range but also the names of them.

All about me and Whatever were my favourites and the story behind the naming of Whatever is great.

When he would ask his A-list clients what colour they wanted and got the reply `whatever' he used to use his initiative and choose one.

Retort

Only to be met with an exhale of breath and the retort: "That's not really the colour I wanted".

Now he's in a position to give them exactly what they ask for. When it got down to my nails I opted for the half moon Dita Von Teese look.

They looked great, the colour lasted for ages and I felt super sexy with them done.

Finally, I want to give you a heads up on a couple of the tips of the trade Leighton Denny gave me.

Always hold a cotton pad of nail varnish remover onto your nail instead of rubbing.

It removes the nail varnish a lot easier and prevents the colour staining.

Don't skimp when it comes to buying varnish, you shouldn't spend less that a fiver because you get what you pay for.

And finally, this is straight from Leighton's mouth, for autumn winter we will all be donning varnish in metallics and reds.

For more of Leighton's great advice tune in to Style In The City.
