On Trial: Ugg Boots

Of all the fashion questions we're asked, there's one that comes up time and time again: Are Ugg boots still fashionable? Well, are they? Let's take a look at the evidence...

First of all, let's make one thing clear: it doesn't actually matter whether or not Uggs are fashionable. If you like 'em, wear 'em. Don't listen to what The Fashion Police has to say on the subject - I mean, no one else does. A better question, then, would be "Are Uggs nice?" So, what do The Fashion Police have to say about that?

Dress of the Day: Red Miu Miu Tunic Dress

Because it's Christmas, and it's red, and it's nice and simple but still gorgeous... and because I've been having me a bit of a Miu Miu moment recently. Bow down to them - they can do no wrong.

Wanted! Warehouse's Occassion Coats

How many times have you gotten all dressed up for a party, only to go and spoil it all by throwing on some bulky great overcoat over the top? Never? Well then, you're a better person - or at least, a better dressed person - than me. I'm guilty of committing this particular crime of fashion all the time, which is why I'm drawn to these lovely posh occasion coats at Warehouse. The only problem is which one to choose? The white is sparkier and more versatile, but green is my very favourite colour... They're £70 each.

Britney Watch: Crotch Watch 2

Are you tired of seeing Britney's crotch yet? Well that's too bad, because Britney's not tired of showing it off yet. GOD. This picture makes me sad. I mean, that's a pretty dress, great shoes - even her hair looks good. And then she has to go and spoil it all by flashing her knickers - or lack of knickers, as the case may be. Why, Britney, for the love of God, WHY?

Candy Striped Tote Bag at Fredflare

I know, I know - it's cheap and very, very cheerful, but sometimes (well, all the time, actually) you need a bit of that in your life, and, thankfully, the good folks over at Fredflare are always there to give it to us. This bag is a mere $20, and, as an added bonus, will remind you of those striped candy cane things you get at Christmas. Result!

I Love My... H&M Virtual Self

People, I'd like you to meet...me. Yes, it's me. OK, I know it doesn't look like me (although it's a pretty good likeness for Julianne Moore, dontchya think?) but this is my virtual self, all the way from H&M's virtual dressing room. Freaky, isn't it?

Why do I love my virtual self so much? Well, it's hard to say, really. Maybe it's the strangely glazed eyes, the perfect, perfect skin, the fact that she can clearly wear a white top without dribbling coffee and food down it, the way the real me does (EVERY DAY, folks, every day...). Or maybe I'm just easily amused?

Anyway, enough with the self analysis. Go and get one of your own...

Anthropologie's cashmere iPod hoodies

Where I come from, hoodies are what surly teenagers wear when they want to break into shops/terrorize the old folks. Where Anthropologie come from, they're what iPods wear when they want to ... be warm. And also: stylish! These, you see, are cashmere hoodies. For your iPod. I guess they'd probably fit some cellphones, too - no one will ever know. They're $36 at Anthropologie - go on, make some poor iPod happy this Christmas...

Style Stealer: Nicole Ritchie Does Stripes

I'd normally hesitate to recommend horizontal stripes to anyone other than Nicole Ritchie because they're notoriously fattening, but if you do want to try and copy this look, the striped sweater is $58 at Banana Republic, the skinny jeans are by Blue Cult and are $117at Bluefly, and the Steve Madden peep toes (which, OK, aren't as nice as Nicole's Louboutins) are $149.95. Oh, and don't forget the trademark huge sunglasses - Nicole never does. These are by Dior and are $210.

Britney Watch: No Knickers

We can learn a lot about crimes of fashion and how to avoid them by observing Britney at work. Brit, you see, is a seasoned fashion criminal: she's done the crime(s), she's done the time (marriage to K-Fed was punishment enough, we feel), and now she's doing it all over again, this time with accomplice Paris Hilton - an occassional fashion criminal herself.

Paris, though - Paris has cleaned up her act, lately. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that Paris has been looking good lately. In this picture, f'rinstance, we can see her trying to stop Britney. Paris knows what's about to happen. She knows Britney done forgot to wear underwear again. And she knows that Britney? Is about to show us all her bare ass - back and front. Pictures are after the jump - but beware, these are NOT work safe...

Style Stealer: Rachel Bilson's Dressed Down Look

Doesn't Rachel Bilson look absolutely gorgeous here? Sadly, I didn't manage to find a jacket exactly the same as this cute little cape, but this cropped jacket from Miss Selfridge makes a good substitute - just sew on a couple of big buttons and you're almost there.Most of us already have a pair of faded blue jeans tucked away in our wardrobes somewhere, but if not, River Island's slouch jeans will set you back £44.99. This vintage style cami from Warehouse dresses up what the jeans dressed down, and as for the shoes... well, the shoes were a little harder to find, but these Kenneth Cole flats might just do the job.
