Hi Brittany, I really feel you don't need to apologise for garments no longer being available ... i think it shows they're items which are well loved and used and a refreshing message from anyone else promoting throwaway fast fashion ♡ I've only been following you since last autumn but it's been the best YT discovery of 2020! Thanks for all the inspiration x
any chance we could get a top list of youtube channels that you find inspiring? in a similar vein to yours? also are you happy with your Hay sofa? i love that brand and have had that sofa in mind for some time so just wondering how you feel about it having lived with it for a bit. would love to know your homeware buying process. great vid, thanks.
Anybody else have any suggestions? Accounts like Britney and Lizzy Hadfield? And any mens fashion accounts that are of similar vibe? I Find most menswear account are streetwear based or crazy Americans that scream gentlemen at me and telling me to be dapper a phrase that makes my blood run cold haha. Any contemporary Homeware accounts? Thanks in advance!
running questions: -what made you want to start running? -best running tip? (get a running buddy? invest in good trainers? don't overdo it?) -do you think anyone can run? or would you say genetics play into it? -changes you've noticed since running [consistently]? -best exercise to do alongside? (yoga? pilates? strength training?) -shin splint! your experience and best treatment! -do you have any running ambitions? (ironman? marathon?) -running with weak bones? :s
Seeing a new video from you seriously always makes my day! They're my favorite way to take a break from work. Can't wait to curl up with some tea and watch! Hope you're well x
Every time I watch your videos they inspire me so much, the main part why I love these outfit "Vlogs" are because the style you have is very unisex and I love trying to incorporate some of your insop into my attire. Lovely video, just what I need on a Tuesday evening x
This vlog proves that effortlessly minimalist elegance can come in many forms, from the all-black walking outfit (The Row knit! Goldsign jeans - perfect length! Legres boots!) to your genius color-blocking (the Studio Nicholson blue knit with grey pants and the Kassl coats - especially that camel one). Thank you for allowing us to get a glimpse of your style and the thought process behind it each week!
Seeing your happiness over the book light reminded me of when my granddad gifted me one when I was around 7 years old to read books past my bedtime. Beautiful vlog!
I would really enjoy if you spoke about when you began running, how you got into it, and how to push past that wall that makes it hard to consistently do it. beautiful vlog as always :)
Is it weird that I actually squealed with joy when I saw your video in my subscription box? Absolutely adore your videos and have been referencing back to them, especially your outfit videos 💛
Obsesseddddd with the long vlogs. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t listen to anyone complaining about the length. No one is forcing them to watch them 😂🙄
Thank you! It's difficult to find a balance that pleases everyone. (Answer: you can't please everyone 😂) plus I'm in a lockdown, so I've got A LOTTTT of time on my hands to make long vlogs.
Hi Brittany, if I may, my florist told to put a very little amount of water for tulips, around two/three inches. Thank you for the book reccomendations, I loved The Guest List!
Brittany, I only very recently discovered your channel on youtube and may I say thank you for making my life more calm. I love the fact that you easily, almost seamlessly, include books, food, wine, walks, clothes, Covid, problems with sleep, your house, your life in the vlogs. I find myself watching your blogs as a reset in my everyday life. So, thank you.
there is something about the colour of the studio nicholson blue jumper ... I dont think I could even wear such a bright colour, I would probably just hang it on my wall and devour it with my eyes ... its like the colour equivalent of an incredibly rich chocolate taste ... hmm.. 💙
hi! this is the first time I've ever commented a youtube video with a request, I'd LOVE to see how you store and organise your clothes / basics / layering pieces, when you mentioned heattech I found myself wondering in what section of the wardrobe you keep them in. never a question I thought I'd ask but these are the times we are living in. You have so many beautiful pieces that look so well kept that it'd be great to see how you keep them organised. Thanks!
a long vlog, yay. i'd be super interested in what you eat in a week. i feel i'm always buying the exact same things in the supermarket and need inspiration.
