Leo selling me HC better than Lydia and Josie ever did, she looks gorgeous in that first frame



3 things:
- she really needs to work on her (overly affected) posing
- her music choices are always cheesy/out dated/plain boring
- the reels are way too long if it's just about her gazing at the camera

another lovely vlog. She needs a microphone and one of those big fluffy microphones which attach to the camera to reduce noise, the segment on the boat was inaudible.

Love how Leo has Holland Cooper resort wear to vlog but Lydia doesn't!

Sigh, the return of that offensive nose contour. Who still contours with bronzer 😭 .
I also dislike the overlined lips.
I really don't want to give HC my money, but these dresses are perfect for summer garden party and 100% silk 👀👀.
I've been checking the HC instagram to see if they will feature her on their main page... as of now I couldn't see her.

Their holiday house is so pretty. Is this one the one shared with their parents or another one ? I'm half way through the vlog, I'll come back when I'm done

Can you imagine little Lydia in those dresses ? She would drown in it.
Agreed !! We couldn't hear a thing, and it's too bad for the product she was advertising.

I'm intrigued to know how it works, do brands like HC/Tivon pay for her to shoot out in places like Mallorca (do they pay for all the travel, photogropher, shoot locations etc) or does she just get paid a flat fee and then uses that money to fund it all?

She does a really good job of getting interesting content even if she is over-the-top and super enthusiastic about everything

She's always been the Tivon "égérie" (brand ambassador ? Not sure) since she started youtube, she was already featured on their website.

I think she has used her own money to bankroll this venture and has been noticed /asked for sponsors to give clothes for shoots etc. I would imagine Tivon have paid her to appear on their website, probably gifted her a piece and the rest is on a loan which is common place with fine jewellery companies. Sometimes the person has to even sign a loan agreement which is ripped up on return of items. I think HC have gifted her items to feature which she will keep. I think her travel costs and makeup/production will be her own bill but she's paying it forward to see what sponsorships she can get.

She's an incredible cook if she got that far with her cooking competition. I do suspect the salmon en croutes were bought in ! . It would of been much easier for a day like that to of been catered.

She also has all the best social outings the Leander club henley regatta isnt easy to gain access to, good wood GRRC members only is a waitlist situation, she does everything with style and taste. I don't know about green dresses but Josie must be green allover with envy!

The Mallorca property would be worth many millions and again, they have the right idea choosing something so close to what id say is the best hotel in Mallorca the Belmond with its spa services. I would imagine they must have permanent live in staff to care for the Mallorca place.

Her Van Cleef earring collection is worth a bit too, they won't give anything to an influencer. Her lifestyle would add up to a fortune yearly . Its refreshing to see someone like her doing this "job" when she doesn't have to do it for money.

I agree, she's clearly being doing this for a long time, but not on public display. She has that connection with the hotel we saw during vlogmas. She had to organize an event for their VIP clients. It seems that she's been doing Luxury with Leonora for a while too.

I feel like her "job" would be thriving regardless of her platform or not. As you said, she has the connexion and the access. She also photographs nicely and has a very likable personality.
Can't believe we owe Josie for Leonora starting her social media journey, but eh, even Josie has good ideas from time to time.

What ive thought all along is that Leonora offered J a wedge of cash to feature her on her channel, she probably sent a video of herself and her home/parties and suggested it . I am guessing Josie assumed she isnt a threat because she had no media following . I know perhaps its a stab in the dark but this was how I guessed it all went.

Im guessing she hasn't invested in Tivon?. She is stunning and does a great job but normally jewellery companies (Ive witnessed first hand how Boodles do this) go and make a model casting with a large selection of models and whittle them down. She isnt a model signed to an agency so this is a bit of a mystery unless its a company the family have invested I, or shes bought items and got in with them or has contacts through daddy which leads me on to saying, I don't think she was doing much before in this line, I think there's a bit of smoke and mirrors to make people believe shes experienced and there's a lot of either paying her own way and making things happen to get going / using daddy's contacts.

Im not sure when her riding career ended but she was top of her tree international winning Showjumper. If she ended that then maybe had the wedding and now put her mind to this? idk?

What I also wonder is how will she gain a lot of major traction from here. I think shes a bit niche, this thread is a good example of the fact. I think the girls who have made it to huge following are either girls next door or relatable / chavs!. If im open with my thoughts id say this country is mostly quite chavvy. A trip to the nearest airport confirms this.

Leo is from top stock and isnt as relatable to a lot of people. I like her for that but I think it could be an obstacle when it comes to numbers following.

Mm, I'm gonna have to disagree here.
I think Leo has been doing consulting for a few years and that she never really thought about influencing. People who do that kind of work, or set up exclusive luxury shopping days are more or less doing it as a hobby. A lucrative hobby, but truly, it's still a hobby.
Josie admitted, and Leonora stated it several times, that it was Josie who convinced her to launch her YouTube channel. Leo is more shy and reserved and she was really scared of people's reaction to it.
I don't Leo paid for anything, be Josie or getting brand deals. She had brand deals with brands that she already had an existing relationship with. I just think she's well connected and her small scale luxury conciergerie made her network.
She's been announced as the Tivon ambassador in 2021 apparently (went through their instagra to find it)


From going through her instagram, I see that's she been shooting editorials and ads sporadically even during her competition days.

This was for a gown designer that still exists:

This was for herself, Luxury by Leonora, apparently she sold cachemire at some point

These were for brands that don't exist and/or photoshoot without credit to a magazine/brand

(I didn't try to look for any of the brand, like iso_luxury on Google or anything, I'm too lazy)

As for your last point, I don't think she needs to make it big. Her niche is exclusivity and luxury, so as long as it hits her target audience, she doesn't need much more.

Food for thought!

although I’m not sure she’s shy! Both from how she is on camera and reading this old article

I don't think Chloe Winstanley would of been hired by both Boodles and by the wedding gown company , its too much of a co-incidence.

I can't find any traces of her being listed with a modelling agency. I suspect she may of been, but not top end one , shes tall but depending on when the boobs were done shes not runway/fashion shes more commercial to glamour. Daddy wouldn't of allowed glamour im sure !...

There are deleted results from when anyone could request under EU law to have things removed which affects their life negatively going forward , That's something since we left Europe my understanding is we cannot request removals anymore . Makes me wonder what was removed

Update! so Chloe Winstanley is mostly a wedding Photogragher who also shot leonoras wedding..........

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....

On Leos Youtube someone has left a pretty scathing comment about her put on super posh accent. The dad sounds like a Londoner to me (not a posh one) the mum I can't place accent wise, southern somewhere id guess. I wonder where Leo got her accent from. I just re-watched an old vlog of hers in majorca where the dad says to her mum that she looks "like the dogs in that dress" meaning like the dogs balls 😂 nt exactly what id expect to hear at the table with Leo at Olivio restaurant (her mums 60th).

I wonder how long she spent in Usa and whereabouts

Some of the Amaffi perfumes are £6,000 gbp a bottle. I love a nice perfume but that is just crazy.

I’d be very surprised if Monica from Yorkshire can either influence her followers to buy it or afford it herself. Meanwhile Leonora is a creed customer
