.... so Bella Freud should be very flattered with Topshop!
And Isabel Marant should be very flattered .... with Topshop!
And Adidas should be very flattered ..... Isabel Marant!
As they say, what goes around, comes around :o)

Last Note :
- One day that Bella Freud jumper will be mine. It's my birth year don't you know?
- That Isabel Marant has done a take on the Stan Smiths does tickle me. Time she got her own back.
Love the Bella Freud sweatshirt Sue.....go on you know you want to ;-)

Jane, I'd love to but it's a bit "ouch".
DeleteOh you are clever. Love this post it has made me smile! I want a Bella jumper too! X
ReplyDeleteI'd love the Bella jumper AnnMarie. I think I want the black version - the original.
DeleteLove it! I am secretly in love with the Christmas sweatshirt, I think it's hilarious.

I know - it makes me chuckle and you have to have a little bit of fun with clothes don't you? We can't be cool or chic all the time - it would be no fun!
Deletei'm always torn when I see stuff like this. Much as I'd like to always buy the original they're so often priced out of my range.. hahaha! Def get the sweater Sue ;) And get the green one for Grumps!

That's hilarious Steph - I can just imagine the Grumps and I both sat there in our complimenting jumpers having a sherry ;o)
DeleteGreat post Sue, it always amazes me how quickly something gets copied, but that's what fashion is all about I guess? Love the Bella sweatshirt I think you deserve it for such a clever little observe! Helen xx
ReplyDeleteI think I deserve it too! Hope Santa does as well.
DeleteOh my! The Bella Freud sweater is just divine.....just wish they did it in *1969* ;0) I'm not sure.....but I think I prefer the Topshop version of the Marant sweater and I would definitely choose the original Stan's over the Marant trainers.....but I don't blame her one jot for having a go!! xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes - you have a few months on me ... but not many! And I'm also very happy with my Stans - I need to give them a rest!
DeleteYou are so observant, am majorly impressed! x
ReplyDeleteNo ... I spend too much time browsing online ;o)
DeleteI notice these things too, but I didn't think of making a post about them. Snap.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, trainers....I'd rather buy Adidas anyway. But the topshop sweater is well inferior compared to Bella Freud one. I love that one.
I adore the Bella Freud one - I had a look through the colour range and I have to say that even if I could afford one - what colour to actually buy? Black? Navy? Red? Decisions, decisions. Best that I can't afford one and then that it's one less thing to concern myself about.
DeleteGood connection Sue, I did see that sweater in topshop and thought it was a bit random but now it makes sense. I think you should get that 1970 sweater, I would love the Ginsberg is God one....maybe one day eh? Maybe we will be rocking them in our 70s ;-) xxxxx
ReplyDeleteIt will probably take me till I'm 70 before I can afford one Frances ... by which time I can just knock the "19" bit off the front.
DeleteThat's hilarious - how perceptive are you?!
ReplyDeleteIt's just another version of mint vs skinted isn't it really :o)
DeleteGosh that's a good line up - and you HAVE to have that 1970 sweater - I was 1962 - wish she had one of those
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I read somewhere that Bella Freud (I could be making this up) only put 1970 on the jumper because she liked the way it looked rather than because it had any particular significance. It's not her birth year for a fact. But I think we should just go and look in to getting our own jumpers made up and embroidered with our birth years. Probably much cheaper.
Deleteoooh good copies! I love the 1970 jumper - go on, buy it!
ReplyDeleteHave you got a spare £270 you can lend me ;o)
