 We get a lot of emails from people looking for polka dot prom dresses, so just for those people, here’s one we found at Warehouse for £70.
This dress looks very "butter wouldn’t melt" in this picture, but jazz it up with some red stilettos and cinch the waist in with a waspie belt and you’ll have a whole other look on your hands. (Well, on your body, anyway. You know what we mean…)

 Our apologies for the slightly shoe-centric posts today, but we talked so much about these Versace shoes when the advertising campaign they starred in (completely overshadowing Gisele Bundchen, we might ad) came out earlier this year, that we felt it only right to let you know that the shoes in question are now available to buy for $660 from eLuxury, albeit in gold, rather than the bright blue that featured in the adverts.
The more we look at these, the more Louboutin-esque they seem, and as much as we love them, we do have to ask: why have Versace started making their soles red? Um, been done before, much?

We’ve made our feelings on the thorny issue of boots that pretend to be socks many times now, but given that the designers will persist on churning the things out, we’re starting to feel a little bit like lone voices, calling in the wilderness. Calling, "Oh God, no, please, not the freaking SOCK BOOTS again."
So when Vogue posed the important question, "Sock boots: the new shoe trend?" we couldn’t help but pipe up yet again to say, "Oh, hell to the no!"
To be fair, these shoes/boots/socks/crimes aren’t so much boots-pretending-to-be-socks as they actually ARE socks, with a stiletto heel stuck onto them. They’re FALKE socks, to be exact, and they were shown at Paris Fashion Week as part of the Hussein Chalayan show.
How do we feel about this, fashion fans? Are we ready to let sock boots into our lives, or are we still happy to slam the door in their soles?

Now, before y’all go pointing out that hey, they’re just like REALLY skinny jeans, and ain’t nothing wrong with that, let us just point out one very important point: the pockets. These here denim leggings have pockets on the butt. They’re not real pockets, off course – with fabric as tight as this, pockets aren’t going to be a whole lot of use to you, really – but their very presence tells us that these pockets were designed to be seen.
Just to reiterate: these pockets on the back of a pair of DENIM LEGGINGS were designed to be SEEN.
It’s starting, folks. The "leggings-worn-without-any-kind-of-crotch-covering" trend is starting.
Hold us.

The Fashion Police like newspapers – for reading. Oddly enough, that doesn’t make us want to carry all our wordly goods wrapped up in one, so when we spotted this John Galliano ‘Gazette’ print handbag over at Bag Bliss, we were a little bit ‘meh’ about it.
This is one of the new line of handbags Galliano is adding to his various other lines, and while we’re still looking forward to seeing the rest of them, we’re just not sold on this one. Are you?

Victoria Beckham and Uma Thurman are apparently among the first to place orders for a pair of these Antonio Berardi heelless shoes (because shoes with no heels are all the rage right now, didn’t you know?) Will the rest of the world follow suit, though, we wonder?
Well, we’d have to walk a mile in ‘em to know for sure how comfortable they are, and there does look to be some degree of arch support, to be sure, but when even the designer himself admits that " “When you walk, it is almost on tiptoe," we’re going to assume that there probably won’t be a mad rush on these, because most women we know just won’t like the idea of essentially walking around on their tiptoes all day. Because that’s gotta hurt.
Like them?

A dress for drinking Pimms in, while chatting on the lawn at a garden party… Oh OK, maybe not, but we like the vintage appeal of this Miss Selfridge dress all the same – it’s very ladylike, but the sunny colour just saves it from being too granny-ish (or maybe it doesn’t – you tell us…).
Lemon/yellow is back with a vengeance for this summer, and you can pick up this dress for £45. It looks better on the model (doesn’t everything?) who you can see at the Miss S homepage.

Time for our regular look at what the celebrities have been wearing today…
Elle McPherson: Look, she’s ELLE Mac-freakin-PHERSON. She’s, like, The Body. She gets to wear what she likes. And she looks hot in it.
Natalie Portman: Looking more saintly everytime we see her. Great vintage-look dress, Nat, but hey – what happened to Scarlett? And what did you do with the body?
Claudia Schiffer: Proves that a good supermodel never loses her touch.
More celebrity fashion after the jump…

Here’s the latest from the almost permanently under Fashion Police arrest, Comme des Fashion Criminals.
There’s really nothing we need to add here, is there?
