finding "routine" in long distance + my work week in England 🫂

[@marijab96able]

I've always found your style to look sophisticated, classy and always perfectly balanced between curated and "oh this old thing, I just threw it on!" (if that makes sense). we're our own worst critics, but your style is very inspiring!!

[@mypillowsoft]

i hope she sees your comment because that is what most of us are thinking!

[@MargotLee]

My goal in life is to personify, "Oh, this old thing, I just threw it on!" so thank you for this

[@HannahElise]

I just love love love your vlogs

[@MargotLee]

:') I love you sweet Hannah!!! Coffee soon

[@dsmith123451]

Hi Margot! What camera do you use?

[@urfavcowboy5088]

she's in her lizzy hadfield era, ladies and gentlemen

[@LuckyMeCandy]

I love that your No Particular Order brand identity is so minimal and simplistic. I find it to be very beautiful. Like a clean slate. If you’re looking for a refresh, that is always great. I would say don’t change too much. I love it and the simple beauty of the journal. 😊

[@MargotLee]

Noted!! I love the simplicity too- especially how it allows handwriting and individualism to come through. Thank you for your comment 💕

[@leahmeredith6564]

I was thinking in the first half of the video how natural and effortless you looked! I think we are always first to be hard on ourselves

[@MargotLee]

That is so kind, thank you :’) completely agree- we are our own harshest critics

[@camilleeve4525]

I was thinking the SAME thing

[@backstagewithcaitlin]

As an English girl I literally love the way you romanticise our country & it makes me appreciate it so much more!! English countryside really is beautiful (and equally, I would love to live in NYC for a little while someday!)

[@MargotLee]

That makes me so happy. I love your beautiful country!!

[@fionastrobel7754]

Its funny because before you mentioned that about your style I thought that every time you are in England you can just tell how you feel so comfortable with whatever youre wearing, however your hair looks or wether you are dressed up or not and that is so nice to see. You look amazing in your natural state without makeup, hair undone, with no fancy outfit. It is so nice that you feel 100% comfortable when you are with Zantore and it really shows that you focus on your time there, spending time with him and that is perfectly fine, it should not matter what you are wearing and at times you focus on other (more important) things than clothes or looks and social media should not make you feel insecure about that. You will have enough time to focus on outfits so valueing your time in England with some neutral boxy crewneck is fantastic and Zantore’s clothes suit you just as good.⭐️

[@Jordanklabe7771]

thanks for sharing your insecurities. As an outside viewer, I always admire how effortlessly chic you looks. Before you talked about it in this video, I was thinking how cute your hair looked in a messy French braid & how simple and timeless your outfits are.

[@MargotLee]

Awh, thank you!! Will have to wear it braided more this summer

[@serena8391]

As someone who just restarted long distance with her boyfriend yesterday, this video has been such a great source of comfort and reassurance for me- that it’s possible and that love can push every boundary. So thank you Margot, for sharing this with all of us. It makes me feel a little less alone!

[@MargotLee]

Sending you so much love- the first few days after saying goodbye are always the hardest.

[@HannahDesignStudios]

Hi Margo! I'm a graphic designer and I work with both brand identity development, website & collateral. I think the NPO brand identity is strong in showcasing the foundation of who you are as a brand that fosters mindfulness, creativity and imagination while maintaining a minimalistic and authentic feeling that clearly reflects your journal! I can see why investing in a brand identity is something you're considering as your brand grows and evolves to incorporate more products, and possibly brick & morter, etc. The key is aligning your vision with a brand strategy, and then the visual design follows to reflect your long term goals :) Happy to answer any questions or help in any way! P.S. I worked with Abby at Abbode & met you at our launch party for our vintage brand like two years ago hehe. I love your vlogs so much💓 Best, Hannah

[@MiissAlexandraMakeup]

omg the people from the restaurant waving goodbye omg! i could cry so wholesome

i have a bachelor´s degree in advertising and i specialize in brand identity - let me just tell you, i LOVE nopo's brand identity, mostly because it feels authentic and familiar, it feels like looking through your own journal and it's really inspiring!

[@MargotLee]

😮‍💨 thank you!!

[@__phoebe.taylor]

Niche compliment but this particular thumbnail sparked so much joy for some reason. I love the way you laid it out

[@MargotLee]

:') thank you, I had fun making it

[@jillybean925]

No your style is SO good Margot. Whenever I feel those comparisons pop up I try to remember that it’s a joy to experiment with style- so if you see something you like, give it a go, but just add it into your current style. That’s how you end up with individual style: little things you like mashed together.

