Quote of the day
“Essex is very on trend at the moment, isn’t it? It’s Essex chic. I can see it translating up north and in the rest of the country.”

Just vile, I shan’t be buying a thing!

I completely agree. Absolutely awful.

This comment is so offensive, “I can see it relating up North.” In other words speaking for some equally as vile liverpudlian/ newcastle style offensives, just heap the whole country into one tacky pile, buyer for HOF.

I’m not from the UK, so I do not understand what you mean…
What is Essex chic?

It’s an oxymoron.

Ouch, that comment certainly hit a nerve…Rita, ‘Essex chic’ refers to girls from Essex on the outskirts of London who have a particular style but in this case, more specifically to a popular TV series called The Only Way Is Essex. These two stars have brought out a clothing range which is being sold in House of Fraser stores. The ‘Essex’ style is not generally thought of as aspirational, but the buyer knows it will appeal to a certain customer who might aspire to be like these TV stars.
