I think you mean Thankfifi AtlanticDrift? The girl with the fat dog (as someone on another long ago thread said, made me howl). She has about a million pieces in her wardrobe. Then o'course all bloggers do. It's like you know someone is spending a fortune on a house when they source furniture (like shite old bedside lockers), the rest of us just 'buy'.

Jeez people ! They are just ordinary looking - I'm so stunned that you are taking inspiration from them. Wow. I've never looked at a fashion blog before , thought I'd enter the spirit of it.
They don't look better than you. I promise.

I think Atlanticdrift may mean Kingdom of Style

Runkittyrun · 18/08/2014 23:50

& I wasn't suggesting sniggering at them! I like them.

never heard of her.

i hate blogs.

Turquoiseblue · 19/08/2014 02:44

I liked Fifi when she started out, she has a good sense of her own style and has studied art fashion or something in that realm, she photos are interesting but since she started getting noticed she s been flogging more stuff and seems less authentic too.
BUM40 is like a Jodie picoult book- fun to read the first few times but a little formularic (in fashion and prose - skinnies and sweaters/ blazers anyone .... But hey it works for her.
I like cookies

Clicked on a few links. I am not sure any are particularly stylish TBH. Particularly Fifi who unless I missed something is wearing a very ordinary if I daresay, not so pleasant oversized blue sweater with tight white jeans that don't fit well. [Hmm]

manofsponge · 19/08/2014 06:43

The thought of going on holiday to dress up makes me feel ill

If you're in the mood for a total bitchfest have a nosey at the 'get off my internets' forums for bloggers. Mainly American bloggers/vloggers but with a few Brits.
Ooh they're mean!

Emo76 · 19/08/2014 08:16

The ones which I think are odd, are the ones featuring completely impractical clothes AND children (ie you couldn't wear it looking after a toddler and not trash it or have sore feet - WIT just wait until GZ spills juice all over that Anya bag!) and the ones where people who don't actually work suggest things to wear to work.

I guess when you put yourself out there on a blog, with photos, you have to expect some flack, because tastes differ.

MrsCampbellBlack · 19/08/2014 08:45

To be fair to WIT she has mentioned she tends to take her heels off post photo. And now has her uber practical £600 flats Wink

I think its fair enough to suggest clothes for different situations - I often see stuff that I like but just don't have the life to wear it.

Doesmybum - has just become long lists though - I rarely look at it anymore.

I like buynowbloglater for beauty stuff.

Thank FiFi appears to be carrying her dog's basket blanket rolled up under her arm.

MrsCampbellBlack · 19/08/2014 08:55

What I bought today just seems to be lots of random sponsored posts.

MarshaBrady · 19/08/2014 08:57

WiT's perfect looking life doesn't bother me. Or spending loads. Maybe because she's Italian and seems quite sweet, so gets some leeway.

However the guest post long haul flyers were irritating as anything.

BecauseIsaidS0 · 19/08/2014 09:10

Ooh Marsha now I need a link to that post! I'm not irritated enough this morning yet Grin
