Vanessa White (of girl group The Saturdays) has a message for us. The message is, “I never think of myself as an icon, I just do my own thing.” Good to know, Vanessa. We’d have liked it better, though, if, rather than the Audrey Hepburn quote, the shirt had read “I don’t wear pants, just this t-shirt.” But Audrey’s good, too.
What do you think of the look, readers? Are you a fan of the slogan shirt? Of the t-shirt-as-dress? Tell us!

These “trousers” (and we use that word in the loosest possible sense, you understand) are by a brand called Guilty Brotherhood.
Well, at least we don’t need to wonder just what it is they’re guilty OF, do we?
If only all fashion criminals were so honest.
(Click here to buy them for £905 – yes, £905! – from Louisa Via Roma)

Do you worry about looking snazzy while you sleep, readers?
Well, this guy – or gal, it’s impossible to tell – clearly doesn’t: s/he is more concerned with looking like a fugitive from justice instead. Or possibly a corpse that’s been covered with a blanket to avoid alarming the other passengers. Hmmm.
Don’t worry, though, our blanketed friend isn’t actually in hiding (or, you know, dead): he’s simply protecting his privacy while he sleeps, using the Snazzy Napper, which, as you can see, is a blanket with ventilation holes, which you can attach to your head, thus ensuring that no one will catch you in one of those private moments.
Yeah, we thought it was a joke too, at first.
Actually, the more we think about this, the more we can understand why it came into being. After all, there’s nothing more embarrassing than waking up on a plane (or bus, or train, or whatever), only to find that you’ve been lying there with your mouth open, a string of drool hanging from chin to chest, and all your fellow passengers looking on and laughing, is there? Or is the Snazzy Napper itself more embarrassing than that, we wonder? Is this one of those cases where the solution is almost as bad as the problem? Let’s find out.
Which would you rather do, readers:
a) Be seen sleeping in public.
or
b) Be seen in a Snazzy Napper in public.
The choice is yours. And if your choice happens to be “Snazzy Napper, please”, then you can click here to buy one for $14.99 (or $24.99 if you want the extra large version).

Socks Pretending to be Boots
Is it a sock? Is it a boot? Is it… Superman?
It’s both, readers! (Note: sock and boot, we mean. Not superman. It’s not that good.) These are Dolce & Gabbana’s over-the-knee-wool-sock-boots, and obviously this is a clear-cut case of Impostor Footwear. We could throw the book at them for this, if we wanted to.
Why is this different from all of the other cases of socks-pretending-to-be-boots we’ve apprehended over the years, though? Because this time – and we can hardly bear to type this – this time we don’t hate them. We have no idea why. We should hate them. We’ve hated all of the Footwear Impostors that have come before them, and we’ve often spoken of our belief that an item of clothing should be exactly what it looks like, with no attempt to deceive. But… we don’t know. We wouldn’t say we particularly love these, either, but maybe we’ve become so used to seeing socks pretending to be boots that we’ve gotten used to it, even started to see it as – gasp! – normal.
Either that or we’ve been sniffing the eyeball bleach again.
What do YOU think of these?

After the shock-horror of yesterday’s Katie Price shot, here’s the Fashion Police’s girl-crush, Drew Barrymore, looking lovely in gold, at the L.A. premiere of Going the Distance.
Drew paired the gold gown with a pair of grey suede platform stilletos, and a tousled hairdo. What do you think of her look?
