Did we really need Hypercolor to come back into existence (nice try AA with the fancy new name Thermochromatic)? I mean really? The 80s, I know just won't go away, but COME ON NOW!

The process is disturbingly toxic, so opt for vegetable tanned hides for your leather goods. You'll need to do a little research but it is well worth it! Jason Lewis only buys the more eco-friendly alternative, which is ever so sexy.

I never thought that I would have a reason to write a What Not to Wear and I never in my wildest dreams thought I would write such an entry about Sigerson Morrison shoe.  But I’m sorry, an open-toed knee-high boot?  I just don’t get it.  Yes I remember an open toed bootie from Helmut Lang years ago that was very avant garde, high fashion and cool but if it is cold enough to wear a knee length leather boot I would think the last thing you would want exposed are your toes, no matter how well-pedicured they may be.

Poor Clare Danes is swimming in this ill-fitting frock that she wore to the opening of Barneys New York and the shops at Palazzo in Las Vegas. Here's a mulitple choice test on her dress. Does it resemble:

(a) a moth-smelling dinner dress found in someone's great-grandmother's attic

(b) window drapes in a retirement home

(c) 80's version of a Grecian Goddess costume meets 70s polyester disco dress.

(d) all of the above

Pink, suede, scalloped, and intended to match her dress, these booties are one giant mistake. No comment on the technicolor frock itself.