[@marnisaunders8930]

As someone who doesn’t know much about the brand, I just had a look at the instagram and it’s great, very professional and slick but it is maybe slightly unclear as to what you are actually selling? For me it comes across as more of a ‘platform’, like for example ‘poosh’, rather than a specific product or store. The instagram has the vibe of a digital magazine in a way, which is not necessarily a negative thing, you could even lean into that more! The brand evidently has wellness and self discovery at its core ⭐️

[@vanillasweetcream]

you film so beautifully 😭one of my biggest creative inspirations 🤍 I also can fully relate to what you said about your outward appearance and style. I want to dress up more but it’s never been me either.

[@christinebessah871]

Love your style…. That cat was very comfortable with you as he lay on his back and was arching his back and rubbing against you. Great vlog as always. ❤

[@MargotLee]

Someone came up to me one time and told me I had a very welcoming energy for animals and I think that was the best compliment I’ve ever recieved

[@isabelwilson7771]

I think No Particular Order does not really have a super strong brand identity but that that might be to its benefit. Nowadays it can feel like brands are shoving themselves down our throats so a brand that is much more fluid and flexible and not as in your face about what it is is refreshing. Not sure if that made sense lol but that is my take.

[@alextheandersen]

I love your style & how your clothing tells a story, thats so beautiful!

[@MargotLee]

The beauty of hand-me-downs

[@victoriahansen2214]

So tender & such beautiful editing as always

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Margot happy Tuesday afternoon to you and im glad you enjoyed in London and I enjoy your channel

[@francescamanfucci966]

I am wondering when will you guys be living in the same place for as long as you can? Wouldn’t you want to move there with him or him coming back?

[@britainbossier4532]

Right before you mentioned feeling insecure about your style, I literally thought “I love her style and clothes! She pairs things so well and styles things so cute!” I have always looooved your sense of style!

[@janaybridges]

Bristol is great. I love that they have a Gail's now!! Also, you're lucky to have such an intuitive boyfriend. Trust it. I'm the intuitive one in my marriage. xx

[@SadieAllen]

Cat person here-- that's just a little baby!

[@emmabarolin]

right before you talked about it, I was thinking of how refreshing and nice it is to see you so "care-free" or natural in the previous clips. My goal is to also get to that at some point!! i agree it's nice to also get dressed up / makeup & hair done, but probably finding some balance is the sweet point

[@msween6464]

I think NoPo brand identity is strong. Keep it close to you and people will continue to love it for what it is because you made it. I think it could be possible that you would feel it is stronger if you had more social media engagement from the brand, like more social posts and other related media more consistently. I think that would change your perspective of the brands identity and overall branding and it would feel more fluid to you just knowing you are putting out some more content, similar to the quality that you have been and will likely continue to do!

[@erinshannon1114]

Where are your sunglasses from? I couldn’t find them in your recently worn/shown list. So cute!

[@lolajolie8095]

The insecurity around clothing style is incredibly relatable, but I think it's just because you're in a different country where people dress differently... they probably find your style cool as you find theirs! :)

[@laurenschubert1023]

Highly recommend hiring someone to do a brand identity!! It’s game changing. It’s hard to find someone that won’t rip you off, but it is possible!

[@MargotLee]

Needed to hear this

[@roxanachavez8981]

Does anyone know where Margo finds the music for her videos? Thank you❤

[@sophieh2884]

Not sure if you're still there but highly recommended Little Hollows pasta in Clifton it's delicious x

[@Hannah-db4vw]

A lot of owners in the UK don't put collars on their cats so probably just an outdoor cat!

[@jenni4809]

does your job allow you to work anywhere remotely or do you book time off?

[@CapturingSpain]

What a cute moment when the restaurant owners and chefs were waving at you!

[@MargotLee]

How sweet :’) made my night

[@TheMsCroft]

Omg I'm a graphic designer and art director working in fashion in Paris so I found the part where you were talking about graphic design particularly interesting ! I think your brand identify could definitely be stronger for your brand to be able to shine more meanwhile keeping the clean and minimal DNA ! Particularly your website. A rebrand could be a very interesting idea without going overboard and keeping it discreet. Wish you a very nice week Margot ! xx

[@michaelanegus9900]

Where are your sunglasses from? Love them!

