Det er litt rart det her med blogging… uansett hva slags blogg man velger å skrive, så vil et ansiktløst publikum bombardere den med all slags dritt. Jeg vet ikke om det er fordi folk er uvitende, genuint uhyggelige eller lider av det syndromet som er ganske så utbredt i Dagbladets kommentarfelt, men det er ikke så veldig festlig for meg å lese all den hatske dritten som folk ikke klarer å holde for seg selv. Nå har jeg akkurat slettet ett tonn med fæle kommentarer – og jeg har ikke en gang postet et bilde av meg selv.. lurer på hva folk ville ha funnet på å kommentere, da. En av grunnene til at jeg startet å blogge igjen er fordi jeg fant en overfladisk glede i å, ja, hehe, å blogge. Men de siste to ukene har jeg gruet meg til å blogge fordi jeg vet ikke om jeg takler mer dritt – men på en annen side vil jeg jo blogge. Litt av et paradoks det der.. Å stenge kommentarfeltet er ikke aktuelt, jeg mottar også ekle meldinger gjennom andre sosiale kanaler.. derfor lurer jeg litt på om jeg skal blogge på morsmålet mitt i stedet for engelsk, fordi mine norske besøkere har vært overraskende snille (til tross for at jantelov-mentaliteten rår i landet), minus et par teite, sarkastiske kommentarer (men sarkasme liker vi!). Er jeg naiv nå?
En liten digresjon: Jeg har kjøpt meg et par sko som jeg har hatt i tankene siden 2008, og de utgjør mitt syvende kjøp i år. Jeg synes det er forferdelig mye med tanke på at vi kun er i april. Jeg får håpe på noen shoppefrie måneder snart. Takk og lov for at det er ferie. I morgen venter en ny utrenskningsaksjon – skal ta hånd om søppelet av magasiner og de resterende plaggene i garderoben min som ikke funker. Kanskje jeg må vinke buh-bye til et par IM-plagg.
Og lol, hjernen min tenker visst på engelsk nå. Måtte slå opp så mange ord på engelsk fordi jeg ikke husket det norske ordet. Jaja, jeg får vel bare gruble over språk-spørsmålet i påsken. Kanskje jeg skal blogge på vietnamesisk (jeg har jo allerede blogget på engelsk, fransk og norsk før), lol!? Let me know hvis dere norske lesere har noen formeninger om mitt lille språk-dilemma. (Jeg aner forøvrig ikke hvorfor jeg har valgt å bruke et koselig te-bilde til dette innlegget… kanskje jeg bare liker å romantisere alt i livet. Jeg burde bli en ekspresjonist..).
Translation: ooh.. Norwegian only!
Jeg synes du burde fortsette på norsk, det virket litt mer "naturlig", synes jeg. Ikke at de engelske innleggene er unaturlig, men du skjønner (kanskje) hva jeg mener?
Bloggen din er fantastisk uansett <3
:( Cannot…understand!
Benedicte: Haha, jeg føler meg noe teit når jeg skriver på norsk.. jeg vet ikke hvorfor. haha
Må bare sige at dette er min favoritblog, engelsk eller ej. Tak fordi du blogger, det er en fornøjelse.
I cannot, cannot understand why this blog of all blogs seems to encourage such an outpouring of nastiness. It really just baffles me. I generally try and stick to the mantra that if I don't have anything positive, or at least constructive, to say, then I'll just say nothing at all. But here I'll break my own rule for a second: people are such absolute, inexcusable idiots it makes me sick!!Anyways, I pasted this into Google translate to read it and it was the clearest translation I've ever seen–either Google has gotten smarter or your Norwegian is extremely precise! As long as I can get the gist of the text I'm happy, but regardless, you should blog in whatever language you like. I'll still muddle right along with you.
Du, flotte deg, ikke bry deg om de kommentarene. Det er dessverre slik at en god del mennesker får det bedre med seg selv med å være usaklige og negative (dog jeg forstår ikke hvordan det kan føles noe bra). Jeg kommer til å savne bloggen din hvis du gir deg igjen. Blogg på hvilket språk du vil, men bli ;) Du er rå!
I clearly can't speak or understand Norwegian, but if this has something to do with nasty people on the internet, remember that if people love you, people will inevitably hate you as well. Both are much better than being boring.The fact that they take the time to leave inconsequential little comments for you mean that they are reacting to you, which means you are a good blogger.Or perhaps it's like in kindergarten, when you make fun of the boy you like because he doesn't show signs of liking you. Who knows?Relax, and please write in English, because I can't understand Norwegian.
