Humour us here, readers. Imagine a tail on the back of this jumpsuit. Now imagine a long trunk growing out of the model’s nose, and a large pair of flapping ears.
Uncanny, isn’t it? And hey: it may be one of the least flattering items of clothing we’ve ever seen (and we’ve seen a LOT of unflattering items of clothing) but at least it lives up to its name. Totally.

Have you ever wondered what the love-child of a moonboot and a Fit Flop would look like? No, of course you haven’t, why would you? But clearly someone has, and then they went a step further and put it into production. Now, I am all for the benefits of Fit Flops and the new range of boots they have just released feature some styles which are far better looking than this one (but let’s face it, that wouldn’t exactly be difficult now, would it?). The boots have the same leg-toning attributes of their summer flip flop cousins, only in a more practical style for the coming winter. But these? Really, there is no excuse and they are therefore thrown into Fashion Police jail for being a Crime of Fashion.
If you disagree however, you can buy their freedom here, for £85.

Searching for the perfect cross-body bag? Love our feathered friends? Then this may well be just the ticket. Soft-as-butter leather with elegant gold bird-shaped hardware, this Marc by Marc Jacobs number is big enough for a book, brolly, purse and other everyday accoutrements without being so big you feel like you’re lugging the kitchen sink. If only the price was a little more purse friendly, I’d be carrying one right now.
£420 from Net-a-Porter (also available in tan)

It’s the season of the Ugg, folks. Now, the boots we can just about understand. No, they’re not pretty, but there’s no denying that they are cosy, and sometimes when you live in a cold climate that’s all you really care about.
We have no idea why you’d need a sheepskin bag, though. Not unless you were in the habit of carrying baby animals around in it, or some other item that needed to be kept warm at all times.
Of course, if you DO frequently find yourself carrying such cargo in frosty climes, this is £130 from My-Wardrobe.

Worst case of VPL EVER
OK, we’ve given this item much more thought than it actually deserves, and we can’t think of a single scenario in which we’d willingly pay £160 for something to completely and utterly useless. Can you? If you can, hand over your hard-earned cash to Yoox.com.

![anti-wrinkle-bra anti wrinkle bra [Guest Post] La Decollette Anti wrinkle Bra because I dont already have enough to worry about](http://www.thefashionpolice.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/anti-wrinkle-bra.jpg)
The Anti-Wrinkle Bra
Selina McEntee writes…
When I look at this picture I can’t help but imagine a couple of teenage boys hovering near the lingerie department and sniggering to themselves: “dude, check it out, that dummy’s got her bra on backwards and you can totally see her nipples”.
But what appears at first sight to be a racer-back bra worn backwards (because, you know, that can happen) is actually the La Decollette Anti-Wrinkle Bra, and according to the website when you wear this to bed at night “your breasts are more or less forced to stay in place so no vertical wrinkles will occur and your cleavage will stay smooth”.
Up until this point I was blissfully unaware of the possibility of vertical cleavage wrinkles, now I find myself peering down at my (admittedly rather generous) cleavage at every opportunity, searching for signs of the pesky blighters. I thought I’d found one yesterday – turns out it was just a dog hair. Ok so I am getting nearer to 40 and my skin is a little more ‘crepey’ than it used to be, but I can’t imagine actually wearing this to bed and I’d rather my breasts weren’t ‘forced’ to do anything thank you very much. Plus sometimes at the end of the day it’s really nice to just, well, let the girls free quite frankly. (Admit it ladies, you know exactly what I mean!)
So what about you? Do you worry about your ‘vertical wrinkles’? Would you buy this? If you would it’s 49.95 Euros, available here.
