Now, this would be just perfect with The Back Vent Dress, from yesterday, no? In fact, we think the two might actually have been made for each other. Well, we can't really think of any other reason you'd need a bright pink 80s blazer with a giant hole in the back.
Can you?
(if you can, this is by Alexander Wang, and it's $795 from Shopbop. We hate to sound like our mothers, here, but if we were paying that much for a jacket, we'd want the whole thing, with no bits missing, thanksverymuch.)

Remember how, just yesterday, we thought we may well have found the ugliest shoes in the world right now?
We were wrong:
These are also by Irregular Choice, are also rather extravagantly be-fringed and are also… well, ugly. And, to be fair to IC, their new collection also contains some absolute beauties, it's just that these aren't one of them.
[Thanks to Paula for the report- we hope you got your breath back!]

![Spl99395 006[1] Peaches Geldof is the new face er, body of Miss Ultimo](http://www.thefashionpolice.net/images/6a00d8341c873353ef0115709062ef970b.jpg "Spl99395_006[1]")
More lingerie, this time from Ultimo, who've just launched their new 'Miss Ultimo' line, with a campaign starring the ubiquitous Peaches Geldof. She really is everywhere right now, isn't she?
The lingerie itself is a younger, fresher take on Ultimo's usual offerings, and some of the pieces are very cute. Take a look under the jump to see more of Peaches (maybe more than you'd really like to see of her, who knows) or visit the website here.

We thought we'd mysteriously gone back in time to April Fool's Day when we first heard about this, but no, it's a true story: lingerie label Lisca have developed a bra which works out when you're feeling, um, hot to trot, and adjusts your cleavage accordingly.
The bra apparently reacts to changes in body temperature brought on my sexual arousal, and changes shape to push the breasts together, making them look bigger. When your temperature drops, so do your boobs, with the cups loosening in reaction to the change in temperature.
These aren't available to buy just yet, but will sell for around £25 if and when the company finds a distributor. Would you buy one, though?

We've said before that we wouldn't be too sad if we never had to see another puffball skirt ever again, and we stand by that, because as much as we like this dress, we'd like it more if it didn't have that hemline. It does, though, and it actually makes it look a little more stylized than would otherwise be the case, so we think we just might live with it, on this occasion at least.
If you could, too, it's £40 from Additions Direct.

A mystery correspondent sent us in this image, which we at first thought depicted an unfortunate "dress stuck in knickers" type of wardrobe malfunction. Our correspendent informs us, however, that this piece is actually supposed to look like that, and she's very kindly supplied us with the instructions on how to make one of these for ourselves: instructions which we now pass onto you. Take it away, oh mystery reader!
1. Take old duvet cover and cut holes to the 'bottom' part of it, for arms. (If you don't have duvet covers, just sew up two sheets together, leaving the corners and other end open for limbs and head.)
2.put your feet through the holes on the 'top' part.
3. use a belt to pull up most of the fabric on your upper torso
4. let the rest fall back on top of the belt, creating more.. err.. volume around your lower torso…
5. make a little knot on one shoulder, and add another belt just under your now non-existent breasts.
6. Enjoy your new hot look!

There;s really not a whole lot to say here, other than that we believe these may well be the ugliest shoes in the world right now. And we say that Irregular Choice fans. Sorry, IC.
But wait! There's more!