For min del kan du gjerne blogge på norsk, men kjære deg! Du må ikkje bry deg om kommentarane…Uansett kor vanskele det kan ve, lov meg det! :)
Dear fleurette, I was thrilled to see a new post on your blog, then a bit confused to find it only in Norwegian. Google translate does really a good job, so I could finally figure out what you were saying. Please don't be upset about all these nasty comments you received, the anonymity of the web seems to bring out the worst in many people. But most of your readers really enjoy your blog and are looking forward to every single post.Sincerely, Marie (from Germany)
Hehe, det er dritt kult du har valgt å skrive innlegget ditt på norsk, for jeg syntes engelsken din er helt fantastisk god! Jeg blir så imponert over at du er faktisk er norsk, og ikke en engelskmann.! :)
Takk for kommentarer.. det er en fryd for øynene å lese noe som er hyggelig, det er jo det blogging skal være, men det har dessverre blitt et mobbearena huff og huff. Hvorfor folk velger å bruke tid på å spre uhygge i andres kommentarfelt har jeg aldri skjønt meg på (men konstruktive kommentarer er noe helt annet!). Thanks for the comments. Just wanted to clarify that I didn't post this so as to get comforting comments (I know someone out there will make a nasty comment on it soon.. it's just a matter of time) but merely because I wonder if it would make a change if I switched language.. I just want to blog and document my wardrobe building process and post inspiration that I can always look back at regardless of the language. However, all the accumulative nastiness is off-putting and I know I'm feeding the trolls right now but I cannot not care, haha.- 0000: But you're the smartest person ever!!- Ringo, have a banana: Me neither.. I always make sure that I don't write anything that provokes nastiness, so I don't get it either.. Norwegian is somewhat similar to English in terms of grammar so google translate is brilliant!- Ladybird: Takk, du er for snill. Prøver å ikke bry meg, men det er vanskeligere enn man tror, hvert fall når det tikker inn flere ekle kommentarer daglig (hva har jeg gjort galt??? haha). – G: I don't mind if there are people out there who don't like me, but I'd like them to keep their opinions to themselves instead of sending me anonymous e-mails or comments with the purpose to insult me.. in the long run I start caring :p- monica: Prøver, prøver, men det er ikke lett. – Marie: You're far too kind! – LUU H.: Hihi, takk skal du ha. Jeg er egentlig en norsk-vietnameser.
I too, turned to Google Translate as I could not miss one of your posts! Perhaps you should write in Norwegian, that way hopefully only people who enjoy your writing will bother to get a translation? I'd keep reading through a translator, your blog is unique.
If you stop writing in English, I'll start sending you nasty emails and comments. Hug xx
please don't take these bad comments in account and keep on blogging also in english, this is so inspiring and pleasant to read you :)Nola, a french reader
Ikke gi deg Fleurette, bloggen din er en av de bedre jeg leser – både blant norske og engelske. Jeg tror det ville vært synd for de engelskspråklige leserne dine om du hadde byttet over til norsk, siden tekstene dine er så gode. Google Translate vil aldri ikke kunne yte dem rettferdighet :)
I still don't understand why you're blog would attract so much hate in particular. There are so many fashion blogs out there people! But what is there to complain about? Your blog is so lovely… This sounds terribly selfish but, please don't stop blogging!
Finally turned to google translate to read the content of your post. I think the best thing you can do may be to moderate comments on blogger and turn off your formspring. You may also consider blogging certain IP addresses that post unpleasant comments. Certainly it will limit your ability to connect with your readers, but it won't make you completely unreachable. You will still have e-mail! As for the language, I think you should keep blogging in English since your blog is so verbal. It would be really difficult for you to reach your usual audience if you wrote in Norwegian since most people would have no idea about what you're writing about from your photos alone.
:(I really like your blog…I hope you don't stop writing because of some unproductive, resentful haters, people without the ability to inspire anything but bad feelings.xoxo from Chile!
I'm not sure what I would have done if Google translate didn't exist! I think some people take blogging too seriously, or they are jealous or they are trolls hence the nasty comments. I guess it's one of the things you have to deal with when you have a wide readership. Still it doesn't lessen the hurt you must feel when you get inundated with those types of comments. :(But I also think (and I might get flamed for saying this!), girls are nasty, I know this is a generalisation but I think we all have friends (I probably do it too) that bitch about each other in real life. And the nastiness increases on the internet because they can hide behind the cloak of anonymity.I'm not really sure what the point of this comment was, a comment on blogging and people? I don't know. What I do know is that tea always helps to lift my mood!
Ugh, those nasty comments are everywhere; I feel as if I can't read any blog without at least one negative reply. It's become unfortunately common. if you sit and think about it- what motivates people to be nasty in general? I believe they are unhappy with themselves and therefore lash out at someone else in attempts to make themselves feel better (which I guarantee never works). Those comments are written to get a rise out of you. They want you to notice them, even if it is steeped in a negative response. Insecurities are rooted in nasty comments (I believe 90% of social problems come from insecurities) and, of course, lack of maturity. If a person who is comfortable with themselves and is not prone to juvenile behavior didn't like your blog, they would just not read it! I'm sure I'm just a redundant comment here but I want you to know that I enjoy your blog- your perspective is refreshing and mature. Those people will probably not stop the negative comments but don't let that dissuade you from contributing to something that you enjoy! Nasty people never go away, and the internet makes it easier for them to make those comments in a cowardly way. p.s. an expressionist would never embrace minimalism as you do – maybe you could somehow combine the two and create a new genre! :)
I love your blog. Write in whatever language makes you comfortable. Your posts and approach to dressing are like a voice of reason that I've come to rely on in my own silly little way. I read so many style blogs and get swept up in Wanting and Needing. Your voice shakes me out of that mindset and reminds me to take only what is necessary. If writing in Norwegian allows you to say what you want to say then do it. Because I feel like what you have to say is rare and important.
