Caveat Emptor and The Danger of Bag Blogs
In The Cult of The Amateur Andrew Keen makes a few low blows about the ability of the average consumer to understand his consumption choices as a buttress to his central thesis that blogging is quite reprehensible. Apparently the fact that all of us are constantly blogging with very little discrimination makes the addled consumer even more confused about what is and is not worthwhile in life. The trouble phenomenon of extended adolescence aside, we aren't much for a didactic press. 
Perhaps it makes it harder for some consumers to have a multitude of voices vouching for their fashion preferences. But our mothers always told us you can't always believe what you read. And seeing is not always believing. And even at a low resolution we are pretty sure you can still tell which bag is a Balenciaga Matelasse and what is a random quilted bag from Forever 21. And if you can't, or won't, be bothered to do a little due diligence on your shopping then you don't have much right to complain. Caveat Emptor now more than ever!
you are so wrong. can you believe old media - newspapers, tv - the answer is a big NO.
Nothing is believable. everybody has interests. Even I have - http://www.pursesnbags.com

At least if everyone's blogging, they could be a bit more authentic than kissing brands just to get access (this has nothing to do with this blog, it has to do with 80% of the so called bloggers). Finally it comes down to professionalism. And the lack of it.
