(NOTE: If you’re a Hot Igloo website customer and have found that your site is redirecting to here, please accept our apologies. You’ll find an explanation of what has happened below: please rest assured that we have backups of your sites, and they should be back online very soon. Thanks for your patience.)
Hi everyone,
First of all, huge apologies for the fact that the site has been down all day today.
Secondly, you’ll probably notice that now that it’s back, it’s displaying posts from September – or not displayig them, as the case may be, because many of the images and comments are currently missing. This is because at about 2pm today our web hosts, Heart Internet, contacted us to say that while they were working on our server they had managed to irretrievably lose the entire site – and all the rest of our websites – and that there was absolutely nothing they could do to recover it. Essentially, they told us thefashionpolice.net (and, indeed, all of our other sites) was gone for good.
Yes.
As you can see, that turned out not to be true and they have managed to restore most of the site. We have, however, lost just over a month’s worth of posts, and you will notice that the images are currently missing from many of the posts we do have. We have our own backup of those posts, but it will take us several days to get them back online, and unfortunately there won’t be any posts here on Monday because it’s going to take us at least until then to deal with the considerable fallout from this fiasco.
We’re really sorry for the interruption in transmission, and hope you’ll bear with us for a couple of days until we can get back on our feet.

Shoeperwoman admires Charlize Theron’s Christian Louboutin pumps.
The Grumpy Old Bloggers are also talking about Louboutins – the ones Cheryl Cole bought for Danni Minogue. Lucky Danni…
While we’re on the subject of Cheryl Cole, Forever Amber finds herself modeling a set of Chery’s false eyelashes on eBay. It’s just a shame no one asked Amber if she wanted to appear on someone else’s auction listing.
Dollface has news of Lancome’s new vibrating foundation.
And Keeping It Realtor, meanwhile, just turns to wine, with a glass that’s (almost) never empty. We think we just might join her…

This is described as a silk blazer with “sleeve twist”. The “twist” is that someone has chopped off the elbows. Because, honestly! Elbows! Who has elbows in their jackets any more? Elbows are just, like, SO last season! But this: this is edgy. it is creative. It does not, in any way, look like the designer was desperate to do something, anything, to be different, and thought, “I know, I’ll just chop the elbows off! And everyone will think it’s edgy!” Oh God, no.
It’ll cost you £502 to wear a jacket without elbows. If you wear it Lady Gaga style, as shown, with just a giant pair of knickers, it’ll possibly cost you considerably more, because The Fashion Police will catch you and fine you. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Sequins! Crystals! It’s the perfect party clutch, and God knows, we’re going to be seeing enough of them in the weeks leading up to Christmas. This one is by Malene Birger, and is £200 at My-Wardrobe.

Lovely coat, isn’t it?
Well, actually, no, it ISN’T a lovely coat: because it ISN’T A COAT at all. It’s a dress. A coat dress. If it was a dress coat, we’d understand it better: as it is, we’re deeply suspicious of it, because doesn’t it just look EXACTLY like a coat? Doesn’t it seem like if you wore it to a party, say, you’d spend the entire evening explaining to people that no, you’re not cold, you’re not just about to leave, and you don’t want to take your coat off, because your coat is a DRESS?
This isn’t the first coat dress we’ve spotted this season, but it IS the first one to take the “coat” part of its name so literally. Well, we guess we’ve had the “underwear as outerwear” trend going on for a while now – maybe it’s time for an “outerwear as underwear” one to replace it?
What do you think of this development, readers? Are you on board with coats passing themselves off as dresses, or is this up there with boots pretending to be shoes? Tell us!

Now, we know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking this model is wearing denim shorts over lace tights/leggings, aren’t you? And, if you’re anything like us, you’re probably thinking that, hey, it doesn’t look so great, but still, it could be worse, couldn’t it?
People, it IS worse…
Those are not shorts, you see. And that’s not tights underneath them, or even leggings. No, the leggings are attached to the shorts. Yes. We know! Ksubi call the resulting garment “jeans”: we call it “possibly the worst case of “clothes-that-are-stuck-together” we’ve ever seen. Seriously, someone needs to separate these items. Free the shorts! Release them from the tyranny of having to spend eternity joined to a pair of lace leggings! Or, if you actually like them, buy them for $315 at Shopbop - it’s up to you.

It’s been a while since we were last forced to arrest a fashion impostor, but these Giuseppe Zanotti boots are so clearly trying to pass themselves off as shoes that we had no choice but to swoop in and cuff ‘em.
Just to add insult to injury, these aren’t just boots-pretending-to-be-shoes, either: they’re PEEP TOE BOOTS pretending to be shoes. You know, so that you can look like you’re wearing a pair of sparkly peep toe shoes with a toe-less leather sock? Just like you’ve always wanted? No?
If this does sound like a good look to you, these are £869 at Far Fetch.
