Style On Trial: Double leopard print

Dolce and Gabbana contrast leo print dress Style On Trial: Double leopard printWe all know double denim is back with a bang this summer, but what about this dress, readers?  What do you think of double leopard print?

Now the Fashion Police are partial to a bit of leopard print – shoes, cardigans, tank tops – we own them all.  But would we wear them all at the same time?  Probably not.  So when we came across this dress (the stuck together equivalent of a leopard print skirt worn with a leopard print top) we weren’t sure what to make of it. That’s why we’re putting it on trial with you.  Would you wear this or should it be forever consigned to Fashion Police jail?

If you like it and want to rescue it from an eternity in impoundment, you can do so for €1145 here.

Spot the Difference: Butterfly shoes by Dolce & Gabbana and Schuh

schuh vs dandg Spot the Difference: Butterfly shoes by Dolce & Gabbana and Schuh

Shoeperwoman reported this blatant case of designer-inspiration to us last week, pointing out that Schuh’s ‘Frenchie’ pumps (£64.99) bear a more-than-passing resemblance to Dolce & Gabbana’s butterfly-embellished court shoes ($675, now sold out) from last season.

When you see the two side-by-side, the differences are immediately apparent, but still, this is pretty much an open-and-shut case, wouldn’t you say? The Schuh versions are also available in red, however, should you wish to make the differences even more apparent.

Case closed.

Topshop ruched side leggings: for that “wrinkled legs” look

Topshop ruched side leggings Topshop ruched side leggings: for that wrinkled legs lookIt’s Nora Batty’s tights!  Or leggings should we say.  Only the wrinkles in your stockings wouldn’t be confined to your ankles if you wore these, dear readers.  Oh no, in these, you can have wrinkles right the way up your legs!

Now we could very argue that this is yet another example of Pointless Clothing.  Aren’t leggings supposed to be fitted, showing off the shape of your legs, an alternative to tights?  Yet these are none of those things and we were more than a little horrified to spot them hanging in the fashion mecca that is Topshop.  And on closer inspection, we noticed that there are buttons all the way down the side of legs.  Why?  We would like to think that they are for decoration purposes only, and you are not in fact, able to actually unbutton them.  But these days?  Fashion criminals abound and you can never be too sure.

Approach this garment with caution, it may be dangerous.  However, if you do find you like them, you can buy them here for £22.

Handbag of the week: Karen Millen cutwork tote

Karen Millen cutwork bag Handbag of the week: Karen Millen cutwork tote

We love this bag! It’s so pretty, the cutwork creating a lovely lace effect; so easy to wear, what with white being such a neutral; and so spacious without being oversized, making it conveniently large enough for all your bits without making you look like a bag lady!

And what we like even more is the price! I mean, we’re not talking bargain basement here, but for a quality leather number that, with care, will outlive fashion’s current love affair with lace, £185 isn’t going to break the bank…

Get yours from the Karen Millen website. Where, if you need one more reason to shop, you can pay with your paypal balance. Let’s face it – that’s not even real money!
