How often do you come across a pair of shoes that you adore, covet and worship, only to find that your credit card is maxed out? Well, I'm a convert to Browns. Their edit is the best and they have great sales. I'm going to enjoy wearing these faaabulous Lanvin shoes with chain detailing. Cool and classic all at once.

It's no secret that women dress for other women, and men in turn end up scratching their head in bewilderment at our strange and often ridiculous outfit choices. Two words are all it takes to back up this theory - harem pants. I read a funny article in The Daily Mail recently where a man admitted designer outfits on a woman can equal "a complete pain in the arse." Charming, I know, but this did get me thinking about the outfits and trends which women so eagerly put together, only to find get completley lost on a man. This is quite the problem if you're gearing up for a date on V-Day this weekend, so I decided to put together a little list of what to avoid when you're next preparing for date night.

Anything oversized. Yes it's comfy and can look cool in an Olsen type of way, but guys don't get it. All they think is "What's she trying to hide under there?"
Chunky, towering heels. Especially if they're hard to walk in. This will only make you look like you're happy to suffer for fashion, which of course you are, but guys don't need to know that.
Harem pants. Let's be real, they're not the most flattering of pants now, are they? Not to mention they'll think you bought them from the markets at Byron Bay when they're really Bassike's designer version.
Jingly accessories. Charm bracelets and chandelier earrings look great, but if you sound like a Christmas tree, it's time to step away from the jewellery box.
Clashing prints. Two words boys will NEVER understand, no matter how cool The Gossip Girl cast look in stripes and spots.
Anything goth-inspired. You think "cool", they think "freeeeak."

You've been warned!
