I used to really love Susie but agree with lots of the criticism on this thread. When she said that the Pandora advert was 'authentic' - what an absolute joke!
She used to be my fave Instagram person for such a long time (first started following her around Rio 2016) and she'd always be the first insta stories I'd watch but then it just became loads of random clothing 'edits' with afflinks which seemed at odds with what she actually wears on a day to day basis.
I think what I find annoying is that so much of the stuff she does is contradictory - she'll talk about how crap supermarket clothes are (obviously far more cost effective to dress your toddler in £150 coats loll!) and how important it is to support small businesses... which is all well and good until she's all about the Asos #afflink - so fast fashion is ok as long as she's making some money from it?!
I remember when I first had my little boy and I loved all the pics of Milo kitted out in lovely outfits with cool prints so I looked them up online...i couldn't believe how much she was spending on kids' clothes! That said, this was all before influencers had to declare ads so thinking about it now, they were probably gifted or heavily discounted!
Nothing about their life seems aspirational any more - there's no original content, just ads. Oh and all the 'travel' (always made me roll my eyes that she included that in her bio!) is boring and stuff they've done before plus their renovation seems to be taking forever.
Does anyone remember when MOD and FOD were mid kitchen renovation and Susie did a story about how they'd "love" a Herringbone kitchen but because they would be reusing this kitchen for their annexe further down the line they were going for something more affordable? She made a really big deal about how they were taking their time with their renovation because it's their forever home etc so when she made the throwaway comment recently about how they'll "probably" move abroad it just seemed a really odd comment to make. Maybe they've realised Greg isn't going to get a pundit type job in the UK so are just cashing in while they can!
I think that IRL her and Greg are probably lovely and lots of fun to hang out with but the past 6 months on Instagram have made them come across like ad hungry twats.
I also agree with whoever said she is quite immature - she obviously left her job at Look mag when she got pregnant with Milo so has spent the past 5-6 years of her mid to late twenties as a SAHM in quite a rural area - nothing wrong with this at all but she tries so hard to come across as worldly wise but really misses the mark and I wonder if it is because she's quite isolated where they live.
Another thing - she ALWAYS seems to have to cancel "work trips" at the last minute due to Rex being unwell etc... Which makes me a bit suspicious as my little boy is poorly quite a bit too and I do my best to minimise the impact on my job even without help from my partner or parents but she has Greg around plus her mum and step dad who seem quite involved with the boys, can't they look after him?!?
I must admit, after the story where she admitted that she'd skived off work for several weeks to go abroad with Greg in the early stages of their relationship made me think less of her. A sickie here and there for the odd day, fine, but to go abroad for several weeks and lie to your colleagues for that long... it shows a terrible work ethic and attitude in my opinion.
I've been reading tattle since the whole MOD thing kicked off but this is my first post, who knew I had so much to say
