"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.

Amber - what is it with the watch?!!! Is Michael Kors a renowned watchmaker?!! I need to know.

I love the picture. "Fashion scarves provide a surprising amount of warmth when dressing for cold weather"
Hmm, wonder if she ever gets to experience cold weather?

"Work it with..."

I'm sorry, you mean knead it like dough? Operate it like a machine? No?

I like MK - I have 3 coats (from TK Maxx) and they are ace. Just wondering about The Watch!

MadBusLady · 13/01/2013 21:08

To be fair, Pretzel, she actually does bung a vest on under everything.

Only she calls it a "nude cami".

Oh and I HATE that knock-kneed pigeon-toe "I'm a little girlie" stance they all do.

MadBusLady · 13/01/2013 21:10

I'm good at this game. Blush

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 13/01/2013 21:15

Ditzy. I quite often see something I like the look of, but one mention of the word ditzy has me running for the hills.

AmberNectarine · 13/01/2013 21:16

dexter I just really like rose gold, and that it's chunky. It's a piece of shit though, has broken twice in a year, but was repaired with no quibbles. Wouldn't buy again.

busyboysmum · 13/01/2013 21:25

LOL Madbuslady, that stance is soooo useful. I can bung on any old outfit then before I go out, just check myself in the mirror in the knockneed pigeon toed stance.... tada said outfit is bang on trend!

Chugchug · 13/01/2013 21:31

MK rose gold watch - check
Blog- check

Trills · 13/01/2013 21:38

What I always wonder is who takes the pictures...

PretzelTime · 13/01/2013 21:39

Which one is the pigeon stance?
One silly pose I see all the time is the one where they cross their legs while standing - is that a real life thing?

It's the general detachedness from what is practical in real life, while being a real life blogging person and not a fashion mag, that really annoys me.

DIddled · 13/01/2013 21:43

'Capsule wardrobe'- wtf!!!!

DIddled · 13/01/2013 21:44

Ah yes monochrome chic- black and white to us normal peeps....

ubik · 13/01/2013 21:48

"Shop the Spring/Summer edit"

"The Runway edit"

ubik · 13/01/2013 21:49

Oh and
"Shop the campaign,"

(That was you French Connection, stop trying to hide at the back there...)

PretzelTime · 13/01/2013 21:50

Whats an edit? A collection?

lurkingaround · 13/01/2013 21:50

Ooh, or when they "channel" a look!! Grr. You mean copy??

Awks · 13/01/2013 21:52

My fave is "homage to" ie blatant rip off

Awks · 13/01/2013 21:54

And ombre. It's fucking tie dye, that's what it is.

Chugchug · 13/01/2013 21:55

trills it's usually their other halves or sisters. I take pictures with my camera timer or on phone in mirror, I could never stand out in public posing like that. Although my favourite blogs do feature that kind of photo weirdly.

PlumSykes · 13/01/2013 21:55

Cliched writing, generally, irritates me. I don't mind fashion speak, per se, so a red lip or a snakeskin shoe doesn't bother me, but 'new year, new you' and 'top of every fashionista's wish-list' both drive me up the wall. And I say that as a blogger and journalist.

Ubik, in those examples, that's exactly what it is, though. An edit, or edited selection of the Spring/Summer runway collections. And 'An edited selection of the Spring/Summer runway collections' would make for a clunky, and very long headline.
