TESTING SHE IN! UNBOXING & TRY ON. Comparing designer dupes to the real thing! ~ Freddy My Love

[@FreddyMyLove]

Hi everyone! Just a few things I wanted to address! First of all thanks so much to everyone who clicked to watch the video! Now, many people have taken offence in the way I described the clothes. Let's clear something up- on the whole I had a positive feeling towards She In! Some of the items were really great (I kept 5 items- the tweed bow dress and matching jacket, the pearl heel boots, the pink skirt and the grey sleeveless pearl dress. I love them all!), however some of the items were awful, and I feel it's my responsibility as an influencer who people trust to give my honest review and opinion, before my viewers potentially spend their own money. This was the whole point of the video! If I said an item felt cheap or horrible, it is not a personal attack on anyone, and no one should feel offended by that, it is just the truth. If I said anything else it would be a lie. I would rather be slightly "snobby" than lie to my viewers and say something was good and worth my money if it wasn't. IMPORTANT: I have nothing against LOW PRICED clothing. I have found so many gorgeous things in places such as Primark, Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing, Misguided, H&M that feel really nice. This entire Summer I literally lived in a £20 Missguided dress. Every day, no exaggeration. My problem is with clothes that FEEL cheap! Heck, some EXPENSIVE clothes can feel cheap! I literally spent £75 on a dress last week and sent it back because it felt awful, yet my new £11 SheIn dress feels gorgeous and I adore it! It's not about money, or the price of things, so please don't think I look down on inexpensive clothing because I ABSOLUTELY don't. Next, I was not laughing or mocking the dupe bags. I was laughing, yes, but in disbelief as I honestly couldn't believe it was actually legal to full on copy the entire design of a bag! I was shocked! And my comments about how "most people can't spend over a thousand pounds on a bag" were not meant to alienate anyone or make them feel bad. Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, the intention was literally the total opposite. I've mentioned in a video before how I feel conscious talking about luxury products on my channel as I know most people are not in a position to be able to afford them, and the last thing I want to do is make people feel bad about that. So many youtubers, bloggers and instagrammers make it seem like splurging on luxury regularly is totally normal, and I honestly think that alienates people who can't, and makes them feel really crappy. I always want to be open about the fact that I KNOW I am so lucky and privileged to be able to afford the occasional luxury product (in this case, I didn't even pay the full amount for the bag!!!) and I do NOT take it for granted. I hate it when I see people talk to their audience about a £1000 bag as casually as a £25 high street bag. I just wanted to get across in this video that I think it IS a big deal to spend that much, and it's far more normal to not want to do that! I was honestly consciously trying to be sensitive towards peoples feelings as I do not want to make anyone feel bad about themselves or what they have/or don't have, and it seems like it totally backfired and had the opposite effect! And for that I am devastated! Anyone who knows me knows I would NEVER talk down to anyone, or try and make them feel inadequate. I promise you it really is a misunderstanding! I value every single one of you and I hope you can forgive me if what I said didn't come across properly and upset you. Lots of love ❤️

I don't really understand why so many people are saying Freddy is being snobbish because she doesn't necessarily want cheap clothes to look or feel cheap. Surely the point of reviewing websites like this is to show whether or not you can get good quality for a low price?

I really don't like most things she picks out but I don't hate and I don't care because she, herself, is so nice that she's driving me away from negativity

[@fee-lingb7613]

