I really enjoy reading DMBL40 but.....

[Nothanks18]

What does her husband do to subsidise her fashion and home improvement/interior design spending!?

I think she did executive recruitment before. Or something like that.

Bit of a creepy thread. Sure it's not intended by the OP but that's how it comes across. However it has made have a look at her recent blog posts and found a gorgeous Ghost navy silk dress!

i enjoy reading all the style blogs, i even blog myself (crafts not fashion), but do think on the whole some are way to liberal with what they share. look at all my expensive clothes, home, general stuff we have, followed by post about top tips while packing for our hols can easily be taken as 'look at what we've got to pinch and here's when our house will be empty if you want to burgle it while we're away'. you never know who's reading and what they are going to do with the information you post.

I was reading a blog the other day that showed the blogger at their front door, complete with number on display and then a shot of the school their children attend, with the name of it clearly visible. I thought then that that was probably a bit too much information to be showing online.

Is it not all rather excruciatingly 'little me'?

I feel like that generally about style blogs, they're fine if you're a ditzy teen or self-absorbed student, but spending your life in shops taking selfies when you're 40+ seems a bit undignified.

I sort of agree twinklestein but then I wonder if I'm just wayyyy behind the curve on this now that blogging and digital marketing are legitimate Things now.

Too many "nows" but you know what I mean...

I must be nosey to, as I'd love to see her house. (in pics on the blog obviously not by stalking ) I think both dmbl40, sgs and poppy are very fortunate enough to have had pretty good careers pre children and then able to stay at home due to savings or just because their dh's earn a lot of money. Although I believe poppy works from what she says on her blog.

I read poppys blog and am slightly envious of her lifestyle, her ability to shop and her holidays. Its like magazine reading, I like glimpsing others lifestyles and daydreaming about what id buy if I had the same budgets.

dunno I thought she had a career and a career blog and a decent family income

i like her blog btw but she looks/dresses almost exactly like two of my friends
so much so that I was convinced for a while that they simply bought all that she blogged or she stealth photographed them and then blogged

she's great

Amber, love 'Utterly Profligate', think there's a name for a new blog for sure

She seems like the type of woman who would be good to have boozy lunches with. I like her for that alone.

I like her blog but would love to see more about her house!!

I don't SGS works, but she had the online shop now.

Amber

Oh there's loads of stuff I want, but I do try to be rather on the austere side of sensible. :)

I imagine she worked very hard, did well in her career, married a man who did the same. Who says she is being subsidised?!

SuperScribbler - I saw the blog post you mentioned with the picture of her house in it and wondered how easy it would be to find it. A quick google of the electoral roll and I am looking at her house on street view, so you are right about giving away too much information. It makes me realise how careful you have to be when posting stuff.

I did have something of a wry chuckle when DMB wrote about having absolutely "nothing" to wear on her unplanned second week's holiday. If she could get her hands on personalised bunting for a party, then I'm sure she could find something to wear or, even perhaps, here's a revolutionary idea; use the washing machine?!

Felt it was a bit grabby and poor form when she was practically asking on social media - and playing all the woe is me hand: here I am in a very expensive holiday cottage without three changes of clothes every day or a jumper to my sad name whatever shall I do, Twittersphere?! - and got free clothes. She called it a care package, of all things. snorts . The poor, wee dear. However did she manage before she got comped an almost £100 cardi?!

I guess that is how the rich get richer.

Bit of a rant there, but I can just see many of the British blogs going down the American route where most of the bigger bloggers are walking, talking ads for large brands. It kills any original ideas and individual thought and makes blogs corporate rather than blogger/reader led and IMO, a massive massive turn-off.
