And the color doesn't stand out. I don't get why she does this. You're making money off your followers clicking and buying, own it. A lot of influencers will say in the stories "If you click you're helping me out" or "I make a tiny commission off each purchase, so thank you." It's usually only like $1-2 , but if you have a hundred or more people buy, it adds up.

Am I late to noticing or has Sofie always has the "send a gift" button on her stories to send financial support? WTH?

And she says yet again she hasn't left the house in days. 🙄 Between birthday parties in Milano, massages etc, of course.

Yeah, I think she wants to be the people who can say they have lived in Italy a decade but she’s being dishonest about it.



I get it, Italy is disorganized and nothing works the way things seemingly should, everything is unnecessarily complicated, but these kind of complaints feel like… idk, something you vent to a friend about and forget a few hours later or at the most in an IG story, not stuff you post on TikTok for it to just sit there forever.. I always got the vibe that her mom is a Karen and I think Sofie totally has a Karen side to her. It’s showing.
If she really lived here over a decade--like me-- she'd know not to leave the house if a delivery is due around 10. It might come at 9. Pay attention, Sofie. Organize your cushy life differently. Side note but related...this is why Esselunga supermarket has trouble keeping home delivery drivers. People schedule blocks like "10-12" but if the guys pass at 9:30 they find nobody answering. Sure it's a little early, but does Sofie know what a shitty job it is for these workers to DRIVE AROUND CITIES , FIRENZE, especially?? Looking for Karens like herself (I agree with the label lol) bc then they have to still deliver to others, trying to keep decent time, but then back track for all the non responses. I mentioned Esselunga BC I know their drivers now and they're so grateful I'm understanding and have told me how brutal it is going round and round. I imagine most couriers are this way. It's annoying but girl, you have a newly renovated apt which only took 8 months, custom fittings, multiple AC splits, you don't actually work aside from your social media hustle and "consulting." STFU.

Probably a southern Italian thing, or maybe general depending on the couple. I've known couples to wear rings while fidanzati, most were meridionali, hence my guess.

That's really weird accusing someone of copying her lol. 🤦😂😂

Oh I noticed she had a cleaning woman but I had never heard her explain it! I wonder what people round their way think of her.
I wonder what the suocera thinks, she doesn't have a job, doesn't do housework etc. If I had a partner like this my friends/family wouldn't exactly be impressed

Ah I see, on her reel. On my phone it shows up at the bottom (where yours has the location tag) and you kind of have to scroll over to see the option to send a gift.

None of these influencers need gifts!!


"Instagram gifts are automatically turned on for creators who are eligible.

You can turn off gifts at any time in your Professional Dashboard. Here you will find the option to Allow gifts on reels, which you can use to turn on or off gifting on all your reels. In addition, if you want to turn gifts off for a particular reel, you can click advanced settings when creating a reel and toggle off Allow gifts on this reel."

I'm curious about Dario too, also since he is a chef lol. Also, I get cravings too. I get it. I buy random things like Pringles once in a while. But she seems to actually prefer all this junk? Or maybe part of it is playing to her audience.

Random: I saw NonstopParis in someone's IG stories. Didn't she sometimes come hang out in Rome with Sofie and Zoe? Am I thinking of someone else?

And again. Not Kacie at a dinner with Italians, just sitting there and saying "Wowwwwww" (which I hate), while captioning she's intimidated by the lang/conversation. Lol.
If being surrounded by Italians and not really able to participate in conversations isn't enough to motivate her to improve her Italian quickly what is? When I moved there I spoke a handful of sentences (although I spoke Spanish so could understand quite a lot) but within a few months I could speak pretty fluently and say what I wanted and be understood (albeit still with loads of mistakes) just because I purposely lived and surrounded myself by people j spoke Italian to. she reminds me so much of an American colleague I had when I lived there

It should have been an opportunity to prove people who say she can't speak it wrong. Lol. And yeah, people are forgiving of mistakes. Just try.

Imagine having to constantly defend your job because people have no idea what you do
---
Her volume and everything, she’s really worked up about this
---
Im watching her video about how she met her boyfriend and she said they went on vacation for twenty days together and then he asked her to move in with him in Italy
---
He is a friend of a friend and apparently wanted to go on this vacation just to meet her. Wtf?
Yeah, I thought the same thing. I briefly mentioned this a few (many? lol) pages back somewhere, but the whole thing is just crazy to me. His asking (and I can just imagine that very serious convo /s) for me is 🚩🚩🚩 It's giving Kylie vibes in that the honeymoon phase will eventually end.

P.S. oh THAT video. I found it really offensive and completely unrealistic. She should know that everyone isn't a figlia di papà and can "just invent something." Also she reeks of boomer-esque individualism with the "If you just work hard enough you to can..." BS.

Exactly, like Zoey saying “where am I off to next?”… you’re just fishing for engagement

Sorry again to derail this thread (maybe this just needs to be annoying italian/American influencers) but the latest pasinis youtube is so awkward to watch. I had never seen any of their youtube before but I can literally imagine that their conversations in restaurants etc are just silent. It's so.weird. they have no chemistry

And is Kacie trying to branch out into makeup? What's with the "Italian MU" questions? She's obviously going to get a huge variety of answers since it depends on generations, location etc. It seems to me she's familiar with US beauty influencers, but not Italian ones (go figure). So she can't compare the everyday Florentine women she sees out to like, Jaclyn Hill or that Mikayla woman from the mascara scandal. Lol

Agree, it is pretty much paying to spend time with them.

And I know I am a stickler for rules lol, but it annoys me because it's a way around being a tour "guide." A licensed guide position is almost impossible to obtain. (I'm not sure if Emilio is. Do you know @moronglace ?) But these companies create these "host" positions or whatever. I know there are actual guides on Kacie's tours, but let's be honest-- the people go for her and listen to her.
Not sure if he’s a licensed guide. I assume he works for EF Tours which is where they both worked before when they met.

He's gross. I hadn't seen that tik Tok before. And I always assumed she was a dual citizen but I caught this reply to a comment.

"@italianlife:Im half Italian so I have birth right but never had an Italian passport so I have a family visa xx "

I'm convinced she's got a contract with the FS. Now she's randomly going to the gym there? You know, the one only for hotel guests rather than a traditional gym. Girl, stop faking.

Or maybe it's a costly personal training sesh? Lol.

Btw, I notice that unlike Kacie(!) and many other Firenze expats, Sofie has said zilch about voting and the future of women's rights in the US. Same for Danae Mercer, which tells me everything I need to know about their beliefs. Danae seems to be a coward and painfully ignorant, but Sofie smacks me as a "both sides are bad" type. 🙄

If I missed Sofie's Instastory about voting please let me know.
I definitely wouldn't be surprised if she either doesn't vote or votes republican. Didn't she follow some really far right Trump supporters a while back?

Sofie has a new vlog. Another "day in my life" deal which she tagged as a paid promotion. I understand anyone can have body hang-ups. We all see and scrutinize our own perceived flaws more than anyone else does. Nonetheless, it's hard to relate to Sofie lamenting her own appearance when she has a body Victoria's Secret models could envy. I remember she stopped doing the Danae Mercer "me, bloated" type of posts a while back because nobody could really relate lol.
I haven't watched but this seems awful. I also hated her going on about being insecure about facial hair. I get that childhood bullying affects you but if, in your mid 30s, you are still stressing about this it is a bit sad...

Not Kacie flexing her flawless, fluent pronunciation of “mamà” and “bes-temmy-ay”
This is so cringe how can you not understand from context that something is a swear word. Her pronunciation of "mamma" is actually atrocious 😅
