Prior to blogging, I read a few blogs and spent countless hours on Instagram but I was oblivious to the trends among bloggers. Since joining the blogging scene, I have read a whole lot of blogs, followed Instagram pages and I have noticed a few similarities among bloggers, cliches one may call them. I have decided to share them.
1. Ikea Alex drawers - Because where else are you going to fit all those eyeshadow palettes
2. Ikea Skukar plant pot - Who cares what they were created for, I'm just going to store my for makeup brushes in them because everyone else is doing it
3. Fur rug - Can someone say Ikea ...
4. Ikea white desk - Let's hope it never gets dirty
5. Minimalist Instagram Theme
6. Acrylic Makeup Storage -If it's good enough for the Kardashians then its good enough for me
7. Cinema Lightbox - My blog name or blog post has to be in bright lights
8. Candles - especially Jo Malone
9. Marble Background
10. Succulents
11. Flat Lays - A good flat lay is worth more than a thousand photos
12. Rose gold props - The flat lay is incomplete without the rose gold
13. Flowers - Who knew Peonies were so photogenic?
14. Blurry Background - The beloved 50mm lens to create the perfect bokeh effect
15. Kate Spade stationery - I mean they look great on camera
16. Girl Boss book - Does anyone read the book or is it just for the aesthetics
17. Rings as props - especially rose gold
18. MacBook/ Imac
19. Staged desk shots - Because a good desk shot can tell any story, just read the caption
20. Fashion Magazines - Vogue and Elle seem to be good blogger reads
21. Framed inspirational quote - She believed she could so she did
22. White, minimalist blog - Because all that colour is too distracting.
23. H and M home - Basically
24. Tea/ Coffee shots - Do you drink the tea after you post on Instagram? Or was the coffee never hot to begin with?
25. Macaroons - Are they ever eaten or just to be double clicked on Instagram?
This was a fun post for me to write and I hope you enjoy it. I am guilty of 14 cliches and counting because we never know, I may decide to visit the home section of H&M.
Have you noticed any of these cliches? Which ones are you guilty of?
Lmaoo! The only thing I'm guilty of is #18. This has me questioning if I'm a real blogger������. I love your blog girl! Keep up the amazing work.

ReplyDeleteThese are so spot on! Especially all of the ikea stuff, I'm guilty of getting that classic white ikea desk! It's so good as a white background for my blog photos though....? haha