[@largirl123]

Where are the hiking pants from? Love them

[@NikitaSiddam]

I also live in New York and do long distance with my boyfriend who lives in England so I relate so much to your videos! Thanks for sharing :)

[@MargotLee]

Aww! Sending you lots of love

[@nataliaoxley3119]

Awww Margot, I hadn’t seen your videos for a while and hadn’t realized how much I missed them. So many things I can relate to! Long-distance (medium in my case, but still!), sense of style… glad to know so many of us have these thoughts or struggles at the same time! I will be listening to your podcast x

[@szpaqus]

your personal style fits your figure which is not very hourglassy, but you have really long legs and generally very elongated beautiful shape so ofc you can be feminine but masculine just plays into your look and imo is super interesting (juxtaposition) with your very feminine face. i wouldn't change a thing.

[@janaybridges]

PS you have GREAT style. I love your minimal/masculine style. Truly I've always admired it.

[@sophiahouben8951]

Margot the intro made me cry!! I just woke up, I was not ready to cry today!! So beautiful and cinematic, you could make films 🌷

[@funwithkayy]

I love the No Particular Brand as it is. I think the clean, simplistic, and calming aesthetic that you've created really bodes well with the goals you've seemed to have set. I totally understand giving it a bit of umph though if you are trying to target a larger audience... but I would say stick with the template you've already created!! :)

[@denverdubois5835]

Meow! Feral cats aren't friendly and don't want to be petted. The cute orange kitty was not feral. Most likely he is a neighbor's friendly pet cat who took a major liking to you and just wanted to say hello! 🙂He looked too clean and healthy to be a stray, imo. Re: fashion, that's interesting what you said about New England...I know just what you mean. I love that look. To me it's like yes, collegiate, with that sort of effortless preppy chic, redolent of the northeast's atmospheric cities--but also going sailing and being casually outdoorsy, a la the Kennedys, or Katharine Hepburn. I think you are naturally chic and stylish, being slim and classically pretty with a sweet, open personality; you wear clothes well and look great in most anything. If you feel insecure, then just take a practical approach: establish a comfy second closet at Zantori's home. Do some shopping when you're there so you don't need to bring stuff back and forth, and maybe ship yourself a box of accessories and small favorite things when you are home, so you can enjoy them on your next trip to England. How long do you and Zantori plan to do the long-distance thing? I hope there's a closing date for that. I know how hard it is. I think NPO has a beautiful and simple, clean vibe. It feels comfortable, yet also intriguing. I'm no professional, but to me, the one thing you need is just more merch. Your own site here is a perfect vehicle from which you can promote your work and surround it with imaginative interest and charm. p.s. I LOVE the beautiful music you chose for this video. So so emotive and lovely. (if you like that kind of romantic saxophone jazz, look up a 1950s musician named Stan Getz. Pure gorgeousness!)

[@kcolthurst]

It's really nice to hear you talking about feeling insecure about your style (not the part about you feeling insecure of course) but that it's so relatable! I often feel insecure about dressing in a more masculine way and I don't know why - because I love the style!! I see it on others and think it looks great, and I think you in particular always look so stylish, but we somehow all still feel this insecurity about it. And I always feel this pressure to reach for the skirts in my closet, or do my hair & makeup - and sometimes that's nice but I often feel that I have to push myself in that direction. So anyway, just wanted to say thanks for sharing those feelings!

[@lillydrury]

I love NoPO so much! I totally agree that some brands are too branded that it becomes false and NoPO is all about reality and real connection. If you did hire for brand identity I think keeping it clean and simple like it is so far would be great :) and hopefully (maybe) less expensive for you lol! Love love loved this video as I do all of yours ❤ Also your style is my absolute FAVORITE. I love love love how unique and classic it is coming from a New England gal!

[@jadecarter2580]

Thank you so much for this vlog, Margot! I lived in Bristol for 6 years so seeing all the spots I used to go to is like a warm hug. During covid I walked to Ashton court everyday!

[@kendra1125]

Margot, you are literally my style icon! I am always trying to bring your sense of style into my own day-to-day outfits. Keep doing you! Not worth forcing something that doesn't feel right!!

