The perfect little sundress, this is about as girlie as it gets, but hey, if you can't wear something like this in the summer, then when can you?
It's by Ruche, and it's $34.99 – get it here.

Lordy! With all that foil wrapping, Rachel Bilson here looks like we could just pop her in the over and cook until done. Great shoes, though.
Seriously, though, when will this trend for super-shiny fabrics, mannish jackets and a general "the80s threw up all over me!" air just DIE, already? Because we don't know about you, but we prefer our Rachel Bilson without the oven-ready look…

It's sometimes quite embarrassing to see what designers will do to try and evade Fashion Police arrest. Miss Sixty, for instance, thought that by describing these jeans of theirs as "carrot fit", we somehow wouldn't notice the glaringly ugly drop-crotch on them. But we see the drop-crotch. Oh, we see it. Well, we could hardly miss it, given that it's roughly the size of Canada, could we?
This model is just glad she didn't have to run for a bus while she was wearing these: we may be wrong, but they just don't look like they'd allow you a whole lot of freedom, do they? Still, at least they make her butt look goo… Oh no, wait. Our mistake.
If you love them, they're £110 and available from ASOS.

We woman come in all shapes and sizes. Some of us are round. Some of us are pear-shaped. Some of us have hourglass figures. And, when we slip into Marios Schwab's 'Rodin' dress, every single last one of us has the approximate shape of a rectangle. With frills on. Great!
Mercifully, the ruffles are only on the front of this dress, so you won't feel TOO much like you're wearing a £1,685 sandwich board when you wear it. Just mostly like that.
BUY: Marios Schwab 'Rodin' dress, £1,685

Welcome back, Miu Miu. You threw us some serious curve balls in the shoe department last year, so we’re glad to see you back to doing what you do best: creating beautiful, ostentatious, totally over-the-top shoes that we’d never wear, but which make us drool like small children at the sight of them.
It’s good to have you back. As for these, though: The Fashion Police are going to have to confiscate them, as we do all cases of Shoe Porn. Don’t worry, we’ll look after them…
BUY: Miu Miu glitter peep toe pumps, £320

We've spoken about the issue of opaque tights in summer before, but lately the lines between "summer" and "winter" fashion seem to have become even more blurred, and while summer always brings the usual crop of people in shorts and cotton dresses, our officers are also reporting lots of sightings of people wearing more or less the same thing they'd wear in winter: thick tights, boots, you name it.
Take this picture of Alexa Chung and Kelly Osbourne filming Alexa's 'It's On' for MTV this week in New York. They both look fantastic, but if we didn't know it was the middle of July, we could easily have been convinced that this was shot in winter – and Alexa is far from the only one wearing black tights in July.
Of course, there's a definite argument that opaque tights are no warmer to wear than trousers or jeans – and lots of people wear those in the height of summer – so we're wondering what everyone thinks of this mode of "seasonless" dressing. Do you have distinct wardrobes for different seasons, reserving boots and tights for winter and shorts and sundresses for the warmer months, or is it a case of "anything goes", and totally dependent on what the weather happens to be doing that day? Tell us!
