She said they had trouble with her payments (yes, payments) going through. I assumed she used multiple cards to make the purchase.
That’s embarassing. It’s understandable when your bank needs to check that you genuinely used the card for a large purchase but multiple cards?? Reeks of someone living on credit. And for someone so ‘rich’ I’m surprised she doesn’t have an Amex Platinum or Black card. But she probably wouldn’t qualify anyway nor would she be willing to pay the annual fee. I’m guessing credit scores for her and Ali can’t be great with the mortgage and cars on hire purchase.

I'm waiting for the big video... We have been robbed worst year of my life (remember Ali doesn't matter).

And then the big insurance claim goes in and she can start her collection all over again

I don’t think you truly appreciate the hard work put in by Lydia. She needed so much self care following those exhausting calls. This is Lydia remember to her this is real effort usually her minions would make such a call.

How is this not the most adorable thing you ever seen?!? LOL totally get it though. Dogs don’t need coats and they certainly don’t need an entire wardrobe

He/she IS adorable! I just can't get on board with the sweater, sorry. I actually think it makes them really uncomfortable, but you know your dog best and I'm sure you would never cause him any discomfort. What a sweet fluffy face

Something is very fishy with sellierknightsbridge...it just doesn’t make sense, the high amount of stock they have and the prices they sell for. It too many bags for very low prices (considering it’s a birkin).
somethings is not right here....

Or she is very devious, post a pic, see how fast its posted on Tattle look at who viewed the stories block them for being the screenshot taker..
I saw her “young man splayed on his back” stories within 2 mins (I just happened to be there at the right time). Screenshotted and blocked her immediately so she couldn’t see my username and try to match it up #smartsnooping

This is 100% true. I spent a large proportion of my childhood in France as the war in Lebanon meant we were spread out all over the place. My Iranian grandmother was exiled in Paris and she was a massive influence too. Ostentatious displays of wealth are definitely frowned upon. Showing off is vulgar. French women tend to invest in timeless classic peices and have less but better quality. I have three beautiful handbags that cost a small fortune but I love them and use them all the time. My husband is from Oman and absolutely hates flashiness. He won't even wear anything with a logo. The funny thing is though, wherever we go people LOVE him because he's gorgeous to everyone. His manners are perfect and he's treated with love and respect because of his behaviour not because of how much cash he flashes. These two really need to learn a thing or two about life in general. My husband says that if you're an asshole to people when you're on the way up, no one will help you when you're on the way down and Lydia and Ali's gravy train will reach its final destination at some stage. They'll get older and people will lose interest because youth is everything in the influencer world. That's when Lydia will lose it completely as her identity and self esteem is completely defined by people being envious of her. She has no class, and that's completely fine. Just don't pretend that you do because people in the know can see right through it.

Or one could take screen shot, edit photo to block out our username and post it on tattle. She won’t be able to tell who it is. We’ll always be able to outsmart dum dum chlamydia !

First of all why does Ali’s mouth seem weird when he talks on his stories? He seems abit lispy? Maybe not lispy but something seemed different- as though his mouth is full of saliva or something?!
I can’t work it out but it was making me feel abit I swear he never used to speak like that. Was quite distracting!He seems like a totally different bloke to what he was years ago. They have both become so detached from the real world- it’s like they are two kids playing at being adults. They put on their fancy dress outfits (aka tweed jackets and hunting attire) and just sit around the house. I mean- that is not normal! The photo of Lidl in her boot cupboard sorry boot room, with those boots on made me howl. Who does that? The boots didn’t have a scrap of mud on. If she was really country they would be knee deep in mud.
then they go and sit in their set designed rooms that smell of pretend cigars and pretend they are the lords and ladies of downtown. They never switch the oven on except to heat a pizza up and they just take videos of themselves talking about what they want to buy and be gifted next. It’s so bizarre and no one can relate to this utter bullshit. It’s actually scary!
They have both lost the plot completely. I used to love watching them as two young, attractive people starting off in life with lots of interests and a hunger to want more but to work hard for it. I remember Lidl being so proud of her little closet in her room and so proud of her house that she had put so much effort into. She seemed natural and easy natured then. Ali seemed like your normal electrician that you could have a beer and a laugh with! But now they are both so very..... odd.
Money and success has changed them. And it’s not for the better, they have totally lost themselves. I really can’t see their influence lasting much longer because they really are not relatable in the slightest! Who wants to come home after a long shift and watch these two prize idiots playing dress up?!! It’s so embarrassing now!

