Leonora Smee

[ella1979]

It’s just strange to keep harping on about a wedding from 2 summers ago she comes across as a little girl who played dress up for the day and was heaped with attention. Imagine being a married woman and still living at home with your much older husband. Everywhere they go mum and dad come too in the Bentley it’s like she’s chaperoned by them…. I feel like saying “grow up”. Her page gets more and more smug with each passing day. And as for filming the singers and the band at Maine in Mayfair… I cringe for you.

I totally get what you are saying and to some extent I agree. I think the thing is, her dads loaded and its typical in these situations for the parents to retain a lot of control. They will probably know marks every move, hes relying on them for inheritance, cushy life, amazing holidays, free housing, food, cars etc etc the life Leonora is given is also his life too. They can't see him without unless they put a stop to their own daughters lifestyle which they aren't going to do. I bet Mark is very much under the family thumb.The mother will be happy to be so close to her daughter and Mark has the lifestyle in return for a claustrophobic in law situation.

We never know whether it is money marks after .... I think Leonora is very attractive and a wife to be proud of, successful at equestrian sport etc. She is probably very spoilt and used to having her own way.

I like her, but the wedding thing is so annoying!. I think a lot of men wouldn't want her as a wife, purely because they can't call the shots. Daddy will always call the shots, not the husband. It takes a certain type of mouse/man to be ok with that .

I think its a cushy life for Leonora although not sure to what extent she can see that given as its her normal. I wouldn't want to be mark though.

It looks like her husband was born in 1983 (according to his Insta handle) so that would make him 38/39. I think they started dating when she was 19 (although they first met when she was 16) - making him 31/32, which is a massive age gap at that age! It’s creepy to think of man in his early thirties dating a teenager! Gross.

Yep I knew she was on her family’s farm. Just didn’t know where. Thanks! One other question: Would Josie and Lydia also be jealous of the location? They are so far up Cotswold a$$ despite not living there but I’m not sure how it compares to Henley area. Either way Leo’s family plot is gorgeous and enviable. I tend to agree that she’s probably more genuine than spoiled (I mean behavior wise spoiled..,she’s clearly privileged). I’ll tell you way; despite us only seeing an edited version of her life I don’t get the sense that her friends or family are ever annoyed at her. Mark genuinely seemed neutral to happy driving her into London her hungover state the morning after his birthday party. Can you imagine the disdain that would be on Ali G’s face with drunk Lydiot?!? And the shortness with which both Charlie and Josie regard each other.

Henley / etc is way more expensive than the Cotswolds , land is at such a premium with it being commuter belt for London .

Lydia has chosen a nicely situated home but sadly it’s within an area I don’t think Josie or Leonora would be envious of . Lydia is in the least desirable area . Leonora the most .

Leonora is SL7 . Really nice area

I agree re mark . Although I’m really not sure how seriously he takes her social media profile.

He took the mick twice out of her in the flower show vlog .

I don’t know why she wants to even vlog if I’m honest. I know Lydia earnt a lot through doing it (albeit sue git in at a time of huge growth) and Leo says she wants to find her own rolls Royce but really she has everything she could dream of unless she just wants fame?.

Leo’s mum kept an unusually low profile in the flower show vlog I wonder why ..

 

[WatchReelCopyReel]

Isn't this the 3rd time she's sick this year ?


Yes, I feel like her vocabulary is quite limited. It's always the same expression, the same words, on repeat.

Those dresses were really pretty but looked very matronly. I guess thats just her style and I still have to get used to it.
---
Also she thinks she's creating "content that has never been done before"... erhm.

Still loving Leo but agreed w all of this. Also, I’m sorry but it was so gross how much she went out whilst being visibly unwell.

 

[Azibi]

don't know why but I feel tonights vlog was a bit underwhelming. Maybe because I enjoy her home content/seeing the food/decorated tables more. Looking forward to seeing the Chelsea flower show vlog next though

Agreed! I feel like she made far less of her husbands 40th then she does of some of her events. Leaving his present until the last minute didn't seem as though she prioritises him.

