Lovelyish

that’s nothing like what she’s wearing exceot that both dresses are a pale pink

One of the other commenters noted this before –I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but why do all of these “How to look like” posts have to throw in a side-comment about the dudes in her life?  In many cases, this contributes to the perception that the woman is just decoration being funded or propped up by her boyfriend/husband/male costars.  If this was actually legit, I think it’d be ok; but many of the celebrities you’ve featured are raking in big bucks and successful in their own right (eg Katy Perry’s success is arguably greater or at least independent of her engagement to Russell Brand).

Why not say stuff like “Here’s how you can get the look for less even if you aren’t a [insert the achievement of the lady in question]“?  Why always say “Here’s how you can get the look without [insert name of perceived sugar daddy]“? 

Ooh cute.

@just_the_average_jane@xanga - we all fought about this ad nauseam yesterday. so i will point you there for our answer.

I like both looks.  I don’t think the cheap version looks anything like what she is wearing, but it is still super cute.

I love her look, but I’m not so sure about the cheap version.

loving this feature

The dupes are ok.

I never really liked Camilla’s style. Personally I think she looks older than she really is, and that’s ‘cuz her clothing and make up is too mature.

@Jessica - I looked at all the lookforcheap posts –out of 8 posts, you mentioned the men they were dating or affiliated with in over half (specifically 5) of them, when I really don’t think they’re at all relevant in any of the posts.  I am not trying to be mean, nor do I think that you’re doing this on purpose to portray the women as golddiggers/dependents.

However, I do think the (unintentional) result is to reinforce the stereotype that women are financially dependent on men, which surely isn’t something Lovelyish should promote!  I know you only intend to say that “this is how you get the look if you aren’t rich”; but by saying that “dating pro-athletes” is somehow synonymous with being rich, it makes it sound as if the woman’s financial success is due to the men she dates.  It’s a very small thing, but I think that we need to be careful about what message we might be sending in the little things as well as the big things.  Little things tend to add up, after all!

I did like the phrases you used in the Selena Gomez or Jessica Alba posts.  I would love to see more of those in the future, since I really do enjoy your look-for-cheap posts!    I appreciate what you’ve done for Lovelyish.

I see where you’re coming from thank you for your feedback! i’m glad you are letting me know what you do and don’t like about Lovelyish,(without resorting to name calling!), please keep it up!

The first one is kind of a match, but the shoes don’t look anything remotely like the pair Camilla is wearing. Still, a cute outfit.
