Women in skirt-suites wearing running shoes.
Unnecessary, and frankly vulgar. The woman who does this is generally wearing a well cut suite and expensive, so white-it's-blinding trainers. Not cool trainers, but very very ugly ones, probably ones that look like the ones your Mum used to wear in the early 90's. With a very sensible haircut. Not cool, no, but extremely sensible, like it was designed to tackle the elements in a head on battle. The awful trainers overshadow the suit, once those bastards are on your feet you may as well have worn a tracksuit.
The excuse, apparently is that one cannot walk/train/drive/cycle in heels (I can cycle in four inch heels in fact, so that is total bollocks) without doing terrific damage and pain to the feet. I know this trauma, my current abode is a good 40 minute march to town, too long a distance for the beloved click of stiletto on pavement. But do I don the ugly trainers? No. Never. Ever. Ever.
I wear ballet pumps, flip flops, beaded/studded sandals, wedges (well, the sole is flat on the ground....) In winter there are many glorious boots to be shopped for and enjoyed and tramped all over the big bad city 'neath a suite.
No excuses.

The jacket of the season - Balmain's Tailored Biker.
The nod to the ongoing 80's trend with the shoulders, but with the noughties sharp point, as apposed to the 80's boxiness. I love the bracelet sleeve, it gives it the perfect feminine touch.
Sadly my love affair with this Jacket is purely on Html, I shall be touting my old weathered and beaten faux leather jacket as I don't have the funds for this beauty.
Still, a new winter coat is a must, but I am fighting an internal battle between a soft strokable glamorous faux fur, or a waist sinching frock coat that will catch the autumn breeze.
Decisions Decisions...

Uggs
Ok, so it's totally obvious, but these so called boots actually make my blood boil with rage. It's for no other reason, but the fact that she started this neverending trudge of a trend for these nasty geriatric slippers - that I hate Sienna Miller. I actually hate her for it.
And really, they are for old dears who can't get their arthritic feet into anything else, and these 80 plus pensioners have the self respect and decency to put some real fucking shoes on before they leave the house.
Uggs are also ugly. The ugliest. Even brand new they are so shapeless they look like beige Christmas stockings, then they collapse in on themselves leaving people wonky legged shuffling gracelessly down the street.
Even bloody Sienna Miller hasn't worn them for three years. So you shouldn't either.

New York fashion week descends today, the gods of Design are raining their heavenly creations upon us, overloading the senses with our apparel dreams of Summer 2010- I appear to be missing my invite! Oh to be in Bryant Park beholding the sumputious creations....
Fingers crossed I'll make it to London Fashion week.
Of course being a big nobody it's rather a long shot. Sigh. Back to feverishly obsessing over the A/W 09 Winter Coat then.

Crocs

These evil beasts should be should be wiped from the face of the planet. They look as those someone has ripped the jaw off a Tweeny and rammed their sweaty hoof into it.

Comfort has a limited place in fashion, and a pair of cutesy ballet pumps, or some biker boots for A/W are just as comfy and thankfully not as, well, fucking hideous.

It must be love, love love.
This jacket is officially on my most wanted list- I am staying in and not eating for the next two damn weeks if I have to for this baby. Westwood-esq drapery and as hot with jeans as it would be with a dress.

It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.
