Style Files: Nut Brown Is The New Black

After several hours deliberation, we’re going with the ‘Nut Brown’. You? Images: AP Photo via Daylife, universovip.blogspot.com & Protek

We like to consider ourselves fairly in the know when it comes to the latest fashion trends, people. The amount of money we collectively spend on handbags, shoes and random bits of fabric suggests as much, anyway.

But unfortunately we appear to have been left behind with this ‘must have’ –  the obnoxious orange glow. Yes, apparently looking like a freshly varnished fence is the latest in high fashion and all of our favourite peeps are cheerfully hitting the bottle/can/paintbrush with gusto.

It’s rare, nay practically unheard of, but we are speechless at some of the sights gracing the tabloids of late. Whether it’s a look inspired by Jersey Shore (we’re not totally sure why anyone would want to emulate Snooki, The Situation and DJ Pauly D et al (left), but hey… who are we to criticise?) or a garden furniture show room, our only hope is that manufacturers will eventually catch on to the product shill opportunities offered by this travesty in tanning.

Who knows? Soon we might all be taking care of our wooden fixtures and fittings with a careful (and even) application of ‘Lampard Leather Look’. How marvelous would that be?!

Despite being surrounded by the most sophisticated technology in the modern world, Edwin Van Der Saar (Man Utd), Shalrie Joseph (New England Revolution) and Giggsy (Man Utd) struggle not to snigger at the fact that the image behind them looks a bit like a large penis. Image via Reuters.

The Hook Up: Gonzalo Higuain & Soledad Fandino

Let’s check in on the love-life of everyone’s favourite Argentinian glutes carrier, Gonzalo Higuain, shall we?

The above lady in the silver nightie from La Senza’s popular Space Skanks Collection is Soledad Fandino. She recently broke it off with her longtime beau, Nicolas Cabre, while Higi was rumoured to be steadily dating Luciana Salazar.

Although last Sunday Higuian took to the Argentinean airwaves and denied said love affair with silver nightie girl, the foreign tabs are insistent that this hook up is not only the real deal, but true love.  Knocking pins back together at a bowling alley in Plaza Serrano has that affect on people. *Eyeroll*

What is also uncertain is the vacation status of his booty shelf: some say he’s spending another week in Buenos Aires, while another outlet reports that this new duo is holed up at Hotel Riu Palace in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Either way, Higi is not with his Real Madrid teammates in Los Angeles – yet.

So what’s his new chick all about? Put it this way: the lead shot used above was one of the more demure shots we could find of Ms. Fandino.

We’ll keep you posted.

Vacay: Francesco Totti In Sabaudia, Italy

No, no. It only looks like he’s wearing underpants.

In Francesco Totti’s (wonderful) world, those tight, bulge-cupping to the point of obscene pristine white bathers of beauty are called appropriate swimwear for public use.

Portsmouth FC: Not Much Left In Our Size

Nothing like getting to a Harrods 50% off shoe sale late, when the hardcores have been at it for an hour and folks are getting desperate.  Part “pin the tail on the donkey”, part rodeo, women and children are no longer guaranteed safety first. You know the drill.

Seeing Portsmouth FC’s upcoming season line-up on their website has left us with a sense of post-sale ennui. Much like discovering there are only clodhopper sizes in your favourite S/S butterfly Miu Mius when you know that lanky chick at the cash desk has smuggled the last pair in a human size behind the counter for herself, our emotions have transitioned into disbelief.

We’ve been contemplating if the club’s official Web site is just joshin’ with us or not, though after seeing Daniel Taylor’s tweet, we’re now creeping into the depression/regret/angst phase. While we’d rather say it ain’t so, we think this first team photo is legit.

Still, like every epic shoe sale there’s pros and cons to both of these situs:

Pro: The squad does have at least 11 players to field a starting squad/With annual sales, there’s always next year.

Con: Unfortunately, a goalkeeper doesn’t seem to be included in that mix as of yet / Annual sales only occur once a year. Damn you tall bish with the employee discount.

Chin up, Pompey supporters!

Honeymooners: Yolanthe & Wesley Sneijder In Ibiza

Our feelings for Wes & Yo in summary:

We used to be lukewarm on this couple.

Then we became obsessed with Yolanthe’s insane mane of wondrous, lustrous hair and were off on a well-publicized, semi-crazed girl crush.

After seeing these pool jumping pics (left), we threw our fantasies of getting to brush Yo’s hair out the door and decided we really just wanted to party with them. They’re totes worth the hangover, no?

We were not impressed with their wedding attire, though we respect Yolanthe’s ‘go big or go home’ approach to the occasion.

And now that we’ve gazed upon their loved-up honeymoon snaps we’ve decided we wuv the Sneijders and hope they have babies soon so we can continue our journey of unacceptable feelings, personal intrusions and projections.

Steven Gerrard’s brood of good looking girls headed out to a local Liverpool cafe for a spot of lunch this afternoon. Do you think Lexie ordered hers with a side of fairy dust? Adorable. Note: Alex still has the Wang.