Ugh, this is dreadful. I hope you don't stop blogging. I love to read your posts. On that point, you're a terrible tease for mentioning that you just bought a new pair of shoes and then giving no details!
I think it is ridiculous that people should come on here and post negative things– I see no point in all of that. If you feel you'll be received better by writing in another language, go right ahead. As you said yourself however, isn't this blog more for you? So my advice would be to just ignore the naive and sad people who are hateful or idiotic. No matter the language, Google Translate will allow me to keep reading your amazing blog!
I love love love love your blog. I had to use Google Translate for this whole post because I don't understand a word of Norwegian, but I think I get the gist of it now.Don't ever stop blogging! I just stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago, and like I said, I love it. I actually have instilled a new way of thinking towards fashion and shopping, thanks to you.And yes, deeds on the new shoes please.Have a nice day!
I looked at a translator to understand the gist of this. I agree with the others that say with popularity comes the mean people too. It sucks, and they are not sensible people…because a sensible person would not put so much energy into something they dislike. Another blog I like "The Essential Man" does a fun but good post likening a blog to a "House Party" and you wouldn't want negative people that are killing the mood at your party, because eventually these people chase off the good people. So you don't have to publish any comments that you think are demeaning, nasty, or just plain rude. Besides, it is more a reflection of the misery that is going on in their life.Anywho, hope you are well, and that your new shoes work out!
fleurette – I'm so sorry that you have been receiving so many negative comments on your blog, emails, etc. Of course it's understandable that it's difficult to ignore when you are being personally attacked, and I can see why you are looking to find ways to continue blogging while somehow discouraging the trolls. Would not allowing anonymous comments work for you? I realize that you get some very nice comments from anonymous readers, but it's not that difficult to sign up for a blogger account (and not have a blog), if your readers really want to leave comments. In any case, whatever you decide, I hope that you are able to find that balance! Please keep blogging, it's been so great chatting and exchanging ideas with you over the internet :)
Oh dear me. I'm sorry to read that you're getting such nasty comments. Remember these commenters are cowards, among other things of which I won't speak! The internet is a buffer of sorts. By that I mean it's not face to face. Tt's easier and safer for nasty people to act out against a stranger when the internet is there to hide behind. I truly doubt they would say such things to you in person. It's like when you're driving and someone, out of the blue, is aggressive, rude, belligerent, etc. Would that happen if you were both pedestrians? Unlikely.At any rate, this type of behavior can't be tolerated. I suppose my solution would be to either ignore the comments (yes, it's hard not to eventually be affected; we have feelings! and they can be hurt by mere strangers) or to stop comments for a while. You may recall Jane at Sea of Shoes: she disabled her comments indefinitely and blogged later than she was much happier as a result. I know you want the comments but maybe it's worth considering for a while? You seem to have a lot on your plate with studies and such. Probably the last thing you need is another nasty comment to distract you from what's actually important. Why are people perpetuating negativity by leaving ugly comments? Jealousy. Insecurity. Anger issues. Fear (the basis of all problems of the ego/negative behaviors). That said, there's simply no excuse for rude behavior. It's bad form and very bad karma.One more thing: Chin up, Fleurette! Your blog is awesome. – Stephanie
Fleurette,I'm so sorry to hear that negativity is rearing its' ugly head again. Your blog should be your happy place to express your ideas. I'll never understand the need to leave mean malicious comments on someone's blog. Honestly there must be a lot of people who are miserable with their own lives. You should blog in any language you like and write about whatever you want to write about. But please keep blogging. Your blog has been such an inspiration to so many people and a great dialogue. You can't let the haters get to you (easier said than done, I know).I love the image of the tea. It's warm and comforting (smile).
hey fleurette! wow, i just used google translate, and even though it's translated, it felt like i was just reading your usual english posts! Your Norwegian is amazingly precise! anyway, please don't let those kinds of nasty comments bring you down! blog with freedom and peace! (hahaha, that sounded strange…), I enjoy reading your posts and always look forward them! You and I have a kind of the same approach to minimalism and aesthetics… :) I can't wait to hear more from you and the shoe you've purchased! take care!!! :)))
Blogga på vilket språk du vill snälla bara du fortsätter! Din blogg är verkligen en av de främsta anledningarna att jag nu helt ändrat inställning till min garderob och till shoppande. Sedan oktober har jag bara köpt tre plagg och jag älskar dem alla! Hemskt tråkigt att höra att du får negativa kommentarer, jag ser verkligen ingen anledning till dessa och jag hoppas du kan försöka skaka av dig dem, vi är otroligt många som inspireras av dig och gillar det du gör! TACK!
Hateful comment are never about you, as 'you', they're always about the one who posted it. So, don't take it personal! Easier said than done, yes, I know. But maybe repeating mantra – it's not about me, it's about them, it's not about me – helps?! It'd be so devastating if you stopped blogging! Of course, it's your choice and if/when you decide that's the only way you can keep on blogging, it'll be OK as there's Google Translator. ;)
I can't help but add my comment to this long list of comments I'm sure you didn't expect.If I were you I wouldn't even mention it because then it's like giving credit to bad comments.I would concentrate to the good ,gentle,kind comments because that's the kind of people I want to relate to. There is an english saying (that although my mother lanquage is greek) I strongly relate.It goes ..don't throw away the baby together with the dirty water. So don't stop blogging altogether because you got bad comments and blog in norvigian if you like.Google translator is on our side plus it's so weird we still communicate even if we write in different lanquages!!!
din blog er simpelthen så fin! jeg ville være ked af hvis du stoppede. lad være at tage dig af så ligegyldige kommentarer, som andre også skriver er det fra folk der ikke ved bedre. jeg nyder din blog, engelsk eller norsk er mig ligegyldigt, det er interessant uanset hvad! hilsen Julie, en dansk læser
Du har en fantastisk och unik blogg och det vore oerhört synd och tråkigt om du slutade blogga!