I hope she got him a watch as he couldn't have dropped a bigger hint....

'I don't want an experience, I want something I can look at every day and treasure'

 

[ella1979]

Old fashioned French roll bouffant do’s featuring in Barbados .

she’s at a friends wedding along with her family who have chaperoned her .

her and mark never seem to go anywhere alone together

they are back tommorrow

 

[mustbeuni]

Oh so Marcus has gone off to Switzerland now …. Never together!

Greasebob !

Needs to upgrade. Dads isn’t getting his money’s worth. How is mark finding the time to supervise a foreign house remodel and a career

 

[kale-supremacist]

How very Lydia Millen of her.....

 

[Azibi]

Her kitchen/diner is stunning, the table looked perfect. I'd love to see more of her house

 

[WatchReelCopyReel]

Good on her for getting a professional shoot pulled together. That pink dress is a travesty though.
---

Does she have implants? It looks like it (though a good job) in the magenta gown.

Leo should wear a red lip all the time if she’s going to style her hair the way she does. Looks way better as a full vintage look.

 

[ella1979]

I wish Leo wouldn’t use such strong filters on her stories . The one she’s using makes noses absolutely tiny

meanwhile her parents gardens are lovely !

 

[ella1979]

I’m

Completely distracted through the whole vlog by her missing nail.
Who hosts an event with a missing nail

Also, I wish she would stop with the 'Spectacular, amazing, out-of-this world, incredible, Tivon brochure'. A brochure isn't a gift for a goody bag?!

Awful re the nail!.

She’s so self centred she probably thinks people will tear the pages out of the booklet and frame them . A joke really when a lot of the audience at the event will be better looking than she is. She really backs herself it’s hilarious.

She is very mature looking for a twenty something. She’s going on mid forties imo . I doubt she will age well. She is the image of her mum and look at what happened to the mums appearance in a very short space of time .

Leo needs to get over herself.

 

[ella1979]

She must not be making much from views and affiliate links. I’m guessing letting her clothes go out for hire is expected to be easy money. But I have to ask do people often bleed in their clothes? Sweated in or makeup/fake tan stains I can absolutely see but bleeding seems extreme tbh. Also would they not be laundered before going out? I do know plenty of wealthy people in my area (Santa Barbara, Montecito, Santa Ynez) that do Rent the Runway so much. Which was shocking to find out. But the clothes get laundered /properly cleaned in between. Allegedly.
---

I think maybe she would be less self absorbed if she dumped the leeching, greasy uggo and found someone to make her happy or better yet worked on herself to be happy by herself.

I hired a dress from MY Wardrobe Co who Leonora has rented from herself and she was paid to advertise them. It arrived in SUCH a mess. It had blood on the lining, makeup stains, grass stains on the hem , and a small hole!. It stank of
perfume . couldn’t wear it .

I think women’s period accidents are a big risk yes . The blood on the dress I received was further down the leg so maybe that wasn’t period blood.

periods vary and many women have heavy ones which can be a problem.

I bought a dress from Harvey nicks and it was brand new but arrived stinking of perfume. I wanted to keep it because I couldn’t find another elsewhere it was the last one. I hung it in the sun for 4 days and it still stank of perfume so I dry cleaned it and although that removed a lot of smell it continues to have a faint whiff of it !
She isn’t short of cash because her dad is wealthy . She must be nuts if she actually is sending clothes for rent .

 

[Lotster]

It is SUCH a bizarre set up. Do we ever see Mark's parents or family? When they all travel together, or go to an event together and Leonora says "Mummy is here......Daddy is here.......Marcus is here" and I just think why don't they want some indepedence?!?! To me, even though she is married, she is emotionally very, very immature. Surely Mark must find it all claustrophobic and find them all (especially his wife) totally over the top about everything. How can you get SO excited about everything ALL the time. It totally takes away the meaning of it. When is she NOT excited?

