I've gone and had a look. The outfits are cute enough. I fear they may well be lucky fashion victims... lucky not to have been totally taken for a ride so far.</p> <p>Those Giuseppe Zanotti glitter boots cost $537, and they're not looking different than Vera Wang's $100 glitter boots, who BTW he's designed for. </p> <p>I'm just saying... I'm guessing people tell them what's what and not the other way around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806828 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:32:19 +0000 Amy 806828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely, Una! That's why YLF is so fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806819 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:23:27 +0000 Anonymous 806819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amen, Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806813 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:54:43 +0000 catgirl 806813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I thought about this more as I realized I have stopped following most style bloggers over the last year. Partly it is that I'm more interested now in refining my own style and less in being inspired at the moment. But honestly it is also that lack of relatability with many bloggers. I am not young, white, wealthy, tall, model-gorgeous or blonde - and I know those are not good reasons to ignore possible inspiration, but I find myself frustrated with it at times. It's not just the Beckermans but all those bloggers who seem to have endless time and shopping resources. I'm sure they really don't all - like Jessica who used to mostly thrift. I feel torn between the fantasy of a life revolving around style and dressing oneself and the reality of the balancing act that is my own life. That's why I'm partial to YLF - both Angie and the community give style accessibility that applies to all of us. Does that make any sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806712 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 15:38:20 +0000 Angie 806712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Denise said. (Thanks for saying it so well, Denise! I'm tired, and the day has only just started). No more contrived than other dramatic fashion bloggers who post outfits each day. They're having fun with fashion and I like that part best. </p> <p>And Vildy is a walking internet encyclopedia </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806602 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 11:30:37 +0000 Vildy 806602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's this: <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/carefree-white-girl" rel="nofollow">http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/carefree-white-girl</a></p> <p>There's a whole set of articles and spoof videos out there that derived from an analysis of film and the iconic fey carefree white girl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806562 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 06:08:13 +0000 CocoLion 806562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and I agree Susie Bubble is great, she is really smart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806561 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 06:07:26 +0000 CocoLion 806561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not my style but I like them! Sure they're contrived but so many style bloggers are. I like the way they aren't so "perfect" as Atlantic-Pacific. And you have to give them credit for being regular weight and height (at least, I like that!). Finally, I think they are trying to have fun with fashion and their poses reflect that. They aren't falling into the typical crossed-leg, faraway looking blogger poses. Thanks for the link Anna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806556 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 05:46:31 +0000 catgirl 806556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I learned of them a couple of years ago with their connection to the Glamourai (which I stopped following when her blog format changed and got too complex). I agree they seem a bit too "contrived whacky/look at this outrageous designer find we just happened upon for pennies at a local garage sale, tee hee" for me. I have to wonder where some bloggers get the time and money to shop incessantly and that has turned me off a number of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806545 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 05:19:36 +0000 Deborah 806545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im not familiar with this blog. I'm afraid I got bored by page three:) For me there is no relateability. I can't really define what this is for me exactly but these lovely girls clearly live on a different planet to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806537 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 05:05:49 +0000 Janet 806537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kinda see what you mean. It's a little on the self-indulgent side maybe? Whereas I actually find Susie Bubble informative, even if its often too whimsical for my style. </p> <p>It's one of those blogs I can see following for individual items that would catch my eye, but I don't imagine ever copying one of their looks head to toe. </p> <p>I do love Kelly Wearstler's jacket in that one photo though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806533 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 04:57:29 +0000 annagybe 806533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The thing is I really like Susie Bubble of Style Bubble as well. Her style is definitely not everyday wear either.<br /> I also like Atlantic-Pacific and she's always staged. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806529 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 04:51:35 +0000 rae 806529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean. It's fun eye candy, but it feels like a blog of editorials and not something meant for real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806528 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 04:44:53 +0000 jenanded 806528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kind of fun to watch but... I probably like something more real myself </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-feel-like-i-really-should-like-this-blog#post-806523 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 04:13:35 +0000 annagybe 806523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.beckermanbiteplate.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.beckermanbiteplate.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>They feature many of the designers I like, eg Isabel Marant. They're pretty maximal and they look like they're having fun with fashion. But it just seems so, I don't know, contrived.<br /> I trolled through about a year of their posts and from what I can gather they're pretty big name bloggers, but I only discovered them today. </p>