I can't find (or remember) which video it was where you talked about the booklight you bought. But oh my gosh. What a revelation. I bought one as well thinking it was just for those insomnia-riddled-nights, so I wouldn't keep my husband awake. Alas! I use it ALL the time now! Even in the daylight! (Granted, that was one very overcast day...) Thanks for the recommendation!!! 💕💕
Thank you for your outfit inspiration, even when nowhere to go, I plan in my head for the time ahead. Also, I swallowed The Guest List book you recommended and found new energy for reading again. So thank you!
I really enjoy when you bring up running in your vlogs. I really like that you include it as part of your day when you run - it’s actually inspiring to show the natural way it’s part of your life. Honestly, I think it was one of the things about your videos that really got me more interested following you. I like that it seems to be a spiritual journey and not 100% fitness driven.
A running chat with a lot of info would be great and highly appreciated ! Maybe you could touch on the topic of food, aka fasted running, energy levels etc.
Would love a video about your running journey, how you got into it and built up your pace/distance. My questions would be, do you have any tips to make running less painful (knees, hips, ankles)? And how to build up distance over 5k? And also playlist suggestions would be great!
Always enjoy your natural & realistic vlogs , look forward to hearing all about your experiences with running, would really like to get into it long term as an exercise and for mental health 💚✨
I'm one of those people who asked about running. I'm also not interested in too complicated talk. I'm not a runner, but would like to be. I am in the middle of a separation after a long relationship and suddenly find myself alone in a pandemic. I get so inspired by hearing people like yourself who wake up to a non-inspiring day and feel that you can turn it around by running (ofc i understand that it is not always possible). I would like to have the benefits of running. I have never trained regularly and therefore have poor condition. How did you get into running when you started? tips for us who struggle in the beginning? can you name some benifits that you personally get out of running?
Outfits and books - my two favorite things 😍 quick note on the blue jumper which looks great on you btw not sure if anyone has already said this but I think the reason why it works so well with the camel coloured coat is because it’s a very similar hue to orange which is directly complementary to blue on the color wheel and provides a really good contrast 😊 so actually a good tip for when you want to try wearing a certain color but you’re not sure how to pair it with anything other than achromatic or neutral colors is to find its direct complementary color and play around with the different tones and shades of that color 👌🏼 anyway, great vlog as always Brittany!
Hey Brittany, it would be great if you could talk a bit about your gait analysis in the context of running in your next video. I have problems with my ankles whenever I run, which is a shame because I’d really like to get into running. Your mention of gait analysis just made me think whether that’s something I should look into..would be great to hear more about where you did it, if it made a difference to your experience of running etc. Thank you :) love your vlogs - oh and severance has been on my book shelf for a while, after you raving about it I might finally give it a read! Hope you have a nice evening x
I would loooove a video on running! I find your strava super motivating for me to go out for a run so would love to hear you talk more about your running journey/why you like to run/what kind of running/running goals for the year :)
Truly adore your vlogs! Would be so interested in some more running content! Some questions: - Have you ever considered a running watch? - Favourite activewear for running? - Other training you do to improve your running? - Your thoughts on the best ways to improve running and journey from a 5km to 10km? - What do you listen to whilst running?
Would love to see a week of outfits but with occasion wear that you no longer have places to wear. I’ve been wearing dresses around the house on Fridays since I’m not leaving anyways and it’s been a fun change up. I’m sure you have a larger supply and could do a weeks worth
interesting what you said about the secret history! as someone that loves greek mythology that was a huge draw for me and it’s now probably my favorite book, and many of the people i know feel the same. it’s interesting to hear how someone less familiar with that felt about it. i’m so glad you enjoyed it in the end!
I’m inspired by your refined, pared back style! I almost convinced myself to get one of the exquisite Kassl raincoats but then remembered that I live in California. Best wishes and keep safe.
Running question: I recall you having some knee pain at one point last summer, can you speak about persevering through injury/having to take running breaks etc?
