1. Time says the next movement in luxury is on a micro scale; the tinier the item, the better.  But what will become of our favorite giant tote bags?  [Time]

2. We’ll mark our calendars for this one:  Jean Paul Gaultier may wind up on Target’s Designer Collaboration roster.  We hope it happens, and we’ll shop Christopher Kane’s collaboration with Topshop until that day comes.  [WWD]

3. Estee Lauder will close the brand Prescriptives at the beginning of 2010.  If this leaves a gap in your makeup regimen, try staying natural with paraben-free beauty.  [Elle UK]
