"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.

I used to follow a blog where the tagline was "Fashion For The Skint Yet Stylish". Bless her the writer did stay true to that for a wee amount of time but now she is rocking her buttery soft Mulberry bag with her Hunter wellies and Barbour coat. Everything is via not bought from. She posts pictures of that days outfit and the poses make me snarl. Looking down at her shoes with her toes pointed towards each other then a poker up the arse shot with a smug half smile. The pictures of her 'finds' for her home would be in the pebbles and twiggy shit catergory on here. Think mismatched teacups and battered suitcases.

I've been following that blog Freepeace for ages and have noticed exactly the same thing.....now everything worn is Mulberry, DVF, Cos, Whistles, Hobbs or Jaegar... hardly fashion for the skint yet stylish!! and of course the obligatory rose gold MK watch!!

Its awful Apple but the very odd time I nip over and have a ganders now its even worse. Someone commented on one post and asked her if she was being ironic? Even she admitted that the tagline doesn't reflect the content anymore. However that was November and a quick google tells me she hasn't changed it. :o She won't though. She has a lot of sycophants too.

FGS don't google Regretsy if you have anything that needs doing in the next week or so. Especially the snarkfest comments. Stay away from them.

What is thing about "a red lip" as in this needs a red lip.

What happened to the stick?

I think I know the one you mean too. I used to think the writer was a really nice lass but she seems to have morphed into a head up her own arse type.

Ooh those posey links are fab & reminded me of this thehairpin.com/2011/01/women-laughing-alone-with-salad which I can never look at too often . . .

I have a suggestion for you ladies - why don't you start a collective fashion blog that provides unique content, brilliant copy, unexpected pairings, a cliche free, scarf free, red lipstick free, rose gold free and endorsement free zone - all this on a zero budget.

C'mon, do it, it will be so easy.

'Statement necklace' = just a big chunky chain with bits dangling off it necklace right?

I'm afraid that if I started a fashion blog I would morph into a stereotypical fashion blogger with scarves and poses and weird advice quite quickly - they have a certain "culture" and lingo you no doubt would get sucked into, too.

Oh I was thinking of another one.

Blonde girl, black geek chic glasses. Bright satchels.

I've seen it a few times and it's bugging me I can't remember it.

Seems nice. But is about frugality, was wondering if she had gone high end.

You're thinking of The Frugality Marsha, who I really like. Probably my favourite blog - she is true to her roots and doesn't use a lot d irritating phraseology.

Yes I like her too. Glad it's not her.

I did like the blog at first. I used to swoon over the second hand pre-loved Jaegar stuff and the like that she used to buy source at via the charity shop.