I remember I was gifted my first clip on reading light in 2001 when I read the first Harry Potter book as a child. It had two double A batteries inside and was so heavy that it wouldn’t stay upright on my tiny kids book 😂 Glad they’ve improved
Ahhhh, super excited for the running talk! I have a few questions: 1) You had mentioned in previous vlogs that your pace is always under 6' for the whole run so my question is, have you always been this fast since you first started running? Or was it something you achieved quite gradually? 2) Trail or road? 3) Early morning runs - any advice on how to find the energy for one on an empty stomach? Even if I eat, I always feel drained for the rest of the day after mine... 4) Any good running playlists on Spotify? Many thanks for the great vlogs as always ♡
Hey Brittany! I would love to hear more about your running - one of my goals this year is to get into running, but I'm finding it SO hard to get properly into it :( do you have any tips for beginners? Sometimes I get a bit of calf/shin pain too which puts me off, but apparently that can be normal too for people completely new to running! I joined a running club which really helped and managed to run a 5k, but now that has had to stop, I've struggled to go on my own! Thank you for your lovely vlogs - they're always so calming to watch! xx
I am a runner too and sometimes I find it so difficult to keep motivation if the weathers not great, etc. So, I guess my question is how you keep yourself motivated to run, when you don’t want to, but know you will feel better once it’s finished?
Brittany, I really like your vlogs, even when there is not much going on. It gives me comfort and I could listen to you talk all day! I'm looking forward to more information on running. I'm not a runner as such, but have been attempting it recently at university, as a beginner, and would love to know your tips! I also love to hear what you have been reading as i'm studying English Lit. Your recommendations I have found to be great. I read 'Kitchen' and now I'm reading The Secret History! I would love to hear more about which tv shows you have been watching recently x
Hi Brittany! Thank you for the vlogs, they are always something I look forward to! I do have some ideas/requests for future vlogs. I really would love for you to talk about how you style interior-wise. Like how you would style a shelf for example. I believe you have said you worked a visual merchandiser before, so you might have some tricks? I also would love to hear you talk about your art book collection at some point. Where you buy them, what you are looking for, which artists you like in particular etc. Thank you for your calming videos and your wonderful style, I love it so much.
i read severance the first week of our quarantine in NYC last year and it really *set the tone* for the past year for me. not necessarily a bad thing, imo.
Lovely blog as usual, I feel like I'm going slightly insane from this lack of doing but your vlogs remind me to enjoy the little moments, went out running in the mornings this week to change the course of my day too!
I noticed the Fran Lebowitz book on your floor. I had never heard of her until I watched the Netflix series that came out recently and now I'm obsessed!
Looking forward to the running FAQ. I do have a question: I run almost every day in spring/ summer and fall. But I never manage to keep it up in the winter months. I‘m at work all day and I just hate running when it‘s dark. At what time of day do you usually run? Do you ever run later in the evening or in the early morning? Any tips for running in the dark (thinking about getting some kind of alarm device). Oh - and: Any good running playlists that you could share?
Brittany you should totally get a kindle with a backlight. Makes reading sooo enjoyable! Esp since I read in bed on my side so it’s really easy to hold
Running questions: Do you keep a log/register of the distances you run? Do you prefer listening to music or to a podcast while you run? Personally I find that music is quite tricky because it affect my speed in a negative way. I much prefer to occupy my mind on interesting topics from my fav podcasts. Anyways, thank you for the amazing content! I really enjoy it. Warm hug from Uruguay.
In regards to running; What is your experience with injuries and/or overloading? Has it been an issue for you? How do you prevent it? And what do you find helps when injured in regards to your mental health? As an eager runner myself it is a constant fear - and distress when it happens - especially the psychological aspect of not being able to get out! Love from Copenhagen - Your content is so appreciated and inspiring!
