Jula said : "By the way, I really like the black and white one... Just saying". What does she mean by this? She was talking about a MW top. Does she expect someone to buy it for her?

Oh well she did say she’s a wedding (school friend of Sophie’s) next weekend and one of the MW dresses they were selling, would be perfect to wear for that occasion.

This has become Julia's loathsome catchphrase, in my opinion. Normally the punctuation to saying something mean...
In this case, without any other context I would presume it is a pitch to have it loaned as a sample, or gifted.
I know there are always presenters claiming to be going to buy an item as a sales ploy, but this does seem like a hinty-hint-hint.
This is the most benign use of this catchphrase I've heard of recently.

Did she say which size she really liked as well?

I think she uses the phrase as an extension of ‘I’ll be honest with you’. Unfortunately the effect is all wrong - a bit sneaky snidey.

Yes the old chestnut “You know I’m always honest with you”

Well it will no doubt be on her blog so we will see if she wears it. She wouldn’t be one of those awful people who attend a wedding wearing white would she? Just saying

The last time she saw 14 it was on someone’s door.
Julia has just reminded us she was on The Price Is Right. How many years ago was this, Julia? And who knew she used to be a game show hostess? She’had an extraordinary career
...just sayin
On a more positive note, I think Melissa is a very good fashion expert. She really knows her stuff and relates well to all the presenters she works with. Don’t think the Marla Wynn’s kimonos/toppers/baggie cardigans/whatever do her any favours though

Really funny how we see things differently.
I‘m just not interested in her really loving all MW’s stuff, and that she keeps saying it’s so stunning.
With Marla who’s has done such a fantastic job with her fabulous colour palette.
That such and such looks gorgeous in the drama blanket kimmo, teamed with Marla‘s flatter fit ripple puckered trouser creations.
Much like the high end designer dress shop, you go in getting pounced on and must try on all the creations.
Then you find everything is fabulous, the very minute you step in it or pop it over your head.
Together with the owner’s friend who appears confirming each and every sentence.

Eh? If that’s true how can anyone buy with confidence? A real size 10 would need a 6!

What are the odds they made a special pair with the requisite label in(so-called vanity sizing)? Just saying....
Of course they do, they all do it, especially the American brands. If Julia wore a size 10 in those jeans I'd need a 6 as I AM a size 10 in jeans. I am not a 6 unless that's a 36 hip. Every brand has different sizing. I have several size XS tops from Q yet in the Vanucci range I'm an L or XL. Work that out.
On the subject of Julia though, just the last couple of days I've seen her in a pink floral top (Together?), a paisley maxi dress and a top on today's Friday Fashion and she really looked good in all of those outfits.

Well I think MW's colour palette is ****** awful ! - apart from the knee length tie died print dress in several colours. Even I might have been tempted in buying the mauve one, if it was mid calf and not a knee showing dress.

I don't like any of her creations or her prices. Just saying.
Actually, I think ending statements with "just saying" is quite clever because it can mean I'm being falsely apologetic, snide, rude, argumentative, forceful, dogmatic, critical - anything I want, without uttering another word. Just saying.

Some psychologists would say that when someone says "Honestly," they mean anything but!Yes the old chestnut “You know I’m always honest with you”
Yes, she's phoning it in. I think she has a descent figure under the tents.