Dette er en av de mest seriøse bloggene jeg noen gang har vært borti. Jeg håper du fortsetter, uansett hvilket språk du velger å skrive på. Du er en stor inspirasjon. Jeg har lagt om innkjøpsvanene mine takket være deg! Jeg forstår ikke hvorfor du skal få så mye dritt slengt etter deg. De som skriver det er nok de samme som kommenterer på dagbladet.no, hehe ;-)Håper du får ei flott påske!Hilsen trofast leser.
Hi, I love your blog and will keep reading regardless of which language you write in (thanks to google translate) so please keep blogging :)
there was defintely loads of swear words in your article but I can understand how irrelevant, vulgar and offensive comments can make you angry. But somehow you can guess they're jealous in a way, I think. I would be really sad if your blog left into an only norwegian version despite the help of google translat because I used to really like the way you were writing here, you have a good style. And your blog is very neat, pure, clear I mean perfect most of the time and Bad translation just break the thing. En tout cas, bonne continuation Fleurette, j'espère que ça malgrè tout :)
I love your blog and I think the hateful commenters are very foolish…who in their right mind takes out time to read a blog they don't even like? And then post nasty comments on it?! It's idiotic t say the least. I hope you moderate your comments and return to blogging in English. I love reading your blog.
Fleurette, whatever language you blog in, you will always have legions of devoted fans hovering over the 'translate' button.
Gratulerer med en flott blogg! Din er en av få som overlevde min opprydding i "Favoritter" og jeg syns det ville være synd om negative kommentarer får deg til å miste lysten til og gleden over å blogge. Må innrømme at jeg har stort sett bare lest dine innlegg og ikke kommentarene så jeg har ikke fått med at det er noen som prøver å ødelegge.Jeg håper at både interessen for mote og klær og bloggelysten er noe du fortsetter å ha stor glede av og at du ikke slutter med bloggingen din.
Oh no ! Fleurette you should'nt take hatters into account !Even if they can be very nasty ( i know it's EASIER to say that than do it ).Like Ginta said :"Hateful comment are never about you, as 'you', they're always about the one who posted it. So, don't take it personal! ".you're above all that shit Fleurette !I'm a french reader ( sorry for my bad english btw ) end i know it's a bit selfish but PLEASE continue to write in english ! Your blog is not like the others, it's not just about photo ( of item/looks ) it's more texte , intelligent , more about the way to think this garment , how to consume, it's more about reflection ! And in norvegion even with traduction i'm not sure that will be the same ( and i will understand:( )I don't know if what i said make sence but i just want to say i know your blog since one month and a half , i've browsed your archieves, and i've had a big crush on your blog ! and no one blogs is like yours.You tempt me to think about my clothes and stop to buy things at zara or h&m that i will never put on again ! You tempt me to be more reasonnable !In less one week i go to purchase my first isabel marant item that i want since so much time and it's thanks to you !
Just look at all this support Fleurette! Your blog is about you not about them. If anything the fact that they have nothing nice to contribute is proof that they haven't been able to make their voices heard. That is until now, so don't give them the satisfaction of using your blog as a platform. It's yours. Don't blog about them, blog about you. I don't care about them. I care about you.
Kjære deg, jeg blir faktisk opprørt på dine vegne over det du forteller her! Jeg forstår godt at du tenker som du gjør, og det er nok vanskelig å ikke ta den typen kommentarer inn over seg. Jeg kan virkelig ikke fatte og begripe hva som feiler folk når de holder på på den måten! Antakelig er de smålige, misunnelige mennesker som ikke makter å glede seg over andres framgang og ikke har noe meningsfylt å bruke tiden sin på. Det er jo flere som har kommet med en del tips til ting du kan prøve, f.eks. å ikke tillate anonyme kommentarer, det kan kanskje være noe å vurdere? Jeg tror faktisk at det vil kunne skremme bort en del av disse bloggtrollene, for er det en ting som er sikkert, så er det at de er feige. Uansett hva du bestemmer deg for å gjøre, så må du ikke slutte å blogge, det er svært få blogger som holder samme kvalitet som din og jeg gleder meg alltid til å lese innleggene dine! Jeg har hentet mye inspirasjon fra bloggen din, og håper virkelig at jeg fortsatt skal kunne ha den muligheten. Stå på!
Forstår godt at det er vanskelig å ikke la slike kommentarer gå innpå deg, men jeg håper virkelig ikke du slutter å blogge! Du har fått meg til å tenke over innkjøpene mine, og lommeboka og selvfølelsen min er deg evig takknemlig! Innleggene dine er alltid interessante, og bloggen er et friskt pust blant andre motebloggere. Jeg _leser_ bloggen din, andre blogger scroller jeg bare fort gjennom. Hva med å ha noen som modererer bort de ekle kommentarene? Eventuelt gjøre slik som en annen nevnte over her, og ikke tillate anonyme kommentarer?
