Kat Farmer DMBL40 #2 Tone deaf

I think she was a headhunter.

I went back to find the blog post. Kat doesn’t mention recruitment or head hunting, just a very important job. And the posh menswear shop was Pringle on Bond St.

The post is worth clicking on just for Kat’s outfits:

Something you don't hear me say very often.

I knew her from forums long before she wrote a blog.

Think a lot of us did, damsels, handbag etc. She was just as annoying on those.

 

[Froggies]

She looks much better in the older photos before she adopted the “look to the side, mouth wide open, pretend to laugh” pose she uses every day now. Every time I see that pose I just think “pac man”

Gosh, she looks so young and fresh faced back then. Obviously.

That’s the thing: it’s not THAT long ago. I swear all the cosmetic procedures haven’t made her look like a better version of herself; she just looks like a different person (who does things to her face).

 

[bunsofsteel]

Without sounding a total witch, because maybe she doesn't care, but ALL the cosmetic procedures that she has and she's never bothered to get the warty skin tag removed from the side of her face. It would bug the tit out of me. It's all I notice when she's talking!

Kat’s latest Instagram post - she really needs to lay off the tweakments for a good while now, she’s quickly getting that false plastic look!

 

[Isthatso?]

It’s the filler in the cheeks, it’s odd looking. Far too extreme. Kat also had the filler put in less than 2 weeks after her vaccine which is not advised. But yeah, she always looks odd when it’s put in. She had it done last summer too (not the 18months she said in the video).
Its interesting to see/ remember how’s she’s changed. We all evolve in style over time. I won’t be buying the book because I’ve heard all she has to say on clothes.
I know she knows nothing about fabric, design, cut and quality markers. She just likes shopping. Her blogs were great for ‘Here’s 20 floral dresses/ red jumpers/ black skirts’ it basically saved me trawling through the Internet.
Once she started getting paid the content changed, the blogs stopped and Instagram took over. It became more diluted and less useful.
I go and see her every now and again, but just to be nosey.

This x 100. I used to use her content loads (I live in an area where you pretty much have to shop 100% online as there are so few mainstream shops) but it's nigh-on useless now. I'd catch my death and be trailing mud all over if I wore a maxi-dress. She also finds it really hard to adapt what she likes for other body shapes - all her clothes are for waistless people.

Nailed it.

Her cheeks look like prominent tumours.

Also people with no boobs. You can’t wear the dresses she wangs on about if you’ve got tits. You end up looking either pregnant or like a blancmange. Or like a pregnant blancmange.

exactly: “here’s 3 black skirts from the brands who pay me” — what use is that?!?

 

[MadameOvary]

I think Instagram suits people like her - bung it up, kerching - but users have lost out. Kat's also lost out though as she comes across a lot better when she's writing, rather than gurning to camera.

 

[Dizzy]

I've followed Kat for years (Handbag, Damsels etc) and I did really used to like her style but it seems so dated now. Don't get me wrong, sometimes she looks amazing but this maxi skirt/dress. denim jacket, cross body look has been done to death and I'm bored of it. I follow a lot of French bloggers and much prefer their style for a modern take on timeless dressing.

On the subject of her book (and lets not forget that books on how to dress age like milk because fashion is constantly evolving, even if it's promoting dressing in a really classic way), why buy a book when you can use YouTube, Pinterest or IG for free?

 

[pinkrobot]

Also can anyone who knows how these things work explain why she is ‘launching’ a book now that will only be published next April? Do her people worry the bubble might burst and they’re shoring up orders now?
Yesterday there was even a paid partnership with Sky. She is so removed now from her original fashion focus it’s almost ironic she is bringing a book out. All her brand is about now is just whoever pays the top dollar or can provide ££££ gifts. In the very early days she was much more authentic. I looked at the rail of hideous mumsy clothes she faux-gushed over in the M&S van the other week and thought the 2013 Kat wouldn’t have been seen dead in those clothes!

 

[bunsofsteel]

I did think April 2022 is a LONG time away in the world of blogging.

I barely recognised her face in that awfully naff 'caught out' photo. Must be all the work she's had done. When she published her wediing photo I do remember thinking she'd fitted in an eye lift also, as they used to be quite hooded.