I’m not a subscriber and I admit I’m one of those persons that stroll through the comments more than they write but I also wanted to give my opinion on this debate going on. A bit about where I come from ; I don’t own anything designer, I like buying high street and watching reviews ans hauls on both. Do I like an honest review? Yes, but what is considered honest nowadays ? personally, I go by a few ‘rules’ When a youtuber/blogger... only ever gives good reviews, I tend to take her opinion with a bucket of salt. Description of the item, with the texture and the fit (ideally their size so comparaison can be done... how it looks on them versus me..) The Setting : filters and harsh light can completely change the color and texture/quality of the item. Including the price; did they buy it, sponsored.... Now did I like her review? Yes, she was real. She talked about the good and the bad, she brought out the details (see through dress, the feathersnotfeathers, the runaway tread....) and she also included whether it would be a breaking deal or not. It is cheap clothing, there are no denying that, and watching it from start to finish I don’t believe that it was said in a pejorative way. The idea of the video was to compare online pictures to the actual items: are you getting a good deal or not as consumers? Which she said you were, she was pleased with quite a lot and displeased with some and as someone who buy online lore than I should I can relate to that. Now the main problem seems to come from the duper/fake bags. I agree with her. I separate a dupe from a fake by the differences added (or removed) to separate it from the original item. If there are no difference at all then it is a fake and should be illegal (at least in my country). Stealing intellectual property should never be ok, plagiarism isn’t ok, and when a big company steal from a small(er) artist everyone tends to agree that this is bad so why isn’t it the same when a big company/designer is stealing another big company? It shouldn’t matter whether or not the copied item is expensive. I do understand that not everyone can nor want to spend the money, or they may simply want to test it out before buying. But then go for something similar not complete fake. That was quite longer than expected....I hope I made myself clear enough, I don’t think it was about buying non expensive clothing or accessories, to each their own no one should feel ashamed for what they were, or how much spend for it. But it was a legitimate reaction at least that’s my opinion. If you have made it here... I don’t know what to say

[@nxbxxmbx1536]

Jesus how long did that take

[@username9528]

@@nxbxxmbx1536 XD that was my same thought I gave up reading after the first sentence

[@AliaslsailA]

I don't get why so many people are offended by this. I see nothing wrong here. I for myself am fairly concerned with quality and am always glad if a KZbinr puts it into account. To me it also seemed like she chose her words with care. You all just want to get offended for the sake of it, and that is especially worrisome in a day and age where things that are actually offensive get lost in a see of irrelevance.

[@purplehazee90]

AliaslsailA there's a way to critical review items without sitting there laughing at it and saying it's horrible quality, and assuming her viewers cant afford a chloe bag. it's a chloe bag not a chanel so idk why she was acting like it's something big

[@AliaslsailA]

sarah_says I just rewatched the video again and I don't see where she's mocking items, she said much more positive things than negative. Also, you yourself come off as rather snobbish, if a Chloe bag is "nothing big" for you and it needs at least a Chanel bag to impress you, than what's your problem here? I myself couldn't afford either of those bags and I still don't feel like she was downgrading me.

[@purplehazee90]

AliaslsailA I don't think you get the point. I don't care if she has negative things to say along with the positive. If she thinks an item is cheaply made then that's fine, thanks for letting us know. But during the part where she talked about the Chloe bag she CLEARLY is making fun of it and says it is poor quality, did you catch that? Then she goes on to say she would recommend it? That makes no sense. Like she would never wear this cheap bag, but YOU can go ahead. I never said the Chloe bag wasn't a nice bag, you're twisting things around b/c your feelings are hurt. Learn to know the difference between constructive criticism and "hate." Oh and if her directly stating that YOU don't have the money to spend on the bag doesn't offend you, then wow good for you. For other people though, that's called talking down.

[@miyahx2857]

I think your idea of 'CLEARLY is making fun of it' and other peoples may vary. Freddy has replied many times saying that she was laughing at the quality but couldn't believe they literally COPIED the bag! or that it could be legal! Come on... she clearly say that she thinks it's nice!

[@purplehazee90]

Miya Hx yes very good, like you stated opinions do VARY from person to person. So just because you didn't find her comment offensive, doesn't mean that no one else does.

[@cjacobson2431]

Shea talking about Ivanka trump boots, I found them online

[@KellyBeth]

I am studying fashion and we recently talked about the effects of fake handbags, etc. the reason they can get away with it is because it doesn't have any particular print on it and it doesn't have a logo. In the fashion world, designs can't be copyrighted, but prints can. So unless it has an exact print or has a label that is claiming to be a particular brand, then they can copy whatever they want! I don't necessarily think it's right to purchase dupes because it is truly bad for the fashion industry, but I also understand wanting something and not being able to afford it (I'm a full-time student with three jobs, and broke still.. so I get it) I don't mean any hate by that, I'd just encourage anyone looking to buy a fake product to look into what the effects are.

