Dear disgruntled reader

Oh, hey, look! My first hater comment! Woot!

"You are making your blog more of a marketting site by doing so much advertising for god knows what all things in return! Seriously!This is meant to be a clothes blog and not some god damn stupid things review! Ofcourse you will love them cause you are like marketting them!Please stop these. Takes away the niceness of your blog!"

Yeap, that's the hater comment in all it's original glory.


Dear disgruntled reader,

You may be surprised, but I actually have a very good idea who you are. Even though you prefer to hide behind the veil of anonymity, the internet makes uncovering such things very easy.

I actually replied your comment in the post below, but since I'm pretty sure you don't check back for replies, I've decided to reply here, as well. You see, I care about my readers and those who take the time to leave comments always stand out and I make it a point to remember their names (or usernames). Yes, that means I remember you, too. You did leave me some comments before asking about certain things like where I bought my shoes or suggesting perhaps I should list down where I buy my shoes. All of which I've repeatedly, patiently, replied (even though you seem not to read my answers) that I always list down where I got the stuff I'm wearing...unless I forgot or if it's from random shops/markets with no name. Ring any bells?

Any-jimmy-who, here's my reply to your comment:


*******************************************************************

Really? Have I been doing a lot of advertorials? I always put a clear Disclaimer if the items were gifted. If you don't see the disclaimer, you can safely assume I bought the products with my own money.

All reviews are written based on my own honest opinions regardless whether or not the products were sponsored.

Your statement "Ofcourse you will love them cause you are like marketting them!". Well, like, I find you rather presumptuous cause, like, I don't LOVE all the products I'm gifted for reviewing purposes. If you read through my older posts (just off the top of my head, I remember some GlossyBox products I wasn't too keen about), you'd find that I always genuinely state the products I like, the ones I find so-so and the ones I totally regret having.

Perhaps you are also confused with my own reviews (not sponsored) which I view as a way of sharing (like the last few masks posts, for example) with my readers on the products I've tried. I'm not sure when you started reading, but I actually did a survey during one of my giveaways and one of the many suggestions I received was to do more product reviews. So I thought, why not?

However, you're right on one point being that this blog started out as an everyday outfits blog. I do apologize about deviating, but life has been so different since I came back and I have other priorities now. I no longer have the time for consistent outfit posts. Yes, it's rubbish of me, but I do hope part of the reason you started reading this blog was to know more about me, as a person. To read about my everyday life (which is in fact, another highly voted suggestion from my readers).

If, however, you really can't be bothered about lil ol' me and just came for pretty clothes and things, I suggest you visit other much better fashion blogs out there :)

Lots of love,
Joey

Now how's that for amusing? Hehehe

"This is meant to be a clothes blog and not some god damn stupid things review!"
I absolutely LOVE being told what MY blog should be about #sarcasm

I'd like to state that I'm not in the least bit hurt or angry. I just found it very amusing how someone can be so heated up about my blog and make it sound as if I'm obligated to update it the way he/she likes haha

Jokes aside, she did bring up one very valid point in that I meant for this blog to be a personal style blog...when I first started it over a year ago. It's now become a jumble of things and I'm aware I've lost some readers who came purely for the fashion. But I'm okay with that. People are free to choose and if they want to read my blog, good, but if they decide to move on to other blogs, that's also fine with me.

I'd like to just notify everyone that work is a big part of my life now and I won't have time for outfit posts. Even if I do, they might be few and far between. I'll still be reading your blogs, though, cause that's still one of my favourite hobbies :)
