Why You Shouldn't Wear Crocs

I've got a good reason you shouldn't wear Crocs...they're ugly. Might I say...fugly? I mean...I suppose if you were in your house or in your garden, they'd fit in nicely...but it irks me when I see people who've coordinated entire outfits around their Crocs. I guess kids can pull it off ok...I mean, I did wear jellies when I was a kid, but...I dunno. I'm not one to tell someone what to wear...I just wouldn't ever wear them, myself.

However, even though I'm not going to tell you to not wear your Crocs, I would like to provide a good reason that you shouldn't (Yes, a legitimate reason this time). Apparently, people are getting their feet stuck in escalators due to these softy shoes. Ok, ok...I believe most of the reported incidents were w/ children, so you can probably wear your Crocs still...but watch your kiddies...and your own toes if you guys choose to sport your Crocs outside of the house.

Btw, the first warning we got of Crocs was from Catwalk Queen - I linked the post in one of my fashion round-ups (click here to view)

Shop The Lauren Conrad Collection

Our favorite "The Hills" star, Lauren Conrad (aka LC from Laguna Beach), has started her own clothing line (lucky girl), which will be available this fall on ShopLaurenConrad.com. Recently, she spoke about her new collection, friend feud with Heidi, and other small talk topics on Jimmy Kimmel:

She even wore one of her own designs (of course) on the show. I was hoping for a sneak peek of more designs, but she only lets this one dress out and about. I don't know about you, but I've always liked Lauren's style, so I'm definitely interested to see what types of designs she has in the works.

How's that for making the most out of your reality TV show? You go girl!

What do you think? Will you buy one of her designs from "The Lauren Conrad Collection"?

The Hills Are Baaaaack

Jessica Simpson Does Swimwear

Jessica Simpson is expanding her fashion/beauty empire with a new line of swimwear, which she showed at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Miami Swim. You can view highlights of the show by clicking here.

Most of the suits I saw were pretty generic. I did like image #5 of 18 - the stripey one piece. What do you think?