Hi Ms Bathgate👋🏻 Thank you for the continuing superb content! So...I have a mighty bright light from many years ago (for music concerts actually)..didn’t even think to pull out for reading🤦🏻♀️ thanks so much for the tip! Its a game changer😉
As someone who also mostly wears neutrals my brain exploded when I discovered how well bright and navy blue go with camel shades, so timeless but somehow not classic
Brittany, just want to say how much adore your vlogs and also book recommendations, thank you for creating these videos. I too used to run in those new balances a couple of years ago but they were so heavy by comparison to other trainers - once you've worn out your Asics highly recommend trying Hoka trainers, the lightest most cloud-like trainers I've tried! Made a huge difference to my form and running generally. x
I'm a runner, too. Just got new (odd looking) shoes from Hoka One One today that I'm excited to try out. I'm surprised you've struggled so hard to find a new running jacket! Brooks, Saucony and Lululemon have always been reliable for me. I've run several races in the same Saucony jacket and tights, and they're still holding up after more than five years. *Running question* : Have you done any races and/or are you planning to after the pandemic has passed? I do it for the social aspects only. Races are such supportive, fun spaces. It's the only thing I've done where complete strangers clap for me and cheer me on. 😉
funnily enough the asics are really popular amongst the street wear company especially their black colour ways and their collaboration with kiko kostadinov
I was planning on purchasing the new balance 990's as a fashion sneaker. I know they are viewed as a big of a clunky dad shoe but I'm so drawn to them and can imagine them styled with cute spring/summer outfits.
I have also not heard of the book light, so thanks for discovering this. About running, I have just started so any tips for beginners would be welcome, and not wishing to be weird what do you eat before a run, when is best time of day to run etc. what works best in these situations. Loving all of your content in general. Thanks so much Tara
I read Severance in February/March 2020 just as everything was starting up (not intentionally linked, it was just a coincidence) and it was definitely eerie!
Just discovered you in the last few weeks and can't stop binge watching all your videos!! Can you recommend your book reading light? Where is it from? 🙏
Hi! I am so excited for you to speak about running. Do you have advise for people who struggle to remain motivated? Also outfit ideas for running in colder weather? I love watching all of your vlogs and can't wait for next week's!
I think I have a similar hair texture to you and I recently figured out a great way to style it! Inspired by the curly girl method, though not full curly girl method, I apply gel (yes, gel) to my wait when it's SOAKING wet, then curl mouse, then I plop it and let it dry for as long as possible. Then take it out and don't touch it until it air dries or dry with a diffuser. Leaves me with ideal, beachy texture but still shiny and not frizzy!
I own the same brown Uniqlo jumper! I actually own something that you do...so exciting for me!💕 lol. Love your vlogs & maybe one day I’ll be able to afford a few more items from your wardrobe..you’re my style inspiration🙌🏾
Hi Brittany, I really feel you don't need to apologise for garments no longer being available ... i think it shows they're items which are well loved and used and a refreshing message from anyone else promoting throwaway fast fashion ♡ I've only been following you since last autumn but it's been the best YT discovery of 2020! Thanks for all the inspiration x
I agree! I’m almost in my mid 30s and it’s been amazing discovering someone like Brittany.
Regarding the “big light“ you referred to as a very British term ... we in Germany also call it like that (das „große Licht“) 😊
Czech has this expression as well, though I don't have the expertise to tell whether we haven't just taken it over it from German 🤔🙂
any chance we could get a top list of youtube channels that you find inspiring? in a similar vein to yours? also are you happy with your Hay sofa? i love that brand and have had that sofa in mind for some time so just wondering how you feel about it having lived with it for a bit. would love to know your homeware buying process. great vid, thanks.
Yes to Brittany"s top list of youtube channels 😃
omg this would be amazing!
Anybody else have any suggestions? Accounts like Britney and Lizzy Hadfield? And any mens fashion accounts that are of similar vibe? I Find most menswear account are streetwear based or crazy Americans that scream gentlemen at me and telling me to be dapper a phrase that makes my blood run cold haha. Any contemporary Homeware accounts? Thanks in advance!
Always love your calming vlogs Brittany, thanks for sharing your life with us - I find myself playing your vlogs in the background while I work (:
running questions:
-what made you want to start running?
-best running tip? (get a running buddy? invest in good trainers? don't overdo it?)
-do you think anyone can run? or would you say genetics play into it?
-changes you've noticed since running [consistently]?
-best exercise to do alongside? (yoga? pilates? strength training?)
-shin splint! your experience and best treatment!
-do you have any running ambitions? (ironman? marathon?)
