The suit looks nice but too big for her, the jumper with the embroidered collar is very cute and I'd totally wear that, although not with those trousers
The outfit with the green sweater and the midi skirt and the one with the blouse and the grey skirt should both be burned

Jesus I didn't even notice the shoes. They look like my grandma's orthopedic shoes (don't know what they're called in English)

why is she posing with a book? she doesn't need to bring the "hey, look at me I read and I have a big dark academia brain" in every single thing she does

So she just randomly walked into a store and they said, oh, let us collab with you right now. Nope. This is why she went to NYC. Straight up. Another lie. The suit looks ridiculous on her. Not a flattering style for her and way too big. Those clunky shoes look ridiculous in every outfit she has worn. The others are passable for her, because they have "The Secret Garden" vibes. Lemme go take a walk into Chanel, just in case, you know, they want to throw some bags at me to pose with. I'm vibing with my Chanel Chance perfume on, so I am sure it will happen. Oh wait, I need to pretend to be someone else first. Let's see....who is on Rugbies list?

I have a picture like that from a private collection that was running on the toy museum of my country. I agree with you, Barbie is the symbol of so many problems but it also give so much fun and inspiration when growing up, and with the upcoming movie my Barbie phase is coming back stronger than ever!

I hope she doesn't post a "Bookish Trip to New York" video, since she was clearly on a "Mooching Trip to New York."

This is hysterical I'd love to know which imaginary friend in particular is blessed enough to be allowed to hear her intimate thoughts about Dickinson because Blakeney sure as hell is not spending a minute of her life to discuss poetry with Rubes.

IMO she went to New York with her family because it's strange that she never mentioned that she was going to New York before and in this Insta story she said that she was with her 7 year old cousin so I presume that she was also with other members of her family. Also I thought she was only going America for 3 weeks however, it feels like she has been there for more than 3 weeks as I thought she would have left by now yet she is still in America.

Everyone here will probably agree that these things - like hiding in a hotel room, being socially awkward, spending an unhealthy amount of time with mommy - are not very good. But I think if only Ruby was honest about them and shared some personal insight into her struggles, we all would respect her so much more. It's not her behavior per se, but it's her fakeness and her lies. Ruby, if you're reading this, it's okay to struggle. But it's not okay to lie.

In 10 years, she will still be studying. She'll do a Masters, then some gap years at home, then a PhD. Give her 15 years.

Yes, the three weeks ended over the weekend. So she definitely has stayed in the US for longer. The clothing line collab, relatives that live here, someone taking pictures. She hasn't been alone all this time. There are tons of people in the Northeast that are originally from England, including my next door neighbours. They are everywhere. It is very typical, so I am not surprised she has family over here and is mooching on them. Nothing she says is the honest truth. Everything is hidden, everything has a lie attached to it. She seems to be doing this more and more. A bad habit to get into as an adult and it won't serve her well.

In all honestly she is doing everything wrong. If she thinks this trip is going to look good on an application for uni or a job, at least in the US this is the exact opposite. Putting your toe into too many things, too diverse, shows you have no focus on a specific interest. Posing for Miss Patina and other clothing lines, making your own tea, having a planner.....none of these relate in any way to being a published author. Journalism, writing for your university year book, literary clubs, readathons, book groups (we all know where that led to), doing reviews for book box subscriptions, working in a bookstore. These are what they will look for if you try for any career or post grad program in literature. Walking through a bookstore and taking a few selfies is useless and something any TikToker or Instagrammer can do. Anyone. You need to specialize in something and show your passion. She is not a book channel, nor Dark or Light Academia, nor CottageCore. She isn't anything. Companies will reach out to the most random people to advertise because commercials on TV just don't exist on most platforms, like Amazon, Netflix and cable channels. I had a big following on Instagram back in the day. I had offers for free jewelry, clothing, books, candles, houseware, you name it. I turned it all down because I didn't want my gram to be about that. So I closed that account and made a private one for friends and family only. I was sick of random companies writing to me every week for some kind of collab or offer. I really don't know where she is going with all of this. Most people who do this end up leaving social media altogether and put this foolery behind them, get married, have kids, have a career. I see her doing this crap until she is grey haired, which, at this rate, will happen sooner than later. Rubes life is a chaotic mess.

I have very mixed feelings about this. I feel like there are so many influencers and celebrities who are out there being all confessional about their struggles and "mental health journey" that it's become meaningless. It's a promotional exercise. Many of them are doing fine enough to be very successful. Not that success and mental health troubles can't co-exist but...I don't know. I guess I'm tired of seeing wealthy, ambitious, successful people put on the mantle of suffering to promote themselves and increase their audience.

In Ruby's case, there's clearly something not good going on with her. But at the same time, she's got the wherewithal to do things that I would never have the brazen confidence to do -- like foist myself on the Emily Dickinson Museum or mooch free stuff at every opportunity. What can you call that? By now, I'm not sure I want to hear her prattling about her struggles. I'll believe she's struggling when she makes an announcement that she's stepping away from social media so that she can focus on her health and her future. That would feel real. But if she were to use her struggles as a launchpad for more crappy content or to build her audience...that would just be opportunistic bullshit.

So she is leaving New York, or rather has already left it, and looks like she is on a train going somewhere. Where the heck is she going now? rofl Her roaming about is rather humorous for someone who couldn't even stay at school for a weekend for 4 years and had to keep running back to Mommy and Daddy. She is so bizarre.

I don't think she has an articulated opinion about her poetry at all.
I think she likes the kind of lifestyle Emily Dickinson lived and who she was as a person rather than her poetry.

Exactly. Sorry if someone already pointed this out in the thread, but I just saw her Amily Deck-in-sun video and she emphasized the fact that at one point Amily was staying right down the hallway from her mother. Guess she was trying to use that as a justification for being Jost Loike Amily.

I'll give her one thing... I'm almost impressed she has at least been on trains and gone to NY rather than just stay in that initial B&B.
