Yes her style is a weird blend of rich boho rock chick & mum on the run. Far to fussy/busy for her petite frame.
Am I missing something or is River’s last name De Force? (taking after Mike De Force..?)
Doesn’t it literally translate to “flower power”? I thought that was the story behind it? Maybe not.
De Force is not their real name. She made it up as a play on words.. Like tour de force.. Fleur de force.
Their surname is Bell. Fleur's maiden name was Westaway.
Oh you're right! Not going by a real name is pretty odd when you think about it. That's why so many people think it must be her actual name.Doesn’t it literally translate to “flower power”? I thought that was the story behind it? Maybe not.
She is probably one of the few who hasn’t rebranded to use her real name!Oh you're right! Not going by a real name is pretty odd when you think about it. That's why so many people think it must be her actual name.
to be fair they’re so posh, i don’t think people tend to question that it might not be their real last name

So true! Now I'm thinking about it I can see why it must be so confusing if you're a newish viewer of hers. Especially as she refers to Mike as Mike De Force and MDF. Most youtubers who used an alias to start with have ditched it a long time ago.to be fair they’re so posh, i don’t think people tend to question that it might not be their real last name
I think its because although a lot of her subs know she is well off, they assume she's this way because of Mike's family! If she went by her maiden name, its very easy to see she also comes from a multi-millionaire family. Personally I think that might put people off her and shine too much light on both families businesses which they may not want.She is probably one of the few who hasn’t rebranded to use her real name!

Yeah, I always assumed she did it because her maiden name is fairly distinctive and would have tied it to her family's business, plus at first she was quite hesitant to mention that her brother was in a well known band so it allowed distance from that too.I think its because although a lot of her subs know she is well off, they assume she's this way because of Mike's family!

the same as sunbeamjess- from a very well off family and has not rebranded to her full nameI think its because although a lot of her subs know she is well off, they assume she's this way because of Mike's family!

I completely forgot about Ingrid's name before!!! I'm in hystericsI think it is also because her chosen name is quite 'mature' - nothing to do with make up, guru, sparkles, beauty. I think a lot of the people that started in the beauty category tried to make their online name reflect that.
I think Ingrid with "Miss glamorazzi"was one of the worst at the time (in my view) the name made me cringe every time.
I find her sense of style a little off too. But at the same time I like that she’s not styled by a stylist. She’s kind of like a regular person in that way. I also follow some bloggers with a far better idea of fashion, they look great, but they sometimes look a little too curated.I like Fleur but for someone that spends that much money on clothes/shoes/accessories, her taste is bloody awful
I am so sorry it has taken me forever to reply.When Mike cooked, yes it was more hearty meals with meat and potatoes. But 85% of the time when Fleur was left to her own devices, she ate relatively healthy. I'm interested to know if/how she's coping with giving up prawns and aged cheese. Those are the two things I remember her being really addicted to. She has always seemed to prefer seafood to things like beef, pork, or poultry. He is really addicted to chocolate, which is easier to find suitable vegan substitute.
If this entire thing is genuine then good for her and the environment. But being environmentally conscious is a trend right now amongst the YouTube masses. It's what viewers want to see. She may not need YouTube to survive, but it does seem to give her a sense of purpose. I guess I should give her credit for aspiring to be something other then a bored, rich, stay-at-home mom.
What I cannot wrap my head around is if all these lifestyle and beauty YouTubers are looking for a way to be environmentally friendly, then an easy place to start would be to stop receiving PR. Samantha Ravndahl did a video at the end of 2018, discussing her decision to stop PR. For Godsakes, just go watch one of Fleur's good friend Tati's unboxing videos. The amount of waste is horrific. This is part of why it's so hard for me to take Fleur and a lot of other YouTubers seriously on certain topics. I agree that gradual change is better than none at all. But there are certain situations that are just flat out ridiculous. The woman is a millionaire. I am pretty sure she'd manage just fine without the free handouts.
I agree!! I think it was kind of smart that she originally had a persona name and then stuck by it even trying to keep mikes last name hidden to an extent by giving him the deForce handle tooYeah, I always assumed she did it because her maiden name is fairly distinctive and would have tied it to her family's business, plus at first she was quite hesitant to mention that her brother was in a well known band so it allowed distance from that too.