I know there are people on here who don't like inthefrow, I think she is ok, I have watched a few things of hers and my opinion has always been that she is far more talented, a more likeable person and a few other things, than Lydiot. I have only just this minute discovered her website with her recipes and other bits and pieces and hells bells she soooo puts Lydiot to shame even more so now.
What does Lydiot do??
And I know we all say this and I have said it before too but seriously now, Victoria is producing content, she is giving advice, what do we get from 'shit for brains' apart from look at me me me.
I looked up those stupid glasses she was wearing, they are apparently to help with watching a computer screen, so my thought is with all this help you have Lydiot why in the hell are you looking at a computer screen sooo much.
What value added does she give to her followers? They haven't even seen the dog yet. I personally have no desire to see her dog, she could have adopted a skunk for all I care but what the feck is she doing hiding him away. All that waffle about letting him settle in, do followers actually believe that tripe?? She must be letting him get bigger so she cant be accused of taking him too early from his mum. Surely any other serious blogger would be making content about a new dog coming into a household, how to handle it, what is needed etc. Blah blah blah, I am sure I have already said most of this, it was just seeing Victorias web site that got me stirred up again over Lydiot's lack of everything. Vent vent vent.

Totally agree with the "don't be an asshole on the way up" sentiment. Lidl and Aldi could learn a thing or two from this post right here.

Same here in Italy .. it is a type of credit but it comes out on the 15th of every successive month ... so if I used it now I would have to make sure the money was there to pay it off on the 15th Feb. So it is like a credit/debit
We also have strict debit cards in Europe too that work the same as any other debit card but the credit cards that they have in the UK means you can run up bills forever and just make minimum payments each month and some people have 5 or 6 of them making minimum payments of maybe 40 GBP and running up 1000's in debt .. I much prefer the EU way so you never get into debt .. you buy what ytou can afford..far more sensible.

I have spent the last few years living in Oman, my husband was teaching there and I have to say that the Omanis are the loveliest people, very kind and considerate so I can well imagine people loving your hubby, I miss Oman
I can't see how people could even begin to imagine Lydiot or Ali are anything but walking advertisements, dumbos playing at dressing up, watching them now, especially Ali is actually getting embarrassing.

Totally agree, I liked her in the beginning. She seemed really sweet, there was chemistry between her and Ali, her vlogs were actually pretty short and varied because she was out LIVING and having fun and it was infectious. I wanted to be like her. I'm not privileged at all, I'm working class, managed to go to uni and have a stable career as a secondary school teacher... Not boujee whatsoever but it has allowed me to buy a 2 up 2 down house and have cash free for holidays and save up for the occasional treat. I'm never gonna own a chanel but with hard work I hope to be able to save for a YSL shoulder bag for my 30th which I will love and cherish. I used to love that she rewore clothes, it was clear she loved every item she saved for, and I loved her house. I loved her hair. I won't lie... Back around 2016 I liked pretty much everything about her and thought she was a breath of fresh air. I think that's why I'm so bitter now, it feels like losing a friend.

There is absolutely no trace of that girl left. I think things between her and Ali have died a death. She's clearly starving herself and unhappy. And exacerbating it all is the fact she does absolutely nothing with her days but sit in her own thoughts and scroll tattle. I'm finding this lockdown particularly hard. I have low mood in my working week anyway from time to time, but after Friday night drinks or a shopping spree in London, I feel a million times better. But now in lockdown the tools to help relieve the low mood have been taken from me and its just getting worse and worse and worse. I tell you what though, it's a real insight into how these influencers live their lives pre pandemic, particularly Lydia who hasn't been a fan of even a press trip for a while now. Just so depressing, insular and lonely. No wonder she's lost sight of herself. Clearly there are money worries as well bubbling away.... She should sell up and move to a £600,000 detached 4/5 bed in a nice area. Much more obtainable, relatable and might spare her some stress. Plus she'll have way more disposable income to butcher all the interiors all over again. She carries on like she is at the moment she's gonna get knocked from her perch. At least my way she can pretend it was a leap.

That is not Lydia's bag, that is a Kelly they are selling.

Sellier do seem to be getting a very high volume of bags and clothes to sell, maybe it is because of the pandemic people are having a clear out and selling things they don't use, or can't afford to keep. They must work on a lower margin than other re-sellers.

I don’t know anything about private banking but don’t all the really rich bank with Coutts?
It says on google that Coutts customers need at least £500,000 in cash or £5m in assets to open an account with them. They’ll need one of these cards to flash around at Soho Farmhouse.

I would to know Claire’s views on Sellier. If I was going to purchase a preloved Hermes I would definitely contact Claire on the off chance she would reply & provide some feedback to see what her views were. She seems a bit of an expert.

I don't understand how Sellier or Lydia can get away with saying her Birkin is brand new 2020 never used. I just watched Claire's first Birkin unboxing to compare and even though they are different sizes and leathers and this affects how the bag looks, you just can see how a real new Birkin looks, and it clearly is not how Lydia's does...
I don't know if it's Sellier or Lydia who's lying, but If I was her I'd be more transparent about it. Maybe it's true and it hasn't been used but it's been stored incorrectly for a while and that's why it looks a bit saggy, but anyway, I would have talked about it instead of insisting constantly on the fact that's 'brand new never worn'.
