S&B 101 what fugliness would you put in? (lighthearted!)

I'd have to ban Crocs, unless they're on small children.

Impulse body spray..stinks

Anyone else?

I love bright red lipstick. Those pics are fab.

These are my real lips. I'm old so they've shrunk and lost a lot of colour - but they're still not beige! Sure, beige lipstick can look great but natural it is not!

Sorry Gwen I think that second red lip you linked to is lovely and would wear that shade myself, whereas the nude one offends my eyes - I think of that look as Kardashian beige. But if it floats your boat...

Tinted balm or the aforementioned MLBB lipstick look nice and natural, though, and not just like you have put foundation on your lips, which is what beige lipstick looks like to me.

way prefer the RED that gwen linked to

You're all saying you like the red lipstick. Look at her face though. She looks ill with the contrast between bright red lipstick and a pale face.

no it looks modern and cool

Red lipstick is modern and cool on younger women. On older women it just ages them.

There should be questions raised in parliament about nude lipsticks. So universally unflattering.

I love red lipstick and if I had wonderfully plumptious lips I'd wear it all the time! Don't agree that it necessarily ages older women either. Worn with heavy eye makeup and stripey blusher perhaps, but I work with a woman in her early 60s who has silver hair and red lips. She looks fantastico!

i disagree to a point.
with hard eyeliner yes.
With a really good foundation and the correct colour it looks great

but tbh - who gives a fuck

Indeed!

I'm buggered if I'm going to go for tasteful neutral just because I'm 52.

What the fucking fuck? My mum wore red lipstick in her 90s and it looked great.

She doesn't look ill at all. Looks gorgeous, but maybe a little bit too thin. It's nothing to do with the lipstick.

I dont think anyone's mentioned winter coats with 3/4 length sleeves yet. I dont understand the point of them. If it's cold enough for a wool coat, it's cold enough to not have your arms out. I blame Kate Middleton.

Or even worse, those currently fashionable formal type jackets/coats with no sleeves - they defy comprehension (remains resolutely light hearted).

For men:- that hipster beard and slicked back quiff look like David Beckham especially on older blokes, waistcoats, hipster hats, falling down jeans, sleeve tattoos.

On women- sensible shoes like Hotter, Clarks, fleeces with Wolves on, middle aged Bob hairdos, those middle classy smock tops and dresses from Fatface, Boden, White Stuff etc. Anything Cath Kidston, badly dyed plum or jet black hair, middle class blonde highlights- they make everyone look the same, Fitflops. Not bothered about too tight clothes, body con dresses, Uggs, fake tan, leopard print etc. I like the 50s style but think it's a bit overdone now and can't stand that 40's 50's hairstyle with the pin curls!

Perfect example of an extremely stylish elderly lady with red lipstick. Iris Apfel probably breaks every one of the Style 101 rules, but she is someone who truly does has Style.

A more current red-lipped elderly lady - isn't she fab!

Oops, realised I mistyped above - I wrote "more-current" because I forgot a post in-between with a picture of Dian Vreeland, another red-lipped loving older lady of style.

Nail 'art'

NotDead do you mean DIY nail art or all nail art?
