The Cotswolds have always been a country playground for the rich and famous (see the Chipping Norton set), places like Soho Farmhouse capitalised upon that but now it's not just the moneyed and the famous that go but the idiot airhead influencers who want to pretend they're something too.Can someone from England explain to me why all of a sudden the Cotswolds are like influencer catnip? Like, I get it. One of many gorgeous parts of England and relatively close to London so you can leave the hustle and bustle of a busy city and be âin the countryâ in a short period of time. But if Vic, Josie, Lidl et al are already living outside London âin the countryâ (lol Northamps) then why would they want to buy more property in the country? Make it make sense please. Annnnd, is it really necessary to clickbait musings with your husband about buying more property in a pandemic?
I just bought a house and like 3 people know about it because I feel weird announcing it when friends of mine have lost their jobs and/or are still dealing with crippling college debt...and because my parents helped me. And I really only told people I live near so they offer to help me move
Reminds me of all the Brooklyn influencers colonizing upstate New York and driving prices through the roof.
As an influencer, she really looks like she is still stuck in 2010. Her whole look is so dated.
She looks 45 here and a PTA mum (mum to Harrison) lol
I have never really seen skinny belt for ages

Before saying this I wanna be honest that I could be missing something and I apologize if I am.
Last week, I saw so many people raging over Eugenia Cooney flashing her panties in YouTube video as being totally inappropriate and that she should be demonetized. But people like Lydia and Victoria clearly do it to follow the sex sells/show some skin angle because they have nothing else of interest going on.
Iâm confused. I totally understand Eugenia is controversial because of promoting an unhealthy body image but whatâs the consensus on flaunting panties online? Genuinely curious to know what all the lovely ladies here think on the subject. Is it empowering and okay? Or is it explicit content like everyone was complaining about Eugenia

Iâm not aware of the Eugenia Cooney controversy but in general, I hate the rhetoric pushed by influencers like the Kardashians that showing your naked body to a million of strangers online is somehow âempoweringâto women. I think women who have an urge to get confirmation from strangers about how good their body looks should just admit they love the attention and are doing it out of vanity and not for the empowerment of others. On the other hand I do consider myself a true feminist and hate when these women are targeted and slutshamed.
In Vicâs case: I just think sheâs very unhappy in her marriage and personal life and truly needs the confirmation that sheâs hot and skinny. I also genuinely think that comparison is the root of all evil and that all these influencers must be so negatively impacted by the heavily filtered and perfect images they see of their peers every day. I also wouldnât be happy with myself if I would open my instagram every day and ONLY see stick-thin, blonde, fish-lipped women every day. Luckily I live in the real world and all my friends are beautiful women who all look different, sure we also get beauty treatments and love fashion but when we get together we talk about much more interesting things and we all have careers that do NOT revolve around our appearance. I think Vic needs to leave her closet and get out in the real world and realise that people might value her for things other than her looks.
I love this - you've put it perfectly.
I feel like these women have achieved a fluke success, and then shut themselves away inside their gifted homes, and forget what real life looks like. This results in summer collection sweater dresses, tweed blazers etc. They've turned themselves into mannequins, dressing up for scenarios that only happen in their heads.
It's like Victoria and her obsession with BossBabe suits; I've said it before here, but I run my own business and meet with clients (pre-covid) regularly. If I showed up in a Crayola suit, heavily branded bag, tripped in to the place wearing yellow stilettos, I can guarantee you that I would quickly find myself without clients.
Showing underwear in an outfit video and prancing about doing zoolander poses and pouting while dressed in your smalls seems to the new trend for Lydia, Amelia and frow and I genuinely donât understand it because it adds zero to their content and is unnecessary to what theyâre trying to sell and their demographic. It just comes across awkward and desperate for validation and doesnât make one bit of sense to me if you look at the comments people make where they beat themselves up for not having the same body because they have baby weight or gained weight in lockdown or whatever. Why are they trying to flex to their target demo? You can just tell frow probably agonised about how she looked and took 500 videos before deciding on the one she liked bed. First focus on not dressing in typical cheugy style and get the outfit part right at least. Iâm not saying that a person shouldnât be able to choose what to post but letâs be real, as someone said about the kardashian/jenners have a lot to answer for in making it seem like putting content like this out there is female empowerment before we first do some critical thinking about the male gaze and how brainwashed weâve become as a society when it comes to social media, boundaries and everything in between when it comes to things like this