[@sm8874]

Whiskers&Whipstitches thanks, that was informative :) good luck to you.

[@MademoiselleRuta]

Wow this is the problem with society. People are so sensitive about everything! Freddy gave her opinion on a clothing site that sells a lot of very cheap, bad quality clothing, that sometimes doesn't even look the same as online. There are HUNDREDS of reviews online of how terrible this website is, and all of those people have awesome comments thanking them for their honest reviews. If you find this offensive because you can't afford more expensive clothing, you really need to re-evaluate your lives. Besides, the prices weren't even cheap - you can go to a thrift shop and buy so many lovely and beautiful pieces for a fraction of the cost. Keep doing what you're doing Freddy and ignore the petulant children. :)

[@MademoiselleRuta]

Plus, it's better to pay a bit more for a better quality item that will last you a long time, then buy cheap pieces that will fall apart in a few weeks/a season that you have to constantly repurchase.

[@arpeetapaw2209]

I read so many comments. If asked me, i think to keep your personal opinion it not about being snobby or rude towards someone. It's okay to say bad when something is really bad. Those who afford luxury will buy that and those who love to shop from Shein will shop online. I love your opinion and honest review. And I would also like to tell you, the Truth us always bitter to taste. Thank you so much. Love you Freddy

[@YasmineBogaert]

This is SUCH a good idea!

[@samsing1939]

The reason she is mentioning the price is to keep her followers informed. She wants you to know that these pieces are accessible to everyone, while comparing to designer quality.

[@ashleylesiak4114]

For a lot of dupes you can tell by the weight, feel, and inner lining. Also, the fake market funds terrorism and other criminal activity.

[@CarePinglo]

I think shein is a great site to get some some unique pieces ! You can find a lot of clothes that you see on Instagram but you can't find them in stores in your area. I have some that are amazing quality and some that are meh.... so it is a bit hit and miss. I do like that each item has a separate size guide so you can get the right fit

[@FreddyMyLove]

Carolina Pinglo oh I didn't know about the size guides! 🙈 that probably would have helped me! But yes I agree 100% it's hit and miss but deffo worth a chance!

[@duchesshenderson4482]

It’s great that Freddy took the time to address the fact that some people were offended. It’s no use arguing who should or shouldn’t be offended; that’s a very personal thing. To imply people were offended because they have insecurities is uncalled for. Everyone has the right to feel the way they feel, even if others don’t agree with them. Perception is unique, personal and is reality.

[@RonnieHeartsMakeUp]

I kinda don't like when rich people refer to these websites as "cheap" and stuff. I mean, it's not really a Chanel kind of quality, of course. But none of us - non youtubers can afford a Chloe bag and have a closet full of high-end and designer stuff. Maybe some people with high income, lol! I actually like all of these items and I would really wear them😊. China doesn't always mean bad quality. Don't forget - even iPhones were assembled in China. And btw, even Zara items often have lose threading! ☹️

[@FreddyMyLove]

Totally hear what you're saying! And I did mention in the video that I've had the same experience in quality in Zara so I wasn't judging the brand! And low-cost is different to cheap (for me anyway). I worship low priced clothing that feels nice- and the fact is, it DOES exist, so just because you cannot afford expensive clothing, doesn't mean you have to wear only clothing that feels cheap! There are other options and I was just checking this brand out before people spent their money on it x

[@RonnieHeartsMakeUp]

sensitve much... she liked lots of the clothes that she ordered and had mainly positive things to say. I dont have lots of money and sometimes I go into a store and think things seem cheap. Its not a reference to price its a reference to quality. I saw a pair of $300 white pants that I thought seemed really cheap. I cant afford $300 pants and I didn't realise they cost that much when I picked them up. So its not a comment on anyones economic status.