-running with weak bones? :s
Seeing a new video from you seriously always makes my day! They're my favorite way to take a break from work. Can't wait to curl up with some tea and watch! Hope you're well x
Me 2 friend
Every time I watch your videos they inspire me so much, the main part why I love these outfit "Vlogs" are because the style you have is very unisex and I love trying to incorporate some of your insop into my attire. Lovely video, just what I need on a Tuesday evening x
I'd personally really enjoy a video about your running, even if it were to be sponsored and you make it look nice. As long as it stays genuine.
Yes please to your running playlists and favorite running gear 🖤
This vlog proves that effortlessly minimalist elegance can come in many forms, from the all-black walking outfit (The Row knit! Goldsign jeans - perfect length! Legres boots!) to your genius color-blocking (the Studio Nicholson blue knit with grey pants and the Kassl coats - especially that camel one). Thank you for allowing us to get a glimpse of your style and the thought process behind it each week!
Seeing your happiness over the book light reminded me of when my granddad gifted me one when I was around 7 years old to read books past my bedtime. Beautiful vlog!

I always look forward to your book recommendations. Love the vlogs, thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
Your pure happiness and joy at the book lamp is why I keep watching you, Brittany. I couldn't stop smiling.
Obsesseddddd with the long vlogs. Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t listen to anyone complaining about the length. No one is forcing them to watch them 😂🙄
Thank you! It's difficult to find a balance that pleases everyone. (Answer: you can't please everyone 😂) plus I'm in a lockdown, so I've got A LOTTTT of time on my hands to make long vlogs.
Would love a wardrobe review of lounge wear x
Your outfits and space are always inspiring, everything around you is in style. Thanks for sharing your life and stay safe🤍
Loved the mix of outfits, books and general chats! I would love to watch a running video/vlog :)
Hi Brittany, if I may, my florist told to put a very little amount of water for tulips, around two/three inches. Thank you for the book reccomendations, I loved The Guest List!
Brittany, I only very recently discovered your channel on youtube and may I say thank you for making my life more calm. I love the fact that you easily, almost seamlessly, include books, food, wine, walks, clothes, Covid, problems with sleep, your house, your life in the vlogs. I find myself watching your blogs as a reset in my everyday life. So, thank you.
This is so lovely to hear. Thank you for watching ❤️
i would highly recommend looking into Joel Sternfeld photography - his favorite weather for photography is actually overcast / grey / rainy.
there is something about the colour of the studio nicholson blue jumper ... I dont think I could even wear such a bright colour, I would probably just hang it on my wall and devour it with my eyes ... its like the colour equivalent of an incredibly rich chocolate taste ... hmm.. 💙
Omg LOVE the bright blue and brown combination?? Stunning. The push I needed to buy the brown coat I’ve been putting off 😂
I would love if you did a little cooking section or what you eat in a day!
Could you share the reading light you bought? Also this long vlog saved my day ❤️
Hi, was wondering the same and did a little research, looks like its an Omeril led light.
hi! this is the first time I've ever commented a youtube video with a request, I'd LOVE to see how you store and organise your clothes / basics / layering pieces, when you mentioned heattech I found myself wondering in what section of the wardrobe you keep them in. never a question I thought I'd ask but these are the times we are living in. You have so many beautiful pieces that look so well kept that it'd be great to see how you keep them organised. Thanks!
Agree! I'd love to see that as well!
a long vlog, yay. i'd be super interested in what you eat in a week. i feel i'm always buying the exact same things in the supermarket and need inspiration.
I feel the same! I seem to be repeating pasta and noodles over and over. 😭
I can't find (or remember) which video it was where you talked about the booklight you bought. But oh my gosh. What a revelation. I bought one as well thinking it was just for those insomnia-riddled-nights, so I wouldn't keep my husband awake. Alas! I use it ALL the time now! Even in the daylight! (Granted, that was one very overcast day...) Thanks for the recommendation!!! 💕💕
Tulips are my most favorite flower! Thanks for sharing the joy!
Thank you for your outfit inspiration, even when nowhere to go, I plan in my head for the time ahead. Also, I swallowed The Guest List book you recommended and found new energy for reading again. So thank you!

