That Galz page has become a joke, it was ok for a while, but some people have their heads so far up certain bloggers holes that they can't see reason. I am actually horrified but not surprised that they think Ali Express copied COD. Come on like!

Yeah, the chinese companies are tracking an Irish woman's shop and selling her tat for 80% less.... :eek::P

Siobhnk · 21-09-2017 05:54PM

I think a lot of those in the galz who snap are aspiring bloggers/influencers, so don't want to say anything bad about other influencers.

wendydoll · 21-09-2017 05:55PM

Where is the galz that snap page? I always hear people talking about it and I never know where to find it

Ray37 · 21-09-2017 05:55PM

Someone should tag Rosemary Mac Cabe, she'd love this

Just put Galz Who Snap into fb. You have to request to join it though.

And any mention of Joanne/Make Up Fairy is banned!

I think the opposite! She was defending Sue for marking up her freebie Penneys jeans

retro:electro · 21-09-2017 06:04PM

Nearly 200 followers in two hours! This is actually amazing well done girlos!

Babes, could we fall under the definition of #GirlBoss now? lol

I don't think we have enough Tiffany Blue or YSL merch for that.

I think she kinda has a soft spot for Sue tho, I've seen her mention her a few times and she seems to quite like her.

Ray37 · 21-09-2017 06:10PM

Guys, this is fantastic stuff, and I'm howling at all your posts #girlboss #Tiffanyblue #ripoff

Siobhnk · 21-09-2017 06:12PM

So when bloggers say it takes months for all these projects to come together... Are they just talking about the AliExpress shipping times?

silvervixen84 · 21-09-2017 06:13PM

mod This isn't a general chat thread. Keep on topic - and I don't mean updates on the instagram account's followers.

As previously mentioned, please remember the charter:

No unfounded allegations about influencers or brands that could lead to libel action against Boards. No proof, no post.

Ray37 · 21-09-2017 06:13PM

Yeah, the stuff is probably stuck in customs for ages, plus shipping from China takes a while

Ray37 · 21-09-2017 06:55PM

The Taylor and Rose website is now down, 'under construction'....

Gunslinger92 · 21-09-2017 07:11PM

Actually can't believe some people are saying Ali express are copying yer wan. This is how brain washed some people are. Frightening really.

gossipgirl10 · 21-09-2017 07:16PM

I actually can't believe people think that aliexpress have copied Taylor and Rose are they that naive? I saw a girl on that galz who snap page saying no the stuff you buy on aliexpress is terrible quality when it arrives her stuff is proper gold and silver... that aliexpress use other people's images to promote their stuff and it's not the same when it arrives.

if people still don't want to believe it when presented with the evidence then what can you do except let them spend their hard earned cash

retro:electro · 21-09-2017 07:23PM

Or maybe she's adding in a little disclaimer like she hasn't crafted the pieces but sourced them?

Anyway apart from some on GWS page, it's good to see so many on the Insta page have their eyes opened.

And the AliExpress images are different anyway, they haven't stolen Ciara's images.

Ray37 · 21-09-2017 07:26PM

Anna you could be right! Someone mentioned that lots of ladies on the page are wannabe bloggers/influencers, and won't dare criticize, and think that's bang on the money. They don't wanna be on the outs with any big names that might see their comments.

I wonder will COD address this at all, or will she go silent and hope everyone forgets?

wolfmoon87 · 21-09-2017 07:37PM

Does anyone know her Snapchat name? I've tried googling and can't find it. Is it @ciaraodoherty ?

Edit: ^^got it. that is the Snapchat handle above

I think they know the truth but are trying to push it this way as they have vested interests themselves as aspiring bloggers, and they know this is a handy way of making money in the blogger industry in Ireland.

gossipgirl10 · 21-09-2017 07:46PM

At the end of the day no one wants to knock someone's business but it's just the greed in the level of markup on the products that had to be shown. A high price point implies a certain level of quality and there is no way that these things look good in the flesh if they cost a couple of euro to buy.

And to say you want to bring unique, luxurious and affordable products to Irish women is just taking the mick there is nothing unique about something bought from China and they aren't exactly that affordable, for a lot of women €100 is a lot of money.

It also implies that there isn't a single Irish designer making anything worth buying since she "searched high and low" and found nothing and she is a stylist.

Stheno · 21-09-2017 08:10PM

Site is backup and appears to still have the aliexpress stuff

laylag · 21-09-2017 09:04PM

Girls fair play to whomever has set up the Instagram page. I have definitely purchased some jewellery that I could have bought for a tenth of the price in Ali express.
Whatever about buying it and selling it on for a small profit...but the mark up on some of these items is astronomical.
I'm annoyed with myself for buying it now!!

Ah laylag you have every right to be annoyed. But you shouldn't be at annoyed at yourself for buying. Its the sellers that you should be annoyed at. At least you won't be caught out again

God what the hell did I start with a simple scroll through ali express while waiting for my towel to heat up for my shower ... this has snowballed

Off you popped then ya wagon and let this sh|t storm commence in your wake :pac:

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 21-09-2017 10:09PM

Had to go to work because I can't build my business on a shipment of ali express orders sadly and come back to find someone made off with my blog idea, spilling the tea that was a trademark!!!!!! 900% markup on my idea pls babes.

In all seriousness though I feel a bit bad because although she is ripping people off it's no different to most of these influencers
