If you thought Steve Madden was content to restrict himself to producing cheaper versions of Christian Louboutin’s shoes, think again. Here he is with his own version of Miu Miu’s famous patent brogue-detailed court shoes, and – kerrazy colour scheme aside – there’s really no mistaking where the influence came from for these, is there?
Miu Miu’s Venice Pop Pumps are on the left of the picture (not that you’d need me to point that out to you, of course), while Steve’s ‘Specs’ are on the right – and are available in a rather dizzying array of colours. Steve Madden – we love you, but have you no shame?!
I know we like to make fun of Hammer Pants here at The Fashion Police, but wouldya look at how much fun the funky people on the cover of this pattern are having in them? You too could know the joy of Hammer pants, my friends, if you just bought yourself a copy of the pattern – or you could, if I knew where to buy it. I don’t, though, and to be completely honest, even if I did, I’m not sure I’d tell…[Source]
Let’s be fair here: these nipple badges weren’t actually designed with fashion in mind, but in order to support charity – Breast Cancer Care, to be exact. Now, normally anything that aims to support cancer charities is just fine by me, but I do find myself wondering whether this is the most tasteful way to do it?
Tasteful or not, there’s no denying that they are pretty damn funny – especially given that you can choose which type of nipple you want to wear. Personally, I’m liking the one with the nipple ring…
I’m treading very carefully here, because although the mask and pirate motif suggest that this is, indeed, Britney’s Halloween costume, the fact that it’s Britney suggests that… well, that it might not be. Let’s face it: we’ve seen Britney in worse outfits than this one, so who knows? Still, at least her hair is looking better these days – if, of course, you don’t look too close at the top of that weave…
Yee-har! Ride ‘em, cowgirl! Sorry, I couldn’t resist…
This outfit looks cute on Cheryl Tweedy, but won’t be to everyone’s taste – especially not those of us who’ve shied away from the "high waist/wide leg" trend. For those of you who can, you’ll find both the high waisted jeans and short sleeve check shirt at Topshop, the ankle boots and clutch bag at Faith and the belt at River Island. This outfit is a little more masculine than Cheryl’s, who’s found a prettier, frillier shirt than I have, but hey, it’ll also work for Halloween if you want to go in fancy dress as a cowpoke.
OK, so it’s not actually shocking that Matalan have been making fabulous shoes: they’ve been making them for quite some time now, but the problem has always been that while they’d have lots of lovely pictures of them on their website and in their advertising, they’d rarely ever seem to have them in-store – which is kind of important, really, considering that they don’t have an online store. (WHY?)
Well, I paid a visit to our local Matalan last week (all in the name of research, you understand) and am happy to report that not only are the two shoe styles shown above available in-store, they’re completely gorgeous, too. I’m now the proud owner of the pewter Mary Janes, which are made of a lovely soft, cracked leather, and I have a feeling I’ll be going back soon for the patent court shoes, which come in black or purple, and have metallic detailing on the heel and a "much more expensive than £12" look about them. For yes, folks, the most remarkable thing about these shoes is that they’re only £12. Twelve. Pounds. Go get ‘em – before I get them first…
It’s a first fashion-offense for the usually impeccably dressed Nicole Kidman, but, unfortunately for Nic, it was a pretty big one…
Nicole turned up at the ARIA Awards this week with husband Keith Urban, in an almost totally see-through dress. (Nicole that is, not Keith. If Keith Urban had been in a see-through dress, this would be a whole different post altogether…). No wonder she threw the coat on after her little "meet and greet" session with the crowd – I’ve had nightmares about going out in public in something as revealing as this. I bet Britney would like it, though.
We’ve been a little slow on the uptake with this one, but one of our favourite vintage-style fashion retailers, ModCloth is giving away an accessories goodie bag, and there’s still time to win – just.
All you have to do is visit ModCloth’s new blog, ModLife and post a comment on one of the entries. Everyone who does so will be automatically entered into the draw to win the gift bag, which is worth $150 and contains earrings, necklaces, headbands and a scarf. Sounds good to us…
Let’s be fair here: these
