^^I'm not familiar with Birmingham but I found this house on there that is much cheaper than Amies.

That’s a nice house but not so nice area unfortunately according to https://www.ilivehere.co.uk/statistics-hodgehill-birmingham-18386.html

I think she mentioned in an earlier video that they saw their house in passing after another viewing which didn’t work out, and while it was completely different to what they were looking for, they felt it would work for them. I get that you have to compromise on certain features etc but if you’re tuning yourself to look at a different kind of house altogether would you not want to look at more of such houses to ensure you could compare them, and then decide? 180 degree turn is one thing but to settle on the first such house after that is just bonkers! Not a smart move at all.

The funnier thing is, when I was renting out apartments, I've seen more than 5 apartments to decide on signing a 1 year lease. Lmao!

I’ll just leave this here

I'm still convinced Amie made a huge mistake with the biggest purchase of her life aka her house. I've seen similar houses before to Amies at better prices just randomly googling "houses in Birmingham". I don't know how you can get tired house hunting after 5 houses. It's not some £2000 luxury bag...Some people look for months to 2 years for the perfect house.

She actually mentioned in one of the videos that when people sell a home they should let buyers people to "try it out" because she said that the sun is super streaky in their bedroom. But I felt like you would've figured that out when there is a giant window that doesn't have blinds or black out curtains.

I bought my place within a month but I literally went on 3 sometimes 5 viewings a day and I had a lot less money to work with. I must've seen 40 flats at least.

 

[just_S]

minimal thought and due diligence went in to the purchase of this house.

with the amount of money Amie has spent on bags, repeat clothing choices and useless branded house decorations since moving in, they could have saved and waited a while longer to find a truly nice living space. based purely on what she has prioritised over the last few months (turning 3 bedrooms into fantasy walk in closets), it does not appear like they were really in a rush to get the dog they supposedly wanted the bigger space for. i think the honest truth is that she wanted to appear in more “affluent looking” surroundings like Fleur DeForce (an actual affluent influencer) and Lydia Millen (from the threads on here i gather she is also a faux influencer but a cursory glance at her instagram account suggests she has a more “luxe looking” house compared to Amie’s old apartment settings) and hence the rush to “upgrade” to a house.

Posh people (given she’s so keen to be seen as such) don’t need to walk into different rooms for shoes and clothes - they just have one giant gorgeous walk in closet with beautifully made wardrobes and lighting.

this is so true and imagine Amie having to walk from room to room in her bathrobe just to get dressed! i only have the wardrobe that comes with my bedroom (quelle horreur!) but i can get dressed and undressed in privacy withought having to parade around the apartment in my undies for neighbours to see!

 

[MUALover]

On a personal note, I wonder how fulfilling Amie finds her life of endless rounds of shopping and selling. I find that at least for me, I'd enjoy going out and shopping if I met some personal or career goals, to celebrate. If you do it day in and day out, shopping for luxury loses its novelty and wears thin (This depends of course. Depending on where you live, some people do wear Chanel bags to go shopping, do errands. JLo wears white crocodile Hermes to the gym lol). There was a period of a few months where I was in between employment waiting for a job to start, and I was going to the beach, eating out daily in restaurants daily (I had money saved up), buying clothes, etc... - I was bored!

I don't mind the house that much - I mean it is what it is: a modern, slightly-awkward-but-generally-fine new build. I can see how in some places it would be tricky to utilise the space, but in their situation they have the luxury of not necessarily having to stuff those awkward spaces with furniture because it's just the two of them. What I do find particularly funny though is that she's done what every influencer does in these situations - add faux panelling. Argh. It looks so ridiculous next to the radiator covers! Why can't these people see that you can't just jam everything you like into one space and hope for the best?!

 

[bblondon]

It shows how basic and easily led they are. If anyone cared about interiors or if a certain style of interior important they would look for a property which had original panelling features, adding them to a basic new build almost never looks right and looks cheap and weird. She is a follower and will never show something original or with a new spin on it. It’s why she’ll always just be a woman with money and a camera to film herself, not an influencer.

I just find the house choice odd given her disposable income and fortune she’s spent on designer items - she doesn’t have the luxe interiors/home to go with it. Where is the bespoke fitted walk in wardrobe? She’s just added IKEA shelves up what would be another box room in the standard home. People like her and Tamara are so weird to me, their spending compared to their homes just don’t add up

 

[Keikochan]

Those wall panels can totally look nice but they just don't suit a modern house. It's just a completely different style that doesn't mess together. The Ikea Scandinavian style kinda suits better but honestly it can easily look super tacky & uncreative which just doesn't impress for an influencer. An influencer is suppose to be creative, no? She is just boring and not even in the basic way which would at least be some kind of way!