I don't have much to add, seeing as many comments above pretty much express how I feel. I can only imagine what it feels like to be attacked at such a personal level – but I like Pret a Porter's example of a house party. It's inevitable that as you gain a following (and that should encourage you!) that you will also attract criticism. Sometimes it's actually a refreshing view pt and other times it's just malice. I think that's life for you. It's definitely up to you what you wish to do, but I think you can't avoid the negativity in life no matter the platform. In any case, whatever you choose to do, I think lots of us wish you the best, and support the decision. (I'd prefer it if you keep blogging though. Just sayin'. :))
My boyfriend says that the more you're good at what you're doing and the more you become known, the more you get hate. It's envy. I do believe he's right.So keep blogging, Fleurette because you're great. Put moderation on your comment section to leave hate out (because it's really gratuitous and we surely don't need to read it and make you feel even more humiliated). Use whatever language makes you feel happy and free to express yourself. I personally blog in two languages (English and Italian) but I don't know if I would suggest it to you: it's loads of work. If in the end you choose Norwegian, good for you. I'll still read you: Google translate exists for a purpose so let's use it ;-)a kiss, Cheer upAl-The Red Dot-
Please continue blogging and turn off the comments section. It will be a shame not to share ideas but at least we can still hear you. :)
Look, I can completely understand why so many people hate you and your blog: it's jealousy. Let's be honest, most fashion-related blogs are so inspired and hosted by bored tweens with way too much allowance. They spend fortunes on clothes and post 24/7. Your blog, on the other hand, is a beautiful piece of art. The search for perfection, in a wardrobe, in music taste, and hell, even in your amazing blog layout.I hope you won't stop blogging, just do it in any language you want, and we, as your trusted readers, will take the time to google translate it. Just because you and your blog are amazing.So please keep writing and posting and save us from the mediocrity of socialite-esque blogs.♥
ps: i meant:most fashion-related blogs are so UNinspired
Oh golly, I can't thank you enough for the endless stream of warmhearted words. I'm TRULY taken aback by your support, it's unbelievable. I didn't post this so the comments could become a love fest, haha, but you're far too kind! Thanks for all your advice. However, seeing that the majority of commenters here are international (I wrote this post in Norwegian and addressed the Norwegians) really makes me reconsider and you do have a encouraging effect on me. Sometimes all the negativity makes me forget about the positive aspects of something, and I'm surprised that I haven't received a nasty comment yet. Nevertheless, the comment system on blogspot is very poor, so if I disable anonymous comments, then it won't be possible for other bloggers to comment (such as 0000, tumblr-people, etc). I don't want to disable the comments as I like being able to share ideas with you and read your opinions. It's like a great community :) But I think I'm going to turn off my formspring for awhile, though I like being reachable.. anyway, there are people who create anonymous e-mail accounts and send me nasty e-mails as well (rather low life), and there's nothing I can do to prevent nasty e-mails (and not having an e-mail is not an option).. oh well, at least I have something to ponder on during Easter. – Robyn: That's a good idea!- Joy: Me neither.. it's such a puzzle, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.- Mary: You are completely right! Though I wish more people could follow the golden rule: "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself". – Pret a Porter P: I remember you posted a link to the house party article and I really loved it, but I've totally forgotten about it.. so thank you for the reminder. Yes, my blog is my party and I don't want any party poopers here!! ^_^ let's kick them out.- S: You're right, I do get lovely anonymous comments as well. I just wish blogspot could kill anonymous but keep Name/URL. Regardless of my decision, we'll keep in touch.. you don't know how helpful and pleasant it's been to chat with you, which I really really appreciate! And somehow, I consider you as my cyber mommy, haha!
- style odyssey: Thank you for the support. Oh it's true, all the nastiness has distracted me in terms of studying. Yes I remember that Jane disabled all the comments. That might be a good idea as well, though I'd like to be reachable + have a conversation with my readers. Something to ponder over though!- Lindsay K: Thank you dear! I just realized that I haven't replied to your last e-mail due to the sudden avalanche of nasty e-mails in my inbox as of late.. they upset me and ultimately I just postpone answering e-mails. So, I'll answer you soon ^^- Eva: Tusen takk! Jeg må si, wow, du har vært flink, kun 3 plagg :-O – Ginta: Maybe, maybe! I'll try that soon!- Maude: haha, no I didn't swear in my post apart from using the word "dritt" which means shit/crap! Merci beaucoup pour ton soutien!- MyFavouriteThings: Jeg har veldig lyst til å ikke tillate anonyme kommentarer, men å slå av anonyme kommentarer begrenser kommentar-mulighetene. Tusen takk for støtten og alle de snille kommentarene du alltid skriver. Hvis man ikke har noe fint å si, så la være å si noe i det hele tatt. Jeg orker i alle fall ikke å opprette anonyme e-mailadresser og rakke ned på bloggere jeg ikke liker. Lavmål, med andre ord.- Benedicte S: Hmm, det kan være en ide.. skulle gjerne hatt en robot som kunne filtrere vekk onde kommentarer, hihi!- lin: I agree with you. I don't mind getting constructive criticism, as you said it might be a refreshing view – that's why I like have a comments section so I can read other people's perspectives as they often change my mind! but there's a difference between constructive criticism and malicious criticism. However, who are they to write such things? – Al: I believe he's right too.. my parents tell me that all the time! Thanks for the kindness :)
Jeg blir glad hvis du blogger på norsk. Jeg synes selvsagt det høres mye mer naturlig og personlig ut. Mange argumenterer for at man når et større publikum ved å blogge på engelsk, og det er jo sant, men så kan jeg ikke akkurat si at jeg har kapret alle blogglesere i Norge heller, lol. Jeg vurderer fortsatt for og i mot om jeg skal starte å blogge bare på norsk, for jeg klarer ikke helt å slå meg til ro med mine engelske innlegg. Føler at det egentlig gjør meg veldig uinspirert og lei av blogging, noe jeg egentlig ikke er.
