Even more intersting… I also read this on Teen Vogue yesterday :)

Let me see…so she had to drop out of school due to her time-consuming duties sketching one trench for gryphon and preparing for the crillon ball? And they must have told Jane Keltner there was a book deal (or else why would she have written about it) when it wasn’t even finalized/already fell through? These two (sea of shoes/mom) take themselves sooooo seriously it’s such a joke…even though I love the blog.

In bad times when anyone buys a pile of shoes, they would be lauded by the fashion houses/magazines, afterall the customer is the king! And everyone knows that! So what the mom/daughter duo are getting are the kind of attention any loyal customer would get! As far as the gluttonous spending goes, how else do people from broken families heal their wounds!! The unhappier you are, the stronger are the material crutches you require! Pity pity pity!!!

I like Jane’s blog, but I think dropping out of school (even if she still does online classes) is a little extreme. People come and go in fashion and she should still plan for the future.
All of these teen bloggers are not the average teens at all (which makes them special) but are bloggers like Jane someone for teens to look up to? Or are they really just privileged teens that are the exception in society? Just something to think about.

i kept hearing all this hype about her so i finally went ot her blog. and it was so boring! if i want to read about poor little rich girls flaunting their wealth i will stick to vogue. and i didn’t think her style was creative or even interesting to look at. really, i can’t believe the popularity of this girl..there is are many better blogs out there!
bring on the jealous hater comments..

i agree with JV, her face did look really weird.

Love/hate… ridiculous that a teenager gets to drop out of school and have so many expensive clothes and shoes… but most of the hate stems from the green-eyed monster hissing over someone getting to actually live such a dreamy life. And it’s less annoying because she really has a lot of fun with all her outfits… taste and decorum are secondary to interesting and fun. And there is a surprising lack of snobbery, despite all the designer name-dropping.

i would respect their blog more if it was called Conspicuous Consumption.
I laughed at her when she went on that toot about taking off the comments due to negative posts.. If you’re gonna have a blog, wear fur and thousand dollar shoes, have the balls to take the comments.

#16 you are naive to think that she has got “fame” for her style element!!Even if a donkey were dressed in the stuff she dresses herself in Vogue/fashion houses would jump and proclaim it to be the most stylish donkey and might even extend it an invite to attend fashion shows!!Its so obvious the mother/daughter duo have zilch talent!Which designer(which her mother proclaims herself to be) uses her daughter to get fame??That in itself shows how good a designer she is!!!Have you heard of “you pat my back, I pat yours”?Thats the relationship between her and the fashion houses.The same goes for Bryan Boy as well.You photograph yourself with a huge pile of Louis Vuitton bags and how can Marc Jacobs ignore you? A loyal customer that too!But to proclaim that Bryan Boy has hugh talent blah blah blah is moronic!!

#18, it just stuns me how a lot of people deal with fashion by leaving their brain securely locked in a vault! Jane was referred to by Vogue(whose job is to make people buy high end merchandise which they advertise in their glossies) and Chanel choose to dress her in their clothes, because that meant some free advertisement for them.Look at all the popular style blogs which Vogue and fashion houses embrace, the common denominator is that the person who runs the blog either photographs other consumers of high end brands or as in Jane’s case are themselves consumers of the same.As for she wearing a lot of thrifted stuff, show me just one post of hers where in she hasn’t worn a single item by a high end fashion house, if her clothes are “ebayed” then her shoes are Prada!So get the facts right before putting forth an argument!
I’m indifferent to her style, and by no means waste my breath hating it, as for challenging me to follow her footsteps and prove myself, well I have a happy life and treat a bag and shoe like a bag and shoe not as a passage to heaven and as a means to fill a vacuous life like these people and I don’t need to throw open my wardrobe to the zillions to prove myself!

everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, whether you like or don’t like jane’s style… but MOST (not all) of the negative comments i read on here seem to be rather petty. if you don’t find her style aesthetically pleasing, then fine- but hating someone because they have the means to buy an abundance of designer clothes and shoes is somewhat juvenile. i’m not saying that she deserves, or doesn’t deserve, the opportunities she has been given, but it seems like a lot of people are just firing out random claims (positive and negative) about her with no reasoning… in the same way that her being rich does not mean she has talent, her being rich does not mean she is talentless either.

#21, precisely. and #19, yeah, because chanel is just so desperate for publicity.

how amazing that a teenager blog can cause such a stir..admittedly – it seems controversial for a teenager to write a blog like that (i only just went and browsed through it). But just like #24 says it’s a teenager who has access to assets that cost a lot of strength to withstand their call..I can’t blame anyone enjoying fashion and if it’s presented to you as easily accessible and an everyday consumer good why would you question it and live in denial? I really hope that Jane is not only as pretty as she looks in the pics but intelligent enough to follow values that are worth following..everything else is really none of anyone’s business but her’s!
