Tut tut, be nice!


I'm not trying to offend anyone but its true! I see so many of them. :frown:
I'm constantly changing my mind about River Island, always seem to love or hate everything in there
Jack Wills, mainly because of the little girls that go in and buy loads from there and just some of their stuff is hideous at the moment.

Also Links of London, just getting bored of them, and Ralph Lauren. Once you've got a few key pieces like polos and jumpers you don't really need anything else.

Superdry and Nike.
Jane Norman...
1. they basically cater for only the super thin
2. I think I just wanted the bag for p.e. so i could be like the rest of the females in my school... before that I was going around with a simpsons bag which is basically a bag for life... but with the simpsons on it. I miss that bag....

I used to buy something from Boohoo or ASOS nearly every week. Boohoo is pretty poor quality but Id still buy stuff if i had the money.

I get that all the time, takes the joy out of everything, the american apparel hoodie craze - now I see 8 year olds with the hoodies down to their knees, just wonder where they get the mone from for these more expensive clothes?

They were on PETAs 2010-11 cruelty free list :confused:

There's some things you need to know about PETA:

I remember this! Oh the days :^_^:
If you were anybody, you had one.


Wait are we refering to the actual bags that were on sale or the carrier bag because in our school the trend was to carry your stuff in a jane nor carrier bag :P
I used to wear tracksuits and stuff like that not cos I was a chav, but because I had no fashion sense lol.
So I now hate Umbro and Fila.
I still think Nike and Adidas can do good stuff
I dont like most Primark stuff now after thinking they were great before- they do some good staple products such as plain ts etc.

Both!
You carried your exercise books/lunch/etc in a bag you bought, and carried your PE kit in the plastic carrier bag it came with. :biggrin:

I think I did too! Although I think I chucked them :frown:
Topman. I stopped buying clothes from there because I'm not a hipster 14 year old who wears shirts of bands to which they've never actually heard of.

L'oreal and max factor....then i found on tey test on animals D:
Now i rarely use anything other than Urban decay, Elf, Mac and Revlon.


who cares, would you rather it be put on the market and potentially be harmful to humans? or tested on humans, human life is more important

haha neg rep? people are stupid and think animal life matters more than human, im not saying animal life is worthless but no where near as important as human.

Topshop. I used to like the plain t-shirts they sold, and they used to sell really nice knickers. Now it's all big hipster jumpers and weird floral prints. And overpriced for what it is.