Would love your running playlist! And also j’adore the behind the scenes of the photo process. Another beautiful and truly relaxing vlog. Thank you! ✨
A running chat with a lot of info would be great and highly appreciated !
Maybe you could touch on the topic of food, aka fasted running, energy levels etc.

Love your book updates. I always find new books that I want to read
I have watched all of your vlogs and really enjoy your content, but this is terrific.. You’ve really come into your own
Thank you so much ❤️
Truly adore your vlogs! Would be so interested in some more running content! Some questions:
- Have you ever considered a running watch?
- Favourite activewear for running?
- Other training you do to improve your running?
- Your thoughts on the best ways to improve running and journey from a 5km to 10km?
- What do you listen to whilst running?
Enjoyed this very much, thank you. The blue jumper/camel coat combination is beautiful.
Would love to see a week of outfits but with occasion wear that you no longer have places to wear. I’ve been wearing dresses around the house on Fridays since I’m not leaving anyways and it’s been a fun change up. I’m sure you have a larger supply and could do a weeks worth
Yesssss book lights!! Getting one for Christmas changed my life 😂 Def convinced Ling Ma can see the future, how did she KNOW
interesting what you said about the secret history! as someone that loves greek mythology that was a huge draw for me and it’s now probably my favorite book, and many of the people i know feel the same. it’s interesting to hear how someone less familiar with that felt about it. i’m so glad you enjoyed it in the end!
I honestly find your vlogs so relaxing to watch. Always exciting to get a notification for a new upload
I’m inspired by your refined, pared back style! I almost convinced myself to get one of the exquisite Kassl raincoats but then remembered that I live in California. Best wishes and keep safe.
Running question: I recall you having some knee pain at one point last summer, can you speak about persevering through injury/having to take running breaks etc?
I remember I was gifted my first clip on reading light in 2001 when I read the first Harry Potter book as a child. It had two double A batteries inside and was so heavy that it wouldn’t stay upright on my tiny kids book 😂 Glad they’ve improved
😂😂😂
Yay! Love when you upload! :) I'm actually fond of the monochrome look! Grey coat with grey hat looks great to me hehe!
This book lamp also makes your eyes shine :D
Ahhhh, super excited for the running talk! I have a few questions: 1) You had mentioned in previous vlogs that your pace is always under 6' for the whole run so my question is, have you always been this fast since you first started running?

blue jumper looks great with camel, yes! also, i think, almost any type of blue looks really good with army/khaki green
I am a runner too and sometimes I find it so difficult to keep motivation if the weathers not great, etc. So, I guess my question is how you keep yourself motivated to run, when you don’t want to, but know you will feel better once it’s finished?

You're the first blogger I've EVER seen run in New Balances haha not sure most people realise their intended purpose
I run in New Balance trainers as well :D (other models tho)
Looking forward to the running FAQ. I do have a question: I run almost every day in spring/ summer and fall. But I never manage to keep it up in the winter months. I‘m at work all day and I just hate running when it‘s dark. At what time of day do you usually run? Do you ever run later in the evening or in the early morning? Any tips for running in the dark (thinking about getting some kind of alarm device). Oh - and: Any good running playlists that you could share?
Brittany you should totally get a kindle with a backlight. Makes reading sooo enjoyable! Esp since I read in bed on my side so it’s really easy to hold
I just can't bring myself to give up physical books 💔
Running questions: Do you keep a log/register of the distances you run? Do you prefer listening to music or to a podcast while you run? Personally I find that music is quite tricky because it affect my speed in a negative way. I much prefer to occupy my mind on interesting topics from my fav podcasts. Anyways, thank you for the amazing content! I really enjoy it. Warm hug from Uruguay.
In regards to running; What is your experience with injuries and/or overloading? Has it been an issue for you? How do you prevent it? And what do you find helps when injured in regards to your mental health?
As an eager runner myself it is a constant fear - and distress when it happens - especially the psychological aspect of not being able to get out!
Love from Copenhagen - Your content is so appreciated and inspiring!
obsessed with ur videos!
