Yes folks, it’s fashion fright night (otherwise known as “Halloween”), and the usual suspects have been going at it with gusto. Step forward Paris Hilton as a hooker, LiLo as an eighties fancy dress flash dancing hooker, and Gisele as… Wait. What the hell did Gisele come as, again? We’re pretty sure she’s not a hooker, but what is that? Answers on a postcard, please. Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson shows ‘em all how to do it – after the jump…

I know, I know – this isn’t a new picture of Christina, but when I first seen it I fell in love with her pretty, feminine Monique Lhuillier dress, so it would be remiss of me not to let y’all know that the same dress (albeit in green rather than blue) is currently up for sale on eBay… This one is a size 4, and the start price is $399. Happy bidding…

I love Kylie Minogue – love her. And I’ve loved Kylie long time, too – right back to 1988, when I even got myself a helllish bubble perm, in an attempt to mimick my idol. GOD. So yes, I love Kylie, but to be completely honest? I don’t love these latest pictures from Australian Vogue, which she’s just guest edited. They’re just a wee bit too severe for my liking, and also? Her right eye looks funny. Come back, Kylie, with the pretty, fluffy look we all know and love!

I have this problem with dresses. The problem is that I work from home, and most of the dresses I own feel too “dressy” (Ha! Do you see what I did there?) to be wearing around the house. A lot of the time they’re not very comfortable, either: it’s all very well to be wearing hold-ups (Because tights? Are the work of the devil. For real.) and heels at the office, but at home? Not so much. This dress is the answer to my prayers. Soft and flexible enough to slob out in, but pretty enough to be smart, I? Am loving it. And as much as I hate to say it – God, but I hate to say it – it’s also the perfect dress to wear with *whisper it* – leggings. It’s $152 from Girlshop.

OK, is it just me, or does this qualify as one of the most pointless fashion items in the world EVER? It’s right up there with the sleeveless sweater/jacket, which has always puzzled me mightily, for surely if it’s cold enough to wear a thick sweater, it’s too cold for bare arms? Or do other people get cold everywhere else except their arms? Answers on a postcard, please.
But I digress. These peep toe boots fall into the same category. Cold enough to wear boots, not so cold that you don’t want to expose your toes? I don’t think so, Ravel. And also: we know you’re not Christian Louboutin. No amount of painting your soles red will fool us into thinking that you are, dudes.

My apologies for the size of the picture – it was the best the website had to offer, I’m afraid, but I’m sure you’ll cope. Anyway, on the left – the fabulous Luella Bartley and her beautiful tartan dress. (It’s a measure of how very impressed I am by this dress that I loathe and detest tartan… but I still love this). On the right – Additions Direct, formerly owned by Argos. On the left, a few hundred dollars worth of dress – on the right, £35. Amazing.

This is the second dress that’s tempted me today. Can you tell it’s getting close to pay day? Dorothy Perkins are decribing it as an “Obi Dress” but although there is a wide band under the chest, I see no evidence of an obi sash. Still, a pretty dress and one which would look great with either boots or pumps. Boots or pumps that I just happen to have in my closet right now. Hmmm. It’s £30 from Dorothy Perkins.