Hey! I just wanted to say that you can block nasty e-mails or send those e-mails into another gmail folder so you can't see them. I also wanted to say that I don't think I comment as anonymous! I comment with the name/url function. I don't know if that means you can turn off anonymous and people can still write in their names even if they don't have blogger or what. I also have a blogger account so I can still comment regardless!
- Ane: Selvfølgelig, det er jo nok fordi norsk er morsmålet. Jeg skjønner hva du mener med at du ikke greier å slå deg til ro med dine engelske innlegg, men du må bare blogge på det språket som du trives best med. Og ikke blogg fordi du ønsker mange lesere, fordi da blir du fort umotivert om du ikke ser lesertallet øke. Haha!- 0000: No, you don't comment as anonymous, but if I disable anonymous comments, blogspot also disable Name/URL :-(
Please keep doing what you love! Don't let other discourage you. I try to remind myself that if people are reacting negatively to something exciting I am doing with my life, then I must be doing something right. In other words, If people hate you, you must be FABULOUS.I think you are fabulous, keep up the good work!xo, Brittan
Blog in English!!! We love you here is Los Angeles, California. Although, I guess I could handle using google translate :) And don't listen to people who leave rude comments. They clearly have nothing better to do with their lives
I'm American, and this is my favorite blog! Please don't stop what you do, I learn so much from this source.
Synast det er rart at folk har eit slikt behov for å vere ondskapsfulle mot deg, dei har jo absolutt ingen grunn til det. Likar bloggen din uansett kva språk du skriv på, men eg har personleg fått meir og meir sansen for bloggar på norsk, dei er jo litt meir unike på ein måte. :)
Hey søde du!Forstår slet ikke, at du modtager grimme kommentarer. Du har så fin stil, ejer smukke ting og skriver virkelig flot. Bliv ved med at blogge:) Og se bort fra de misundelige mennesker, der har grimme sjæle.
I very rarely comment on any blog as I don't often feel that I have anything constructive or interesting to add. On this occasion however i felt I should make an exception, even if I only echo what has already been said. It isn't worth worrying about other people – Ignore the negativity and spitefulness (and it may be worth turning off your Formspring – I am always surprised about its personal nature anyway). But please don't feel you need to stop blogging. Generally people wouldn't waste their time reading your blog if they didn't want to hear what you had to say. I for one am always interested to read your posts, even though I don't always agree with what you have to say, and I think you have an amazingly clear voice for one so young. Keep it up. x
Hello Fleurette, I follow both your blog and formspring, and I'm often appalled by the negativity on fs (if the ones you answer are the nicer ones, I can't imagine how horrible the others are). If blogging in Norwegian helps, please do (as many others have said, Google Translate does a lovely job in translation). If you're still getting hate comments in English, then the angry people who "hate" your blog spend far too much time on it (and translating Norwegian posts into English). Anyway, I really enjoy your replies on formspring, and hope you don't feel constricted as to how freely you can post on the main blog! Looking forward to more from you.
Hi there! I discovered your blog a couple of days ago via capture the castle blog, and now that I've read all of your posts I must say you are one inspiring girl! My age box is 25-29 so I'm a bit older than you and I feel bad I wasn't wise and cool like you when I was 19. I recently started to purify my wardrobe and your blog only encouraged me to continue. I have to admit that while reading your posts I felt like I was sitting in front of a fireplace wrapped in a cashmere sweater – there is something very soothing and comfortable about your blog. Please, continue writing in English and keep up the good work. All the best wishes from Croatia, Mirjana
I will happily deal with Google Translate for your blog if you feel more comfortable writing in Norwegian. I'm sorry you're getting nasty comments– but if it makes you feel any better, perhaps that means that you are becoming more well-known and widely read?
I can't believe that a blog like yours can get nasty comments, it's just unreal. You are very inspirational, and your posts are so well written and carefully thought out. Fortsätt blogga, det skulle bli tomt utan dig! /Sara
"cyber mom" lol, that's both hilarious and sweet at the same time! I always wanted a daughter :) It makes me seriously upset that you are getting racist comments as well as emails from fake addresses … seriously, these are on another level entirely. But it's very clear how much positive support you have from your readers, so hopefully that cheers you up! I also forgot to comment on your 7 acquisitions thing … I wouldn't worry about it seeming like a lot of items. As long as you are sticking with your budget, it seems like everything you bought so far have been very carefully thought out and planned. So maybe you will buy fever things in the fall or make up the purchases by selling some things, it'll work out!
