The Fashion Police have been loving the current trend for huge cocktail rings, and “the bigger, the better” tends to be our motto. But we’re just not sure about these ones by Betony Vernon, which will make you look like you have a small furry animal perching on your finger at best, and prevent you using said appendage at worst – or it certainly looks that way, anyway.
What do you think of these? Would you wear them? If so, you’ll find them at Colette, where you can expect to pay anything from £370 up.
The Fashion Police are big fans of the cellphone. In fact, so attached to her iPhone is the Chief of Police that it’ll probably have to be prised from her cold, dead hands.
As much as we appreciate mobile technology, though, we have to say, we prefer to use it than to wear it. We may just be alone in that, though, because Jeremy Scott certainly seems to feel there’s a market for skirts that look like phone keypads – and that people will be willing to pay $198 for them.
Is Jeremy Scott right? Would you wear this skirt? If you would, you can buy it at Forward by Revolve.
At frst we thought this HAD to be a joke, but no: it turns out that someone is actually making and selling shoes made out of bread, and selling them for 30 euros /$44 too, which is just… well, let’s just say we kinda wish we’d thought of it first, because if we’d known there were people willing to pay £26 for bread, we’d have paid more attention in home economics.
The bread shoes are sold by Da Da Da, and are made from real bread, so you can either eat them, wear them, or wear them, THEN eat them, if you can bear the thought of eating your own shoes, in which case you clearly have a stronger stomach than we do.
The 30 euro charge includes shipping and handling, and the shoes are available here.
There aren’t many things I love more than pretty dresses. Kittens, probably. But stunning stationery wins every time for me. So when I discovered that British designer Erdem has linked up with Smythson to create the prettiest diaries, I’ll admit I jumped up and down and did a little happy dance. How much do you wish you were dressed like one of those whimsical scribbled drawings?! The red dress is my favourite which is just as well – it’s a fair bit cheaper than the larger yellow one.
If you want to get your pretty little mits on one of these, the larger ‘Soho’ diary is £220 and the smaller ‘panama’ diary is £115. Definitely not the kind of thing you want to throw around in your handbag.
These Beatrix Ong boots probably thought they were being very clever when they decided to pose as shoes, using a flesh-coloured leg to make the illusion even more convincing.
They’d probably have gotten away with it too, had it not been for the fact that the illusion isn’t even remotely convincing, and, actually, they just look like a couple of prosthetic legs. Handy to leave lying around the bedroom when you bring a new man home for the first time, we guess (How he’ll laugh!), but not much use otherwise.
Being a college kid and loving clothes and fashion doesn’t always mesh well. Trying to buy cute, flattering clothes on a budget doesn’t have to be impossible, but lately, CERTAIN affordable stores (*cough* Forever 21 and Wet Seal, I’m lookin’ at you! *cough*) have decided that the best way to show off a sleek, young silhouette is to slash the pattern into stripes…. Now, I’m all for stripes and prints done the right way, but looking like an item got wrinkled before the printing process isn’t exactly chic. Take this otherwise acceptable tank top from Forever 21:
And the placement of those stripes! What a way to make your hips look gigantic…. Sheesh!
OK, we’re exaggerating with the title of this post because a) they’re not technically slippers and b) we’re sure if we looked hard enough, we’d find a pair with an even more extravagant price tag.
All the same, almost £500 for these? All we can say is that someone’s Grandpa is going to be a very lucky man this Christmas…
