Hi lurker here, I have to admit I feel weird posting but there are some thoughts I wanted to share.
First of all, the navy and white color palette in the living room was hideous and I'm glad its gone. Did they pay someone to design that?? It was so basic and tacky the only thing it was missing was a "live love laugh" decal. Also they paid someone to design those barren guest rooms???? They were just magnolia walls and tacky bed sheets! Those rooms look like an old folks home BEFORE someone moved in. Shocking if someone charged them to design that.
Other than that, the house is honestly not so bad (minus the stripper dungeon and the 2010 jersey girl closet). I actually thought it was super tacky when they moved in. It was modern in a 2002 way, like it would have been decorated with black leather sofas and a turnable CD tower.
With respect to her makeup, she really needs to stop lining her lips. The shape of her mouth is not attractive, so she makes it look worse by drawing attention to it by lining it. She looks soooo much better before she does that step. Also, I've seen some people comment that her eyes look duller - its because she stopped lining the inside rims with black liner. That really makes eyes pop, which is why they now look dull in comparison. She has also definitely had a nose job, so I don't understand why she wouldn't just get a corrective one if she's still unhappy with her nose?
Finally, and most importantly, I work in the fashion industry so I have a lot of feelings about the fashion flogging. Fist of all, farfetch is an industry parasite that sells grey market goods. That means they sell goods that they purchased in an unauthorized way (perhaps by shady distributors who wanted to get rid of leftover stock). They then sell for lower prices, which the designers cant legally prevent them from doing, and therefore damaging the brand's high-end image. So its really not a company I would want to align myself with if I took myself seriously as a "fashion blogger". I'm also acutely aware of the brands that do and don't work with bloggers, which has changed my opinion of certain brands. For example, I'm really surprised that LV and Dior, as MAJOR fashion houses would be on board with this type of marketing. It really takes away from the luxe and exclusive image of a brand. Now LV and Dior just seem like the new Michael Kors or Coach to me - mid tier accessible luxury. In contrast, I can't recall seeing the likes of Gucci, Prada, Balenciaga, to name a few, really catering to these bloggers (I may be wrong but I don't recall any instances). The smaller high-fashion brands also tend to not work with bloggers because they prioritize their artistic integrity. I know my company doesn't. So it really pisses me off when they brag about gifted products that were gifted by, for example, farfetch or net-a-porter, giving off the impression that the product was gifted by the brand itself. Shady and pathetic. There is a VERY big difference there. Those brands don't know who you are, nor do they want your publicity. On another note, it also pisses me off to no end knowing that the fashion industry is notorious for paying its employees and interns poorly, then seeing them gift expensive products and hold lavish trips/events for these bloggers. They could spend all that money on paying their employees better, rather than spending thousands to wine and dine these bloggers, who ultimately, are not watched or respected by majority of their client base.
Peace and love to everyone, our dear MGs as well. I really don't want to be mean or put out any negativity into the universe. I just have a lot of feelings about the lack of integrity in this "blogger" industry (and by extension the fashion industry) and am glad to have found a corner of the internet that feels the same. I hope you are all in good health and good company.
