 For those looking for all the style of a hoodie, but none of the actual function of one (i.e. warmth), Topshop’s mesh version is a bargain at £30.
We guess there are probably situations where people would find this a suitable item of clothing (are there?), though, so actually, the real question here is whether a sheer hoodie should be referred to as a “shoodie”. We think we’ll probably do that anyway. Readers, meet the SHOODIE. Would you wear it?
They’re not normally known for their adventures in high fashion, but it seems that Dorothy Perkins have looked towards Alexander Wang for inspiration for these zippered ankle boots, which they’re selling for £55.
Now, these boots would never have found favour with The Fashion Police anyway: for one thing, they’re peep toe boots, and you all know how we feel about THAT. For another, they have that strange “boot-within-a-boot” thing going on, and we can live without that too. If these boots MUST appear on the high street, though, this is the kind of designer copycat we like: they’re not so similar that they could be accused of being direct knockoffs, but the style is similar enough to make them a good budget option to anyone who loved, but couldn’t afford, the £620 Alexander Wang originals.
We still wouldn’t wear them, though. Would you?
 Yes, it’s pretty kitsch, and it’ll have a strictly novelty value for many of you, but if you love London (or if you just love Lulu), this little black cab clutch could be a lot of fun, and add a quirky touch to evening ensembles.
It’s £229, which is a little pricey for something so small, but if you think it’s perfectly formed enough to justify the cost, you can pick one up at John Lewis.
For once, Shoeperwoman ISN’T lusting after Louboutins: the mesh boots pictured above just don’t look comfortable, do they?
Dollface reviews Invisalign clear braces.
Keeping It Realtor plans a six-pack for summer.
The Grumpy Old Bloggers have found the secret of long life: it’s vodka. Excellent!

 Criminy!
Our first thought upon glancing at this image was, “Wow, the only thing that would make this worse would be if it was a jumpsuit rather than a dress!”
Then we realised that it IS a jumpsuit rather than a dress. A metallic-tiered jumpsuit. A £1,875 metallic tiered jumpsuit. Suddenly we’re very afraid. It’s like a vision of what people in the 70s thought the future would look like: and they were RIGHT. The future DOES look shiny and droopy, and it DOES come with an enormous price-tag: or at least it does for those of you who’re planning to buy this. Anyone? Head over to Net-a-Porter if so.
We’d like to congratulate Marc Jacobs for finding a way to re-invent the wheel shorts.
We’d LIKE to … but that would mean ignoring MJ’s (We can call you MJ, can’t we, Marc?) flagrant disregard for the Not Broke/Don’t Fix It rule. Which we totally just made up.
For us, these also fall foul of the idea that there should be no such thing as “bloomers” in the world. “Bloomers” rhymes with “bloopers”. That’s how we’ll probably always think of these. BUT, they say a change is as good as a rest, and we know many of our readers have a lot of time for ruffles, so we’re putting these up On Trial to see what you think of them. Do you welcome this new breed of shorts, or do you prefer your crotch area NOT to look like a ruffled rectangle, as in the image on the right? Tell us! But before you do, one word of warning: if you are going to wear these, please be aware that the rear view leaves little to the imagination:
