what is WIT Confused

TakeMeUpTheNorthMountain · 18/08/2014 15:43

Oh dear god. I took one look at one of the blogs mentioned.

My god.

Why????

MrsCampbellBlack · 18/08/2014 17:05

Wit - is wearingittoday.

I love Eve and don't mind Poppy either.

Its the ones who don't disclose who bug me and also who present this ridiculously over idealized life.

manofsponge · 18/08/2014 17:10

WIT is Vair annoying

WIT drives me bonkers. Poppy has nice legs but doesn't do herself many favours a lot of the time. AllWornOut used to be good.

Has Amber given up blogging?

divingoffthebalcony · 18/08/2014 17:27

I've just looked up the post about the Anya Hindmarch bag. Hmm, not really sure a pale coloured canvas bag is much of an heirloom piece. It's hardly going to survive years of use without getting grubby and scuffed.

Just admit you want an expensive bag for yourself. Don't dress it up as a future gift for your daughter Grin

fabulousfour · 18/08/2014 17:29

Oh it all makes sense, shes a Brit in America.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/08/2014 17:30

I also just looked up the bag post - it's hideous.

AmberNectarine · 18/08/2014 17:37

dexter I've not, just had a few personal ishoos. I'm taking a year out from my career starting in a couple of weeks so you can expect the resuscitation of my blog, though rest assured I won't be selling my soul to M&S, who, I'm sure, will be climbing over WIT to get to me, so aspirational is my lifestyle.

dexter73 · 18/08/2014 17:43

Glad to hear you haven't stopped Amber, your blog was very good.

MrsCampbellBlack · 18/08/2014 17:49

Just thank the lord Amber that you won't have to pretend to love the polyester like WIT

dexter73 · 18/08/2014 17:50

Her M&S posts were really odd, like people wouldn't know she had been given the clothes/bag to blog about. We weren't all born yesterday!

MrsCampbellBlack · 18/08/2014 17:52

I know - honestly she must take us for a load of fools.

She should also learn to link properly if she wants to make money out of her blog. Although perhaps that's what she's getting an intern to do.

dexter73 · 18/08/2014 17:59

I was wondering if her new venture is going to be selling things from her hols online. She has put up lots pictures of rings, bags etc. recently, and she already has her Argos necklaces she sells.

MarshaBrady · 18/08/2014 18:01

Amber your blog is great. Glad you're restarting.

MrsCampbellBlack · 18/08/2014 18:03

Good point Dexter, some lovely raffia baskets and kaftans to go alongside the rings with weird dangly bits.

Capitola · 18/08/2014 18:09

Poppy's blog keeps me entertained. She wears whatever the heck she likes, so whilst I am sometimes going nooooooo!, I admire her élan.

This one is also good for a laugh inspiration.

MarshaBrady · 18/08/2014 18:12

Poppy was great on the last thread about this. I like her

MrsCampbellBlack · 18/08/2014 18:13

Poppy was very gracious indeed. I also love that she's honest about her fluctuating weight.

manofsponge · 18/08/2014 18:18

oh ffs
exercising with her sunglasses on?

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/08/2014 18:22

Surely they should have to say if a post is sponsored or if an outfit has been provided for free?

AmberNectarine · 18/08/2014 18:29

I have just ordered those ponte backed leather leggings from M&S though, so if they are great and I come on saying that, don't think I'm taking backhanders ;)

I like Joanna too, I love her style, I would wear a lot of her wardrobe. She also seems like she'd be fun to go on the lash with.

I used to love WIT but the lack of disclosure annoys me intensely. It implies the reader is a moron who won't work it out.

I like AWO too, my only wish is that more of them would post regularly, but I can hardly preach on that score. Eve also has great style which is quite aligned with my own.

Susie is wonderful, such a lovely lady and I love how stringent she is about what makes the cut. I could do with a bit more of that influence!!

ZaraW · 18/08/2014 18:32

I had a look at WIT for the first time it's so fake and to use your child as a justification to buy an extremely over priced bag really?! It is ugly as well.

I like Poppy she is down to earth and not at all pretentious.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/08/2014 18:38

Who is Joanna?
