First up: if yo sent in a guest post when we posted about this earlier this week, sorry we haven’t got back to you yet, but things have been hectic here at the HQ and we’re currently drowning under mountains of paperwork and email. Well, not really, obviously, but you know what we mean.
We’ll be sorting through the posts we’ve already received in the next few days, but in the meantime, if you’d like to submit something for consideration, please read on for more information!
Or, if you prefer, go straight to our submission guidelines, which you’ll find here.
We couldn’t decide which colour we liked best on this dress, so we decided just to show you both. The style is very girlie and feminine, what with the ruffles around the neckline and the pleats at the hem, but it’s still a fairly simple shape, and would be nice for a summer wedding or other event – just add heels and you’re good to go!
It's Friday, which means it's time to take a look at what our favourite celebrities were wearing this week. And also what our not-so-favourite celebrities were wearing, because sometimes that's more fun.
Last week, when we arrested Stella McCartney'sbizarre suit/jumpsuit hybrid, we comforted ourselves with the fact that the jumpsuit was probably acting alone: a solitary fashion criminal, rejected by both suits and jumpsuits alike, and forced to find its own way in the world any way it could. For surely there couldn't be more than one of these mutants?
We were wrong. New evidence has come to light which suggests the Stella McCartney jumpsuit had an accomplice: this so-called "trouser dungaree" by Alexander McQueen. Which basically proves that there is no God, doesn't it?
Now, we find the suit above less obnoxious than the Stella McCartney version, true, but we're still struggling to understand just where these items would fit in in the world. The suit is too formal (and slightly old-fashioned) for the piece to be considered really "edgy", and the kind of offices where this style of trouser suit is part of the dress code aren't likely to be the kind of offices where turning up in a jumpsuit is likely to go down well with the boss.
The only place we can see it fitting in, in other words, is in the Fashion Police jail. Which is where it's headed now. If you want to rescue it, we're afraid it's going to cost you £395.
We just don't know what's going on with Rihanna lately. We've tended to like her fashion choices in the past, but this week she seems to have decided to throw caution to the wind and branch out, with a series of outfits which have had us reaching for the handcuffs (more of those later today in our Celebrity Fashion Roundup). The low point, of course, was that puffy tuxedo jacket, which Rihanna wore to the MET, but she's gone for so many unusual looks this week that we're now struggling to tell them all apart and decide which are crimes of fashion, and which aren't. And we're tempted to say we quite like this one.
So this one is your call, readers. What did you think of Rihanna's look at last night's 3rd Annual DKMS Gala?
These certainly aren't the ugliest shoes we've ever seen (if you've ever had a look at our archives you'll know why…), but we're still confused by them. Was one heel not enough for Fendi, we wonder? Did they really need to have two, a wedge heel with a silly little kitten heel growing out of the bottom of it? And does anyone else think the end result would've been a while lot better if they'd been able to just make their minds up and stick to one or the other (and preferably the wedge, to be honest: we've nothing against kitten heels, but they're just a little too indecisive for our tastes. A bit like these shoes, actually.)
What does everyone else think of these? If you like them, you can buy them for £254 fromYoox.com.
It's no secret that The Fashion Police are no fans of the current 80s revival (or last year's 80s revival for that matter. Or the one before that. Wow, you'd think the fashion world could just GET OVER the freakin' 80s already, no?), but despite having a bit of an 80s vibe to it, we do rather like this cross body bag from River Island. Maybe it's a case of "all things in moderation"? (Only not where Crocs, say, are concerned, obviously.)