[@Traxestella1991]

This is a very nice video Freddy, please don’t let some of the comments down you! I have shopped in Shein (as called Sheinside at that moment) 3 years ago, trust me, those items were horrendous, literally few pieces of trash. I think since they’ve got more well known in the past years they actually started to care about their quality, which is such a nice thing! After seeing some of the items you got, it actually made me want to go check them out again (which is unimaginable for me in the past 3 years). I think you are being completely genuine and honest, and I support what you said in the video (except I think people should not be buying straight designer bag rip-offs cause it’s against intellectual property). Sorry English is not my native language, and before I got carried away and wrote a whole essay, hope people all have a wonderful day! :)

JustVeronica I personally think the real Chloe bag looks horrible and it doesn't look a thousand pounds lol, I'd rather buy the dupe. I see loads of designer clothes and bags and you're mainly paying for the name. But that's my thought and doesn't mean someone else wouldn't spend that on a bag or clothes for whatever their reason. There's nothing wrong with buying a copy if it's a lot cheaper. Freddy meant it's laughable that it's being copied, and it's poor quality. She doesn't think she's better than anyone else. I have tried Louis Vuitton bags and they're not good enough for me, they're such bad quality for the money and look old fashioned and yes designer bags can be poor quality too in my opinion. I love MK bags, and own lots of them as they're trendy and great quality, but everyone's preferences are different and that's ok. 😬👍🏼xx

Freddy is really honest and I appreciate her for this. Honest people might say something that you don't like, it happens sometimes, but most of the times they're right. I'm from Italy and I remember the time LVuitton handbag was so popular and there were so many dupes out there. Most of people were happy with their dupes, I also had one but I felt embarassed firstly because it is illegal, second, it was so different from the original bag! When the zipper broke after a few months I thought: well, I have no money for the original bag so I'd better go for something different. I've got many handbags that are not high end or dupes and I love them they're so pretty. In other words: I have no need to act like I'm rich when I'm not.

I absolutely love Freddy's videos and I'm inspired by her style and class, however I am a little disappointed that she would say a £25 bag is overpriced for the quality of it when she owns a bag that was over £1000! The original Chloe drew bag better have its own phone charger port and wifi connection for the £25 dupe to be not worth the money!!! 🙈

[@FreddyMyLove]

Haha I see where you're coming from! I think it's not for me to say whether the Chloe is worth the money or not as I don't have as much experience in luxury products! I do however have a LOT of experience in affordable products, and I've definitely had many many bags that were a LOT better quality for the price, which was the reason for that comment!! I think it should have been no more than £15 based on it's quality! x

[@everythingcourtneyb5089]

Yeah I get that! I actually bought the dupe bag after seeing the real Chloe drew in your collection! I don’t mind the quality of mine! I’ve ordered a few times from websites like Zaful, Shein etc. The quality is always hit and miss, you could buy the same item twice and get a totally different product it seems! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my comment 😊 I’m a huge fan & love your videos so much! 🤩 x

[@andreas_adventures]

I think it is overpriced. A lot of the things from those sites are expensive for the quality. I've gotten a few bags that come broken and you can't return them. It's really only worth the risk if you aren't spending a lot.

[@everythingcourtneyb5089]

Andrea Ryan yes I agree! I’ve ordered a couple of times, I’m normally quite lucky with the quality but I never have any luck with the sizing!!

[@heyitszephanie4936]

This video was very great!!!!! Hater will keep hating because of how successful you are!!!! Keep on doing you freddy because i adore you and all your fans do ok?? Love ya❤

[@hallereilly3187]

I love your videos ☺️ They just make me so happy!!! Also you're gorgeous 💕

[@kennedym.4315]

You are so honest in your videos! You are my absolute favorite youtuber!❣

[@susanmulvey6311]

I love your honesty and how you giggled about somethings! It was like sitting with a friend and going over things we bought. I can't stand itchy clothes, maybe put a slip under the dress to be able to wear it. Great video, as always.

[@FreddyMyLove]

Susan Mulvey awwww yay! That's exactly how I wanted it to feel! So glad you enjoyed it ☺️💗

[@SabrinaDA79]

That pink bag it’s precious! Who cares if it looks like a Chanel, is cool! ☺️

[@Minicreature1]

10:57 Seriously Freddy! The idea of the video is amazing but the comment was so unnecessary and mean. Not everyone has the money and some people actually work very very hard for that money and they're not ready to spend it on designer bags worth more than than £1000. And throughout the whole video you just kept on making snarky comments. I'm sorry but it is a cheap website for people with a budget what did you expect! You just sound snobby and spoiled throughout the whole video.

