    Blogs are a really interesting sign of the times. This one (and it's her hobby as she works full time too) does a killing and is reference everywhere. http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/ and she called herself Susie Bubble
    She is selective on her ads.

    The bit I love are the pics she takes of herself on her balcony in Holloway to show stuff. She gets sent tons of freebie clothes in the hope they are featured too.

    Parts of this thread could start one off...plus you could take pics of herself on your balcony in economy outfits or the Boss interview suit?

    I can see why they give her the clothes ... surely nobody would PAY for those!

    I'm not sure about the swimming costumes, but I thought the unusual textile fabrications were beautiful, like art in the form of clothes. Were they the ones you didn't like?
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Oh, the enlarged one is just STUNNING. FC1232 might remember me moaning about a marbled patterned dress earlier this season: I love marbling, and that looks like the best venetian marbled paper but gone 3d. I just adore it.

    It's beautiful isn't it? Like Missoni but on acid.

    I'm struggling to see beyond the misuse of Base02.TTF. I'm not sure I can swallow style preaching alongside such a poor grasp of typographical aesthetics...

    I didn't like the ones that looked stupid. So, most of them.

    If you want art, buy a picture, shove it on the wall.

    Hey - I own a dress now. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to dresses!

    I even wore it for about 1.5 hours before I was too drunk to stand and shuffled off to bed.

    That reminds me of that quote, can't remember who said it....

    Do people who hang plates on the wall eat off paintings?
