Uggs and Peep Toes Collide: Maison Martin Margiela Open-Toe Shearling Booties

maison martin margiela peep toe shearling booties Uggs and Peep Toes Collide: Maison Martin Margiela Open Toe Shearling Booties

So, what you’re basically looking at here, readers, is an Ugg boot with a peep toe and a stiletto.

WHY?

The Fashion Police have been monitoring (and, indeed, questioning) the existence of the phenomenon that is the peep toe boot for a long time now, but these ones really take the proverbial. Seriously, peep toe SHEEPSKIN boots? Under what POSSIBLE circumstances would these been even remotely practical? Even being generous and assuming that people would presumably only wear these with thick socks of some kind (if it’s cold enough for sheepskin boots, after all, it’s definitely too cold to want to have bare toes sticking out of them), we still don’t understand why the peep toe needs to be there in the first place. Wouldn’t these have looked just as, er, “good”, without it? Wouldn’t a closed toe make a sheepskin boot more practical? And, even more alarmingly, now that we have these, isn’t it just a matter of time before someone in the design department at Ugg has one of those light bulb moments, and we end up with ACTUAL peep-toe Uggs?

We fear for the future of footwear. If, however, you think these are the best thing since Uggs themselves, click here to buy them from Shopbop for $865.

Style Challenge: What to wear with bunny ears?

bunny ear headband style challenge Style Challenge: What to wear with bunny ears?

We were going to give you a Style Challenge this week based around a pair of antlers or something, because God knows, the woodland animal look is just all the rage right now, isn’t it? We’re not quite that cruel, though, so we’re going to ask you to style this bunny ear headband instead.

Now, given the popularity of the “Dress Like a Woodland Animal” trend, as we’ve christened it, bunny ear accessories are even more popular than antlers at the moment (and there’s a sentence we never thought we’d type!), so we’re curious to see just how you’d actually wear these. Will you play them up? Dress them down How would you style a bunny ear headband, assuming you absolutely HAD to wear one?

As always, you’ll find the rules of the game under the jump, so take a look before you get started!

Handbag of the Week: Miss Selfridge tapestry overnight bag

miss selfridge tapestry bag Handbag of the Week: Miss Selfridge tapestry overnight bagTapestry bags are one of this winter’s big accessories trend, and our favourite so far is this one from Miss Selfridge, which retails for £39.

Billed as an “overnight bag”, this isn’t too large to be used for day-to-day carrying duties, particularly if, like us, you tend to cart your whole life around in your handbag.

Of course, if you don’t like this one, there are plenty of other tapestry bags available on the high street right now, so there’s no shortage of choice. What do you think of this look, though?
