We’ve been thinking about this (rather a lot, actually) and we’ve come to the conclusion that it would probably be easiest all round if we just give Miss Selfridge all our money and they give us all their dresses. That’s clearly what they’re trying to make happen anyway, and who are we to argue in the face of such loveliness?
This daisy print dress may be a little too sweet and childlike for some of you, and a little too "flower girl" for others, but it’s also adorable, and if you can pull off the "sweeter than double chocolate chip cookies" look, you can buy this for £50.

It’s almost summer, which means it’s time to start thinking about swimwear. Of course, most of us would probably prefer not to think about the types of swimwear pictured above, which kinda scream out "I have absolutely no intention of swimming, but LOOK AT ME anyway!", but that’s too bad because The Fashion Police are going to make you think about them. In fact, we’re going to go even further than that and make you pick one to wear. If you don’t wear one, you die*. Simple!
Yes, folks, it’s this week’s edition of Wear or Die and we want to know which of these two swimsuits you’d wear if you had no other choice. Will it be the "belly window" white number, or the slightly less revealing black one which, sadly, has the Victoria’s Secret logo stamped all over it, just to keep the fug count high. Tell us! (Or, you know… die.)
* Note: Not really. Just pretend. No one call the cops.

Sunglasses. They can hide eye bags, deflect attention away from a bad hair day, and just generally make you feel more glamorous. Oh, and they can make you look like you have tar dripping down your face, if they’re these ones by Anna ter Haar. At last, our quest for fashion accessories that will allow us to look like we just ran from a burning building is over.

Remember earlier this week, when we were trying to figure out whether Gwyneth Paltrow looked fabulous or fashion-criminal-ish in her many "stilettos and short skirts" ensembles? Well, looks like Gwyneth herself decided to help us make up our minds, with this little "Look! I could totally be naked under this!" dress.
Too far, Gwyneth, you just went too damn far…

 As The Fashion Police were imbibing our first drops of caffeine this morning, and checking up on the fashion criminals currently in our cells, it suddenly occurred to us that hey, it’s been at least a couple of weeks since we last compared harem pants to diapers and illustrated our point with a picture of a woman looking like she needs to get to a bathroom fast.
Well, we couldn’t possibly allow harem pants to get off scott free all month, so here you go: La Redoute’s harem pants, on sale for $12.99.
And another pair of low-crotch pants join the section of the Fashion Police jail built just for them…

 Brace yourselves, fashion fans: the official Most Fabulous Person in the World Ever is releasing a single!
Yes, Agyness Deyn sings lead vocals on ‘Who’ by Five O’Clock heroes, which will be released on June 23rd, on vinyl and as a digital download. Agyness will also appear in the video for the song, and if there’s not some kind of acting role in her future, The Fashion Police will be very surprised. Is there nothing Agyness can’t do?

We were going to put these Chloe foldover clutches up On Trial this morning, but we’ve already had a Chloe handbag on trial this month, and actually, the more we look at these bags, the more we like them. We’re not saying we’d cough up £581 for one, because that’s a pretty expensive piece of origami right there, but we do rather like these, and if Chloe would kindly provide the instructions on how to fold your own, we’d be right there.
What do you think of them?

At first we thought this dress was covered in lightning bolts – you know, for that kinda "witchy" look that’s always such a hit on prom night. Then we realised that as the dress is called "Cat Claw", the effect is actually supposed to create the impression that just as you were about to walk out the door, the cat jumped on you and clawed you to death. Then our heads exploded, and we couldn’t make sense of anything any more: all we could do was stare at the dress in horrified disbelief, wondering, "WHO WOULD DO THAT TO THEMSELVES?"
Thanks to Katie and Sarah for reporting this crime against fashion. Remember, if you spot an ugly prom dress on your travels through the web, it’s your duty to report it to The Fashion Police. Together we will fight these prom dress crimes!

The answer to the prayers of anyone who’s ever wanted to wear a strapless dress without worrying about it falling down all night, this Wheels and Doll Baby dress isn’t the kind of thing we’d usually go for, but there’s something very ladylike about it that we like – possibly the pussy bow at the neck. This is £200, so it’s not cheap, but if you have an appropriately posh occasion to wear it to, who’s counting?
Nominate a Dress of the Day! If you’ve seen a dress you really think should be featured here at The Fashion Police, don’t forget to tell us about it…

They appear in the stores every summer, but most of the women we know approach white jeans with caution – either because they’re worried about getting them stained, they’re worried they’ll be less than flattering on, or they’re just worried they’ll look like Liz Hurley. All are valid concerns, and yet there’s still something about white jeans that makes us wonder if we should really be wearing them.
Well, The Fashion Police HQ is home to a small, but very muddy police dog (We use him to sniff out the Crocs…) so white jeans wouldn’t last more than a few minutes round these here parts. Despite this, we think they can look fabulous worn with a nautical style stripy t-shirt and some bright sandals. In fact, we reckon they can be surprisingly versatile, for those who can get away with them. What do you think? Do you/would you wear white jeans?