Maybe theyâre trying to pivot and sell lingerie as theyâve missed out on those sweet, sweet bikini AF link $$ with no trips abroad 
Totally agree! I think the "boss babe" terminology is like being a Barbie boss. I'm a boss/brand director in a corporate setting and have many friends who are bosses as well in various industries. I don't think boss babe is a term any one of us would use and I definitely wouldn't wear the chintzy "power suits" Vicky wears to a presentation.
Yes, she's accumulated success for herself but honestly -- your husband and two best friends working for you doesn't make you a "boss babe". Neither does prancing in your panties for validation you're clearly not getting from your husband.
I just find it exhausting scrolling through social media and seeing women âempoweringâ themselves by posing and prancing in their underwear. Maybe Iâm jealous because I know Iâll never be a size 6 and I know that if I posed like this in my underwear because Iâm also âempoweredâ, Iâd be reported to IG and my account suspended for pornography. The double standard is stark - ITF, Lidl, et al, in their so-called empowerment, are also reinforcing 1 particular (white supremacist) beauty standard. IG penalizes posters who donât fit into this beauty standard, so the system continues to be reinforced and people like me who do not fit into societyâs ideal beauty standard continue to feel like tit because this is all we see time and time again.
But whatever, these women can do whatever they want. Nothing on the internet ever disappears. And there are some seriously pervvy people out there
last time I checked every fashion clothing retailer website was empowering black women ( not sure about your white girl comment ) maybe look at some fashion lines you will see black and Asian now more than white ... besides that white s. Ideology is now officially over ... itâs boring to obsess over skinnnnnnnnnnI just find it exhausting scrolling through social media and seeing women âempoweringâ themselves by posing and prancing in their underwear.

Sorry but putting one black model on the website in a performative way for BLM is NOT empowering black women
and are you seriously implying black and asian models are used more than white? You know thatâs a lie lol. Itâs so easy to say that itâs BoRiNg to obsess over skin when youâre not the one affected, which, judging from your comment I would say youâre white 
I agree - literally the last thing I want to be perceived at work is a "babe". I don't want people to think of me as a babe, EVER, unless it's my bf.
I'm sorry, what?! Do you shop online ever? Fashion brands are still flooded with white models. If they ever use Asian or Black models, they are still stick-skinny and light-skinned Asians/Blacks with white-washed hair and makeup. I was looking to buy swimsuits and have been getting a bunch of instagram ads for swimsuit brands and I was not surprised to see brands like Triangl only having 90% super skinny white women on their ads. I want to see how the bikini looks on an average body on everyone's skin tone, not just size 2 white women.
Also what do you mean it's "boring to obsess over skin"? No the duck it is not - how is it fair that the world we live in is so diverse and multicultural but brands aren't reflecting that in 2021? People with different skin tones want to see how clothes look in their own skin before purchasing it. You have absolutely no right to be dismissing the fight for fair representation of skin colour in fashion ads, as it's not only related to fashion but is related to the entire reflection of society and how they view people of other skin colours. You pretty much showed it in your comment that you don't care as long as it has nothing to do with you and push the idea that it's "boring". Maybe you're a white girl who got offended because of someone's white girl comment but this is literally something people have dealt with since the beginning of ads. Maybe read up on what racism is and how it exists in every aspect of life before naively commenting about your own privilege.
I have to disagree actually with the idea that you rarely see black models. Representation is Improving hugely. H&M and Zara in particular use lots of dark skinned black women in their campaigns. And there are still obviously going to be white models, they make up a pretty large percentage of the population. Iâd argue that the ubiquitous âcurvy black women in her underwearâ is so overdone itâs almost offensive that it has become the poster for ~diversity~.

I'm not shading any companies that are representing diverse cultures!! It's amazing that Zara has actually been doing it for a very long time and not just recently
I'm just shading the ones that don't because there are more companies that don't vs. the ones that do. Like some big makeup brands have only in the last few years started coming out with darker skin colours for their foundations. And again, this shouldn't even be something that's celebrated, it should be normal right? Since there are diverse women, there should be diverse representation. I really don't know why it's so hard for brands to realize this lol. (Obviously don't know too much about male brands so can't speak to that)Like even look at Holland Cooper - there's one post of an Asian woman among 200+ posts that I scrolled through their Instagram. And it wasn't even their campaign model, it was a repost of an influencer's post. And no other POC to be seen anywhere else.
I wonder if Vic wrote into her H&C contract that her stuff needed to be modeled on at least one non-white model for e-comm 
But no one said fashion houses are not using coloured women on their e-commerce pages? We just said white is still the beauty standard. Just like skinny is. I donât think thereâs any denying that... by the way the percentage of the world population that is white does definitely NOT correspond to the percentage of white people that is represented in mainstream media
