If any of you had bothered to check out newcomer’s own blog, you would have learned that he/she is a highly articulate and intelligent individual with many and varied opinions on all manner of things; not just clothes.
I do enjoy looking at this blog, but to be honest it does make me feel a bit inadequate that I don’t have a doting boyfiend or a vast wardrobe of clothes and designer watches, and struggle to pay the rent. But I try not to be too bitter. I’m genuinely not trying to be nasty, so I would appreciate it if no-one accused me of that. I make my clothes myself, style photography students’ shoots for free and treasure my one much coveted and saved-up-for Anya Hindmarch bag. I would love to start a recessionista-stylista blog but frankly I don’t have the time or the technical know-how.
Anyone?? A good idea I think!!

ahh, newcomer must be a fashion icon…….not!!! yes, it is ok to dislike something someone wears but is there any need to go out of your way to be rude?? i have had people all my adult life taking the mic, or saying hurtful comments and even people trying to touch me ( i have tats and stretched ears) oh, yes, people do do this!!!! (touch me that is) but at the end of the day if everyone looked the same, wot a boring world it would be!! i just wish people could just accept each others individuality!! any way after that rant id like to say you look fab today and id love that god dam necklace!!!! xx

I just wasted my time reading “the newcomer’s” comments. How sad it is to come on and sprout unappreciated and unnecessary comments about a very sweet and lovely blog, that so many people genuinely enjoy and have taken inspiration from. I wonder what it is about like-minded people that offends you so deeply? Regardless, glad to see that will be your last comment.

And really, with the few comments you made about fashion, what a shock it is that style blogs aren’t your thing…

@Newcomer Please feel free to say what you want – there’s no censorship here. But it does take a special sort of misanthrope to come to a blog and pass negative comment not on someone else’s style but on them as a person.

I shouldn’t rise to the bait, but it’s a dull Sunday morning, so what the heck:

To Bunny whitehead: how absolutely marvellous to have such penetrating psychological insight as to be able to deduce all that about my style and personality from an offhand comment about not liking a particular necklace on a thirty-something woman. Your friends must find you so entertaining- rather like a free palm-reader.

You all sound like a group of religious fanatics who’ve had their favourite prophet insulted- tolerating dissent admirably. I mean- do your dads own the company which manufactured that atrocious necklace? or what? I must say the actual owner of the necklace and the photographer don’t seem half as insulted as you guys. Presumably because if they are willing to take photos of themselves and put it up on a public blog, they are prepared (and indeed eager) to take some not-wholly-favourable comments about the photos in question.
33 comments all saying “You look fab!’ must lose its appeal after a while…

I don’t think Katie looks 6, she looks fab, I literally want her wardrobe! I remember the crap my parents clothed me in when I was young. I blooming love what Katie wore today, it’s feminine and stylish. This site is great because people’s opinions are varied, not sure about the swearing though but heyho each to their own. Cannae wait to see what Katie wears because it brightens up my sometimes dull student days. It gives me plenty of ideas (and has made me discover new and wonderful jewellery and designers etc) it is all fab!