[@megpowers5676]

I love the NoPo brand! But if you want a more designed feel I think you should connect with freelance graphic designers rather than an agency. I’m sure they are just as talented and wouldn’t charge a million dollars :)

[@sarajouppi2320]

I loved this video, brought me so much joy & please don't change you are amazing just as you are :)

[@gilliangracee]

i think it's funny because i am more traditionally feminine in my style and wear makeup every day but i envy you so much for looking so stunning even without makeup or wearing a really cute new england style casual outfit like princess diana!! the grass is always greener i guess

[@jacquelinexidis6506]

This was just one of those vlogs I know I’ll find myself coming back to again and again

[@lezmoz3639]

As someone who lives in Bristol, I find it amazing how I've known your videos since before you went to uni - and now you're here! Maybe we'll bump into each other one day. Let me know if you need any recommendations, I know some great pubs and gorgeous country walks

[@hirachaudhary3874]

I love your sense of fashion so so much, it’s so classy and feminine in its own way. I’ve always looked up to you and your style so much, I think it’s such a lovely look to master and you do such a good job at it. Suits you and your personality so so well, lots of love xx

[@Sabina-or8zw]

I’ve always loved your style and how it switches from feminine to masculine - you pull off both styles effortlessly! You’ve always been an fashion inspo for me ❤️❤️

[@chloe.taylor15]

Such a cosy video to end the evening with🥰 To clarify with your friendly visitor, not all cats have collars on in the UK, but all instead have microchips so if any are found their home can be located this way :)

[@anniedeane155]

I live in Bristol and loved seeing your take on it. So beautiful and refreshing, Ashton Court is one of my favourites too

[@annezajicek232]

You are one of my most favorite people to look to for fashion! And I love the masculinity - reminds me of 90s Jcrew catalogues :,)

[@katielouiseE]

ahhh omg I love seeing your vlogs in England! I find it so funny that you are so close in Bristol when I go to university in Bath!!

[@laurentwomey3348]

I loved this video! I also love the minimal design of NoPo and that it feels very natural. I also think because it’s so simple it evolves well with new ideas and new products

[@anaromero3761]

Nothing to do with the video but watching your vlogs always feel like home ❤️‍🩹 like the place I come when I am not at my best, been doing this for 8 years? And still feels the same, thanks Margot🤍🤍🤍

[@camilleeve4525]

I've been in a LDR for 3 years, these videos bring me so much peace and happiness. Thank you for sharing these special moments

[@ozatanvi]

Your 23-minute vlog was exactly what I needed! I've been binge-watching your older videos because I missed you so much. Could you pretty please upload more? Sending tons of love your way, Margot! 💕

[@EmilyJane9896]

Great video as always ❤ looking forward to the lake district vlog! Been to the lakes a lot when growing up and it always rain 😂 hope you had better luck! Xx

[@Cestmoiiix-miah]

I was just gonna comment how good and natural you look! I love the casual style and you seem so healthy :)

[@milliewhite8535]

It is so fun to see you explore the city that I lived in for university. I recognise and am so familiar almost every spot you went to, down to the park benches you sat on!! Lovely to see it in its glory especially when I haven’t been back in a while

[@withvanillawings]

where is the green or yellow purse with the skinny straps at the beginning of the vlog from :)

[@OlivaRose00]

i love your style-i love the ease of it and your hair in a french braid is perfection, got me back into them ❤

[@TSagi_0127]

As someone viewing your relationship from the outside . It seems so gentle and unintentional

[@emmahinchcliffe]

I love your fashion! I'm also from new england and don't dress overly feminine haha.

[@christinakalogeropoulou9215]

I absolutely love your style (personal & NoPO). It feels so you and genuine !

[@bridcullen4961]

Hey Margot, what brands are your bracelets from? Xx

[@E1saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I live in Bristol too and it's so nice seeing you come to enjoy it here ahhh

This is such a cute video!! Are your sunglasses vintage Ray-Bans?? So chic. I looked at your ShopMy but couldn’t find a link to any new ones ❤

[@MargotLee]

Hi!! They’re American optical wayfarers

[@geminibambi]

@@MargotLeehi!! ahhh amazing, thank you! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@hannahshumate4498]

love your brand, but I do feel like a little more oomph would be good to make it stand out and scream Margot/no particular order

[@MargotLee]

this is so helpful and validating to hear, thank you!!

[@alexaperryman390]

Katy Bellote lives in NYC like you and does brand kits for people and they always look GORGEOUS. she is very detail oriented, much like yourself.

[@kimholdredge]

As a trained graphic designer (a nice fyi… graphic design is based on principles and repetition no one is naturally good at it - even if they are creative) the NPO brand is great for your audience because we follow you but doesn’t translate imo for expanding to wider audiences. That’s the value of paying the $$$ so that trained professionals can visually expand how that progresses for you because we do this every day!

[@cydneylahr8673]

after just starting long distance, this video came at a perfect time 🥹 you are also an amazing human being to watch, I’m so glad I found your videos years ago

[@yogaconr]

No! You don't need to rebrand 🤍 love it as it is
