A daily roundup of what’s happening at the wonderful fashion blogs in our sidebar…

Yay, party for Mr Daddy Likey’s new coat! Denimology talks about why everybody loves their old Levis… Fashion IQ has some tips on how to blog about fashion.

OK, now I think we can all agree that this is pretty bad, even for Britney, no? I particularly love the attention to detail in the ripped fishnet, making her look like a hooker on her way home from a particularly hard days night. Oh, Britney, why do you do it to yourself, WHY? For a moment there, when you started working out and seemed to be at least trying to get your life back on track, I thought there was hope for you yet, but then you rock up in what looks like a scuzzy old porn-shop nightie, neon pink bra and ripped fishnets, and Britney, it’s starting to look like there’s no hope left. Oh, the humanity.
Well, wouldya look at that – Madonna is dressing her age for once. In fact, if we were feeling unkind we could say that Madonna is now dressing older than her age – and actually, come to think of it, what’s up with that, Madge? And why the Felicity Huffman face? I know now you’re into the whole "let’s adopt a rainbow family" thing you probably want to look all mature and responsible, but given that I can remember you cavorting around the stage in your "Material Girl" days, you’re even making me feel old now. Surely a conical bra or purple lycra jumpsuit wouldn’t go amiss here, whaddya say?*
* I’m joking about the jumpsuit, by the way. You know how much we hate jumpsuits…
Normally just the word "jumpsuit" is enough to make me dry heave, but actually? I think Nicole Ritchie here is looking pretty good in hers. No, really. OK, she looks like she’s auditioning for a Mariah Carey video – actually, scratch that, she looks like Mariah Carey (although without the boobs, obviously). And I’m talking like this is a good thing?WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME, PEOPLE?
(And just to be clear here, by "bargains" we mean "things that are still eye-wateringly expensive, but which are, nevertheless, cheaper than they were at full price. For real.)
When I was a little girl, Wonder Woman was my absolute idol. In fact, you know what? She kind of still is. Anyway, my dad made me a crown out of some old tinfoil and a cereal packet, and – by a stroke of amazing good luck – my parents managed to find me a Wonderwoman vest and pants set, which I would wear with pride. So, of course, when I saw this set from Topshop I almost wet myself with excitement.
Anyway, it may not be from the much hyped Kate Moss range, but if you’re thinking of joining the mad crush in Topshop this week as you struggle to get your hands on a Kate-inspired number, swing by the lingerie department and pick up one of these, too. Unlike Kate Moss, they will never stop being fun…
Sarah Jessica Parker has been talking to US Glamour about her new Bitten fashion range – and the fact that she feels to old for her legendary Manolos. Oh no, say it aint so!Surely you can never be too old for gorgeous shoes?
“I’ll go to the market, and women will say to me: ‘Let me see your shoes.’ And then I show them I’m wearing flip-flops. I say, ‘I’m old now. I can’t run around in heels when I go to the market for my son’s yogurt.’”
It’s a big day for fashion, folks. It’s the day Kate Moss for Topshop launches, and while I’m afraid I’m not going to be joining the throngs of people queuing up for the chance to buy something from the collection, I actually think there are some nice, wearable pieces here. Here’s the preview:
As anyone who’s ever planned a wedding will know, choosing bridesmaid’s dresses can be a right pain in the proverbial, especially when you have a selection of women with different sizes, shapes and tastes to cater to. That’s why Lynn Lugo’s Create Your Own Bridesmaid’s Dress service is such a great idea. Using the easy online dressmaker tool, you get to choose colours, shapes and embellishments to create the dress (or dresses) of your bridesmaid’s dreams. It’s a great way to get different styles of dresses in exactly the same colours and fabrics, and once the designing is done, the dresses are made to order and delivered to your door. So no whining bridesmaids to deal with, and no crimes committed against fashion.