[@Twinkie989]

There was nothing offensive about that comment. You are bringing your own baggage into this.

[@FreddyMyLove]

Minicreature1 this is so sad! My intention when I said that was to stress the fact that I don't think it's normal to spend so much money on a bag. I didn't even buy mine! So many youtubers make it seem so normal and part of daily life to splurge so much money on accessories. I don't want to make my followers feel like that, so I always make sure I don't come across like I think it's normal to spend that much! I'm sad you've taken it that way, the intention was the opposite. I don't think I come across that way at all, personally!

[@iamtheafraid]

was it a present or gifted from blogger rewards?

[@sopheekerslake9314]

Minicreature1 the whole purpose of this video was to create cheaper alternatives for people who couldn't afford more high street pieces of clothing. Nothing wrong with the comment Freddy made.

[@kirakjear9812]

I knew someone would get offended by that comment! I can afford the bag, so it doesn’t offend me. What does offend me is copy bags. They are totally wrong. Fashion plagiarism. Drives me crazy 😳

[@marinagomezmoreno5198]

Really guys stop hating on Freddy she has the right to share her opinion and I agree with her. Rude people are so annoying

[@modernmarieantoinette3710]

As much as I love you and your channel, Freddy, I do agree that you could’ve worded some of your critiques in a nicer way.

[@samanthalang4877]

Genuinely didn't want this video to end💗

[@hannahm4600]

Freddy My Love absolutely loved it! You picked out some beautiful things💗

[@jenaharding868]

this was the most enjoyable and useful viedo ive ever seen xx

[@FreddyMyLove]

TheEquestrianLife so glad you liked it! I had such fun filming 💗

[@staceytaylor9879]

Never normally comment...but I have to say something here. Freddy's content is always honest and completely unbiased. She would never recommend a product she wasn't fully behind. Her content is always original and she always put her subscribers first. For example, she doesn't do a lot of sponsored videos, and I would imagine she would get asked to do this often. Many other KZbinrs will do a video simply based on the fact that they are being sponsored and not even care about the quality of a product. She takes her job as an influencer seriously, and at no point were her comments meant to be condensing or rude. If you were offended, then I am afraid you a reaching for a conclusion that doesn't actually exist. People are just jealous, jealousy is a form of hate built upon insecurity. ✌️

[@Purpelspy]

10:56 “if you don’t have that to spend, which I imagine you don’t” sis knows us too well lmaoooo EDIT: ok lmao y’all, she actually works really hard for the stuff she buys, so stay fake woke and pressed

[@dianethompson9525]

That white dress that you love with fake pearl pockets-take it to your tailor and have them make a high quality copy of it!! I’m a seamstress and that dress doesn’t look like it would be that hard to copy!! As for dresses feeling itchy-people don’t wear slips anymore I guess, but that totally fixes itch and see thru problems!!

[@ingridchan6855]

I love that she links everything by how she reviews it

[@FreddyMyLove]

Ingrid Chan 😁😁💕

[@jodie4748]

Great video Freddie! I’ve always wanted to order from She In but been a bit nervous about whether the product photo will match IRL but now I’m generally considering making a purchase! And don’t worry about the negative comments, I don’t think you sounded snobby at all! When you requested to do an honest review you’re not going to sit there and say that a fake dupe is just as good as the real thing! So thank you for your honesty :)

[@talli8cakes]

I’d love to know the ratio of people upset with this video in terms of where you’re from....I’m British and don’t understand why people think she’s stuck up in this video....complete oversensitivity. Also glad you didn’t buy the boots as the brand has already ripped them off from another designer but at the same time, if you loved them and support or even have no opinion on the brand that made them yourself, you shouldn’t let the thought of what others might think put you off.

