Fashion Do's and Dont's-Fergie, perhaps better known for her fashion traumas than her vocal prowess, sports a hair style that makes us wish we were blind-Fashiontribes Fashion Blog

Fashion Do's and Don'ts-A fashion expert would never be caught dead with jeans ripped right on her butt cheeks-Fashiontribes.com blog

This is what happens in your head as you walk behind this girl: "Eww, gross. Eww, gross. Eww, Gross." Repeat. Why? Because each step causes the little mouth-shaped hole DIRECTLY BELOW HER BUTT CHEEKS to open. Let's just pretend she...

Fashiontribes Don't-When summer means ugly prints, too-short shorts and hideous acid-bright colours, we beg you stay inside-fashiontribes felony-fashiontribes.com blog

Celebrity Fashion Don't: Charlotte Church committs a fashiontribes felony by donning gear that makes her look like a bloated, dead seal-fashiontribes.com blog

Thanks to JustJared for opening my eyes to this whale of a disaster. Speaking of whale's, Charlotte Church kind of reminds me of a sea creature here. Perhaps a beached seal or walrus? Gowns made of bias-cut sequin fabric should...

Fashiontribes Don'ts- This woman looks like a giant, gross black and white cookie. Get your barf bag ready-Fashiontribes.com blog

This is so disgusting, it's hard for me to look at the picture long enough to write about it without stabbing my eyeballs out with forks. I mean, the real travesty here is that this item was not only purchased,...

Fashion Don'ts- Dowdy heels and hideous denim shorts do not a fashion expert make-fashiontribes.com blog

I can't fathom how one would arrive upon this combination as an outfit. Clearly, there were brain synapses that just did not occur. The shirt is very late nineties- that fitted, "girly" t-shirt with cheesy writing on it. Replace it...

Fashion Do's & Dont's - NYC - Never Let Anyone Tell You a Summery Print Skirt Should be Paired with Frye Boots Under Any Circumstances - A Streetfashion Atrocity Busted by a Fashion Expert in New York's Soho - FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG

Frye boots are a tricky proposition. Even with pants, they can come off as totally dorky, or even worse, bad 80s. And never - really, under any circumstances - should they be paired with a floaty summer skirt. Did she...

Fashiontribes Don'ts- A man in hot pink leggings? Are you joking? Fashiontribes Felony committed here!-Fashiontribes.com blog

I don't even really think this necessitates a critique. I mean, what the hell is this? We can start with the girl, because that is a relatively minor infraction- as you know, there are very few incidents where cowboy boots...

Fashion Don'ts- Fashiontribes Felony committed by this girl wearing pink camo pants-a fashion expert blinds herself-Fashiontribes.com blog

Whatever it is going on here, I want no part of it. I think this girl was confused when all the fall magazines instructed their fashion-savvy readers to mix prints and textures, because if this was a typical result of...

Fashion Don'ts-Dress for your weight please, and while your at it, even if you are pin thin this combo is terrible-Fashiontribes Felony-Fashiontribes.com blog

I am pretty sure it goes without saying that these outfits are horrendous. Particularly the pink and blue combo. With no redeeming quality in either, I regret to inform you, when they turned around, we realized that these women were...

Fashiontribes Don't-Ashlee Simpson commits a fashiontribes felony-this dress makes her look like a large, blue couch, not a fashion expert-Fashiontribes.com blog

I know cute would never be a word to describe her, but did she always look this shapeless? Her choice in dress shape and colour makes her look not only plain jane, but also not as svelte as she actually...

Fashion Do's & Don'ts - NYC - A Nasty Looking Shapeless Print Top Paired with - of all things - a Fannypack! An Unspeakable Fashiontribes Felony & Enormous Fashion Don't in Soho - Fashion Expert Streetfashion Report. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG

Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. is usually cute- so what the hell is this piece of garbage?-Fashintribes.com blog

So, uh, what the fuck is this? Just to clarify, the white thing is SEPARATE from the hideous, above-the-boob ending striped, Bert and Ernie styled piece of garbage "shirt" that is pictured. That's right. A CROPPED TURTLENECK. I am sorry,...

Fashion Don'ts- We were going to ignore this Fashiontribes Felony on Rachel McAdams, but then a "fashion expert" at Life & Style had to suggest people imitate it-Fashiontribes.com blog

So, I like Rachel McAdams, She seems sweet and wholesome, she has an awesome name, and for the most part she falls into the neutral part of fashion. Never an icon, not too many blunders. We were giving her a...

Fashion Don'ts-Wearing a cropped sweater top over hippy garb makes you the opposite of a fashion expert-Fashiontribes Felony-Fashiontribes.com

I hate what's-the-fucking-point sweaters. If your sporting a sweater that's 4 inches long, i can practically guarantee it's doing very little for your body temperature. The fact that it cuts off right above your stomach doesn't really make you look...

Fashiontribes Don'ts- Wearing gym clothes on the street is not only a fashiontribes felony, but it is not the mark of a fashion expert-Fashiontribes.com blog

Perhaps one of my biggest pet peeves is when people wander around the city in gym clothes. In my head, I can't help but wonder is it that hard to get dressed normally? I mean, is it so hard to...

Fashiontribes Don'ts-Jessica Simpson makes a fashiontribes felony with her hideous-hooker inspired VMA gear-Clearly, a fashion expert she is not-Fashiontribes.com blog

So, uh, not much to really poke fun at here, because it's so obvious even the "fashion reviewers" at Star picked it out as the worst of the week. I'll give it a half-hearted attempt though: In this terrible choice...

Britney Spears is a gross fat cow- How did the cute girl we once knew tranform into a monster-Star Weekly points out her flaws-Fashiontribes.com

I know celebrity life takes it's toll or whatever, but I ate lunch right before I opened up Star Weekly, and I have been to the bathroom 3 times since I saw this picture. Aren't you supposed to be at...

Fashion Don'ts-Short shorts and big boots is a fashion attrocity no fashion expert can bear to see-Fashiontribes.com blog

This girl is the most crushing form of don't-the almost right don't. With her cute, short denim shorts and great vintage button-up, she could be dashingly chic. Her purple Balenciaga? terrific. So what possessed her to stick on clunky Frye...

Anna Wintour's Children are following closely in her footsteps- Although, with a fashion expert mother, I would have picked a different dress-Fashiontribes.com blog

It seems Anna Wintour's puppies, of sorry, children, have the best of fashion life up on offer for them. Here they are at the launch of Men's Vogue in conjunction with Polo. Her daughter, Bee, is always pictures with her...
