SHITE people say on fashion blogs

[MaureenShit]

"The kind people at...."
(Ie boden gave me a free bag to pimp a hotchpotch shirt"

"Pop of _fucking colour". No one says this in real life. Fück off.

"This looks cute" no. Kittens are cute. You are a woman who wears scarves. Desist.

'manshape'


words fail me

[lalalonglegs]

that you blagged shoes. When the mag folded, I turned up the next day with a large holdall convinced that we could just help ourselves to the fashion cupboard. Sadly the only people kept on beyond the end of the week were the two cupboard girls who had three weeks to return all the goodies .

I use all this shite carefully constructed copywriting when I flog stuff on ebay though
The buyers eat it up.

Classic, timeless, ultimate
(if it was that good I wouldn't be flogging on ebay!)


Lalalonglegs I worked in mags and my dealings with the fashion dept was cuddling the interns who hadn't left the cupboard in weeks and begging shoes off them

Guru Gossiper has a section on abhorred bloggers that you'd probably enjoy, full of this kinda stuff although some is a bit subjective.

[lalalonglegs]

I worked very briefly on a fashion magazine where part of my job (seemed to) involved inserting the phrases "band-on trend" "fashion forward" and "it's all about the INSERT ACCESSORY/ITEM OF CLOTHING/PARTICULAR DETAIL OF ONE ITEM OF CLOTHING EG TURNED-UP CUFF" in every picture caption. Happy times .

"Closet orphan" - the overly dramatic phrase for a piece of clothing you simply don't wear very often.

I just wanted to include monochrome.. Sorry, suffering fashion blog shite hysteria now

[PlumSykes]

So is black. Or white.

[bettybleep]

Zebra is monochrome surely?

[noddyholder]

You are missing a treat

[PlumSykes]

I have never seen QVC.

[PlumSykes]

Pretzel, it's because you can wear it with any other colour without it clashing (same reason black, white, camel are all considered neutral). Snakeskin works in the same way. Tiger and zebra would be the same, though we rarely see them used in fashion.

[bettybleep]

I know..always good for a laugh if youre bored though...but who's buying all that overpriced weird poly tat? The presenters deserve an Oscar sometimes, but I was lucky enough to catch one who 'corpsed' completely at the first glimpse of the model, who preened and smiled brightly until her colleague had recovered.. What a pro!

[PretzelTime]

'ping of colour' - Haha, that's even better!

[noddyholder]

They always say 'pop of colour' on QVC and the clothes are dire!

[bettybleep]

The stylist on This Morning, who always says 'pop', just said, 'ping of colour'..
You bullies! :-)

[tethersend]

Oh no, leopard is a neutral. I'm with Frances on the clashy bench.

[AmberNectarine]

I iz a bitch, innit?

[PretzelTime]

Could you please explain to us unenlightened Frances