[@relly3663]

I literally can't BELIEVE how infuriating some people are... How could anyone possibly be offended by YOUR (truthful) opinion on something YOU'VE bought? I can't stand these people feeling 'personally attacked' because you've said the quality of an item doesn't feel good (how is that stuck up/snobby?!) *endless eye rolls* 🙄 As a whole, I thought this was a great video! I loved the idea of comparing a dupe to the real item & the different price ranges you bought literally shows that the brand is just hit or miss but overall, you gave your honest opinion & in my eyes, that's much more valuable! 💋

[@FreddyMyLove]

Thank you darling ❤ really appreciate it xx

[@lilmiss6665]

yay for freddy for not buying ivanka trumps products 😂😘

[@mitzymorris6573]

Hannah Barker Reason I didn’t buy that boot as well.

[@ACTOYZ]

I’ve had a personal experience with these websites and some of the stuff is genuinely overpriced for what the quality is, yet still cheap for most people, e.g £20 shoes, cheap but still a decent price and you’d expect a decent quality but they can often be quite poorly made. I don’t understand how some people can take offence so easily! I would be giggling myself at how good they copied the bag too! and if it was cheap I would also be like ‘OMG’ and I would buy the bag myself anyway! I think some people are a little insecure in themselves and feel targeted easily, but luckily most people are open minded and are happy with what they have and don’t feel targeted 💕

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

The best way to get really nice clothes, which fit perfect and flatter your body, - is to order your blouse or skirt from the local tailor. It will be more expensive, but it will be something ideal&unique, which nobody else has. And in this way one supports local masters, who pay taxes in YOUR country and do all the work themselves,- not using slaveworkers, like in some poor Asian countries.

[@AngelicWitch444]

For Christmas 👏👏😍😭 thank you so much ♡♡♡ it will be amazing if more people had your opinion. I'm one of those local tailors 😆😆 so reading this almost made me cry ♡♡♡♡

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

I am glad if I could make you happy! The truth is, that now the process of fitting clothes is turned upside down. Industrially made clothes supposed to fit so called "average body" - a non-existing phenomenon. Nobody is average. As a result, however "ordinary" figure the person has, some part of shirt/skirt/trousers will be wrong. Too wide around the waist, too narrow around the chest, too big or too small around the wrist. If it fits around the hip, than trouser legs are too short, or it hangs around the waist like lifebuoy,- and so on. As a result, people think, that there is something wrong with their figures, and try to starve themselves in order to become as flat as possible and easier fit into the mediocre clothes. But it should be - and it has been for centuries! - other way round. Clothes should suit&fit a person,- not a person should try to squeeze herself/himself into the clothes. Expensive blouse, which does not fit a certain body, looks cheap&common. Many people buy lots of clothes, which looked good in store, but wear only two-three pieces, which look good on them. So the logical solution is not to spend 100 for several blouses, which will hang in the dark corner of the wardrobe forever, but to ask a good tailor to make for you ONE WONDERFUL PIECE, which you will wear often,- something of your favorite color, which flatters your complexion, of your favorite comfortable material, which caresses your skin, and of the best shape, which refines your figure without compromising the freedom of movements. Buying ready-made clothes, person can just dream about such a combination of different advantages; but when ordering something from the good tailor, it is a reality, it is a norm. Indeed, ordering clothes from the local tailor, we both do ourselves a favor and spare environment, because clothes are made here and not delivered from other end of the world. It is also possible to buy textiles, which are produced in your own country,- and even from the locally grown linen or other good material.

[@mstoughton]

i honestly don’t understand why people are hating on freddy, there is absolutely nothing that she has done wrong! all this video is is reviewing a brand that isn’t so popular and seeing if it’s worth the money! in no way was freddy being snarky, she was simply stating facts. if you feel the need to hate remove yourself from freddy’s amazing video.

[@FreddyMyLove]

Thank you so much 💗

[@destinyt836]

I always look forward to your videos! I just love them! 💕💕😊

[@laura.elizaa]

If it’s itchy, wear a tank top/vest top underneath. That’s what I do and it works great! (Also that tea abt the shoe brand....)

