Wearsmymoney - Kate Hiscox

[suzyarmstrong]

It’s happened, the Amazon link. Some truly horrific clothes advertised. She wouldn’t wear any of this stuff. She’s too busy getting more expensive freebies.

 

[thankyoudelia]

Giving away the ‘crappy’ PR gift she didn’t want (the L’Oreal skincare) and holding on to the decent stuff (nail set); shameless hinting for a free bathroom fit out; having a right style giraffe with the yuck White Stuff trench coat and matchy hi-tops; further walks comparing Hanwell and environs to the Cotswolds (but if you’re in the know you know it’s completely sh*t and rough). Ugh. I am on full-on hate watch with her now and loathe myself for it. She used to be brilliant. What the hell happened?

 

[Missmarplesknitting]

I've said it before but she's a shopping addict. Then pretends that when she's doing the blog that its more to help us style our clothes and that its likely we'll have everything already. Nope cos we're not all compulsive shoppers. She works from home now why on earth does she need so many clothes.

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

I already know she’s written about shapeless floral sack/smock dresses to wear with trainers.

 

[Pennypuppywalker]

Her house looks a right mess tbh. I couldn't stand all that junk everywhere. Yes I used to really look forward to her blog on a Sunday and her bits she did on Insta when she worked, but now I found it all so boring.

 

[Missmarplesknitting]

She is an absolute shopaholic. It used to be nice things she would buy but it looks like she just can't stop.

 

[TheRtHonClaraStoker-Daly]

Even on holiday still flogging stuff!

That dress is so like the Joanie dress she was shilling last year. She has a severe case of fashion Groundhog Day, I fear.

Also, feeling the elephant on the Gram here … Kate, you’re almost 50; you definitely need a bra with that dress.

 

[DCICassieStuart]

I'm not impressed with her promoting Canada Goose in today's blogpost. The company is well know for animal cruelty in the manufacture of their products.

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

I agree, she has lost her way. Those prairie dresses just don’t suit her at all, and her hair looks like dog ears….

She suits her hair so much better when it’s very short. It currently makes her face look longer/drags it down.

 

[Exhaustednurse]

She’s clever because she made a meal out of recommending (and aff linking) some knickers on Amazon, which she’s says are the best knickers ever.

So when she puts a list of ‘things I love from Amazon’ followers will believe, like the knickers, she’s bought them all and can recommend from experience.

So shifty.

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Those shorts nearly all look the same?! So not really shorts for everyone. What about a pair of nice tailored city shorts, rather than ones that expose half of your thigh (depending on the length of your legs)? That would be too smart for Kate

 

[suzyarmstrong]

Exactly! Seems a bit vacuous now. Plenty of women with great sustainable fashion ideas who are not just taking freebies out there!

 

[TheRtHonClaraStoker-Daly]

Kate’s doing a raffle for 2 handbags - over £10k raised already. Fair play, that’s a good thing to do.

The money she’s raising is incredible, however, I’m finding it a bit ‘meh’ that she’s raffling her second-hand Gucci and a Coach bag that I bet was #gifted. Fair play if people want to win second-hand bags and get a return on their donation, but I’m a shocking cynic as far as Kate’s desire to acquire is concerned and am convinced she’ll replace that Gucci with something just as disgustingly over-priced before too long.

Scraping the bottom of the style barrel over here:

 

[Missmarplesknitting]

Who wears clothes like this??? I live in a big city and I never see people dressed like this. Is it a London thing?

 

[Ivegotatheory]

It’s not the first Piccadilly Circus this year at all…

 

[thankyoudelia]

Moving on from the terrible haircut and because I went down the (cray cray) rabbit hole of the Meghan & Harry thread and some pretty wild conspiracy ... just how many pairs of trainers does KH own and where does she find room for them in the bijoux terraced house in Hanwell she shares with three blokes? She claims not to have wardrobes for her clothes - although I wondered if this was a sly beg for Sharpes to give her some - but she never wears the same trainers more than a couple of times but seems to have dozens of pairs. Then there’s the Grenson’s, Birkenstock’s, the ugly Dune quilted sandals and the infamous JW Anderson f*cking, f-ugly mules + + + ... how many more pairs? Where does she keep them all? Answers on a postcard please.

 

[Missmarplesknitting]

AF links for a mini chopper on Amazon?? Is she that desperate or does she really think her followers who are no doubt in the same age bracket need to be told that items like this exist.

 

[Realhousewifeofmanchester]

Yes it boring I agree - because every post is selling you something (bland). I also think it’s harder to appeal when you don’t chat on stories.
I too find the endless consuming mind boggling.

 

[PineappleQueen19]

She was refreshing as an influencer because she had a regular job and was a woman in a senior role - the clothing/outfits served an actual purpose. It was all very real. Now that the consumption is both the means and the ends, it’s so off putting and dull.

It’s a wonder more people in her position don’t take the opportunity to give back in a tangible way. It is such a good balance to the influencing work and gives a purpose (for them, apart from anything else) beyond endless consumption and encouraging debt.
