Julia's Generation

A day in the life of Julia Wood. Mini documentary about the writer and her Edwardian lifestyle.

[@Rivershines]

I completely relate to Julia's sentiments about modern living, and feel incredibly aware of the loss of quality of life, and the loss of concepts of beauty in clothing, architecture and nature, which is illustrated in our cities and suburbia. I absolutely respect people who decide to live what they love, and for some of us, the visual people, the aesthetics of daily life are as critical to quality of life as anything else. I also love that Julia's world is translated into her art, the art of her clothing and novels and home.

[@buenavista312]

A prayer answered... Bless you for you have stated so eloquently what I carry within my heart and my mind... Julia... you have inspired me beyond measure and for that I am so thankful... a most grateful new subscriber ✨✨✨

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

I like this lady quite a bit. The world needs more people with values such as this. I also like that she dresses her home with items that will last, items from times past, rather than the week manufactured furniture that she describes from the modern world.

[@rachelknight6028]

What an amazing lady with an absolutely beautiful life! I wish I had the chance to live like this. I too despise the modern world and it's rushed attitude and so much technology! Enjoy your beautiful life my dear! I'm very happy for you. 🤗

[@marthinarauhut1876]

Pity we don’t have more videos of Julia’s life, something continuous, ongoing. Decor ideas, would have been great.

[@richardcarriii7784]

I like this woman - She's one of a kind. I'd love to personally meet her. Excellent video, thank you for the upload. Thumbs Up, liked!

[@gerardlacey9384]

What a beautiful video, I find myself coming back to watch it again and again, I identify with it so much. I hope Julia is well and happy! I think she is adorable! Gérard lacey in Ireland. X

[@angelmorrigan7680]

beautiful!!! would love to see more of julia wood!!! 🖤❣🖤

[@thesamdost]

I love Helena Bonham Carter, the movie “the woman in black”, I sing from Mozart, Handle and Bach at church every week, “The picture of Dorian Gray” and “the Importance of being Ernest” are amongst my favourites novels and Madonna was my idol when I was a teenager. Best regards Samuel

[@sanctuaryrain2010]

I agree with so much of what she says. I also love the Edwardian era clothing and her home has some beautiful pieces.

[@jazzman1626]

I love the high collar blouses and the whole style of Edwardian women. In my mid teens, I had a crush on both Dinah Sheridan and Jenny Agutter in The Railway Children when I saw them in those beautiful clothes.

[@emilphoryew9436]

I relate to this woman. It would be great to form a community where all live limited by the technologies, things and ways up to the early 20h Century. It would be like doing an Amish community situation. I am actually very depressed living in this current age. Everything is unnatural, polluted, not private. classless, cheap, devoid of fanciful shape, devoid of human personality and robotic in look. My mentality and vision of normalcy also seems to not extend past the WWII era.

[@rubizelmurgatroyd7893]

Absolutely. I feel very out of place in the modern world.

[@yaelrar.4460]

That's the globalist vision. Demoralize the people. Make everyone equally poor. Take away heritage and pride. Destroy the normal family structure. Collapse churches and bring in bizarre religions. Promote violent, sex-fueled movies. If you read their writings it would make you sick. They want a one-world dictatorship and they use all 7 areas of influence to get it: Education, Media, Business, Family, Entertainment, Family, Religion. That's why everyone is sad and downtrodden. But currently there are factions and leaders looking to save our nations. Tommy Robinson in England. Trump in America. The leaders of Poland and Hungary and Italy. Many people out there are trying to save us from the globalist/EU/UN tyranny.

[@rachelknight6028]

You're not alone my dear... I live in Australia and I feel exactly the same. My father always said "Rachel, you were born 100 years too late!"... He was so right! 😞

[@Roxxy52266]

I love this woman and she is an inspiration. I can relate to her very much.

[@napoleonbouchet9712]

Julia is lucky ! She looks rich, and her furniture and decorations look expensive. I wish I had stuff like that. I would design my house something like that if I had the money.

[@ianmcfadden5450]

Agree 100% love the era

[@thevintagegypsy]

*~* Always be true to yourself Julia my dear *~* May I also say what a stunning, interesting and beautiful person you are *~*

[@samelliott7754]

fantastic and can relate in most everything that was shown worn and said ! big insperation !

[@amchomemaker]

I agree with everything you are saying. Wish we lived next to each other.

