For me this would be a "I was doing housework at home, but needed to pop out to the shop to get some milk" look !!!

tell me truthfully. Is she chunky?

stillbobbysgirl · 11/12/2010 22:45

I think she looks lovely - those shoes are mental (in a good way).

MrToad · 11/12/2010 22:47

Those shoes are truely vile Shock

RudolphReindeerTuppennyTail · 11/12/2010 22:48

I want those mittens.

Daydreaming · 11/12/2010 22:48

No, I don't think so - but that photo of her in the H&M fake leather trousers is not incredibly flattering - but it's probably because the angle of the photo is not great....

Actually think she looks great apart from the shoes which I hate (hate marmite aswell so she's right)

LTEC - chunky? If she is chunky then I'm obese.

Daydreaming · 11/12/2010 22:50

I am sorry, but I agree that those shoes are really, really ugly... And I do like things that are a bit different, but they just look like ugly slippers !!!!!

Chunky? Good Lord - she is about as chunky as a finger of fudge.

She wears some bloody awful things - can't stand those silly hats and mittens and nasty fake fur coats.

I do like all the grey basic t-shits she has though and skinny black trousers with stripey tops. Love that big bib necklace she wears with plain tees too.

BelligerentGhoul · 11/12/2010 22:50

t-shits? Oh dear!

FaffTastic · 11/12/2010 22:53

At first glance, thought those shoes were slippers like my grandad wears. After scrolling down have now realised they are Louboutins. Still vile. Only now they are ££££ of vileness.

Daydreaming · 11/12/2010 22:54

Some of her stuff is nice, but as others have noted, not incredibly original...
I have black boots similar to hers, the same grey zara leggings, lots of stripy tops, etc.

I wish I looked like that when popping out to the shops.....................Loving the red coat and lippy and also loving the shoos........

LetThemEatCake · 11/12/2010 22:56

Interesting.

BelligerentGhoul · 11/12/2010 22:59

Yes, the shoes are vile.

AliBellandthe40jingles · 11/12/2010 23:04

LTEC - she looks almost anorexic to me, her face and her fingers are sooo thin and bony! Looks horrid.

And as for the clothes - bleugh.

animula · 11/12/2010 23:04

I like her look. she has a really nice playful attitude to clothes, which I wish I still had.

LetThemEatCake · 11/12/2010 23:08

she's hit and miss with her clothes like everyone I think.

LOL t-shits

FaffTastic · 11/12/2010 23:17

DayDreaming - thanks for introducing me to this blog! Will be checking into it now every few days...

OooohWhatIfItHurts · 11/12/2010 23:21

I think she's quite well-endowed of nork - you can see this on some of her summer outfits - and this can give the impression of chunkiness unfairly.

Not a chunky girl.

Bizarrely for a stylist she seems not to know how to deal with her boobs and wears quite a few baggy tops which then make her look big generally. Not sure how good her bras are either .

But, no, I think she has a lovely figure. Would love my body to look like that.

BelligerentGhoul · 11/12/2010 23:21

Does anybody know any other good fashion blogs? The others I peep at occasionally are really too young and too quirky for me to seriously use any of their ideas - all vintage dresses and heeled brogues which, whilst lovely, may well be a bit too Miss Marple on somebody who is older and fatter than I used to be!

sansucre · 11/12/2010 23:29

When she gets it wrong, it's hideously so.

As Belligerent Ghoul has already said, the fake fur mittens and hats were particularly bad, as is that horrible black fur sleeveless thing she insists on wearing a lot. Actually it was kind of comforting to see that like so many of us, she too can get it wrong!

When she sticks to the classics, she looks lovely but lately, it's all been a bit too try hard and all over the place. I thought her ode to the 70s with the MiH flares and Lanvin for H&M was a low-point, and her recent sample sale Louboutin purchases were revolting, but, each to their own, she's obviously very happy with her choices!

I love her polka dot Joseph dress but I have it too :o
(We have a few items of clothing in common and I'm also a huge fan of belting my parka!)

Btw, I've seen her round Primrose Hill and she's skinny. Not stick insecty but normal.

sansucre · 11/12/2010 23:31

Oooh, whoever bought up the bosom thing, I agree, although I think mostly she just needs to go get fitted for a bra that actually fits her properly!

HollyBollyBooBoo · 12/12/2010 00:59

Her boobs are so odd, they are right in the middle of her torso in some shots, surely boobs are normally more two thirds up from your waist?

FaffTastic · 12/12/2010 01:10

Jesus, never noticed her boobs - must go and have another look now

southeastastra · 12/12/2010 01:12

very nice coat, hood spoils the neckline only though
