I know it looks easy, this gig. Casting around for someone who's put her clothes on the right way. How hard can it be? Well, I tell you, folks, some weeks the women of the world just don't make the effort.

Or they do and it's too flouncy or too slutty or too monochrome stripy (bored already!) or too head-to-toe designer at said designer's party.

As a woman who lives, works and gets dressed in the real world all I'm looking for is an inspiring woman who looks like she does the same. That's all. But some days, and I'll say it again, it's hard.

However, this week, in amongst the style detritus of Geri Halliwell's knee-high boots and some particularly painful red carpet numbers I found a little glint of loveliness.

Jessica Alba: She Wears It Well

Actress Jessica Alba gets in early on spring's grunge trend.

Jessica Alba is so beautiful she'd look good wearing just her eco-friendly tote but today we're admiring the-31-year old's early season run on grunge.

Tartan trousers, hobnail boots, shapeless white T-shirt. Why, we could be at a Nirvana gig back in the day. OK, perhaps a little too polished for a crowdsurfer but nevertheless Alba is totes on trend.

Plenty of designers have given a spring/summer 2013 nod to the 'Come As You Are' era, including Dries Van Noten, who for my favorite collection of the shows, put plaid shirts, jackets and pyjama trousers with florals, sequinned skirts and more plaid for a nonchalantly slinky take on the Nineties.

And because tartan/plaid has been around for a while now is the perfect time to make like Alba and buy into the trend early - and at discount. I just had a sneaky peek at asos.com and found heaps of the stuff on sale. And maybe I did make a small purchase myself.

Gwyneth Paltrow launches limited-edition Goop Jeans

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her lifestyle website Goop have teamed up with London denim label MiH to create the perfect pair of blue jeans.

Could Gwyneth Paltrow be the fashion world's answer to Martha Stewart?  Forget acting - the 39-year-old's extra-curricular accomplishments as a chic lifestyle guru certainly suggest so.

Paltrow's hugely successful website Goop - through which she and her team dispense what she calls 'life's positives', has teamed up with cult denim label brand MiH to add designing to its portfolio and create the perfect pair of jeans.

The kick-flare Marrakesh style is one of MiH's best sellers and has been made over in 'Real Blue' by the Goop team.

"We love our MiH Marrakesh Jean in perfect blue denim: soft, timeless and flattering. We left them free from any distress for you to break them in naturally over time to achieve your own personal look and wash," says Goop.

Naturally, Paltrow, who has contracts as the face of Hugo Boss and Coach, can be seen modelling the effortless style on the Goop website .

For MiH founder and creative director Chloe Lonsdale, the collaboration is a match made in heaven. "It's been really exciting to design a special jean for goop as I'm completely addicted to their advice on life and all things lovely and it is a great match for MiH" she says. "The perfect blue jean is a wardrobe essential and this style will last a lifetime."

Other A-listers fans of the brand include January Jones, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jessica Alba.

Drums Rolling.......... Taaa-rrraaaaaaaa!

1st PLACE:  CÉLINE NANO

 The baby-sized luggage mini with an elongated strap option so you can take the tiny tote wherever you go.

A jet-black contrast to the singer's relaxed silver attire, Rihanna makes another style statement with her Céline Nano which she's hardly been photographed without over recent weeks.

2nd PLACE:  PRADA PYRAMIDE

A chic and sleek three-dimensional number crafted from Saffiano leather

Hair dye maven and singer Katy Perry opts for a spectacular studded version of the Pyramide, adding the fashion fois gras of 2012's shoe selection: Prada's very own flame stilettos.

3rd PLACE:  CHANEL BOY BAG

Chanel's Boy bag showed the venerable French fashion house taking a more edgy stance on chic, choosing model and socialite Alice Dellal to front the campaign.

Long-legged lovely and Chanel ambassadress, Poppy Delvigne chooses a chic, white version of the Boy bag to contrast against her more nonchalant black bowler hat.

4th PLACE: RALPH LAUREN COLLECTION SADDLE SHOULDER BAG

Bolting out of the starting gate for spring/summer 2012, Ralph Lauren's Saddle Shoulder bag has been an instant equestrian themed hit in celebrity circles, spotted slung across the body of the most fashionable faces in town.

Frappucino and shades in tow, actress Jessica Alba oozes American, street-side chic with her bright orange saddle bag strewn over her shoulder.

5th PLACE: MULBERRY DEL REY

Designed to reflect singer Lana Del Rey's style and beauty, the Del Rey is a functional tote with an uptown twist. With a classic postman's lock, 'its shape implies structure yet it has gorgeous squidgeablity,' notes creative director Emma Hill.

Jennifer Lawrence 's Mulberry Del Rey tote is a far cry away from the bow and arrow accessory usually associated with the actress, after her leading role in The Hunger Games.
