Her constant reference to her size is so annoying. Congrats to her on the weight loss and all, but it's done in such a way that she tries to breeze over the size, but you know she is dying to tell everyone when she got something in a small etc. It's very obvious. I find her to be very 'braggy' in a lot of areas, I find it a very off putting quality. It's all a bit self congratulatory.

Exactly. It's different from self confidence, that doesnt need to be shouted from the rooftops and validated by what size jeans you wear.... Like we all love to feel good and want to be happy when we lose a few lbs, but to continually allude to how 'tiny' you've become is just a major eye roll for me.

Sure clothes size means nothing it can be different in different shops anyway!!
I have clothes in 2-3 different sizes for that reason and I'd say it's the same for most people.

If she's genuinely confident in her size why does she need to manipulate her photos... Makes no sense really.

Ray37 · 22-09-2017 5:52pm

The photoshopping... I've seen real pics, as in unedited ones, and let's just say she is heavily reliant on filters, facetune, and changing her entire body shape....

retro:electro · 22-09-2017 5:53pm

It's the "I got this in a medium BECAUSE, and I got this in a 10 BECAUSE" that irks me. Why do you need to justify what size you are or why you bought that size? You don't do it for smaller sizes. You're more than happy to say "this is a size 8" and leave it at that, no excuses necessary. Stinks of being insecure over her size.

Ray37 · 22-09-2017 5:55pm

I know, what does she want, people to snap her and say 'amazing that you are wearing a size small, congrats'???? It's a very odd way to carry on at her age, she is extremely immature. I don't even think she'd appeal to many teens, which makes me wonder who the hardcore fans are? Unless they are super young, maybe 12/13??

wyrn · 22-09-2017 5:59pm

It's definitely insecurity. I mean she tells us every time she's bloated in case anyone would think otherwise and tbh I can't see a difference. I think she looks grand.

I've always been a bigger size because of my genetic child rearing hips and boobs. Does this make me fat - no but it does mean I have to go up sizes to look covered. Nothing worse than a shirt stretched so tight across the bust area with the buttons straining so much it's a potential health hazard to passing eyes. *pop*

Also I though she was doing all those weights and stuff to get a more muscular body, so again you'd go up a size without being a plus size model. She used to always show off her bum, think she was going for a bit of a Kim K look - again, you'd have to go up a size to cover it.

Size really doesn't matter because we're all different shapes and sizes and shops all have their own weird scales. A size 12 could vary between an 8 -6 depending on the shop!

Speaking of fairy, she was at the pretty little thing headquarters today and left with a bag soooooo massive that the bag needed two seats on the train home. Then a picture of her posing with said massive bag (which is no doubt full of tat)!

Saw the picture on Instagram, thought it a really odd idea to wear a Nike branded top to visit another clothing retailer even if it’s not a direct competitor it was the Nike logo that first caught my eye not the PLT bag.

retro:electro · 22-09-2017 6:34pm

Who wears gym gear to a press event?

Ray37 · 22-09-2017 6:35pm

She'll have everything in that bag on Depop about 30 seconds after she's taken it off.

MuffinTop86 · 22-09-2017 6:37pm

PLT have some nice bits. It's not really aimed at her age bracket but I'd take a big bag of stuff if it was going.

James Kavanagh today and his iphone 8+, so lucky!! You can't dislike him though.

I had to google it because I thought I was saying it wrong. She says is more like "giv-von-shee" rather than "jee-von-shee". I'm not saying everyone needs to know how to pronounce French names but come on, they pronounce it on their givenchy perfume ads every year on the run up to Christmas especially. and you just dropped the small fortune on a small bag, at least get the name right.

I think she also use to pronounce the "t" in Yves Saint Laurent as well.

This is so funny, I thought Beyonce educated the masses on how to pronounce it- "I'm so reckless when I rock my Givenchy dress"

The MUG is that filtered and tuned in her pictures if u passed her in the street you wouldnt reconise her she's not near a size 8 but she looks better than me, and I'm an 8, on Instagram

I just read that Kate Middleton is a size 8 (not pregnant obviously!) she's the same height as muf, there's no way on earth they are the same size!!!

Omg all her snaps that shes talking on are so filtered! The one that makes your eyes bigger and jaw smaller.. I noticed that yesterday (only started following her after handbag-gate!) Haha

I don't follow her never have she's so rude met her in easilocks about 6 years ago I was getting extensions for my wedding. Had to wait 40 mins for her to finish her numerous calls for my appointment full of self importance. Google her and see if u can get a picture that was taken of her by someone else then u will see

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 23-09-2017 4:50pm

Why does it matter what size her jeans are? I'm no 8 myself, I'm certainly not going to think any less of her because of what she can or cannot fit into

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 5:05pm

I see MUF has decided to take a break from snap etc for a few days, was half wondering had she seen these threads and was taking some time to reflect on what she's been sharing recently?? Maybe not, timing just seemed odd to me.

