I love the blue stripey Miss Patina dress but if I went to work wearing that and pigtails and a boater hat my colleagues would be having words with me. I think the long pigtails look does not help Ruby seem her age at the minute.

Miss Patina clothes are really expensive for what they are. I bought a few pieces and sent them because because their sizing is odd and the quality doesn't reflect the hefty price tag
I've not yet managed to order anything, just been following their instagram for a while, but this is good to know, thank you. I hate buying something to find the quality is poor.
I just expected more for the amount of money that I spent. I bought a cardigan which was an odd fit and it felt as though it had shrunk in the wash. The texture of the material was really, really odd. I also bought a blouse which was, again, a very strange fit - far too short and the collar was really tight. Tbh, it made me feel large.
Yes the prices are shocking, although I like the style of the brand generally. Unfortunately my usual strategy of looking for second hand on EBay hasn't got me anywhere as there is literally nothing from MP on there!
I don't know how that would be relevant. She does live in the countryside but she has fairly easy access to a train station at her will. Neither of her parents seem to have strict, away from home schedules, they can drive her when she wishes and she doesn't need a car in uni to socialize anyway. I guess it will depend on how her life will unfold after uni.

is it just me wondering why she hasn't moved back to uni yet as most student housing leases start at the beginning of July
Mine didn’t, we had to pay half rent for July and August and then could move into our house in September, most of the other unis I’ve seen/been too are the same so this might be the case or she’s saving more money by being at home?
I don‘t think Ruby would choose to go back earlier than absolutely necessary . Afterall she came home pretty often.
I love Ruby and I'm really impressed and inspired with her work ethic. One thing I can never understand tho is how she manages to film these "productive day with no sleep videos", when I have a sleepless night I'm literally a zombie during the day. I must be really out of shape to have my whole day ruined if I don't get my sleep lol
When I went to uni I'd move back the weekend before term started, so early - mid sept even though my rent started in August and I was paying for it. My housemates also moved in around sept time too
I always like to think when she say's something like 'i spent the last hour and a half having lunch but I didn't film it' it's actually her having a nap
yeah, i do think that we have to take some videos as aspirational. We don't know what she does when she isn't filming. But also, I don't see a problem in that because she is, in essence, a form of entertainment and entertainment is about intriguing/aspirational/interesting stories and sometimes exaggeration.When I went to uni I'd move back the weekend before term started, so early - mid sept even though my rent started in August and I was paying for it.

Literally everything she does has to be "productive" though. I really think it wouldn't hurt her to relax a little bit and take a break more often (Holly Gabrielle as well) without having to necessarily check it off on a list, especially when she hasn't slept the night before. I don't always think she leaves a very good impression. At least she's stopped doing the 14 hour study with me but I still think she focuses too much on being looked on as this very productive person she's created. I like the video she did on self-care as I think that showed she's come to realise the importance of it but she still needs to learn to relax more and stop scheduling herself so much. It's good she's seeing a therapist and I hope these things get brought up.
i've also realised that she's not posting as many videos as before? which i think is better for her mental health
I did once comment (politely) asking why productivity was so important. There is something very Late Capitalism about measuring your entire life, even your free time, by what you produce from it. Not everything good in life is measurable.
You'd think with all those beautiful handwritten notes she makes about theory something might have clicked
I’ve always wondered why she changed degrees from philosophy/theology to English. I know she loves reading but she doesn’t seem very passionate about the actual literature, more the idea of being someone who likes books. At alevel she always seemed more passionate about RS, doing more extra reading and essays. I think she’s gone entirely down the wrong path and will regret it later. You can just see how she talks about books shows her thoughts on English - like “the cover of this book is just beautiful” but not talking much about the actual literature and her critical thoughts on the books she’s reading.
She did a whole vlog on this but I came away none the wiser.
