Because Grin will look, hang on

MarshaBrady · 19/08/2014 09:45

I like WIT, but I'm not interested in how her mates pack voila

MarshaBrady · 19/08/2014 10:02

Actually it's just some women packing, not sure why it bugged me now

manofsponge · 19/08/2014 10:04

I assume doesmybum just does it for fun really and doesn't exactly make a living out of it.

Not sure if her personal shopping business has taken off though?

libertychick · 19/08/2014 10:38

Marsha I had missed that 'WIT's mates travel tips' - so irritating! One of them says she takes 3 children long haul while wearing an Isabel Marrant jumpsuit - seriously????? And the DC's have colour co-ordinated outfits and are not allowed wear tracksuits....

I had better get back to work before the steam coming out of my ears fogs up the screen...

MrsCampbellBlack · 19/08/2014 10:39

I quite like those 'packing' ones, I mean obviously they're total rubbish and we all know that the nanny does the packing but they are funny.

BecauseIsaidS0 · 19/08/2014 11:10

shudders with relief at the instant surge of irritation

As a "seasoned traveller for work", I consistently achieve looking like shit: sleep deprived, stressed and generally upset at the thought of 8+ hours stuck in a metal tube with a bunch of strangers.

I guess that's why I don't have a fashion blog Grin

Kablooger · 19/08/2014 11:12

do you ever see bloggers and their themed children though?

WHY DOES NO ONE EVER REPORT SEEING STRANGE WIMMIN STANDING WITH THEIR FEET CROSSED WEARING SCARVES?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 19/08/2014 11:18

peasandlove the londoner is the worst one going. The reason it doesn't seem to be based around freebies is that she doesn't disclose ANYTHING - pretty much all her meals out are free and any brands she mentions in her posts are too. Also until recently all her designer bags were fakes (chanel boy, celine luggage, various pradas). Sorry!
she also lies about her fake boobs

Source (but the Londoner thread is in a forum you need an account to access)

WIT put on her blog the other day that she's going to do a reveal of a project with J crew. You don't say!

Agree on the quality of her writing/spelling/grammar too. You work in journalism? Really?

KatoPotato · 19/08/2014 11:31

Who takes the photos for Poppy? I can just imagine DH's face if I asked him to pop out onto the roadside to take some photos of my in my OOTD!

KatoPotato · 19/08/2014 11:32

me* bah.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 19/08/2014 11:32

And I see mswibble already mentioned GOMI :)

guaranteedpersonality · 19/08/2014 11:41

I cannot bear the Londoner either BlairWaldorfLovesShopping - she was my ultimate hate read but now I would rather not give her page clicks. All the restyle click through baits were the end of it for me - I would be so unhappy if anything I bought gave her a cent.

I think her writing style is so affected.

gerbiltamer · 19/08/2014 11:43

Fifi's 'bored fat dog' is both spot on and hilarious. She's wearing Birkenstock Arizonas, surely they're comfy enough to take the paunchy pooch for a stroll in (assuming that he won't jump up and spoil her white jeans?)

WilburIsSomePig · 19/08/2014 11:57

I used to adore 'a little bird told me' a couple of years ago when she was fresh and had quirky new ideas but I'm afraid I find that blog a little pretentious these days. Nothing inspiring any more and a 28 year old woman standing like a three year old just gets on my tits.

Gillybobs · 19/08/2014 12:29

I saw Fifi walk her dog on Saturday evening, white jeans, black leather jacket, messy bun....twenty minutes later she jumped into a cab with FABULOUS hair, heeled over the knee boots and a frock on. Sigh.

AmberNectarine · 19/08/2014 12:48

She really doesn't suit long blonder hair does she Wilbur - I liked her with a pixie crop.

Kablooger · 19/08/2014 12:51

If you google the Londoner and put in Londoner fake.... you get all SORTs of results

WilburIsSomePig · 19/08/2014 13:04

I agree Amber i loved the pixie crop it really made her stand out. The long blonde hair looks just like every other wannabe fashionista!

santamarianovella · 19/08/2014 14:08

I'm not bothered by WiT either, s

sansucre · 19/08/2014 14:40

On a side note, as I was walking through M&S at Oxford Circus on my way to work this morning, I spotted the polka dot dress WIT featured last week marked down to £15 on the sale rail!
