It doesn't make any difference you taking a picture in a store because just like Jaime said it's on their online store and also people do hauls now where they film and take pictures of their purchases and share it on social media. Times are changing and that brand needs to move along with it. <br /><br />Mary <br /><br />popgoesfashion.com<br /><br />x<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826519200046484342.post-10817167402536239682014-05-16T15:07:21.053+01:002014-05-16T15:07:21.053+01:00THIS is something that I've been interested ab...THIS is something that I've been interested about for a while because as you know, us bloggers like to photograph something and share with our followers and fellow bloggers (and as you've mentioned, it's promoting a brand through our profiles. And word of mouth is invaluable!). I do wonder what shop assistants think nowadays what with instagram, twitter and facebook being so popular. I still feel like I can't take photos in store. I'd be so embarassed if i get told off. Actually, it would annoy me more than anything to be accused of ripping them off, when I'm doing quite the opposite!

Thankfully some shops are stepping into the 21st Century with regards to this though, I think places like Miss Selfridge and American Apparel are positively encouraging the 'changing room selfie' - hopefully it'll catch on!<br /><br />Hannah x<br />www.hannahlouisef.comHannah Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454113897479717737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826519200046484342.post-11441220839250960102014-05-16T12:27:05.797+01:002014-05-16T12:27:05.797+01:00No, I think that's quite a daft rule to be hon...No, I think that's quite a daft rule to be honest - why have IG if you don't want to interact with people through photos? I do prefer it when people ask if they can take photos in my shop, but they usually do and I'm totally fine with it. What does annoy me is when people pick up products and scan the barcodes to see if they can get them cheaper elsewhere (it's a private little gift shop, so some items may be available elsewhere but a lot are locally handmade items. charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424341312136077664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826519200046484342.post-71814974326019484482014-05-16T10:03:40.449+01:002014-05-16T10:03:40.449+01:00I always feel a bit awkward if I take a picture in...I always feel a bit awkward if I take a picture in store, but as you say- this is 2014 and in a real time world of twitter, instagram and blogging where brands pay and hand out freebies to people purely for their presence on social media, it seems a bit odd to say 'no pictures in store'. The copying thing seems a bit null and void too, you don't have to take a picture to copy something and with the way fashion forecasts so far ahead in time, if someone is copying your idea it's probably already happening, or more pertinently, the oriental/Asian manufacturer being used is already selling the factory outlet versions on eBay for a tenth of the price it retails for in the UK! <br /><br />I think I'm with you on this- life's too short to have been snarky with the shop assistant over this, even though they were super rude, and it's a really odd thing to take issue with!

It's not like I'm walking around and snapping everything like on some fashion press day! Plus what are they going to do with the people in the fitting rooms trying on the clothes and sending selfies to friends to comment on the attire? Will they introduce photo police?