Im currently reading In the Distance, and its absolutely beautiful! Cant wait to hear how you feel about it
Hi Ms Bathgate👋🏻
Thank you for the continuing superb content! So...I have a mighty bright light from many years ago (for music concerts actually)..didn’t even think to pull out for reading🤦🏻♀️ thanks so much for the tip! Its a game changer😉
Hi Brittany, I would be interested to hear if you have any tips for progressing from a 5k to longer distances such as 10k. Much love.
Try the Ouai wave spray or air dry foam! Might help make the waves more uniform/less chaotic.
Yes Tana French! I’ve been recommending her like crazy lately. The Witch Elm is amazing. It is a stand alone book by that author
Thank you for the recommendation!
As someone who also mostly wears neutrals my brain exploded when I discovered how well bright and navy blue go with camel shades, so timeless but somehow not classic
Hahaha! So did mine!
Brittany, just want to say how much adore your vlogs and also book recommendations, thank you for creating these videos. I too used to run in those new balances a couple of years ago but they were so heavy by comparison to other trainers - once you've worn out your Asics highly recommend trying Hoka trainers, the lightest most cloud-like trainers I've tried! Made a huge difference to my form and running generally. x
I'm a runner, too. Just got new (odd looking) shoes from Hoka One One today that I'm excited to try out. I'm surprised you've struggled so hard to find a new running jacket! Brooks, Saucony and Lululemon have always been reliable for me. I've run several races in the same Saucony jacket and tights, and they're still holding up after more than five years. *Running question* : Have you done any races and/or are you planning to after the pandemic has passed? I do it for the social aspects only. Races are such supportive, fun spaces. It's the only thing I've done where complete strangers clap for me and cheer me on. 😉
funnily enough the asics are really popular amongst the street wear company especially their black colour ways and their collaboration with kiko kostadinov
I was planning on purchasing the new balance 990's as a fashion sneaker. I know they are viewed as a big of a clunky dad shoe but I'm so drawn to them and can imagine them styled with cute spring/summer outfits.
I have also not heard of the book light, so thanks for discovering this. About running, I have just started so any tips for beginners would be welcome, and not wishing to be weird what do you eat before a run, when is best time of day to run etc. what works best in these situations. Loving all of your content in general. Thanks so much Tara
A good tip for running shoes/clothes is On :) it’s expensive but very high-quality gear!
I love your book reviews. I have discovered multiple books through your channel. Many of which I can not recommend enough to friends. Thank you.
You seem to be in a better place. So genuinely happy for you.
I read Severance in February/March 2020 just as everything was starting up (not intentionally linked, it was just a coincidence) and it was definitely eerie!
Just discovered you in the last few weeks and can't stop binge watching all your videos!! Can you recommend your book reading light? Where is it from? 🙏
Hi! I am so excited for you to speak about running. Do you have advise for people who struggle to remain motivated? Also outfit ideas for running in colder weather? I love watching all of your vlogs and can't wait for next week's!
lovely vlog as always Brittany
I don't think I've seen you as happy as when you were talking about your reading light 😂
You know we enjoiy a good hour of you, Brit
Thank you so much ❤️
I think I have a similar hair texture to you and I recently figured out a great way to style it! Inspired by the curly girl method, though not full curly girl method, I apply gel (yes, gel) to my wait when it's SOAKING wet, then curl mouse, then I plop it and let it dry for as long as possible. Then take it out and don't touch it until it air dries or dry with a diffuser. Leaves me with ideal, beachy texture but still shiny and not frizzy!
I keep hearing about the plop method! Right, I'm going to do some research and give it a try. Thank you for this. x
As always, loved this week’s vlog. Thank you.
Thank you! ❤️
Is it December again? Cause three BB vlogs in one week sure feels a lot like Christmas ❤️🎉
I own the same brown Uniqlo jumper! I actually own something that you do...so exciting for me!💕 lol. Love your vlogs & maybe one day I’ll be able to afford a few more items from your wardrobe..you’re my style inspiration🙌🏾
omg! I bought In The Distance just last month - haven't managed to read it yet but this was certainly a motivator
your hair @ 41 MIN is my hair EVERY damn day
Same!
