To be completely fair, £125 for a piece of designer jewellery isn’t THAT bad, really.
When the piece of so-called “designer jewellery” bears a close resemblance from the kind of art project you used to bring home from pre-school and force your poor mother to wear, however, we think you’ll agree that £125 seems a little bit like daylight robbery. Especially when the piece in question looks as plasticy as this one. In fact, we’re pretty sure we’ve seen those “jewels” in the craft store. And trust us when we say, they weren’t being sold as “designer jewellery.”
This is another fantastic find by Super-Sleuth Mousy, and is available from NET-A-PORTER .
Ah, yellow, how we love you, especially at this time of year, when the HQ is so dark and grey, and you're so bright and summery! We can also find lots to love about the shape of this dress which has a little broderie anglaise insert at the bust to help protect your modesty and add another little cute, summery touch. It's $418 from Matches Fashion.
OK, now we know Angelina Jolie had twins fairly recently, so her body confidence possibly isn’t at its highest ever, but if she persists in wearing these saggy, shapeless dresses to awards ceremonies, she’s going to find herself with a whole bunch of new pregnancy rumours to answer to. The colour doesn’t help much either here, of course, and the whole thing is just too dull and droopy for us: come on, Angelina, you’re gorgeous – no need to hide your light under this, er, bushel!
Awards season is a busy time of year, both for The Fashion Police and for those poor, beleaguered celebrities, who have to tread the red carpet time and time again, each time coming up with an outfit even more stunning than the last.
Luckily for them – and us – we didn’t find too much to concern us in this particular batch of images from last night’s ceremony, although you, of course, may have different ideas!

$750 for a big ol’ sack that we can’t imagine flattering anyone. Sure, it’s silk, but we’d need it to be gold to justify that kind of money for this kind of style.
You’ll need deep pockets for this one, folks. Oh no, wait – if you buy it, you’ll have them!
Get it at eLuxury, which is closing down its retail operation soon, meaning that if you do really want this, you better act now.
You're probably thinking this is just a sweater and skirt, aren't you? In fact, you're probably wondering just what the hell it's doing here, because while it's not exactly the most exciting outfit you've probably ever seen in your life, it's not exactly a crime of fashion either, is it?
Well, no, it's not. It is, however, not a sweater-and-skirt combo either, though. It is, in fact, a dress – and as such, it's a prime example of that most perplexing of fashion items: Clothes That Are Joined Together.
We've spoken about this phenomenon before, of course, but sadly, we're no closer to understanding it. It's not that the end result looks bad, you understand – it's just that we don't see the point. Why not just buy a skirt and sweater if you want to achieve this particular look? That way you get to use both pieces with lots of other outfits too, and you get to take your sweater off if it gets too warm without your skirt having to come with it.
No, Clothes That Are Stuck Together, we still don't understand you. If you do, though, readers, this particular example is £38 from Topshop, and is currently sold out online, so maybe it IS just us that struggles to see the appeal…
We think “sexy” is the word we’re looking for here – although some of you will no doubt have other words to describe Stop Staring’s red ‘Ava’ dress!
Still, the red dress is something of a classic, and it’s a guaranteed attention-getter – especially when it’s as slinky as this one. While the little black dress speaks of elegance and class, the red dress says “look at me!”, and this is exactly what this one said to us when we found it on the Stop Staring website, hence its appearance as Dress of the Day.
Eagle-eyed Fashion Sleuths that you all are, we're sure it hasn't escaped your notice that the platform sole is having a bit of a "moment" right now – and the higher the better. The shoes you see above are from Office (with the exception of the ones on the far right of the picture, which are from Topshop), who have embraced the platform with particular enthusiasm this season, but extravagant soles are everywhere right – and, of course, we're wondering what you think of them.
As for The Fashion Police, we're happy to welcome the super-high platforms into our lives, and, indeed, into our wardrobes, on the condition that if the platform is high, the heel be reasonably chunky, to help prevent us looking too much like strippers. Although the heels on the shoes above are all in the 5" plus range, the height of the platform will make them feel smaller, so they shouldn't be too hard to walk in – or that's the theory, anyway.
What do you think of them, though – and not just the ones above, but the trend for enormous platforms in general? Is it a crime of fashion, or are platforms innocent of all charges?
