When we were perusing the new spring/summer Gucci arrivals at Saks Fifth Avenue, we really liked this Gucci Joy Boston bag in the thumbnail and so clicked on it. But when we got up close, we weren’t so sure. Is the floral embroidery that looks more like applique in some parts, too much or just enough? Or does the basic black and white palette make up for it? If you had the $1,950 lying around, would you buy this bag, yay or nay?

So we know it’s us, and not Nicolas Ghesquiere, but we’re not totally getting Balenciaga’s shoes as of late. These derby shearling high heels for instance, when we think of them in terms of Carrie wearing something like them in a fictional Sex and the City world we get it. But then we think about the real world we live in, and we don’t. Do you? Yay or Nay?

I know it’s Chloe, and we feel bad putting anything of hers in the Yay or Nay category…but it’s pink vinyl. This $1,970 tie-front coat looks a little bit like a raincoat I had in kindergarten, and also one my Barbie had. Which I thought was fabulous at the time, but all grown up … I don’t know. What do you think?

This floral vinyl tote with braided rope drawstring and handles is $28.80 at Forever 21. What do you think? Is is trend-right for spring with the floral motif, or does it kind of look like one of those “designer trash bags” that have prints on them? Yay or Nay?

These just in: bordeaux quilted patent leather ear muffs from Burberry. Now there’s no question, if you’re going to wear ear muffs, these are the most fabulous ones to sport – but would you wear ear muffs? If you live somewhere like Georgia and don’t really have a winter, you might not even be able to contemplate such an accessory, but in colder climes it’s often tempting to wrap your entire head in a wool scarf just to get the mail. So, would you wear ear muffs?

Ok, so I love knee-high boots and I love open-toe shoes, but together? I’m not so sure. These Open-toe Boots from Arden B. combine both my loves for a look I can only deem as overkill. I like the way these nylon knee-high boots fit very snug against the leg, and they’d look great with a slightly rounded toe, but the open toe just looks odd. It kind of defeats the purpose of a boot, don’t you think? They’re for keeping your feet warm on chilly days while still creating a sexy, stylish look, so we don’t lament the wonderful sandal-wearing days of summer so much… But that’s just my opinion, what do you think?

I think I already know the answer, but what do you think of this Louis Vuitton colorblock monogram bag? If you ask me those pink accents look like cheaper versions of the gems on Aerin Lauder’s private collection fragrances. Do you love all things Louis, or are you majorly over the monogram, yay or nay?

So, I like the cape trend, but I don’t know about this Kooba leather cape on sale at Saks Fifth Avenue for $486–down from $695. I think it just looks weird–all the zippers and stitching details confuse me. It kind of looks like they un-stitched the arms of a really nice leather jacket to make a cape. I don’t know–what do you think?

Hmm…I don’t know about these multi-colored, irridescent leather Christian Lacroix Motorcycle-style boots–is it just me or are they incredibly tacky? These boots, featured on
Net-A-Porter for a whopping $1,295, are accented with stud and crystal embelishments on a pointed toe with velvet laces up the front and include an embellished detachable gator and around the heel. I don’t believe any biker chic would be caught dead in them, let alone a wealthy fashionista… What do you think?

Ok, so yes, high-waisted pants are back in, but I think these are a bit much! Ashley Tisdale was on TRL Monday, wearing these charcoal button-accented pants, but they shouldn’t even be called ‘high-waist’–they’re up to her boobs! My grandma doesn’t even wear pants that high… I don’t know, maybe someone else could pull them off though, like Christina Aguilara. Or maybe that’s just the wrong kind of shirt to be wearing with them? Whatever it is, I think she looks terrible. What do you think–yay or nay?

Is she pregnant? Is she not? Then I heard she tripped on stage Monday night. Lots of buzz surrounding Jennifer Lopez, lately. Last night at her album release party at the NY hotspot Buddakan, she was dressed head to toe in black. Hiding a bump perhaps? I can’t see much detail about her outfit but what I can see I’m loving–the black leather leggings. They are super sexy paired with that chunky black heel–I want them right this minute! They remind me of something Catwoman or Angelina wore in Lara Croft Tomb Raider. Maybe I need some overly confident female threads! What do you say to the uber sexy leather legging–yay or nay?

This was just too good NOT to share! Here is reality TV star Chantelle Houghton at the BT Digital Music Awards on Tuesday. For those of you who don’t know her, she was the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2006 UK. I’ll start with the dress because it’s cute and in style and then the shoes and the silver clutch–also totally normal. As a matter of fact, a really easy outfit to replicate for a night out on the town. But then there’s the hair–which looks like something out of a horror film. Unwashed, over-dyed and stringy galore. Someone get her a comb!

It’s a sandal right? Or a pump? Actually, maybe it’s a slingback! Oh no wait, it must be an open toed sha-bootie! Actually, now I’m really confused. What IS this? This “what is it?” style can be found in every store and I’m just not in love! For example, this gray Moschino pair is being described as a “sandal” and is available for $440 at Nordstrom. But it’s a hefty investment for a shoe that is still searching for an identity. What do you say? Yay or Nay?

What’s the deal with this By Francine silk tunic? Is it ugly or so ugly that it’s cool? I just can’t get past the extravagant bow. I’ve seen a lot of geometric patterns this season, which I’m ok with, but coupled with the color combo and the large bow I’m not loving it. I do like the oversized kimono sleeves and shirt concept–it’s very 1960s vintage. Is it worth the $328 though? What do you say, yay or nay and why?

With another season of ballet flats, our pirouettes should be stellar! Well, newsflash: mine aren’t. I never got into them, really. But I did find a cute selection online at Delia’s—particularly flannel, that are available in navy plaid (as shown) red plaid, solid grey and oatmeal. And the price is right—US$29. I would throw them on with opaque leggings and an oversized sweater (and maybe a belt) or with one of this season’s hottest trends—a pencil skirt. Flats are certainly more preferable for walking around an office around all day. But then again, our girly figures always seem better presented in heels—taller and longer! So what do you think—should I start tutu shopping and let ballet flats into my life? Yay or Nay and why?
