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.

Ha do it, do it.

Women laughing alone with salad. Best link of all time.

ah yes - an oldie but a goodie

Rebranding any old Oxfam shop shite as 'retro' or 'vintage'.

Rebranding the same colour for different seasons - 'camel', 'caramel', 'sand' - its all the same shitty brown!

Oh, and 'fashion forward' being an excuse to dress like a tit and then make out youre clever because nobody else has discovered that fashion yet (ie. is prepared to look a tit).

And a top hatred is when very occasionally I spot something realky nice in a fashion shoot pic and then look it up in the small print and it says 'Model's own'. Raaaaaah!

I see it as a bit of light relief though and quite enjoy that fashion is daft. I read the economist and the papers for serious

Yeah but poking fun at fashion blogs is fun and not serious.

Forgot my all important grin. :o

'Plethora'

Aww thanks Morris

Evening all
I am enjoying your work on oxblood (guilty of wearing oxblood loafers, no less, back in the day) but erm, please play nicely, eh?
No PERSONAL attacks...ne cricket pas, ca va?
using unnecessary French probably a Crime of Fashionista Affectation

Thanks

Oui Olivia!

Another headscratcher is "leopard is a neutral". Since pattern mixing is so popular now, I guess everything is a neutral!

I think Caitlin Moran coined 'leopard is a neutral'.

I judge mostly by what blogs link too and those who have a similar style to me.

But many blogs are by amateurs so its not surprising the writing isn't of professional journalistic standards. [looks at own writing]

Anyone for a Hero Jacket?

Where's the attack ?

(Apart from amber )

I love fashion blogs and appreciate it must be hard to come up with new content all the time but they drive me a bit mad sometimes. I find sites like "Get off my internets" to be a good antidote.

LEOPARD IS A NEUTRAL!?!?!
what the jeff?

I obviously read too many fashion blogs because that statement makes sense to me. Help!

Olivia, keep up, please!

Could you please explain to us unenlightened Frances

I iz a bitch, innit?

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

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

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