FASHION has been in a real stargazing mood this year, with constellation prints popping up all over the high street. Celestial designs have been particularly embraced by jewellery designers and, now that Christmas is here, there's something rather festive about these star-shaped creations.

Whether you're buying a gift or a little something for yourself, a delicate pair of drop earrings make a lovely addition to a party outfit, while tiny star studs look great all year round.