For my own selfish reasons I hope you'll return to blogging in English, but by all means do what you need to do, I will gladly google translate if need be. Maybe the twisted people who need to act out their insecurities will lose interest if they have to work a little harder to read your blog. I know it is natural to be shaken by unwarranted, unprovoked negativity, because it offends the sensibilities of those of us who are good people. There are so many challenges inherent with the technology that allows mass communication and with the good brings the bad. I just wish people would take a stand against the cowards who attack with their bravado that would be nonexistant in a real life situation – and IGNORE – refuse to give power to these anonymous pathetic souls. I love the quotation "More to be pitied than scorned…" YOU have the choice to react and feed them, or starve them. Love your unique perspective and classy thought-provoking posts and I hope you'll continue blogging.
The best is really to ignore those kind of people.
For meg er det en fryd å lese dine engelske innlegg, i og med at du har et sykt bra ordforråd og en helt fantastisk evne til å sette sammen nydelige setninger med dype meninger. Men, ser absolutt dilemmaet! Whatever you do, ikke stopp skrivingen, om det så er på norsk/engelsk/etc.!-M
Enig med -M, og håper at du fortsetter å blogge på engelsk. Evnt. norsk. Er innom bloggen din ukentlig, og har tom. klart å kutte ned på shoppingen takket være den ;-)
Jeg håper virkelig du ikke slutter å blogge, jeg har lest bloggen din en stund nå og jeg blir mer glad i den for hvert nye innlegg du skriver. Likevel har jeg ikke tidligere lagt inn noen kommentar, men jeg lover å gjøre det i fremtiden ;)Du må huske at veldig mange som setter stor pris på deg og bloggen din, selvom vi ikke alltid er like flinke til å minne deg på det. Jeg håper du fortsetter å inspirere oss gjennom bloggen din! Takk :)
Jeg liker bloggen din utrolig godt – og liker stemmen du ytrer gjennom den, og det fokuset du har: jakten på/veien til den perfekte garderoben for deg selv. Å skrive på norsk vil kanskje minke antallet negative kommentarer, men det vil også føre til at ikke like mange mennesker kan følge bloggen din. Ikke det at antallet followers er drivkraften bak bloggingen din – langt i fra – men du har så mye å si, og så mye inspirasjon og gi – at jeg håper for alles skyld du fortsetter på engelsk. Synes det er kjempesynd du får slike negative kommentarer, jeg kan ikke skjønne hvorfor – jeg sluker alt du skriver og fotograferer, og hører daglig på noen av playlistene dine – what is there not to like? xx Alice /http://dreamsbyalice.blogspot.com
In my life, I have had a lot of women talk shit about me. It used to bother me a lot, because, I mean, who the hell wants people talking shit about you? But here's the thing: if you weren't interesting/talented/beautiful/unique, no one would have anything to say, good or bad. So, take it as a compliment that the losers are taking the time to read your blog and then review it. And, the other thing, if you don't respect a person, why respect their opinion? Please please please ignore the loser posts (they win when you give them the time of day on your blog or in your head–they are trying to get a rise out of you!) and grace us who LOVE your blog with some new lovely posts. I've been waiting for you!xoxox
I just wanted to say I'm so sorry that you've been having nasty comments. I had a series of them as well last summer and it just plain stinks and there's no easy way around it because you feel awful having to moderate comments (which I now do though I don't like that I have to). On top of that it's really emotionally hurtful – in someways it's like middle school all over again! People just need to chill out and realize it's just the internet! This is your home here on your blog and you should be able to express yourself freely. I love reading your blog and think you have really great things to say. Take care :) Julia
Unnskyld norsk min, er det ikke bra. Jeg har hatt bloggen mye – det har virkelig hjulpet meg med å tenke på klær – så jeg forstår ikke hvor de negative kommentarene kommer fra. Som en leser som er mye mye mer komfortabel på engelsk – som jeg er sikker på at du kan fortelle av min uunngåelig pinlige feil og vanskelige setninger – Jeg håper virkelig du fortsetter å blogge på engelsk ofte. Men kan du skrive på det språket du vil – jeg vil fortsette å følge, selv om jeg vil savne å få full essensen av din skrivestil. Jeg lurer på hvorfor vi engelsk-høyttalerne er så slem, ville det reallt være en skam om vi mistet en blogger på grunn av bety kommentarer.Hold opp det gode arbeidet!
keep doing what you do fleurette!!! i love you blog and this people sending you nasty comments are pathetic to use the anonymous internet to spread their hate to people that are just showing/posting what they love in the hope that some others connect. Be happy thats all thats important :D
i only recently discovered your blog and i love reading it! im hoping you'll continue writing in English for my own selfish reasons. if not, i'll just have to google translate your posts as i did with this one :)much love from sydney, australia!x
Jeg setter veldig pris på bloggen din. Jeg liker at du har din egen stemme og stil i mylderet av fashionistaer som kaster seg på en hver trend. I tillegg uttrykker du deg konsist og med godt språk på både norsk og engelsk – også en mangelvare i bloggverdenen. Visuelt sett er bloggen din også veldig tiltalende.Fortsett gjerne å blogge, og ikke heng deg opp i tåpelige kommentarer fra bitre "haters". Det er et mysterium hvorfor denslags personer gidder å bruke tid på å spre galle på nett.
