I come from Scotland. It’s the home of golf, so we see a lot of socks like these on the courses. Problem with these of course, is that they aren’t even socks. That would be bad enough, but no, these are boots. Boots that look like socks. Specifically: boots that look like golf socks. Even more specifically: boots that look like golf socks worn with stilleto shoes. Gulp.
Where do we start with this one? Even if they were real socks worn with stilettos it would be wrong. Even if they were normal socks worn with stilettos it would be wrong. Hell, even if they were boots made to look like normal socks with stilettos, it would be wrong. In conclusion, then, it’s just…wrong.
Disagree? Well, OK. That’ll be $19.99 please.

Oh dear, oh dear. Victoria, we like you, we really do. And we realise that it can’t be much fun for you, being held up as the poster girl for anorexia. But sweetie, here’s the thing: we know you have a 23 inch wasit. We know you do. Wearing trousers with a 28 inch waist aint foolin’ anyone. This outfit would look perfectly fine if it wasn’t for the fact that you’re so obviously wearing David’s trousers. Pick on something your own size, Victoria: trust me, you’ll feel so much better for it.

Grey. It’s everywhere right now, and if you’re not careful, it can be hella boring. We think grey is best when it comes in small packages: don’t go head to toe, just pick one statement piece and wear it well. This lurex dress isn’t so much grey as silver, but let’s not quibble. It’s only £25 from Dorothy Perkins, and it would look great over skinny jeans for a more dressed-down look. Don’t go rushing off to look for it on the website, though, because, well, it ain’t there. We’re reliably informed that it is part of the Autum/Winter collection, though, so keep your eyes peeled…

We wouldn’t normally recommend wearing blue and black together, but there’s no denying that Gwyneth looks radiant in this picture. If you want to steal her style (and she’s been scrubbing up pretty good lately, so why the hell not), the dress in the middle is by AKA New York and is a pretty good copy (or maybe even the very one Gyn has on, who knows). It’s $342 from Bluefly. If you’re on a budget, and don’t mind compromising a little, the Snob dress on the right is only £18 from ASOS, and although it has short sleeves rather than long one, and a polka dot rather than plain colour, it’ll let you give this look a bit of a whirl.

I love big sunglasses. I hope they never go out of fashion, and hell, if they do? I’m going to keep wearing them anyway. I must have very high eyebrows or something, because most “non-huge” sunnies leave them sticking weirdly out of the top, so big ‘uns like these are a godsend - and they’re the best possible style for keeping the glare away from my ultra sensitive eyes. This pair are $310 from Linda Farrow , and I absolutely covet them.
The one problem with big sunglasses, though? They always leave big old red marks on the tops of my cheeks…

Yellow. Almost every single designer and New York and London fashion weeks had at least one splash of it in their collections. There’s barely a high street store that isn’t getting in on the act. I love it – but God, is it a hard colour to wear.
The key to wearing yellow is to wear it only in small dozes – a jacket here, a handbag there. You won’t want to wear all of the products above at the same time (and we really don’t recommend that you do) but any one of them will add a dash of spring colour to your winter wardrobe. Prices and retailer info is behind the cut…

Oh, why, Kirsten, for the love of Dog, why? OK, we can get you off on a technicality here with the shorts and t-shirt – sure, they’re not exactly your finest moment, but they’re hardly what you’d call offensive.
No, the problem here is the shoes and socks, Kirsten. Either one alone would be enough to get you questioned by The Fashion Police, but together? Together they’re a true crime of fashion, and I think you know it, Kirsten, don’t you? I mean, why do you even have a pair of shoes like that in your wardrobe? You could be done for possession alone with those, and the socks? Oh Lord, where do we start with the socks?
Disappointing, Kirsten. But no, not entirely unexpected.
