So, you know how we feel about the Olsen twins. We love them. Really, we do. And generally, we tend to think they can do no wrong. But then, we have this whole "we hate jumpsuits" thing going on, and it’s pretty hard to climb down from that position once you’ve adopted it, even when Mary-Kate Olsen wears one, and still manages to look like a little doll.
What do you think of M-K’s look here? Apart from the fact that, when you view the picture in hi-res, her Louboutins look about a size too big from her, and it’s hard to know how she managed to walk around like that, we mean? But what about the jumpsuit-neon-belt-handbag combo. Is it a case of love it, loathe it, or don’t-really-care-either-way?

Remember the yellow, one-shoulder chiffon dress that was part of the very first Kate Moss for Topshop collection, and then released in green for the second? Well, either we’re seeing things, or it’s just popped up again at Dorothy Perkins, only with a colour change and a few slight modifications.
Of course, Dorothy Perkins and Topshop are both part of the Arcadia group, so it’s not altogether unheard of for certain designs to crossover from one chain to the other, but we can’t help wondering what Kate Moss will say when she sees "her" design in Dotty P’s.
Although we love the colour of the green Topshop dress, and haven’t seen the Dorothy Perkins version in the flesh, we actually think the Dotty’s version has a nicer waistline and a more expensive look – at least in this picture. And we can’t remember what the Kate Moss dress cost originally (can you?), but Dorothy Perkins’ indigo one shoulder dress is yours for £40.

Coast. It’s where everyone who is ever invited to a wedding (in the UK, anyway) eventually seems to end up. which is why we have so much fun at weddings playing "Spot the Coast Dress" during that boring bit between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast.
We wonder how many people will be carrying this little Coast beauty on the wedding circuit this year? We won’t, but only because we haven’t been invited to any weddings yet. Still, there’s always the Christmas party season, and it’s good to be prepared…

Going from the results of our Identity Parade game earlier this week, we deduced that The Fashion Police readers know their handbags. So we decided to put that knowledge to the test by seeing if you can guess the identity of this designer handbag, even when we’ve disguised it (and made it a little rough around the edges). Spotting suspects in disguise is an essential skill for any Fashion Police officer, and although we’ve gone for an easy bag this week, you never know when we’ll spring a tough one on you, so show off your knowledge and Name That Designer Handbag!
(The answer will appear, as if by magic, after the "read more" link sometime tomorrow, so get your answers in before then!)

"Show us some affordable dresses!" you cried, and The Fashion Police, they listened. Here, fresh from the UK high street is River Island’s pale pink sleeveless dress, complete with flower detailing around the neck.
At £49.99, it’s not the very cheapest dress you’ll ever find, but it’s a darn sight cheaper than designer, and we think it’s rather cute, what with the flowers and the black waistline. (Yay for the return of dresses with waistlines, as opposed to all of those shapeless sacks we’ve been having to put up with for the past few years!)

We touched on this yesterday, but just in case you thought we were joking when we said this year’s most ubiquitous shoe would be the gladiator sandal, here’s the proof that we weren’t. It’s pretty hard to visit a shoe store at the moment without seeing a pair of gladiators staring you in the face: whether they’re stiletto heeled (Just like the real gladiators used to wear!), traditional flats or winding way the hell up the leg, there’s definitely plenty of them around – just see the image above if you still don’t believe us. Mary-Kate Olsen loves them, but do you? Will you be getting some gladiators for summer, or will you just be glad to see the back of them when winter rolls around?
1. Azzedine Alai stiletto gladiator sandals, $625; 2. Oasis gladiator sandals, £30;3. Jessica Simpson gold gladiator sandals, $68.95; 4. Topshop gladiator sandals, £20;5. high leg gladiator sandals, 5. ASOS, £30; 6. Carlos by Carlos Santana Women’s Battle Gladiator Sandals, $98.99

You all know by know how The Fashion Police feel about women who dress like toddlers. But what about toddlers who dress like women? Or mothers who dress like their kids? Philip Lim has just made the last option a real possibility with his Kid by Philip Lim line, which allows kids to dress in little mini versions of adult designs, as demonstrated above.
Of course, the issue of designer clothes for kids is always a bit of a controversial one in itself, raising important questions such as: Do kids really NEED designer clothes? Isn’t it a bit wasteful to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes they’ll just grow out of/ruin? And, most importantly, "OMG, is that trench coat available in adult sizes, by any chance?"
This one, however, also raises the question of whether The Fashion Police should be cracking down on women who buy a Philip Lim dress for themselves and then a matching one for their daughter. We’re not big fans of the "matchy-matchy" look at any time, you see, and so we’re keen to know what you think of it: creepy or cute?
