Some people cannot abide to see a young, talented, gorgeous woman who knows what she wants and isn’t apologetic about it.

My only problem was how snobbishly she behaved with the reporter and the fact that her and her mother gang up on her sister about the fact that she does not like to go overboard with the amount of $ spends on clothes , shoes, etc. But then again the press does exaggerate for maximum juiciness in the gossip. Nonetheless I still like her blog and find her posts to be entertaining but…………………

Good for her. It is like this even with Hollywood celebrities, they get criticized for doing what they love, getting well paid, and getting gifts.
I also think of her blog as something like Vogue, I do not expect Vogue to start putting models in TJMaxx finds. Everyone has a niche. And believe me even frugal bloggers are trying to get paid.

Yes it was unfair to attack her like that, but at the level her blog is at now, you have to expect some backlash. Collaberating with designers and modelling in their campaigns, if they get critised – you get critised too.
And lets all be honest here. If you were offered to wear clothes that you liked of a high quality would you guys deny that- most bloggers I know wouldnt. For her I guess that high quality is what she’s been raised in and is what she’s used to! And good for her! If I could afford them kinda clothes on a daily basis, I think I probably would too! The highstreet is influenced by designer- she’s just that one step ahead of the majority
Big respect for her blog though, I do love some of the things she wears..

Love

Of course they do. And everyone does. That is the price you pay for sharing everything online. You are putting yourself and your life out there for it to be judged. You are just responding that its unfair because it is a judgment that doesn’t make you / her feel good.

Get over it! She’s 20, young, pretty, and living the life a lot of us wish we had at her age.

I have had the chance to meet Jane before and she’s not a snobby girl. She’s very caring, personable, and you can tell how much she loves her family.

She has never said anything negative about anyone on her blog EVER. She has never boasted about the money she has.

She is hosting a luxury brand style blog. I mean, what do you expect from her?

Geez, it’s not like she’s stealing from the poor, kicking your dog, or calling you fat. Get over it.

If you don’t like her blog or her attitude get over it.

I honestly think people are jealous of the fact she and her family can afford luxury items. There is nothing childish about 20. Honestly, what were you doing at 20? While I was 20 I was in college partying 5 nights a week, going to school three times a week, and had two jobs. We all lead very different lives, however, we shouldn’t bash her based on someone else’s opinion.

I feel the the negative articles written about her are doing nothing but increasing her popularity.

Jane is a cool girl with an eccentric sense of style that she intermixes with luxury and vintage. I say kudos to her and her family for making a successful business.

I read her blog before, not anymore. Why? Because it’s okay to post about clothes and beautiful shoes, i liked that but posting pictures of her luxurious apartment or her super cool trips/furnitures/anything else, it’s different. It’s too much, it made me uncomfortable and at the end, yes, some kind of jealous. Have you seen her apartment? While she’s only 20 yo?! I’m glad everything’s ok for her, really but… that’s too much. So i’m not saying she deserves what she gets but i have to say that i can understand why some people, even ‘big’ fashion websites are ‘against’ her. Because yes, she sometimes seems spoiled and ‘i’m rich and beautiful, look at me’ :/

I remember following Jane Aldridge – AND her mum’s blog (is she still doing one?) avidly, in my early blog days, when I was more steeped in the fashion blogging community. That’s when Jane was still taking comments. There was a really vicious period back then – I guess this was Spring 2009 – and her mom emailed me privately to thank me. Perhaps I’m from too spoiled a background, too – or maybe it’s just not in my nature to be jealous of anyone who is happy and successful simply because they are happy and successful – but I never got it about why people were so mean about her.

And then time went by, and it just occurred to me that I don’t really spend time on fashion blogs. But this caught my eye, and I’ve just been looking around on the NY Mag site, and the comments, and MAN OH MAN.. it’s making me feel like what I went thru with a few bitchy bloggers, and the ripple effect, is nothing compared to this. I tip my hat to Jane and her family for staying so grounded. And thank you, IFB, for bringing this to our attention and reminding me – in comparison – how much I have to be grateful for.

Sometimes, with regards the Tall Poppy Syndrome, it’s a relief to realise you’re just another teeny tiny poppy.

Sabina, you are right. I worked as a journalist throughout the nineties and profiled many interesting and/or controversial people and never did I allow any of them to vet my stories before they were filed—my editors would’ve killed the stories if I had. Also, Sheeler warned Aldridge that what has happened could happen, she willingly opened her doors to him. She has no cause for complaint.
