@ £25 a pop, I would rather take my chance and buy from a ‘dodgy Chinese apparel website’

Rosie (The Londoner) is terrible for it - I reported her last week for not declaring something on her grid that then had her usual almost hidden ad tag on a story about the post 
Does Kerry Whelpdale have her own thread? Just watched her cleaning video from 3 weeks ago (8 minutes of my life I’ll never get back!) and it’s a blatant Dyson ad!! Can’t even see ‘ad’ hidden anywhere, it’s just not declared at all. She basically parrots the pr waffle throughout the video and says the dyson was gifted. No way it doesn’t need ‘ad’
Yes she's a huge offender with the hidden affiliate links and also posts a lot of discount codes for free stuff she's been sent and doesn't mark them AD. This isn't her main source of income and I hardly think she needs a few extra quid from some affiliate links! I had to unfollow after all the running stories she was posting. And that "competition" that she did in the summer to win a visit to the house but was actually won by another instagram interiors account (yeah right)....what was that all about?

Cool story Alice.
It’s a T-shirt...
It’s a T-shirt...
If an instagrammer is working on a paid partnership with a brand for example Matalan, and then post a photo maybe a week later wearing the same clothes they were paid to advertise through matalan, do they have to declare that these clothes were part of a previously paid partnership?
Same applies to furniture received from John Lewis partnership - if you post pictures of your home that show these items should it all be declared and made transparent? Can’t find theASA guidelines on this.

Haven’t read the book (intrigued but I think it would enrage me) but apparently it had to be rewritten at the last minute because her (then) boyfriend ended things but then they were back together and engaged within a few weeks of it being published. She’s one of those who seem really self deprecating but it just doesn’t ring true and I think she’s actually got a massive ego
Hello, Alice here. Yes, the t-shirts are the ones on Friends; I wanted one but couldn’t find them retailed anywhere so decided to make and sell them myself. It’s right there in the product description - https://morethantoast.org/products/girls-tee-in-green/
Replicating a t-shirt from a 15 year old tv show that has no official retailer is not the same thing as ripping off a small businesses creative design. Had I been able to buy the tee anywhere other than dodgy Chinese apparel websites, I would have.
Thanks!

Sazloves. Often doesn’t state if her swipe ups are affiliate. Selling gifted items on Shpock.
Toni Interiors. Not declaring things properly.

Ah phew! I wondered if that was just me being a bit weird. It did all seem to move fast when they first got together and then the engagement so soon after breaking up would be a huge red flag to me. When she was single there seemed to be a hint of ‘desperation’ (I hate using that term) but still some glee about her hitting the dating scene hard. I think she was brought up very middle class and conventional and even though she spouts on and on about how the divorce was the right thing and the making of her blah blah blah I think there’s some shame there still and she just really wanted a man in her life.
It’s the £30 rip off T-shirts that seriously infuriate me though and I can’t believe no one has pointed it out to her! She doesn’t appear to have any kind of ‘management’ so maybe she’s truely not aware of the #ad rules but for not one person to point out the blatant plagiarism of the design is bizarre. Ok, I’m not pointing it out either but I enjoy my hate watching too much to get myself blocked
Couldn’t find anywhere else to put this but anyone know of More Than Toast/Alice Judge-Talbot?? Just recently she’s been driving me nuts but I can’t stop what I guess is now classed as hate watching. She hardly ever labels ads, I’m sure she gets loads gifted l, no idea about affiliates. She tries to be so #relatable but she regularly drops £100s on new dresses for events, shops Waitrose and is so middle class it’s painful. She’s constantly ill or having a moan blah blah blah she’s annoying

Oh, and she came out with her own ‘merch’, T-shirt’s and mugs with feminist slogans which were all obviously ripped off. One t shirt just has ‘girls’ across it in exactly the same font as a T-shirt Rachel from friends was wearing back when it was on

This is a thread to discuss AD dodgers and their shady tactics - the ones that may not be interesting enough for a thread of their own, but are still happy to flout the rules and mislead their followers.

Alice also stole quotes from women of colour for her t shirts.

£25 is expensive for a single T-shirt, regardless of slogan or ‘earth positive’ buzz words.
I found one for £8.99 earlier and even that has a profit margin.

She loves to be oh so #relatable but I don’t imagine she’s very relatable to most of her (our) age range. I’m not sure I can even afford to log on to net a porter let alone send my boyfriend a wish list and then treat myself a week before Christmas!
She was claiming poverty a couple of months ago because of an unpaid invoice which meant she had to dip into a savings account (or an isa or some stocks, she did a finance video and seems to have them all). Still didn’t need to downgrade from Waitrose even to Sainsbury’s though!

She's away again this weekend and I bet she's not paying for that house they're staying in the way she's tagging them constantly Surely that should be declared as #gifted just like anything else you get for free. She's also guilty of hiding her affiliate links hashtag behind profile pic.

She has been ticked off by ASA more than once. She gets round it now by marking things as #presstrip of #pressstay instead of AD on one or two pictures instead of making it clear the whole trip is a freebie. I used to find her tweeness charming but now she just gets on my nerves with her shady ways.