[@evelynbyrd4961]

Please look at the life and times of Tasha Tudor. Ca 1900 to 2000. Her life in the Victorian magazine. Lovely.

[@rosarose3443]

Our home is UK 1940/1950s. No TV and very relaxing. We buy from our local furniture revival and also have our mother's 1950s bedroom furniture, her dinner sets, cups and saucers etc which we use because to us they are delicate and beautiful compared to modern dinner sets. Rather than a house clearance we are upcycling her wall unit so that we can use it as a Welsh Dresser. We cannot afford to buy new and cannot afford a new kitchen, but we are upcycling that too. We upcycle so that we can live in the era we feel most at home.

[@filipematias5127]

I relate to this Lady but she has an over-idealized notion of victorian society!

[@helenamirian908]

I get you. Living history is a way of life. Mine's not as obvious, but I live in 1912 sometimes.

[@losingmymind18]

I love this lady!

[@blondefire79]

This woman is my spirit animal.

[@asa1973100]

Absolutely gorgeous articulate interesting woman who absolutely owns what she does and wants.

[@scottmedeiros5493]

I like the way she looks and I love her Victorian house ‼️

[@elleh3495]

I like her alot, especially how fearless she is to be herself. I detest the questions she had to answer. What do her relationships or ideas on having children have to do with this look at her lifestyle?? Ask her some interesting questions, not just fodder. She has alot to say.

[@unclemeat660]

3:40 Only the middle and upper classes would have had nannies and proper nutrition. Try living in victorian slum conditions for a while. It wasn't all milk and honey back then.

[@rubizelmurgatroyd7893]

I was thinking the exact same thing, and scrolled down just to see if someone said it.

[@yaelrar.4460]

Every single era has its poverty communities. Whether today or 100 years ago or 1,000 years ago. Even the Bible states "The poor you will have among you always".(John 12:8) So does that mean you can't appreciate the positive and best of an era? Good grief. Grow up.

[@shammydammy2610]

@@yaelrar.4460 I can be positive, indeed. But her viewpoints are heavily biased and romanticized, and she makes comments that are completely false to support that bias.

[@Elemiriel]

@@shammydammy2610 That's a lot to assume about someone from a 12 minute video. Maybe she likes focusing on the positive side. That doesn't mean she's unaware of the realities. Besides, they easily could have edited out her more negative critiques of the age.

[@shammydammy2610]

@@Elemiriel I'm going by exactly what she said in this video, nothing more, nothing less. If she was edited, then that's between her and whoever did the editing.

[@RodneyFreeman]

I love this woman!

[@babycakes9551]

She’s my new role model

[@tzarinavictoria3531]

She speaks the truth about everything. I do wonder why she doesn’t buy from independent shops

This is going to be in in 20 years.

[@thevintageeffect4772]

Hopeful.

[@CathyD1976]

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all

[@jf8461]

I very much relate to what she says about "enjoying the benefits of technology, while not letting it dominate the room" (or life!). Modern styles do seem a bit cold and lifeless.

[@mandyfortune7992]

Love this girl x

[@hismajesty40]

Love your work and dedication to the Edwardian lifestyle. If you read this message, perhaps we could have a direct email communication as I am in the process of creating a complete Edwardian complex in the USA. Prince Arthur Louis Pagan

[@shellygraham889]

Brilliant

[@angelawallace2999]

What is it with all the nitpicking and judgments? Good Lord people...if you're watching this you must be interested in what she is doing and if you don't like it, want to call her historical accuracy into question or bemoan the fact she doesn't represent the poorer classes it seems to me you're just looking for reasons to be negative and then sharing that negativity with others.

[@AngelKhalidah]

Wow. I would love to live like this! 😍 But not more than a week or so 😅

[@jazzman1626]

Can you imagine if there was a place like this that you could spend a couple of weeks holiday/vacation at? I would love that and would be a regular customer.

[@RaisingSerge]

I love what you stand for. @LilyJarlsson I love you too. I have been following people like you and Sarah Christman and others who live their true. Life is too short to confirm .

[@thevintageeffect4772]

Haha, I also observed them, and their lives. They are inspirations.

[@snowyskylar8821]

I live like this as well.

[@theorganicnaturalvegan8462]

Good old English eccentricity at it's best!

[@ArcherOO78]

I agree ..

[@IDrinkYourMilk]

@paintedship She enjoys her life why can't you?

