Every celebrity has some fashion missteps. They wouldn't be human if they didn't. Nobody can possibly look good all the time, particularly not in this day and age when paparazzi are everywhere, trying to get a pic of you stepping outside your house to get your newspaper in your bathrobe.
That being said, sometimes there are pictures of celebs wearing outfits that totally puzzle us. Here is what we mean:
The Posh one, Victoria Beckham wearing this green mess while out and about with husband David in Los Angeles recently.
Look, Vicky – we get that you are excited to be in LA, where you can still wear short skirts like this in September. Back in your native London you already have cooler weather. But just because you CAN wear a dress like this, doesn't mean you SHOULD.
What is up with the fringe-like pieces of cloth? It looks like the seamstress ran out of time to do this properly. And then to add insult to fashion injury, there is a tie and an equally-hideous green purse to match!
In Beckham's defense, she wasn't the only one with a taste for tacky fringe this week.
Ashley Olsen ran errands in Hollywood this week wearing this brown mess that looks like a plastic table cloth with slits cut into it. Step up your game, ladies!
Now THIS is a trend we can really get on board with! Faux croc in purses, belts and shoes is stylish and very much affordable! Normally a lot of these fashion trends are way out of our budget. In fact, if the tend was authentic croc instead of faux, we would find ourselves missing out on this one.
Speaking of being out of budget, Ashley Olsen's vintage Fendi croc bag is way out of our league, and no longer available. The equally snazzy Elliot Luca "Etoille" bag is too pricey for us at $228.
Baghaus East/West Satchel-$49.99
This, however is much more our speed. This black East/West satchel is faux croc inspired by Versace and is very sturdy and well-made for only $49.99, meaning you could by four of these for what you could get only one Elliot Luca for.
Baghaus faux black croc duffel-$59.99
Here is another beauty we love, the faux black croc duffel inspired by Bottega Veneta. This one retails for $59.99 at Baghaus and goes with almost anything in your wardrobe. In fact, we would pair it with a belted dress that we blogged about previously as another fall fashion trend.
We know this isn't fashion, but it's faux croc and it is too cute not to show you. These pink train cases allow you to lug all of your beauty essentials. If they were just a little smaller, we might use it as a lunchbox, it's so adorable!
We here at Baghaus love the words 'budget', 'sale' and 'inexpensive.' They make our heart go all aflutter, particularly if those words are used to describe any kind of fashion. For instance, when we wrote awhile back about Sarah Jessica Parker's new line and how everything was under $20, we couldn't control our excitement.
We are not quite as excited about Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's new line of clothes, which will be hitting Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Intermix this fall. We do like the fact that the line is prices more affordable than their previous line, though. Starting at $40 (for a tee) to $450 for the coats, it is a far cry from the $655 cardigans that marked their first line, The Row (which is on sale now).
The Elizabeth and James Collection (named after their non-twin sibs) is still a bit pricey, but will be well-made to last, so worth the investment if you have the cash.
We are not exactly huge fans of the twin wonders' work. We refuse to admit whether we watched Full House as kids, because that would date us and we refuse to divulge age. But the one thing about these twins is that they always take fashion risks, even if they don't always pan out. That takes guts, and we admire that. We also realize with the recent rehab exploits of Britney and Lindsay that growing up in the public eye is hard, and yet these girls have yet to show up on a police blotter. If only LaLohan and Brit had half their fashion (and common) sense!
