The United Kingdom is great for at least one thing and that is providing us with an amusingly low-stakes seasonal kerfuffle. This time, it involves an expensive advent calendar sold under the brand of a wildly successful YouTuber.
Welcome to Fashion Scavenger Hunt, a long-running Jezebel column in which we all work together to find the elusive product of your dreams. Need help with a style or specific item, or just looking for advice on dupes? Email me at julianne@jezebel.com and I, too, will put my nimble googling fingers to work.
If you tried to hop on the fashion bandwagon and order a pair of L.L. Bean “duck” boots last winter, you probably found yourself on a waiting list so long you just said fuck it, there’s always next year, because you’re not actually tromping around the bogs of Maine.
For brand-new single "Glass & Patron," House Mother-in-training FKA twigs brings some real-deal voguing into her zone, perhaps the first instance of real-deal voguing in a mainstream video since Madonna's "Vogue." (The occasional suicide dip in the odd Lady Gaga or Christina Milian video doesn't quite grapple up to…
On Monday, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, his teeth, and his wife Cherie released a Christmas card that would make all of the characters from Love Actually cry. Looking at it for too long is hypnotic in a kind of terrifying way. And it didn't take the internet long to jump on the Tony Blair Christmas Card…
Alright, people don't get me wrong here. I'm all about that #TeamGoat (or #TeamSeal), but an adorable kitty video is an adorable kitty video, and I must respect that. Kitties! What are ya doing in that boot!? Who put you there? Were they aiming for an awful "Puss in Boots" pun? Because they succeeded.
Here in the Northeast, we've been dealing with a little snow, a lot of slush and freezing temperatures. Elsewhere in this great nation, it's even worse. Bundling up is obvious: Sweaters, scarves, hats, gloves, coats. But what about your feet? WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT YOUR POOR COLD FEET?
Dogs hate having things on their feet, be those things socks, boots, shoes or, as was most likely the case with Jacques Cousteau's dog, flippers. Unfortunately for dogs, their unwilling shoe-wearing adventures are funny, and some dog owners can't help but shod and subsequently exploit their unlucky companions. At…
Starting tomorrow, students at Pottstown Middle School in Pennsylvania won't be allowed to come to school wearing their Uggs (or any fuzzy, open-top boots, for that matter). No, the boots have not been banned because they cause sluttiness, and it's not by order of the fashion police either. The school has forbidden…
When rain, sleet, freezing rain, snow, snow and more snow are in the forecast, the question you most often ask yourself is, "What shoes are best in this mess?" Rarely will you win this game.
The back cover of the March Free People catalog featured The Ugliest Shoes Ever Conceived. Viewing those shoes was such a traumatizing experience, we delayed actually looking inside the pages, should worse monstrosities lurk there. Guess what? They do!
Ugly shoes are everywhere. We're having an ugly shoe moment. In an interview about ANTM, Vogue Editor-At-Large Andre Leon Talley sighed:

After aggressively pushing product all fall and right up to the holiday frenzy in December, J. Crew has the audacity to show up in the mailbox with a happy, light, carefree January catalog. Worse: There's barely anything good.
As mentioned in Dirt Bag, the Lohan family is shilling shit on a site called LohanHouse.com. Slogan: "Real People Live Here." Real, misguided people!

Behold: A boot named Obama. Manufactured by shoemaker Coclico, this piece of footwear is made from "gorgeous rich mottled gray leather." Mottled, hmm. Is that like biracial? Black and white do make gray. The boot also has a "high shaft." *Cough.* And "decorative tonal stitching curves along the height of the shaft." …
"Wearing your pants nonchalantly tucked into your boots requires not only fastidious attention to detail, but also the right boots and pants." [New York Times]
