Flares!

We think they look a little strange either way – the ankles are bunched up when the zips are zipped, and the flare section is wrinkled and messy when the zips are unzipped.

What do you think you think though?  Would you buy 2-in-1 jeans or would you rather have two separate pairs?  If you like these, you can buy them at Net-A-Porter for £355.

Heel Condoms: because your shoes need to stay safe too

heel condoms Heel Condoms: because your shoes need to stay safe tooBefore we go any further here, let us first of all point out that “Heel Condoms” is the actual brand name of this product, not just something we made up for the sheer hell – or heel – of it.

With that out of the way, let us also point out that if you were hoping this post was going to be about something a little bit saucy, for want of a better word, you’re going to be sadly disappointed, because it’s actually about shoes, and these little heel covers you can slide over the back of them to make them look a little different: a “heel condom” if you will.

They’re ready for their close-ups:

Juicy Couture animal print sweatpants: a new low

juicy couture sweatpants Juicy Couture animal print sweatpants: a new low

We think Juicy Couture have reached a new low with their velour sweatpants. We’re just really hoping there isn’t a matching hoodie to go with these, because we’re running low on eyeball bleach this week, and we don’t think our corneas could handle it.

In Juicy’s defence, we’d pretty much come to terms with their non-patterned velour offerings (as loungewear, we hasten to add), as long as people try to refrain from wearing them with Ugg boots. In order to wear these, though, we feel like we’d need to dye our hair blonde, let the roots grow out for a few weeks, and then have a really orange fake tan. If you can think of another way to wear them, though, click here to buy yourselves a pair…

Cruella’s Coat: Tsumori Chisato fringed jacket

cruella de ville jacket Cruellas Coat: Tsumori Chisato fringed jacket

OK, so it’s not quite her usual style, but we think Cruella de Villa would just love this Tsumori Chisato jacket: just think how great it would look with her hair!

What about those of you who aren’t fictional villains, though? Could you see yourself wearing this? It does look pretty warm. And we guess it could give a suitably dramatic touch to an outfit. What do you think?

Wear or die cropped harem pants Wear or Die: cropped harem pants editionYes readers, this is your chance to dress like a toddler and look like you have a huge, wet nappy on, or die.

Of course you can’t really choose to die, so you must pick one or other of these delightful pairs of cropped harem pants to wear – and no covering them up with a long coat!

So which will you choose – the Alice by Temperley Martha hammered silk trousers on the left (which we misread and thought were accurately named Hammer trousers when we first glanced at them), or the Vivienne Westwood Anglomania marathon jersey trousers on the right?  Take your pick and tell us in the comments.

A bad case of moths: Topshop patchwork top

Topshop knitted rose metallic patchwork top A bad case of moths: Topshop patchwork topTopshop call this an open stitch chunky jumper, which is something of a hyperbole in itself. We”d question the use of the word “jumper” in this instance.  Aren’t jumpers supposed to keep you warm?  Bits of this would keep, well, bits of you warm, but that ‘open stitch’ is going to make the rest of you pretty chilly we would wager.  Plus you’ll have to deal with the gasps of horror and people asking “What happened to your sweater?” everywhere you go.  If that kind of thing doesn’t bother you though, and you’re happy to give Topshop £65 in return for half part of a sweater, then go right ahead.
