The Sizzle Query: Skirting The Issue

7 comments

Perhaps we missed the news piece detailing who, what, where, when, why and how exactly manskirts are the new trousers? It may have something to do with the fact that the football season is 900 weeks long and there are very few staffers sober enough at any given moment to keep up with the joneses, but ‘tis strange indeed.

Do Adam Johnson and Djibril Cisse still look like ladies in their skirts to you, Kickettes? Or are these guys onto something strangely good with their female-inspired fashions?

Rainy Day At The Races: Darren Fletcher, Wayne Rooney & Wes Brown

4 comments

What would a day at the races be without a few (former and current) Manchester United players?

Probably a less profitable one, as lordy these lads like to gamble.

Only three ‘ballers braved yesterday’s rain in their Chester Races suited finery: Darren Fletcher (with wife, Hayley Grice), Wayne Rooney (also joined by his wife, Coleen) and ex-United teammate/current Sunderland player Wes Brown (who went without Leanne Wassell).

Despite Wayne having the hook-me-up-bookie glint in his eye, he and Col’s horse Pippy came in dead last. Presumably they then retreated home to read “Chicken Soup for the Lighter Pockets’ Souls” in each of their His & Hers walk-in shoe closets.

Definitely Not Rich List: John Carew

Now that a court has declared West Ham’s John Carew bankrupt, he can’t afford to buy any more “outfits” like these.

For shame.

But not really.

While his Colombian girlfriend is making waves on YouTube with her new single, Gerard Pique is working his own magic on the opposite sex with these newly-released H.E. by Mango modelling shots.

Which GP is hotter in your opinions, Kickettes? Pensive & Partially Pouty in Plaid or Sexy & Smiley in Solid (Colours)?

Irina Shayk: Spotted in Yves Saint Laurent

We’re just going to assume that you’re as perplexed by this White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner as we are. So perhaps it’s no surprise that Irina Shayk was there since even Lindsay Lohan was invited.

For just such an occasion, Shayk chose a white silk Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuit with a gold chain belt from the Fall 2011 collection. We think this is a pretty fab look and we love that she didn’t wear a traditional gown and kept the accessories minimal.

What’s up with Ms. Shayk and Mr. Ronaldo, though? Lunch time conversation at Kickette HQ is often speculative of the status of their relationship. Do you think these two are still an item? We know Shayk’s been busy with her Intimissimi Perfect Bra tour and may not have a lot of time to spend in Madrid, but long distance love can only go so far. We’ll dig a little deeper this week.

In the meantime, how do you feel about Shayk’s White House look?

Bouchra van Persie: Spotted In Stella McCartney

Bouchra van Persie must have had an inkling that her man would be taking home the bacon from the PFA Player of The Year Awards last night because she spared no expense with her look.

Mrs. VP wore a full-length Spring 2012 Stella McCartney dress and carried a gorgeous yellow Bottega Veneta knot clutch.

Now, we know every version of this dress as been around the block and then some, but somehow it feels fresh on her. Maybe it’s the classic pairing of blue and yellow that’s making it stand out for us.

Even if you don’t like her choice of ensemble, you can’t hate on her hair. We’re booking a Keratin treatment, like, yesterday. What do you think of Bouchra’s look?

Get The Look: Frankie Sandford’s Fab Neon

It was going to take one heck of a fashion act of contrition for us to forgive Ms. Sandford for using her Birkin as an umbrella, but we think she’s done it.

While in L.A. with her bandmates last week Frankie hit all the Spring trend nails on the head. We are all about neon for Spring and this in-your-face Elizabeth and James blazer is the way to do it. She was also brave enough to tackle one of Spring’s most daring trends – the bra top.

Our abs need a little lot more work before we can pull off a bra top, but luckily our feet are always good to go so we’ll just claim Frankie’s Christian Louboutin Melides wegdes for our own.

Now back to the neon. We’ve scoured the interwebs to bring you our favorite neon accessories.

Abbey Crouch: Spotted In Vintage

Abbey Crouch did her best fembot impersonation on the Brit Awards red carpet last night.

She donned an adorable 1960s vintage pink tweed dress via William Vintage and a simple pair of Christian Louboutin Pigalle heels. Even though she’s still showing more leg than a bucket of chicken, we think this is a big departure from her usual style.

Her hair and make-up were smartly kept in a 1960s style with a heavy-lidded eye, light pink lips and loose curls.

There’s no Herve Leger in sight and for that we’re thankful. What do you think of this look on Abbey?

Victoria, Victoria Beckham: Fall 2012

Even we’re getting annoyed at our praise for Victoria Beckham, but the woman can just do no wrong lately. Victoria presented her other eponymous collection at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday and the reviews are just as rave as they are for her mainline collection. The Victoria line is full of dresses that every girl will want to wear. Which is exactly why Net-a-Porter is already on its second order having only stocked the dresses since Wednesday and Harvey Nichols has a waiting list a mile long.