I did translate this and understood what you have to say. Your blog is one of the very few that I take great pleasure in reading (most fashion blogs contain one image per post and no words, leaving me wanting more). Please stay strong and keep blogging. Your blog is one of my favorites and I don't understand why anyone would say anything horrible to you at all. :\ Don't give up!!
Frøken, du har ikke gjort noe galt. Tvert i mot. Du er rådyktig. Det har dessverre en tendens til å skape misunnelse og ser igjen umoden oppførsel. Fortsett å vær deg selv, den vannvittig flotte jenta vi inspireres av. <3
Og jeg tenkte at poosh engelsk, var på 1000 tilhengere søken, Babauta nevne en strategi for en passiv inntekt en dag i fremtiden … Den eneste måten å få bredere publikum, er å skrive på engelsk, vet du at så mye som alle.Hver blogger (ikke klar over det faktum) blir en offentlig person, leo / eleonore / noe selv gjort deg til en kjendis gjennom infamia (innlegg private bilder av deg, jeg fant ikke infamia ting, men … var det å røyke?) . Nasty kommentarer? De er skrevet for å få deg til å føle seg dårlig og løpe bort, det være seg til en annen blogg eller et språk. Du trenger ikke kjenner dem, har de ikke kjenner deg – ingen grunn til å ta det personlig. Alle har en Google-konto, så hvis noen ønsker å kommentere, vil de uavhengig av antianonymous innstillingene.Takk, Google Translator! ;]
Hi. I like reading your blog a lot because you're original and stay true to yourself. I was very surprised to hear you got negative comments, about what ? What could people possibly say negatively about you or your blog ? I just don't get it :( I can understand people reacting badly to a specific topic, but to you personally or your blog in general, sound strange, also they can just stop reading – no one is forcing them haha! I like your blog because of your point of view even if I don't necessarily always agree but it's what makes you special in the bloggersphere hehe :)
I too put this into Google and was surprised by the accurate translation. Anyway, people are crap – pretty sure I've mentioned tall poppy syndrome before? I hope that all the affection in the comments above will keep you blogging because the good far out weighs the bad. Your blogging voice is truly unique and I for one certainly enjoy reading your posts. Please don't give in to the evil trolls trying to silence you.
Why not disable the anonymous question feature? I'd sign up on formspring if I could ask questions again. I'm sorry if my comment about not liking your shoes was a comment that was too negative. I think that being able to accept criticism is a virtue. If the comments are ridiculously mean perhaps they're just trolling you? Just ignore people who spam you with hate mail: It's hard to imagine why they feel the need to do so. What do the people send you hate mail about? Perhaps they want your money? I honestly wish that I had more money to spend, haha. I like your blog. Remember that many critics are your friends. If your blog disappeared I would feel very sad. Having an internet presence requires a thick skin. If people post rude things- just laugh at them. These people are probably obsessed! You have helped me to refine my personal style. Even if I can't afford the clothing brands you wear, I still admire the inspiration.
Jeg synes bloggen din er fab, og fordi jeg har fulgt den en stund har du inspirert meg til å tenke mye nøyere igjennom fremtidige kleskjøp. Dessuten skriver du fantastisk, og bildene er helt rå. Så jeg sier gi blaffen i alle stygge kommentarer, do your thing!
I will happily read in english. I will translate if I must. I love your blog and I believe you should do whatever will make you happiest.<3 Sarahtheantiquepearl.blogspot.com
Fortsett aa skriv, og gjerne paa norsk! (og hvis du skal selge den røde IM-jakken saa VIL jeg (i likhet med mange andre sikkert..) kjøpe den, veldig gjerne!
Stå på, og ikke gi opp! Det er en haug med drittsekker der ute, men sannsynligvis flere av den motsatte sorten. Jeg har fulgt med på bloggen din en stund nå, men har aldri kommentert. Skal vedde på at det sitter en hel gjeng som setter stor pris på bloggen din, men ikke kommenterer. Du må skrive på det språket du føler for, du har sikkert mange engelske lesere. Personlig synes jeg det var deilig å lese på norsk, men dette er som sagt helt opp til deg ;) Ikke bry deg om de fæle menneskene som eksisterer, de har ikke bedre å finne på enn noe de tror øker deres egen selvtillit.
Hva hva hva?? En nordman ! Kunne ikke en gang tenke meg å komme hit, egentlig er jeg en fransk jenta som bor i Paris og kommer ofte i Norge. Jeg var på en fransk blog som snakket om deg (une chic fille) og da visste det at "dead fleurette" var en engelske kvinne (jeg trodde du var fransk). Men så så jeg "KANSKJE'. Harregud er det en norsk jenta?! Jeg var veldig fornøyd å oppdager det! Unnskyld for min norsk, jeg snakker mye bedre enn jeg skriver. Heia Norge haha !Bonne continuation !Emilie
Hejsa :-) En lille kommentar fra en dansk læser. Jeg elsker virkelig din blog. Den er meget inspirerende og fuld af smukke billeder, så jeg håber at du vil fortsætte med at blogge i lang tid fremover.