[@hidebarnes8188]

She's damn right about men

[@autumnjade815]

Is that a picture of Oscar Wilde in the background?

[@rgrace6609]

I can relate with her adopting a non conformist way of life, and how better to live it than in an aesthetically beautiful and almost sensually evocative era.

[@Ladeliciadelinda]

She says the word ugly a lot. But I do agree with nothing wrong with enjoying modern technology but it shouldn’t be the highlight.

[@uniquelyneil]

The modern world is incredibly and increasingly ugly..... so the use of this word seems appropriate to me.....

[@IDrinkYourMilk]

@paintedship Point taken.

[@418laylah]

Love you! Lol. But you absolutely Must put a beautiful burgundy velvet valance above your bed! I wish I could my rooms too small. I actually have a real 1890s set, but my rooms too small.

[@stevedavenport2975]

Shed need quite a bit of money an good job to live like that , artist or actress

[@RestoFever2134]

Mmmmmmm. Claims to have adopted the Victorian/Edwardian era, but needs eBay & walks into a Supermarket. Has a strong opinion on children today, but at some point in her childhood, someone may have had the same opinions about her. Flat Pack furniture is furniture of today. Many families across this nation struggle to feed themselves,never mind choose furniture. Overall, Julia does a great job of promoting the past, but ought to be a touch more sensitive about others predicaments.

[@thevintageeffect4772]

I think she is inspirational, and I dislike the fact that some people will hate on her.

[@yaelrar.4460]

I don't think she is tryibg to promote anything. She's just living a gracious life.

[@elleh3495]

Resto Fever she needs to be more sensitive? you are the one leaving a troll comment. She's allowed to not like certain things. Flat pack is crap--and it doesnt last. there is plenty of real wood well made furniture at thrift stores, like where she said she got most of her things, and its less expensive than new flatpack. Get a clue.

[@thesamdost]

Dear Julia I wrote you already today I have the feeling I know you since a long time; I wish we could share our interest together, talking about music, films, fashion and above all decoration. Actually there is not a side of your personality, here shown, that I do not share with you. It is wonderful to know that, please permit me, my sibling is living somewhere on this earth.

[@Chuloon]

She sounds so negative about everything... you can appreciate another era & be positive about what you enjoy while at the same time not talking smack about the current timeline. Honestly....

[@lolafiiona7014]

Thank you! You're the only one I've seen who isn't agreeing with her. She's judging other parents she's not even a parent how would she know that people are so bad at it.

[@evelynbyrd4961]

Too many microwave curries hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha

[@hikerx9366]

Truth is we can't bring back the past...live totally the way it was,.......but.....we can create our own reality as Source Beings. I am not liking what the world has become, the disrespect for nature, for human life, for compassion towards others, for technology that has consumed the young. I don't find high rises appealing or boxed houses made with cheap materials. I don't even appreciate modern day mansions where everything is either grey or white inside and out. Quality is a thing of the past ...selfishness and greed consume human existance. Disconnect is everywhere and the need to be bigger and better than the guy next store is unacceptable. It was there in the past to some extent as well but the quality of life is gone, with more depressed youngsters, more suicide and more dislike for what we are now experiencing as our reality. Just a few thoughts..

[@rudimentaryleo]

defintely reincarnated

[@jacquiethebibliophil]

Rapid, pressured speech and black and white thinking...hmmm. I am totally into the Victorian/Edwardian period and if you embrace it completely than you wear it and live it. Her house is accurate enough but her clothes are only semi--they show her in several things that totally off. And her hair is totally incorrect! I wear Victorian, and to the extent that I can, live it in my apartment; however, the complex would frown on my ripping out the tub for a claw foot!

[@elleh3495]

Jacqueline blah blah blah...so judgemental. Who's more Victorian??? Is there an award for that? 🙄

[@yaelrar.4460]

I love this. I agree with so much of this. But how does she work? How does she earn a living? How does she afford all those antiques and tailored clothings? I think she's wonderful. She takes the best of both today and yesterday. 🌹

[@TheLatiosnlatias02]

As much as I am interested about Edwardian or Victorian times, I found the lifestyle was harsh and all a lot of pressures and abuses.

[@yellow.2909]

I really respect this woman,but she has to do her hair

[@yellow.2909]

masakasama also woman curled their hair a lot back in the day,and victorian woman would never combine those high-class clothes with loose hair.
