Katie “Jordan” Price Walks on the Wild Side in Uggs

What, No Product to Pimp in Some Crazy Getup? We Almost Didn’t Recognize You!

Believe it or not, this is the best glamour girl Katie “Famewhore” Price has looked in forever.  There’s no migraine-inducing pink, visible boob or threat of an accidentally-on-purpose flash of her business.  Based on those sub-par standards, this is a wee sartorial success.  Like if Lindsay Lohan wore pants instead of leggings for even a second.  WE GET IT LINDS.  You are a walking billboard for your line of ridiculously overpriced leg coverings.  Just because you put them on one leg at a time doesn’t qualify them as pants, you know.  Anyhoo.

On the other hand, Katie’s leopard leggings are eerily reminiscent of Aunt Lill down in Boca smoking  unfiltered cigarettes, drinking a little afternoon pick me up of gin and juice.  What?  Like your family is so perfect.  And paired with boots that put the “ug” in fugly?  While we give a point to Katie for putting the girls away, she loses approximately 100,000 points for the hideous footwear.  A cute ankle boot or a tall riding-style boot (no, not the pink ones from your equestrian line, Jordan), like these by Franco Sarto, would have been a HUGE improvement.

Does anyone know when Katie’s visa expires and she’s recalled back to England?  Between Paris Hilton, Bai Ling, Phoebe Price and the entire Kardashian clan, we’ve got more than our fair share of premiere seat fillers on this side of the pond already, thank you very much.

You Got It, Dude: Mary-Kate, Ashley Olsen Launch Elizabeth + James Shoe Collection

Pint-Size Designer’s Leave An Even Bigger Fashion Footprint

Tiny twosome Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have teased us for months with news of their first-ever shoe collection, a collaboration with Steve Madden.  “Design aesthetic” this.  “Style philosophy” that.  Yeah, yeah show us something, already!

Mary-Kate gave us a taste of their designs when she sported a promising prototype (try saying that three times fast) at Fashion Week.  It was cute with a hint of the unexpected, just what you’d expect from the blonde titan who regularly outfits herself like a slightly mad Himalayan Sherpa just to grab a venti latte at Starbucks.

So, behold.  Their Elizabeth and James shoe collection hit stores recently and we are . . . under-whelmed.  Objectively it’s fine.  It’s a mix of trendy and traditional silhouettes at a relatively reasonable price ($195 to $500).  Well, reasonable compared to three-digit couture, anyway.

We had high hopes for a “oooh, pretty!” inhale.  But instead of a Alexander McQueen-esque edge meets Betsey Johnson WTF-ness, the line is a bit “hmmm, where have I seen that style before?”

Take a gander:

Mary-Kate’s been spotted rocking these suede flat gladiators so they’re definitely downtown-darling approved but they’re also the newest residents of Meh-ville, in our humble opinion.

And these menswear-inspired moccasins.  MOCCASINS.  The word alone offends us, never mind what they look like.

The look are missing something: like, a slew of buckles and  zippers and cutout details.   And . . . feathers.  Yeah, that would have been AWESOME.  Or at least visually interesting.  It’s as if deciding which over-sized layer to mix and match with which bedraggled, too-long pair of pants zapped Mary-Kate and Ash of all their creative energy.

That said, some looks did catch our eye:

What size queen couldn’t use four extra inches of fabulous? We j’adore the ‘Haley’ slingback strap and the sexy arch of naked foot these reveal.

And if you’re drooling over the season’s fetish footwear look, but aren’t ready to fork over big bucks for shoes like Louboutin’s ‘Differa,  ‘Luella’ is a brilliant alternative.

Word is, the Olsens will stick with Steve Madden for another shoe collection next season.

Are thigh-high boots on the way??

Sleek, sexy and sky-high.  Make a statement without saying a word in these BCBG slingbacks.
