We have a feeling this may not be a popular opinion, but… we still kinda love these Tom Ford ‘Nikita’ sunglasses. They make a nice change from all of the bug-eye and aviator styles that’ve dominated the past few years (not that we don’t love those, too, mind you: The Fashion Police are sunglasses junkies), and they have a nice little retro twist to them, too, which is always appreciated round these here parts.

“Iconic” and “spiritual” are the two words the people at Colette feel best describe these pink bracelets by Luis Morais.
Given that the bracelets in question retail for £787 / $1285, we’d like to suggest two more words. They are: “daylight” and “robbery”. The fact that the clover detail is 18c gold doesn’t change our assesment of that, either.
Anyone like to suggest any more?

The Dress Like a Toddler Trend strikes again!
Today, though, we’re not here to discuss whether or not adults should be wearing cuddly animals on their heads: we’re here to find out if you can guess which of the two items above is a designer hat, and which is from a high street chain. And while we’re on the subject, which one do you prefer, assuming you’d wear either of them?
Check back tomorrow for the answer!
[EDIT: or take a look below the jump for the answer, which has now been added!]

 We were going to play Guess What It Is with this, but what the hell, we’ll just tell you: it’s a brooch.
A furry brooch.
A $216 furry brooch. Which, OK, isn’t the most blatant example of Daylight Robbery we’ve ever seen, but the fact that there are people who would walk into a store and think this was worth dropping $200+ on fascinates us.
Seriously, shoes or furry brooch, shoes or furry brooch? Anyone going to go for “furry brooch”? Is so, here’s where to get it…

We’re assuming this hat is designed for those who like to commit acts of Daylight Robbery. Fittingly, then, it costs £212 at Colette, and will allow you to keep your identity a secret AND your nose warm. Multitasking! We love it!
Still, at least your warm nose will be a source of comfort to you as you languish in the Fashion Police jail – or possibly even the REAL jail if someone becomes alarmed by your anonymous presence and decides you must be up to no good…

If Kelly Osbourne is ever looking for a pair of earrings to wear with the “everything but the kitchen sink” necklace she wore earlier this week, Alexander McQueen has just the thing for her. These fork and knife earrings are £155 at Browns, and they’ll also come in handy if you start to feel peckish while you’re out and about. Tempted?

 OK, we’re lost: we’re big fans of Helene Berman’s wonderful collection of hats, but we’ve been racking our brains (doesn’t take us long, to be fair) and we just can’t work out why you’d need a veil on your beanie. All we can come up with is a particularly freezing funeral or a very formal fireworks display/other outdoor event that leaves you out in the cold for hours.
If you can enlighten us on the use of this object, we’d greatly appreciate it.

 Now that coffee is a fashion accessory (just ask the Olsen twins if you don’t believe us about that), there obviously has to be a way to make SOME people’s coffee more exclusive than others. Well, it just wouldn’t do to have MK & Ashley tottering around clutching the same old cardboard containers as the rest of us, would it?
Luckily, Azumi & David (you may remember them from such items as The Boot Bag Handbag and Stick on Sunglasses. We think they’re awesome.) are ON IT. They’ve developed this “Muff” for your mug, which slides on over the cardboard, and allows you to feel like you’re better than other people. Or just allows you to bring fashion to even the most mundane of objects, if you prefer to view it that way.
The “Mug Muff”, as we like to think of it, costs $57.29 at Colette. What we want to know, though is: how come Louis Vuitton didn’t come up with this first? Or did they?

OK, is anyone else seeing an Alice band with a couple of ears and a bit of lace stuck to it?
Can someone explain what the OTHER £260 is for here?
Or, indeed, where you'd actually WEAR such an item? Disney themed funerals?
Your input would be appreciated: The Fashion Police are very confused by this development. Oh, and in case you're wondering, here's what it looks like on:

Crime Report Received from: Officer Sara
Alleged Crime: Item is a pink headband with “zany” pom poms. Enough said.
Scene of Crime: Topshop
Fashion Police Comments: Last we checked, Halloween was still a few months away, so the real mystery here isn’t why this item exists, but how on earth it managed to be SOLD OUT?
Verdict: Guilty as charged.
