Sponsored Dresses of the WeekWhat They Wore: Celebrity Fashion Round Up – week ending September 3rdCan’t wait for the weekend? Looking for a way to pass the time until it gets started? Well, we find that looking at celebrity fashion photos makes time go faster, so we’ve put together this gallery to show you what our famous friends and foes wore this week. Let Jessica Alba and her amazing mullet dress lead the way! Posted in Celebrity Fashion Leave a comment Fashion Police for the Boys: Rolando Sturlini Marshall zip boots – clown shoes for menWouldn’t you be afraid you were going to trip over in these, chaps? Certainly viewed like this they bear more than a passing resemblance to clown shoes but on a foot they may well look different. Has anyone seen these in person and tried them on? And what do you think of them? Gentlemen, would you wear them? Ladies, would you like your man to wear them? Strangely it seems the larger sizes are the ones that have been snapped up first, which we would have thought would make the turned up end look even more extreme. If you wear a size 41 or 42 and want a pair of these, you can buy them here for the sale price of £85 (down from £169). Handbag of the week: Valentino floral leather handbagOh, look at the pretties! Leather and lace – two top trends right now – combine in this glorious framed handbag by Valentino, perfect for channeling Joan Holloway and the sexier side of the sixties vibe. And we’re delighted to announce that, despite appearing to be of a distinctly delicate nature, this bag is in fact large enough to carry all of your usual ephemera. Which is just as well, as for £1,645 we’d hope for something practical as well as pretty! Valentino floral leather handbag, £1,645 from Net-a-Porter. Something for the Weekend: Sandals, cupcakes and tiny vegetablesThis week around the Midas Media blog network: Shoeperwoman loves River Island’s triple bow sandals. Dollface wants to know how often you get your hair cut? Keeping it Realtor finds giant cupcakes: although, sadly, you can’t eat them… The Grumpy Old Bloggers can see no point to micro vegetables: can you? And Forever Amber is back from the blogging brink and already getting herself hopelessly lost. She would also like it to be known that, despite popular belief, she is not Joan Rivers. Have a great weekend!

What the Stuck Together Clothes Movement joins together, no man may put asunder, which means we’re forced to arrest all of these items, regardless of what they actually LOOK like. It’s important to note that The Fashion Police do not arrest Stuck-Together-Clothes because of their appearance. Take this dress/cardigan combo from Dorothy Perkins, for instance. It doesn’t look bad, as such. If we saw someone wearing it on the street, we wouldn’t even give it a second glance. That doesn’t mean it’s off the hook, though, because these items of clothing have been stuck together. You cannot wear the dress without the cardigan. You cannot wear the cardigan without the dress. If it gets hot, and you want to remove your cardigan, well, too bad, you can’t: it’s stuck to your dress. And if you ever find yourself looking at a pair of jeans, say, and thinking, “You know, these would look great with that grey cardigan of mine,” again, TOO BAD. If you’re wearing the cardigan, you’re also wearing the dress, and seriously, folks, that’s no way to build a wardrobe, or to have fun with fashion. It also reminds us of those childhood days when our mothers would sew our mittens onto our coats, and now that we’re all grown up, we’d rather not be dressing like four year olds. (See also Dress Like a Toddler Trend, The) This is why The Fashion Police object to Stuck-Together-Clothes. We feel we’re old enough now to be able to dress ourselves, and we don’t need fashion designers to weld our clothes together in order to help us with the complex matter of pairing a cardigan with a dress. Here are some more examples of Stuck-Together-Clothing from our cells: | |||||||
