Plastic “peep toes” by Melissa. Why?!

plastic peep toes Plastic peep toes by Melissa. Why?! 

We’d like to suggest that neon coloured plastic shoes are always a crime of fashion, regardless of who they’re made by. Now, who’s with us on this?

These ones are made by Melissa, and are $30. No, we don’t know what purpose the "peep toe" is supposed to serve either, because it’s certainly not adding much in the way of aesthetic improvement, is it? In fact, it barely even deserves the name "peep toe", because as far as we can see, these are just shoes with holes in them. Plastic shoes with holes in them. That reminds us of something, now what could it be?

Disagree? Want these for your very own? Worry not: you can pick a pair up at Creatures of Comfort.

Daylight Robbery: the £1,695 “dressing gown”

Readers, what would you call this?

dressing gown 3 Daylight Robbery: the £1,695 dressing gownFashion Police Officer Mousy (yes, she of “Photoshopping furry items of clothing” fame) thinks it’s a dressing gown. A really, really freaking expensive dressing gown, given that it costs £1,695.

We agree. Seriously, that’s a dressing gown, isn’t it? And it’s a fairly nice dressing gown, too, but if we wore it out in public we’d worry that people would think we just escaped from the nearest hospital and didn’t stop to grab some clothes first.

It is not a dressing gown. No, this is, in fact, a coat. Or it is according to Browns, anyway. And we’d say the fact that it IS cashmere excuses – or at least explains – the price but… it doesn’t really, does it?

Like it? Buy it here  Daylight Robbery: the £1,695 dressing gown.

Suede stiletto shoes by Gavin Douglas – probably not for walking long distances in

gavin douglas shoes Suede stiletto shoes by Gavin Douglas   probably not for walking long distances in Sometimes a shoe is so eye-catching and “made you look!” that we just have to feature it, regardless of the fact that we’d probably never wear it, and aren’t even sure whether we love it or hate it.

These Gavin Douglas platforms are one of those shoes.

With a 6″ heel and 1.8″ platform, you’re probably not going to be going anywhere fast in these bad boys, and you may not even want to.

But they still made you look, didn’t they?

(They’re £800 at Yoox. Which is a LOT of money for such an impractical shoe…)

Christmas Checkpoint: What will you be wearing on Christmas Day?

checkpoint Christmas Checkpoint: What will you be wearing on Christmas Day? Only one sleep to go before Christmas! Are you excited? We are. Before we head off to decorate the Fashion Police Christmas tree, though, we wanted to get all nosey and ask what you’ll be wearing on Christmas day.

This isn’t our usual Fashion Police Checkpoint because we don’t want to know what you’re wearing NOW, but what you’re planning to wear tomorrow, for Christmas. Do you get all dressed up and make an occasion of it, or is Christmas a time to slob out in your pyjamas, keeping comfortable and just enjoying all that good food and drink?

Dress of the Day: Dramatic ruffled dress from Karen Millen

ruffle dress Dress of the Day: Dramatic ruffled dress from Karen Millen This is our last Dress of the Day before Christmas (we’ll have a couple of posts for you tomorrow too, though, so don’t forget to check-in if you’re bored at work!), so we thought we may as well make it something of a show-stopper.

Karen Millen describe this as their “dramatic ruffled” dress, and, well, we think “dramatic” is just about right, there. Again, it won’t be for everyone, but those of you who’re all about the drama can find it for £160 here.

Daylight Robbery: Robert Clergerie’s ‘Rio’ shoes

ugly shoes Daylight Robbery:  Robert Clergeries Rio shoesNow, admittedly, they’re not the most expensive shoes we’ve ever seen, but if we’d just paid $569 for footwear, we’re thinking we wouldn’t expect it to look like this.

Now, who’s with us?

Style on Trial: Leopard print top by Sara Berman

leopard print top Style on Trial:  Leopard print top by Sara BermanNow, we know some of you are going to be seriously questioning our sanity with this one, and trust us, we’re just as surprised as you are to find ourselves lusting after this Sara Berman top. We are, after all, always banging on about how we’ll wear animal print on shoes and accessories and nothing else, but we just can’t help but want to make an exception for this, with it’s Peter Pan collar, puff sleeves and bow. It has a fab, retro feel to it, and we think it could look fabulous worn with a pencil skirt or pair of skinny jeans. The quiff this model is wearing is just the perfect finishing touch, too.

We have a feeling this is going to be a controversial one, purely because of the animal print, which we know many of you feel shouldn’t appear on anything, under any circumstances, which is why we’re putting it On Trial. What do you think, readers: are you willing to make an exception for this top, or is it still a crime of fashion?
