Never Is the Next New Thing

Seriously, Fashion Bloggers…

…stop it. I GET that Elle’s Kate Lanphear is great. You’ve made that crystal clear. Each of the following links goes to a different blog’s Lanphear post:

Now take pity on me and find a new goddess to worship before I come down with terminal boredom. I suggest underappreciated style icon Coco.

Coco’s ass will beat Kate Lanphear’s ass

  1. so.
    fuckin.
    OVER HER.

    i mean…she wears a lot of “fake punk” diamond encrusted bracelets. um…so WHAT?

    PS
    I LOVE COCO
    OMG
    I TOTALLY AHVE A FOLDER OF PITURES OF HER BC SHE IS SOOOOO FUCKING NEXT LEVS!!!!

    yes yes yes!!

  2. Hahahaha. I love this! I’ve never been a fan of her style, too much black for me! The only thing I love is her pyramid studded bracelet.

  4. Guess I’ll have to click some of those links to find out who this Kate person is.

    Sign me,

    Living Under a Rock

  6. Lol. Am I the ONLY one who didn’t know who she was till this post? I need to clean up my act and start reading more blogs haha.

  10. she’s cool and i really appreciate her style, but like oversprayed perfume, she’s overwhelming me.

  11. Well, I think Coco has her particular style, isn´t she??

    I love berets too, they´re so glam!
    😉

  12. she’s lovely… but i know what you mean, there’s a lot of those blogebrities… like eh… louise?

    i’m more jealous of blogs that can post content that’s on a million other blogs and still seem fresh and cool.

  13. I’m not seeing it I’m afraid. She’s a bit dull and…’safe’. Am I missing something?

  14. lol if i’m honest i don’t know much of her but shes just a tad overstated now *sarcastic eye-rolling occurs*. I like how aggressive you are in your opinion. Its a refreshing change from the masses!

  16. I was all “Kate who?” Then when I saw her I just wanted to say “Get your damn hair out of your face.”

    I’m glad that she seems nice.

    Luv
    Poochie

  17. I’m so glad that my google reader has not discovered this Kate Lanphear yet. Seriously, not a single damned post about her.

    Phew.

  18. Ahaha! Thanks for the laugh! Have you seen a picture of Coco doing a center split? Picture from behind, of course. Very classy.

  19. Hopefully this lovefest, like any other trend, will soon pass. I agree that it’s gone a bit Kate crazy out there …

  20. Hey Wendy

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I checked out your jewellery site a few weeks ago and was totally blown away. That black onyx skull ring is the first thing I’m going to buy if I make it big or win the lottery! I never imagined that black onyx could look so stunning.

  22. If it wasn’t for you I fear I wouldn’t know either Kate or Coco. But, so as to compensate all the love for Kate let me say:
    Coco is great
    Coco is great
    Coco is great
    Coco is great.;-)

  26. I actually hadn’t really noticed Kate Lanphear so I guess I am out of the “street style” loop . . . but if I had access to the ELLE editors’ closet, I would imagine that I’d be on the best dressed as well!

    xoxox,
    CC

    P.S. Kim K might give Coco a run for her money!

  32. god i hope kate has googled herself recently for the biggest confidence boost, kind of shows how similar blogs are becoming too!

  33. *whispers*

    I don’t see what the big deal about her is. She doesn’t overly impress me with her style.

    *goes back to photo editing*

  36. ah let the woman have her moment 🙂
    she’s pretty great. put dang! that’s a lot of posts!

  37. I really don’t want to rain on her parade because God knows she does her job well! But I just wish she wouldn’t pose so much for all those street style blogs. I’ve seen her God knows how many times during all the fashion weeks!!

    Oh, you forgot to add her photos on the street style blogs..

  40. this is hilarious

    ps. i saw over on susie bubble’s blog that you wanted the acne platform sandals? they still have them on eluxury, they’re on sale. just in case 🙂

  42. Kate Lanphear has great style, but holy shit thats a lot of overexposure in the blogosphere!!!!!!

  43. To be honest, it is not just Kate Lanphear, it is all the fashion journalists, fashion editors etc that I’d like to stop coming across in Fashion blogs… They are journalists, in massive fashion mags. Not too hard to look amazing when you RECEIVE all the clothes to your desk every week/month/season. They are all clones of each other, there is no individuality, no personality, I am so bored by their outfits and the fact that you could swap them around and not see ANY difference.

    I am still giggling about the list of links though.

  45. Mlle Robot, email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com and tell me what your post is about because if mine overlaps too much I won’t do mine!

  47. i may dont get the fuss about her but that is how fashion blogs work right? there is so much ‘inspiration’ between us that we actually end to post about the same things-sometimes even with the same title!!

    anw i get your point but trends are trends and that’s why you see them everywhere.

    a bientot (:

  49. I agree with everyone who says they’re over Ms. Lanphear – if Katie Holmes is on the ‘cuffed-boyfriend-jean’ bandwagon, it’s hardly the cutting edge of chic, now, is it?

    Then again, maybe I’m just too boring to get it..

  50. Guilty! But I did really love your post–don’t remember how I came across it–but dude. So true.
