London - The wife of England's football captain David Beckham has laid down the law of chic for ordinary women aspiring to Victorian Posh-ness.
Fresh from strutting her stuff on Milan's ready-to-wear catwalks for designer Roberto Cavalli, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham published her "Ten Commandments" on how to dress-to-impress in Britain's Glamour magazine.
Fashion victims lacking in spare time and especially spare change, however, will need to seek their inspiration elsewhere.
"I was in Japan not long ago, and I went High Street shopping and picked up loads of great clothes," enthuses Mrs Beckham, who advises readers "to do their shopping all over the world".

"It's fantastic because they make everything in tiny sizes," she added slyly.
Among the most sacred of Victoria's commandments are these: never, ever leave home without one's "sunnies" (sun glasses), and idolise American movie icon Audrey Hepburn.
"The right bag, shoes or sunglasses can make or transform the look of an outfit," intones the former pop diva, who also let drop that she drops £100 000 per annum on her wardrobe.
Victoria, who recently compared herself and her three young boys to Lynette on the US television hit Desperate Housewives, also nudged her readers toward deconstructivist creativity, especially with a pair of scissors.
"I've always been really into customising my clothes, like cutting the waistband off jeans to make them lower on my hips. I also wear T-shirts inside out," she wrote.
Finally, Victoria suggests that one should, in fact, keep some things secret, and not "let it all hang out".
"It is much sexier to leave a little to the imagination," she says.