[@andreas_adventures]

They get away with ripping of designer styles because they don't have the logo. Also, I totally know what you mean about being uninspired by what's in stores. My style is super feminine with lots of embellishment and most things I find are basic or 90"s inspired.

[@darby4811]

You should do these Shein videos seasonally! I love your style and it is so amazing to have affordable options

[@tayapanter7724]

Freddy your so timeless with your style. You can never tell with online websites if it will be amazing or a flop. Btw there is nothing wrong with loving shein! Everyone loves a bargain and a good deal. But quilted bags are in all high street brands like forever 21 and Topshop I get it’s a “copy” but really it’s just an inspiration. Maybe you can try fashionova I saw gabi demartino do a haul from them and I think you might like them. No hate I really enjoyed the video xxxx

[@FreddyMyLove]

Taya Xx thanks so much! Yes I agree and I really love the quilted style! 💗

[@KvickRodny]

Seriously can’t understand why people are complaining. I love this kind of video and I like that you’re honest. x

[@lali098]

i'm not here to judge anyone. nut i think it's so ridiculous that youtubers need to be afraid to buy from a certain brand, talk about a certain product or even visit a certain country just bc some people don't like where it cam from/who made it/ the political views of the brand/country etc... it's their own life! they can choose on what spend their money without being afraid to offend anyone! it is not a political channel! so if you want to talk cout politics, make your own channel or forum for it! it's just so stupid that she can't buy a pair of boots bc she is afraid offending anyone! if it offends you, you are welcome to unsbscribe! but she is an adult person, with it's own views and values, and she should choose what to do in her life. btw, stuart weitzman has really similar boots! (:

[@FreddyMyLove]

Thank you for your comment! :D x

[@melissapisarski9799]

Hi Freddy! I love your videos, though I am fairly new to them. I appreciate you stepping out of your comfort zone to provide us with this experience. This was actually the first video of yours that I saw when I started watching a couple weeks ago. I've returned to it to make a suggestion: As a frequent Shein shopper (and someone obviously on a tight clothing budget), I was wondering if you would consider returning to Shein, but not making another purchase. Instead, just make suggestions of clothes others could buy that suit your style. I found this video very inspiring because it helped me find classy, classic pieces on Shein that I may have otherwise missed, as well as the designer dupes that I couldn't have identified on my own. Your insight would be helpful here for some of us budget shoppers AND it could make for an inexpensive spin-off series of hypothetical hauls for the preppy, classic girl. Anyway, I hope you see this. Thanks again for your video.

[@SongRainbows]

OKAY-- Important reminder. The culture in the U.K. is for women to be very well put together, polite, and proper. That does NOT mean they are snobby. It's just that if you are American it may seem like a stark contrast to how people are here. You cannot assume someone's snobby because their culture is different than yours. I also see people comment that Freddy acts like her life is "too perfect." The girl is just trying to put out quality videos. Sheesh. Everyone has struggles, it doesn't mean they have to put them on the internet.

Aw I love Patricia Bright too :) I feel like British youtubers have such an unique and refreshing elegant style after reading the comments I don’t understand how so many people found your comments rude, tbh I love your honesty and I understand that some people can get offended but you were just being honest and that’s what most people search in reviews… you are lucky to be able to get designer bags so ofc it’s normal for you to be surprised when you see/touch a fake one, I don’t agree with this you said you were making fun. Anyway keep doing what you do :)

[@bringbackollg4518]

I do not think that you were trying to be offensive and I don't think that was your attention but some of the comments you made could have sounded snobby to alot of people. Personally, as a vegan that does not support any animal cruelty, I was offended about the comments you made about the faux leather. Not all faux leather is like that. Look at stella mccaurtney, she has amazing luxury faux leather bags! Please do not promote this cruelty because a life had to be taken just for a bag,. Please do some more research! watch "The leather industry in 60 seconds" and you will be shocked. No hate, I genuinley just hope you take that into consideration. Love your channel & all the pink! x :)

[@acf427]

I adore your clothing hauls, especially the try-ons! I am really interested in seeing how you style the clothes you buy. Quick video idea, maybe a style 101 like what to pair with basics and/or statement pieces? I love your fashion sense so much! Xx
