10 signs that you’ve been style blogging for too long…

10 signs that you’ve been style blogging for too long…

1.Your camera has replaced your face.

2. You self-narrate your day Carrie Bradshaw style

3. You justify buying damaged clothes because ‘it will never show up on the blog’.

4.When you use spell check you realise you’ve spelled ‘winter’ as ‘wintour’. Six times.

5. You’ve taken your daily outfit shot against the same wall so many times that when your friends come over they’re all ‘Oh my god. Is that THE WALL???’

6. When you mention Susie Bubble in a conversation you’re shocked that no one knows who she is.

7. You can’t pose for family holiday snaps without going pigeon toed and tossing your hair across your face.

8. You know your regular readers so well that you get worried when they don’t comment. ‘Hmmmm…. Nadist hasn’t commented on my outfit today. I hope nothing has happened to her…’

9. Your close friends and family have adopted your alias. I must have received at least 5 Christmas presents addressed to ‘Lady Smaggle’.

10. You still miss Style Bytes.

What about you Miss or Mr Blogger? Any strange behaviours you’ve adopted as a result of your blog?

Love Lady Smaggle (…she typed thoughtfully, head cocked to one side, sipping vegetable juice and absentmindedly scratching her left foot with her right one…)

    You are hilarious. I followed a little link/internet portal to your blog from Daddy Likey, and I could hardly be happier that I did!

    haha, great post!
    btw, thanks for your comment 🙂 It’s nice to meet you, Lady Smaggle.

    xx

    Oh this made me laugh SO loud!

    And aside from numbers 1 and 4 I’m guilty of all! Except the tossing hair across my face – my daily pose rather means that I look at the floor and stick out my chin whenever anyone points a camera at me!

  4. Luinae 14 years ago

    Wow, this rocks! 8 is so totally true for me.

  5. Megan 14 years ago

    Haha I love this post!
    I now rate my life experiences by whether or not there worthy to appear on my blog.

  6. Sarah-Rose 14 years ago

    Oh! So funny and so so true. Though, because I don’t tend to take outfit photos, a lot of these don’t apply. But seriously, 2010 is five years for ohdarling.net.nz and that’s a little long 😉

  7. Reyna 14 years ago

    I see all of my experiences in the form of a blog post with a picture to match. You’re awesome! Keep blogging!

    Oh this was brilliant!

    Thanks for the great laugh. I so just imagined myself in your life.

    You’re so good at writing. Don’t ever stop. xx

    I self-narrate my life constantly. I’ve done this since childhood though so it’s not so much a result of blogging. In blogging I finally found a place to release the self-narration demons… Praise be for blogging!

  10. Frances aka Aury 14 years ago

    Oh my gosh- something that has just happened to me as a result of blogging is this:
    On online forms such this blog’s comment form, I never know what to write when they ask for my name. This is because my penname is Aury and thats the name I use on my blog but my everyday name is Frances. I ended up settling with Frances aka Aury (after almost writing Aury aka Frances)
    I’ve also signed my name on some official forms as Aury by accident (before correcting myself).
    Great Post!

    omg, these are so true! I was shocked at people not knowing The Glamourai and etsy stores lol. I worry about the absence of commentors (hehe) and I was thinking of writing (another) tribute to Style Bytes (best blog ever hands down). I wish people would start to call me by my alias….. I like ‘Eyeliah”. 🙂

  12. LOL, this is so true! 😀

  13. Teresa 14 years ago

    so right… 😀

    Heidi Rose – Oh yay! That makes me so happy! I heart Winona!

    Anna – No worries! You’re blog is cute as.

    Caroline – I’m the queen of weird head angles.

    Luinae – That’s a real reader and she still hasn’t commented! I’m getting so freaked out now!

    Megan – Ha! Totally! My friends get weird if I don’t mention them as often as others as well.

    Rayna – Thanks! x

    Sarah-rose – 5 years! Congrats!

    Fat Mum Slim – Right back at you! x

    Rachel – Me too! Mine was more Babysitters club style when I was little though.

    Frances – Lady Smaggle is common amongst my friends now!

    Eyeliah – I’m not quite sure how to pronounce it actually… is it literally eye-liar?

    Blue in fashion – Sad hey?

    Teresa- x

    I use leet speak in every-day conversations. I actually say things like ‘LOL’ and ‘WTF’; and the other day I wrote ‘Peeps’ on a form at work and got into lots of trouble from this woman in Finance with a Peace-symbol necklace!!!

    The horror.

  16. reckless daughter 14 years ago

    I SO miss style bytes!!!

  17. Leia 14 years ago

    LOL this is hilarious!

  18. Rosie 14 years ago

    Amazing post!

    I’ve started thinking: Ohh! I can’t wait to blog about this.

    And when you “comment” on people outfits in your head, just like you would comment on an outfit post on a blog.

  19. Nadist 14 years ago

    Hi dollface! It’s go-away-on-holiday time, don’t worry, I’m fine, and SO touched you missed me. Big kiss!

  20. Lady Smaggle 14 years ago

    Grant – Oh jesus. Even I don’t go that far.

    Reckless – I know. I often just go and scroll through her archives…

    Leia – Thanks!

    Rosie – Totally. I do that too!

    Nadist – Thank god! I was about to send out a search party… welcome back!