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 5:09pm

Nevermind, she is snapping as normal

retro:electro · 23-09-2017 5:24pm

Is there anything more annoying than when they have this big announcement that they're taking a break and then two hours later business as usual :snooze:

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 5:38pm

Pure attention seeking. Just take a break and get on with it. It just goes to show how some people think viewers are consumed by watching them. They really need to get over themselves. The only snappers I like anymore are the ones that don't think they are high and mighty, like you can genuinely tell they are sound. No airs and graces, or photoshopping, or white labelled crap.

MuffinTop86 · 23-09-2017 6:26pm

Her chat is off so I think she means taking a break from replying to people. Which she always does, in fairness. I find hers can be quite interesting and not dogs lying on the bed or whatever.
I met her once she seens like a nice person no airs and graces (that is the most country phrase ever).

I just saw that with about 20 snaps following does she not realise how ridiculous she looks doing that lol

I was thinking her snaps this evening would be perfect getting engaged snaps. Lovely weather, fab cocktails, quaint English village, boating etc...

In fairness it looked like a lovely day out

But she clearly said she'll be taking a few days break from social media and #unplugged
Grand if she changed her mind but it's just a bit odd continuing on like you've said nothing

blairbear · 23-09-2017 6:55pm

She's taking a break from social media but asking us all to guess what she's up to by looking at her instagram picture.

I think she lives in Opposite Land.

Meaning 'please everyone guess I got engaged'.

I unfollowed her again because she has literally no content anymore and the childish guessing games are just annoying.
If she has something to say... Just say it!!

blairbear · 23-09-2017 7:00pm

They are all guessing engaged/moving in together/buying a house together.

I swear to god, if she gets engaged, it will be about as silly as Kylie Jenner getting pregnant.

They guess that for everything because it's what she wants so desperately.
If they did get engaged I'd be very surprised if it wasn't live streamed

(joke!!!)

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 23-09-2017 7:09pm

She won't get engaged, he's not that into the relationship from what's being shown. Another product release maybe.

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 7:10pm

Can anyone actually tell me what her content is?? Like what is her niche? I'm so baffled, is her bf her content now? That seems to be it really?? The bf and free clothes? I will say I didn't follow her much when she was in Ireland, has her 'content' always been this poor?

I know where she can get a great deal on some bridal pieces

I bet she'd be on asking for ideas where to get rehearsal dinner & honeymoon clothes and Cari's Closet will fall for it again

Stheno · 23-09-2017 7:13pm

Was it sosue who got married recently?

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 7:15pm

I think she wants people to assume she's engaged to put the pressure on himself. Whyyyy are some girls so obsessed with getting a ring on it?? If you are pushing for it so hard without him doing it of his own accord, that should tell you enough. Remeber a few weeks ago she shared a private msg between the 2 of them of her sending him a wedding dress? His response was somehing like 'okay.... *runs and hides*'.

wirelessdude01 · 23-09-2017 7:20pm

Picture of a house with a for sale sign outside it on her Instagram.

laylag · 23-09-2017 7:20pm

I started following MUF 5 or so years ago...maybe more. She used to do Brilliant YouTube videos on make up and I really enjoyed watching them. I think that was her main focus back then.
Since she has moved more into fitness her content has lessened and lessened and I really don't know why I follow her now.
I think Snapchat is a crutch for blogless bloggers....i.e. they don't blog about anything and think that inane chat into the camera on their phone is enough to keep people interested and to keep the freebies coming.

If she can afford to buy a red brick townhouse near London, then I am seriously doing something wrong. There is no way.

I think she was showing it cos the door is her fave, "Tiffany Blue".

Ray37 · 23-09-2017 7:29pm

Deffo only coz of the colour of the door...: Also probably wants people to assume she can afford to buy in 'Central'....

wendydoll · 23-09-2017 7:35pm

Maybe she bought the door...

MuffinTop86 · 23-09-2017 7:36pm

Actually come to think of it when she made him breakfast and said "I'm such a good wife" it was totally cringe.
Then she said I'm getting loads of messages, no we didn't secretly fet married it's just a phrase.
Yes, for married people. I've been with my bf 7 years and never said that.
Guaranteed her fans were messaging him too omg congrats!! Level 5 hint dropping.
