Wanted: Trashy Diva Rosalind dress

Trashy Diva Rosalind dress Wanted: Trashy Diva Rosalind dressWe came across the Trashy Diva website (thanks to reader Kat) and wanted, well, just about everything if we’re honest.  Contrary to its name, the site stocks gorgeous fitted frocks, jackets, skirts and wonderful accessories.  In particular though, we were rather taken with this Rosalind dress.  The site describes it as ‘very slimming’ and we can definitely see that that would be the case.

If you love this dress as much as we do, it’s $275 at Trashy Diva.

Ugly Shoes: Barefoot Tess Malibu cowboy boot

Barefoot Tess Malibu cowboy tall boot Ugly Shoes: Barefoot Tess Malibu cowboy bootIt looks like some sort of creature just exploded out of these boots.  How else would you explain the faux fur that seems to be leaking out of every seam?  We’re not sure any self-respecting cowboy would want to be seen in them either.  They’re some sort of moccasin-UGG boot hybrid and those aren’t words we should ever have to type.

The side view isn’t much better either:

Style on Trial: Haute wide leg trousers

haute formal trouser Style on Trial: Haute wide leg trousersIs it a skirt? Is it a trouser? No – well, actually, yes, it is a trouser, but cleverly designed to pool in a deceptively skirt-like manner around the feet! Kinda like the culottes that were so popular in the 80s, only longer.

We can’t help but wonder about the practicality of these trousers. One of the pros of the recent trend for cigarette pants is the lack of dragging heels, of that flap of fabric that gets stuck under your every step and turns a smart pair of trousers into shabby tramp pants at an alarming rate. These might not so much flap under your heels as trip you up completely!

Although, they might prove extraordinarily useful if you have polished wood floors…

What do you think – yay or nay?

Ugly Shoes: A Fashion Police Gallery

Earlier this week we showed you some of the ugliest skirts ever made, so today we figured we’d turn our attention to footwear, and show you some ugly shoes. You’re welcome.

In the gallery below, you’ll find just a few of the worst footwear offenders from the Fashion Police jail. Take a look, and if you want to know where to find the shoes in question, you’ll find a link at the bottom of each image, but remember, many of these are old stock, so may no longer be available (which we think is a good thing, but you may disagree…)

Humor Santiago jeans: For men who wear nappies

Humor jeans santiago Humor Santiago jeans: For men who wear nappiesWe are sad to report that the drop crotch trend (which refuses to die) has now spread to menswear.  Ladies, would you date a guy who looks like there’s a soggy wet nappy under his jeans?  No, us neither.  We can only assume that with a name like Humor, the brand is joking and these aren’t a real product.

What?  They are real?  Kill us now.

Gentlemen: you have been warned – purchase these at your dating peril.  If you must have them though, they are £75 at Unique Menswear.