 

[Lotster]

I started watching her videos a week or so ago and although I find her insufferably over the top, extravagant, showy and annoying, I somehow can't stop watching. There is a certain charm to her BUT I suppose it's just I cannot get over the fact she is only 27 or 28!!! Everything about the way she looks, dresses, speaks and behaves makes me think she could easily pass for late 30's. I just cannot imagine being like that at such a young age. I also can't quite believe she exists. She's such a caricature of an over the top, horsey posh girl!

 

[ella1979]

The hair curler and Charlotte Tilbury make up routine is getting SO boring. Pretty much every vlog starts with her in rollers, doing her "contouring" and telling us just what an amazing and exciting day she has lined up.

Her vlogs are like she is - getting old fast!

 

[mindlessness]

Nipped over from the Lydia thread ... Glad to see Leonora has a thread, but she's so boring (like Leonie) that I predict one will last for ages!! I followed Leonora for a while but unfollowed her due to her boring wedding posts, creepy looking husband and constant holiday snaps . Nothing interesting or unique about her content and her "country style" has already been done to death by Josie and everyone's favourite Country Grandmother, Lydia. Let's see if she manages to spend her way to a loyal audience!!

I also thought she was in her late 30's at the very least. I seriously cannot believe she's in her 20's. I'm in my 40's and thought she was probably near to my age!!

I think the difference for me at least with Leonora is that she IS actually a country girl (or rather, a horse girl). Whereas obvs with Josie and Lydia there is more cosplay involved. I too find Leonora rather a dull follow though!

 

[breakfastatvancleefs]

yes that's quite a claim isn't it!.

Going out whilst sick and mixing with people at a lunch is the height of bad manners. But then I wouldn’t imagine airhead Leonora has any notion of this. Boasting of being out whilst ill is so socially unacceptable now.
Also can we stop the inspirational quotes and Independent Woman circa 2001 claptrap. Somebody who lives in their parent’s guest house and is financed by their parents money isn’t independent. Her husband hasn’t got a brass farthing according to companies house. I’m surprised she has the audacity to post that it’s completely offensive to people who pay their own way.

Woah, I thought that while house was thiers not the parents, interesting

No. That house belongs to her parents. I know it it’s in Hambledon near Henley on Thames the village and church is used in a lot of television dramas. I once asked Leonora who owned the house and she very honestly told me it was her parents and she and her husband temporarily lived in their guest house whilst they were house hunting. But that was 2 years ago. You didn’t really think a kid in her 20s bought a large detached house on an estate with grounds and outbuildings and filled it with antiques near Henley on Thames? Even a modest house there can cost north of £1m.

 

[Queenie_cake]

That orchard was incredible and so is the garden! though someone should really buy her a thesaurus so she can use other words besides beautiful and amazing.

 

[kale-supremacist]

absolutely re jaw!

what a strange comment. I’m not certain which way to take it but I think she’s trying to insult her idk

I know, i found it strange too! Especially now that I've seen what she's talking about, the hairdresser blended her roots, and she had a few tones going on all over her hair, which makes it less dated than the one dimensional bleached blonde. It's actually quite nice; a bit too yellow for her complexion, but as she said "of course" she's a natural blonde
She looks like a beautiful well conserved older woman in her trench. I have to fast forward, it's been 10 minutes of her rambling about the coat.

I think she might be addressing this thread...
I already had my suspicion about her putting dimension in her hair..
And now she's saying that she changed trousers for the drive, "because there's nothing worse than wrinkled trousers" - which I'm sure one of you ladies pointed out very recently

I mean, if you're reading this, please Leonora, enough with the nose contour, it's aging you !! I already posted this in another thread, but truly makeup can make it or break it

Take a shot everytime she says "vibes"


I hope she doesn't do a Victoria.. You're not working with Armani, you're working with Armani BEAUTY
