WHAT'S IN AND WHAT'S OUT 2009: Striped Socks

This says you are some gothic lolita harajiku gwen stefani betsey johnson pirate punk skater scene queen wannabe loser:

This does not:

Get them here.

Remember those "sister" dresses?

Ever been forced into a bridesmaid's frock? Famously ugly, these getups appear even more tacky when placed alongside two or three similar creations each sharing a basic format but made unique by way of small variations.

Lipsy's new satin color block tulip dress may be available in three different color schemes, but these jewel tones will make you want to embrace, not tear into shreds, any symbols of semi-individuality. Especially when your two girlfriends insist upon buying the dress in the other colors.

Buy the dress (or all three) here.

Stuart Weitzman

I couldn't find this shoe ANYWHERE on God's green Internet...

Perhaps it's just too new and September Vogue's press releases got the goods from a trunk show.

Anyhow, here from Stuart Weitzman's new collection is the gorgeous "Boho" for your viewing pleasure. I'm putting it up here not just to share this shoe with the world, but also in order to make it available on Polyvore. If you haven't had the Polyvore experience I suggest you check it out here.

The Hobo is an ankle boot in oxford style with a 6-inch heel and cute mini peep-toe. This one appears to be apholstered in linen and tweed.

Anyone with more information about this shoe should comment. Not that anyone reads this blog. Speaking of that, I haven't given up yet! We've only been around for two weeks.
