C’mon let’s be honest, we all over exaggerate when it comes to our social media, girls especially. We all have this desire to be loved and admired by our peers and even strangers. But now because of social media it seems our needs have heightened even more so. Resulting in a lot of us telling lies or more innocently massaging the truth. 

So here are a few wee lies some girls tell

1. #ijustwokeuplikethis

Err I don’t think so darling. Mascara, blusher, high-lighter and freshly brushed hair. You ain’t foolin’ nobody.

2. #HealthyLiving

Now indeed this could be true, you may well be a super healthy chick. But seriously, you can’t keep that shit up 24/7. Bit rich you only post your avocado and salmon salad when i’m pretty sure I saw your fat arse in pizza hut the other day face deep in a stuffed crust.

3. #SquadGoals

You didn’t even like these bitches two weeks ago, but hey hey living for the insta likes. Nothing says a successful instagram feed like fake friendship.

4. #GymLife

Yes because everyone goes to the gym in a perfectly co-ordinating outfit and a full face of make-up. No babes, you don’t. You go there to sweat, hate the instructors and hopefully lose weight. If you’re taking snaps, you ain’t doing it right.

6. #BodyGoals

AHHHHH, these are the worst. Yes you might be genetically blessed and have the ability to grow abs. But girl please, nobody’s stomach is that defined on a Saturday morning. Talk about good lighting and a dab of bronzer.

7. #BestNightEver

This picture is hash-tagged under an image of a line of girls in a synchronised head tilt position. Yes it was the best night ever, for the 10 minutes it took to take that picture. Shortly after the said girls went out, queued for 30 minutes to get into an expensive club, stayed for one pricey prosecco and then had their boyfriends pick them up so they could go home and sleep.

8. #LookingAway

Oh some person just randomly took this picture of me looking away whilst laughing or holding a drink. Yes because that happens all of the time. So explain to me, after said photographical hero took said picture, you then approached them on the off chance that they took a picture of you without you knowing, and then sent you it so you could post it on instagram. Believable, indeed.

9. #RelationshiopGoals

Word to the wise, if you have to post saying you’re relationship is perfect, it probably isn’t. Surely if you’re that happy you don’t need recognition from other people. Plus it really blooming irritating.

10. #LifeGoals

That’s the biggest lie by far is that you have everything in life sorted. You’ve got the perfect job, relationship, body, friends and house. Truth is, nobody has that, but social media makes feel like you should. Filters are there to distort the truth, so don’t get dragged down by this air-brushed image that other people are trying to portray. Just remember you do you sista.

 

Ok, so not a fashion related post, we know. But our addiction to clothing is over shadowed by one entity, and that entity is PIZZA. Like the ol’ apple a day rhyme, we like to live by the saying – a pizza a week will prevent you from being a freak. And it is true. The simple combination of doughy bread, succulent tomato sauce and stringy cheese, melts our hearts in more ways than any man could. With that said… here are our favourite places in London to divulge in our doughy addiction.

1. Homeslice

£20 for 20 inches of pure heaven – what more could you want? Plus you can go halves with different styles, so perfect for a date. Also, they serve the wine by how much you drink rather than per glass. Smart but very dangerous on a boozy girls night.

 

2. Pizza East

For a killer cocktail, amazing pizza and great atmosphere, Pizza East is the one for you. The Shoreditch location is our favourite haunt and is a great starting place for a night out. We’ve also heard the meatballs are a winner on the menu too (soz, we’re both veggies).

 

3. Voodoo Ray’s

On the evening that we decided the start The Fashion Frontline, we finished our ‘business meeting’ with a trip to Voodoo Ray’s in Boxpark. This was the location where we both realised that our love of pizza was a lot more than the average chick, and we had no damn shame about it. So thank you Mr Ray for bringing us closer together. Go cray on the dried up condiments; chuck some chilli and cheese on that bad boy.

 

4. Lardo

This London Fields gem is a tasty Italian restaurant with even tastier pizza. The cheese on the classic margarita has such a creamy texture that caresses the tongue so lightly it feels like a cloud sliding down your throat. I know, this description alone will make your mouth water. Plus it’s got a great outside seating area, so ideal for a summer Saturday with friends.

 

5. Franco Manca

It’s almost blasphemous to not mention Franco Manca in a London Pizza line up. Cheap, cheerful and darn delicious. We are happy girls.

Now don’t give us that old rubbish about pizza making you fat. It’s all lies that the burger and chips industry spread around to try and sway you. Stay loyal, stay faithful and stay strong. If you feel that you are going to falter, then look at this gif of Channing Tatum with a slice of pizza and a cat. Better?
