How many denim jackets do you need? I have 2 (both different style) but every one of Helens are just your regular Same same denim jacket. I find her too hard to watch on stories as she just doesn’t come up for air!!

you're right - she seems on the verge of a breakdown

 

[Emmadale]

She must be raking it in with all these swipe ups (some are Amazon! ) and ads. Just what the planet needs, people to buy more stuff that they probably don’t need, but are influenced by these online conwomen who fake it to make money. Let’s face it - she could buy something, review and share for free. She doesn’t. Instead constantly ordering, receiving new clothes, jewellery, beauty products etc. Some of which gets returned after she’s tried it on and added a swipe up link! Wonder how much gets flogged on EBay too? Encouraging excessive consumerism is not good - you only have to read Attenborough’s book to realise this and all the tv documentaries.

Agree with all of this, these influencers seem to think very little about waste/carbon footprint etc.

And what is Helen up to with the shoes that she keeps dropping in now and then?! Looks like a copy of her shoes she always raves about but surely she’s not claiming to be a shoe designer now?!

Attaching cookies by deceit to followers Amazon/look fantastic/ matalan accounts is paying her a huge monthly salary so there's no way the swipe ups will stop. The ones she repeats are the biggest earners.

Stealth boasting is the worst and abi and Helen do it all the time, especially abi. Oh poor me I'm so skinny I have to eat fried food, poor me having to take my kids to sports all the time, poor me having to wear kids sizes, poor me being gifted all this stuff, poor me being so rich, excuse my mum tum and rolls guys.... it's sickening.

Exactly!!!!

I think she seems a nice person but the constant buying shed loads of clothes onn no key to send them back doesn’t sit right with me. I know she gets given lots now but I still feel she’s encouraging others to buy loads right try on. It’s just a bit boring now too as others have said. She keeps saying she’s a 14 but really doesn’t look it - I’m a definite 14 and would look bloody awful with shirt half tucked in (which I don’t get anyway!).

 

[Rosiepie]

I thought for quite some time some of those dresses she loves look horrendous and as for the piece of advice to put a vest top under a cut out back dress...... Jesus get a grip! She's chaotic and her sense of style reflects that.

I thought that about the cut out back - she will flog absolutely anything. No shame whatsoever. She can’t possibly keep all of those clothes either. Can’t stand the try ons either - did you see her story her best friend and her wearing jumpsuits and comparing themselves to ghostbusters? I would have deleted that video. Her poor mate looked ever so uncomfortable.

40notfrumpys photos against that grotty brick wall are just awful. If I were a brand I would never send any of my clothing to that lot that think they’re 40/50+ supermodels doing ridiculous crouched down poses and stuffed in ill fitting clothes. And why is it, that wearing a bikini or bra and knicks gets thousands of likes when they look hideous?

They go for the #girlpower angle I think. With 40notfrumpy it surprises me that she talks about anxiety but then sits there posing awkwardly in her pants as it’s #gifted!

 

[Rosiepie]

I won't buy from sweaty Betty now, I used to love their leggings, fyi the H&M gym leggings are very good quality and don't bobble and only £17.99

Not tried H&m but thanks for the tip! I did buy a pair of gym leggings from GAP and they have lasted over 2 years and are like new - stay in place and aren’t see through.

Just catching up now. Wtaf?? It's tragic! Really really tragic!!

Really tragic.

I have never seen anyone wearing one out of their own homes! Let alone walking the dog!

 

[Emmadale]

I bloody hate that she does this. All for shit she never ever shows except for at times like this. That fucking massage device and the diffuser are amazon so that’s basically all Christmas gifts if people don’t delete their cookies. Eugh.

Yes, I hate this about her. Just so so grabby!! She can be likeable but when I see all this it puts me right off her especially when it’s all stuff she clearly doesn’t buy or use. She has by far the most amount of stories of any instagrammer I follow and it’s because it’s all swipe ups!

Backofthewardrobe needs her own thread.

Yes agree I don’t follow her so it’s getting very confusing to see comments about her on here!

Backofthewardrobe needs her own thread.

 

[Emmadale]

40notfrumpy always seems to feel the need to show the same ‘This is me when I was fat vs this is me now thin’ photos when her likes/followers drop. For some reason every time she does the exact same photo she get thousands of likes! I find her dull as anything, her photos against a brick wall with weeds in the background are hardly inspirational, 99% gifted, very often don’t suit her and are ill fitting. I unfollowed her a long time ago.

Presume she gets extra followers via a #swimmingworld or similar. I cringe for her having to do the underwear shots!

 

[Teresa1974]

Her 2 daughters always look so smug too...

 

[Fauxfurgilet]

I thought the same when I saw the new look ad with her kids earlier, really is a new low.

 

[Teresa1974]

I wondered why we werent seeing so much Matalan and JD Williams stuff this year...didnt JD send them all on a freebie holiday last year? 40notfrumpy always looks so awkward in front of the camera...does anyone know how much they earn from the affiliate links?

 

[Saps]

Oh dear the wool hoodie and checked blazer....

 

[Basicbasic]

Abi is very annoying. Talk about privilege and being spoilt. All she does is shop and drink wine. I can't stand all the freebies she shows off when she can clearly afford them all! I don't know why anyone would choose this lifestyle, it's so undignified. Sell sell sell. And so much of it is tat. They constantly target cheaper shops like hm brew look Primark in the hope they get a deal. And it's worked for Helen who is now working for these shops but never sends to wear any of the clothes in real life!

 

[OhhBacon]

But hun she is just sharing some lovely dresses she found to help you out. #begrateful.

*Obviously joking.

I don't think a petition is needed to save tattle. They can't close it down because it is opinions about their sneaky lying behaviour.
However things work both ways, if they want us sensored then I agree they should be sensored and not allowed to flog utter crap to people without fully declaring what they are up to.

 

[Sooz]

I have to admit, I laughed. I don't really expect her to be cool and polished. There are plenty others for that.

And I'm sick of all the "perfect" ones, tbh.
