Among Friends

[4kitties]

And I do not trust Susan Street to be honest about the items she features. This last week she featured a white popover from Talbots that I had been considering. In her picture the shoulder area seemed to have an odd fit, due to the dropped shoulder seams. The top also had poor reviews on the Talbots site. When I asked her about it she refused to answer my question and said she does not read reviews. 

That told me all I needed to know and I will no longer read her blog.

@ECBG   I prefer to watch the bloggers in action on YouTube in videos. I follow 3 petite ones: Audrey Coyne, Dearly Bethany and Chic After 50. The first two are more my style...pared down, minimal fashions. Chic After 50 is for my "wild side". Don't we all have one? 

***Audrey & Bethany got me started purchasing EVERLANE  & helped me sort out and purge my closet of all I wasn't wearing & how to dress for petites...what I was doing wrong. I still break the rules, but that's me.

@Shanus Bloggers on youtube is definately better for me also.

Audrey Coyne is SO lovely! 

You might like JLJ.  She's a little taller than you but very entertaining.  With a lot of allergies, she shares her natural lip gloss and sometimes makeup she is wearing that day in addition to fashion.  I love seeing the places in Miami she goes for lunch and occasionally she takes us in a store.

@ECBG  Yes, I've followed JLJ. She shops at Talbots ALOT!! Doesn't post often, though, unless I've missed them.

@4kitties With behavior like you described, her blog may not last.

@Shanus Her posts are most often when she's dressed to go out and have lunch with a friend.  Isn't Miami a "hot spot" right now?  I could be wrong.

@ECBG   You're right, but many makeup videos/bloggers I follow are continuing from home.

@Shanus Love the one that let her hair go gray so early, Nikol Johnson.  She looks like she could be a model.  Stunning.  I'm just not particularly interested in makeup.

@ECBG Uh, she IS a model. She's all over Pinterest, catalogue work and rep for nightwear on HSN.

@Shanus Most bloggers I watch are most often home.  JlJ goes out, as does Beth After 50, whom I used to just enjoy.  Beth spends too long on one outfit.  I don't need to see her walk around in it for a full 3 minutes to see it!  This format as a change over the last few months.
