trescharmant

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> So, like, what is a fashion-obsessed Jezzie to do? Can we invent a women's glossy that caters to the fashionista writing snob? Because I love fashion nearly as much as I love correcting everyone's grammar and I have to indulge that love somewhere.

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> Lucky magazine actually called the selection of one makeup product over another a "Sophie's choice." Jean Godfrey-June, that is unforgivable.

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> there's another fashion word, delightful,
i think it means 'not our sort, but amusing.'

I love the way she's stroking it like a pet instead of a very cool brooch.

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> Great! Where do you find this? And why has a critique written long before we were born had absolutely no effect on the writing in these ad-vehicles? What is the point of sarcasm if it does not shame?

schmerd

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> I used to be a fact-checker at Lucky (most ridiculous f-ing job in the universe, I know) and was almost driven insane by their constant practice of sticking a "y" on the end of any noun in order to make an adjective: peasant-y, disoco-y, James Bond-y.

They would do this even if there was a perfectly good REAL WORD that meant the exact same thing. I almost snapped when some fool used autumn-y. Autumnal, you ninny! The word is autumnal! My blood pressure is going up just thinking about it, and this was four years ago.

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> @themidget: I mean before this general topic came up on Jezebel, not before this particular post.
To anyone who has known of this woman for years, I'm in awe.

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> Genius. I'm placing an order on Cafe Press for a "What Would Marghanita Do" shirt pronto!

YOU MADE LUCKY SUCK! MAKE IT NOT SUCK AGAIN! KTHXBAI!

SBJ

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> Can I add one more? Because referring to plural fashion items in the singular drives me crazy. Like when you are told to pair a coat with "a black pant" or why not add "a red flat" instead of just saying "black pants" and "red flats." Grr...

fulanita

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> Is that lady Moe's ancestor? Very similar looks.

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> Just wait until she finds out that celebrity couples are having their names joined together!!!

Oh, man. I would pay to be at that shitfest.

Bennifer, I and II. Brangelina, Halo, etc... (but not excuding my personal favorite "Le Will Call" - Rock on Soup, rock on.)

AnnieGetYourFun

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> Sadly, Lucky is nothing like its premiere issue. It has evolved into yet another forum for overpriced clothing and accessories. I still like to read it for the cosmetics features. A few of those things are actually available in drug stores or Target! I completely agree with shoebunny about the descriptive words. Rocker-y indeed!

iluvbacon

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> Can we just christen her St. Jezebel already?

NoInheritance

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> Y'all never focus on the use of the word "incredibly" in Lucky. Seriously, it's like twice a page. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't pretend that the words were coming out of someone else's mouth- you know, like in "my foolproof outfit" when some supposed layperson says "this blouse is incredibly diaphanous, and I like how the jeans make the whole outfit a bit rocker-y."

]]> <![CDATA[A Girl's Guide To Understanding Fashion Writing]]> This is awesome. On the rare occasions when I actually do try to sit down and read one of the articles in my Vogue or Elle or Harper's Bazaar, I find myself so confused!
