Cri de Coeur Fall Preview

Thanks be to Veggywood for the sneak peek at Cri de Coeur's upcoming Fall line.

We give mad props to this company for its dedication to eco-fashion, and we love that no animals are harmed in the pursuit of luxury. However, it's clear that "animal friendly" does not mean "cruelty free." Inflicting purple and leopard-print platform wedge disco booties on an unsuspecting consumer is nothing if not cruel.

No. He's. NOT!

If ever I wanted to vomit in my mouth...it's now.
And that's all I have to say about that.

The Pedicure Boot

"Anonymous sources tell us this exquisite piece will cause captivating controversy."

Costume National sandal boots, on sale for $378 (from $805) here.

"Star Trek" "Fashion"

Headbands are fun and they can enhance many a hair style. Modcloth says "You'll exhibit both good taste and high fashion when you wear this chic black headband with your evening gown and stilettos." Trust us - they cannot be trusted on this issue.

Because if you decide to purchase this headband ($79.99)...





...you may call to mind someone a bit outside the traditional fashion domain.


And, you know, that's your right, man. We just want you to know what you're getting yourself into.

She's a Super Freak, Super Freak

This saucy little outfit was actually Rick James' first choice for this album cover...

...but he decided it wasn't shiny enough. You see, this D&G sweatshirt is comfy-cozy cotton/spandex with genuine leather trim. It was originally $380, but you can get it here for a steal ($89)!

And in case you get caught in the rain while leaning against a lamp post, it has a hood:

(The pants wouldn't fit into over-the-knee boots, so don't even bother.)

Ugly Shoe Monday

This week's ugly shoes are all courtesy of Modcloth. Apologies in advance.

Tapestry clog-style wedges, Jeffrey Campbell, $118 here. These combine the iconic Beau Brummel paisley of the 1970s with a silhouette that evokes platform nurse's shoes.


Open-toed bootie, Irregular Choice, $154, here. I can't do better than their own description: "We have to wonder which came first - the bootie, the platform, or the heel?" The rest of us are wondering why they decided to stock it at all.

Striped sweater boots, $50, here (no designer will claim them). And now it's time for...shoe math!

They said it, so I don't have to.

Words escape me.

Really, Marc, really?! I really don't know what to say.

Stam and I are going to go sob quietly in the corner now.

Should you want to make your hips bigger you can find these shorts here. Tissues not included.

3/4 Length, 99% Transparency

This is (allegedly) a "skirt" by Costume National, available at Yoox for the sale price of $151 (originally $253). In case you cannot tell from the photos, Yoox kindly informs us that it is unlined.

I was hoping some insight about the designer would answer the WTF thought I had when I saw this. About the designer, Yoox says:

Ennio Capasa, Costume National’s designer, after graduating at the Accademia of Brera has been working together with Yohji Yamamoto. His essential and lean style has been defined “ A new cool and chich[sic] modernism” by the New York Times.

"Chich," they say. Of course, I thought this was a typo for "chic", but then I consulted Urban Dictionary to be sure. Definition #5 is:

Verb. To do something to another person so horrible that they would in fact rather have a pineapple shoved up their anus.

...and if you gave someone this skirt as a gift, "chich" may, in fact, be an appropriate descriptor.

Giddyup!

Yee-haw!
My little pony, my little pony...

Sit! Stay! Good purse.

Don't fall for their lines and believe that "if you catch this creative carryall, it will make you a fashion legend!" Yes, you will become a legend. But people will laugh behind your back. Or neigh.

God is watching you....

...aaaand apparently the "god's eye" is somewhere between your cleavage and your belly button, and also trimmed with metal. I did not know this.


"God's Eye Dress" by Antics- On sale here for a holy $149.99