 

[missmousey]

Amie’s house is a mess of various aesthetics. Rustic dining table next to a living room with cheap modern furniture. Media units are out of fashion but she decided to have one Ladder in a living room of average dimensions, but she behaves as if she has high ceilings and numerous bookcases she needs to reach. Panelling that looks exactly like what every unimaginative IGer has, she doesn’t have even a single creative grey cell to do it differently pattern-wise. She really has no originality. Is definitely not an influencer but a big time copycat. Her latest stories feature some updated IKEA bookcases in her dressing area, I don’t know what the big hoo ha is about as they just look meh.

 

[danisaur]

Mixing styles can be done well if you have a cohesive theme and interesting objects. The unifying theme for her style seem to be... white... sooooo much white, the only pops of colour seem to be decorations. Her home feel so sterile, not even Ikea showroom, which some can look quite homey, but like a doctor's office.

 

[just_S]

sure Amie because all we’ve seen are your reformation side slit dresses, the same reiss knit top/dress in every colour and endless supply of $200+ spray on jeans that all look exactly. the. same

I would of thought London would be great for thrift shopping. I wonder where she was looking, if at all

yes, one would think a cosmopolitan city such as London would attract more interesting finds than a thrift shop in the middle of the suburbs so why bother pretending

Tbh, I used to run an EBay store that resold designer stuff that I found in thrift stores. Thrift shopping in big cities, in my case NYC is a lot more difficult than what people think. First you have a lot more competition because everyone is looking for a bargain, so the good stuff gets cleaned out early. When I lived in NYC, the best finds are usually smaller towns and church sales, where I’ve picked up brand new Dior shirts for a few dollars and fantastic condition Armani suits for $50, and Chanel jacket for $30. Furthermore, thrifting for female clothes is really hard, because more people look into that section, men’s stuff is much more prevalent, that’s if you decide to resell them rather than wearing it yourself and in that instance, you have to take sizing into consideration. For me, as a poor university student, thrifting is how I clothed myself and made some extra money on the side. I truly believe that you need a really creative and unconventional personal style to wear thrift pieces because it is a way to expand your wardrobe and a cheap way to experiment with styles. I don’t think Amie has that and I remember she recalled a painful childhood memory of her parents buying home goods from charity shops because they didn’t have money. I don’t think she is the type to thrift. Also, I thrifted for things when it wasn’t really “trendy” as it was over a decade ago, with new platforms like Thredup, I feel like people are just selling things directly now.

 

[missmousey]

Amie thrifts on non-fashion items but that’s it. I just wish she’d come clean and ‘fess up instead of giving the impression she thrifts on clothes when Reiss doesn’t come cheap and she’s buying Max Mara, Canada Goose, Zimmerman, DVF. It’s misleading.
She’s done up the display cases in her fashion room but still not installed a door for the bathroom. What’s the point of ‘doing up’ a room when she has to block out a fundamental aspect of it with sheets of paper/fabric?

 

[MUALover]

Amie's house decor is actually quite unrealistic as well for a young professional. When I moved into my first apartment, every single furniture came from my parents' basement and spare bedroom. I used the furniture for years and it was fine. I never felt deprived or anything. I thought part of the fun of being in your 20s and 30s was living frugally. When my parents first moved to North America as immigrants, all their furniture was thrifted.

You buy better furniture as your net worth grows after you build your career. I really don't know how Amie is not in a huge ton of debt.

 

[meowmeowbeans]

Does Amie go thrifting? I don't remember her mentioning that. I love thrifting, by the way (and garage sales, flea markets, vintage stores, etc), so no shade if she does, I just have a hard time imagining her teetering into a thrift store in her patent heels and Tory Burch bag and going to town on the bric-a-brac. Her taste in interiors is so basic that she'd probably reject anything interesting because it doesn't fit her white/gold/marble palette.

 

[missmousey]

I’m not trying to be mean here but Amie seems keen to be defined by her purchases/money. The need to show she can afford designer gear, doing her house up in a showy manner, impulsive purchases (not just once but many times over) - all seems strange if she grew up with very little money. My mom came from a really poor family and while she was successful in her career and was able to afford nice things, she still couldn’t bring herself to buy a Chanel bag. There was only so much she was willing to pay for a nice bag. I’ve seen this in many of my friends as well who had a tough time growing up and while all of them have gone on to have successful jobs and a wonderful life, buying luxury and spending money on business/first class flights is still something they don’t take lightly though they can afford it many times over. I know everyone’s different but for someone who grew up with so little, I was expecting Amie to appreciate her purchases a lot more.

 

[miss giggles]

I use to like watching her videos, but do find her a bore now, every video now is about luxe shopping, sales and more shopping and more sales.
she haven't stopped shopping...... she must be desperate for contents to film, she's putting out so many videos in a week!!! zzzz
