Actually the first ones are celebrity pics...they generally have stylists whatever...Istanbul is a multi cultured city,so u can c different styles and the places have different styles,for example the posh ones generally go to Nisantasi or so,but the punk ones generally go to Taksim and all...i would like to send some pics from those punk ones,they sometimes look damn funny haha.I hope i can send them soon!

I hate those posh ones,cos they don't even have a style,THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!And it is so annoying cos u go out and they have the same shoes,same hair style,same sunglasses,same tops...the worst of all,now they all wear Converses...whatever forget bout those losers...well here comes a pic

okey I was rude when I said people in Istanbul cant dress.But before I wrote this I had argued bitterly with my boyfriend over something (he is an ex now ) ,so I was angry.But Istanbul isn't a fashion city like London or Tokyo.And I am not talking about being stylish (I was the worst dresser when I was in high school) I'm talking about being creative.I was shocked when I went to London for the first time.There were a lot of people who wore quite extraordinary clothes and nobody was looking at them.But it's not like that here.A friend of mine had blue hair and she couln't even walk on the street for a second without being harassed because of her hair.People call you marginalized if you even have a piercing.One day last summer I wore cowboy boots (it was for summer not winter) and in 15 minutes 4 people on the street said look she wears boots in summer (in London everybody wears it)And yesterday some guy teased me on the street and said do you think you are in Paris .(there was nothing extraordinary about my dress)It's really annoying I wanna dress up but I hate it when people are looking at me.I mean it depends of your neighbourhood but there aren't enough neighbourhoods where people dress up,and I cant say I like these neighbourhoods (Nisantası for example)ıt's full of people who want to show off that they have the latest bag ( somehow the latest bag is always Louis V. ) ,latest cars.And whenever I go there I see paparazzis taking picture of famous people when they are shopping .I think people prefer wearing comfortable clothes in Istanbul.I rarely see women wearing dresses or skirts,so even when you wear dress people are looking at you .Many young people feel the same way too
(sorry if I have grammer mistakes )

I couldn't agree with u more!!!And i know what u mean completely.When i go out ppl ALWAYS look at me strangely as if i am naked or smth It is so irritating and when i ask my bf whether i have smth or not,he always replies "Cos u r too beautiful for them" he is cute...anyways.Some ppl are really uneducated and that stops youngsters to be creative!Thanks God i don't live in an area like that
