Jennifer your hair really does look great and that necklace is so beautiful. 💕🌷 I have not watched the show as I heard it's rather raunchy. Smut is not of interest to me at all no matter how they dress it up. The time period on the other hand is one of my absolute favorites. Empire style dresses are the most flattering dresses I own, I love them and they are marvelously comfortable. I thought most homes already had at least 1 full tea service set, so I'm surprised and delighted it's having a resurgence in popularity. 😊
I'm afraid I've no opinion on Regencycore at the moment as I'm really disheartened to see the author of that Vogue article spelled "tonne" as "ton". Spellcheck is not a substitute for proofreading and my seventh grade journalism teacher would be horrified. Arrgh!
After Netflix did a number on my beloved Anne of Green Gables, I no longer watch anything new or trending on it. It’s nice to know that for once I’m ahead of the trends with my pearl earrings, tea set and no makeup look 🥰🥰
I was excited when I heard about Bridgerton coming out! I really wish it was a clean series. But after looking at the parent guide I knew I would never be able to watch it. It's so sad that so many shows have unnecessary things in them.
The corset top trend is kind of cute, but it also makes me giggle a little, because corsets and stays (stays were the undergarment worn during the Regency; corsets had not been invented yet) were never ever ever worn against bare skin. Putting the actresses in stays without a chemise underneath is a crime against historical costuming. (And don't get me started on the tightlacing, that wasn't a thing, especially with empire dresses.) I don't really see how the make up look has anything to do with Regency fashion. If you want the look, focus on clear skin, a little blush, and mascara, nothing more. They were all about the clear skin. I love the beautiful tea sets and wish I could drink tea! I'm glad elegance is coming back.
What makes me giggle about corsets is that rejection of them was the first part of the modern day feminist/women’s suffrage movement. We’ve come full circle! 😂
Natural make-up....yessss! I'm 58 and I've found that for me, less is more, and moisture is queen! I wear very little makeup, but always add a bit of light, cream blush and then mascara. Done! Great trend, in my opinion. Tea sets -- I have had a beautiful, floral, Japanese (second hand) tea pot for many years and I love it. Also....many various teacups and saucers -- some were gifted, some inherited, and some thrifted. You are SO right when you say, "You feel special when someone pours you tea from a beautiful teapot into a pretty cup." I agree!
I have loved the regency era dresses since I first watched the 1995 BBC version of Pride & Prejudice (as a teen). I’m glad more feminine styles are coming back ‘on trend.’
I loved Bridgerton! Such a fun show and I absolutely adored all of the gorgeous costumes! I really hope we see a lot of new styles that have a regency flair.
I started to watch Bridgerton. There was a very vulgar inappropriate mature rated scene only 5 minutes into the show! Very distasteful and disappointing that Hollywood thinks you have to have this in order to make good television!! I love period films however I'm not a fan of Bridgerton.
I love that it seems a love for beautiful things is coming back. While I think shows and movies play a big role, I think our channels have also encouraged such searches, reigniting a lost love perhaps. I too have never watched the show and probably won’t but it’s fun to look at the costumes 🌹
I enjoy my humble Brown Betty teapots from England. They have an interesting history too. I find that they make excellent tea by allowing room for the tea leaves to swirl around. These teapots are available in Etsy shops and are in many second hand shops. I make tea for my husband who has been working from home for the past year and is much too busy to come down to tea. We joke that he is “nailed to his chair “ so I bring his tea to him. He enjoys his large cup of tea at 3:00 with a little bowl of fruit and a cookie. Brown Betty teapots come in various sizes. The small ones are very cute and the large ones are great for a party !
If you love learning about Regency England, you should read Georgette Heyer’s Regency romance novels. NOT your typical romance novels. Historically accurate, entertaining, funny and clean.
I love the makeup. Reminds me of my look. I've been doing Korean skin care for about five years. Excellent skin care gives me that beautiful glass skin with a lovely healthy glow with minimal makeup. I love everything simple, comfortable, but elegant.
@@Melshed Google the science of korean skin care. Its all about hydration and exfoliating dead skin cell. On RUclips listen to hyram "korean skin care vs American skin care." My skin looks 15 years younger. I use very little makeup and my skin has a youthful shine Its not for everybody but I really like it. I've gotten a great benefit doing that routine.💕
Yes, I’ve been into K Beauty for a few years too! The products are inexpensive but high quality at the same time, the ingredients are great and the products don’t have that ‘chemical’ smell that so many Western cosmetics have. And Asian sunscreens are incredible (in spite of the recent scandals).
@@djlivvy46 Yes, korean skin care products are amazing. I'm sure you do your research and the science behind their skincare is five years ahead of us. I bet your skin looks 15 years younger, with that childlike healthy glow.
I'm all for the Regencycore look - love the more feminine look and anything that encourages tea is great. I suffered through two episodes of Bridgerton and thought the show was awful, really awful - I really don't get why this show is a hit but if it brings back good manners and dress then wonderful.
You do these informative videos so well, Jennifer. Like you, I do not have Netflix, so I cannot comment on Bridgerton. But, hearing about Regency dress and makeup was interesting. I absolutely love a Tea Party. My four daughters prepared a lovely tea for my birthday and I felt so special. Thanks for sharing your hair products from function. Your hair looks so soft.
I loved everything about Bridgerton. Maybe I’m in the minority in this particular comment section but am part of several women and mom groups and the majority of us loved it. 🙂
This is very interesting. I watched the Bridgerton series. I found myself fast forwarding through the “intimate” scenes, which were many, and overdone. I think Netflix thinks “ because we can” and throws them in to excess. That being said, the scenery and costuming was beautiful, and the story line was good. No need to make it racy in my mind. I have rarely done anything because I saw it in popular culture. I’m actually the opposite. Whenever something becomes popular, I immediately (and stubbornly) don’t want to buy, see or do it! I had heard of Bridgerton but didn’t watch it until my sister-in-law suggested it since she knows I love Jane Austen and that time period. But it has a modern day flair which is interesting, but not historically accurate, if that’s what you’re expecting.
I had high hopes for Bridgerton as there is little to watch on TV during this long cold winter and I love historical fiction - however, I thought Bridgerton was awful - really awful. I stopped in the middle of the third episode and gave up on it. I only got through the first two episodes because of the costumes and locations.
Yes I was fast forwarding as well. When you loose half the show by having to fast forward the racy stuff yet still get the story line it's clearly not needed.
I watched one and a half episodes of Bridgerton and thought it was terrible. Weak plot, poor acting and really about sex. Not my idea of edifying entertainment.
As far as the tea sets are concerned, I have used ‘fancy’ teacups and saucers since I was a little girl, and the tradition continues with my children. I’m glad more people are taking time to enjoy and value elegance- which doesn’t have to be expensive as a cup of tea testifies. 😊
I have always loved Regency style fashion. Thankfully, back in the 70's, when I was in highschool and college, it was in style. My favorite dress was blue velvet, with cap sleeves and an empire waist ( my mom made it) . I had a green one, and a white eyelet one too. Unfortunately, Bridgerton, was very explicit, and I fast forwarded through love scenes, and watched to see the dress and settings. I much prefer Jane Austin. Soft, natural makeup and tea parties are always a win. I have used my teacups to bring beauty to the afternoon on these cold winter days. Thanks for the beauty you bring too, Jennifer. Enjoying your videos.
The only thing I can think about are all the great tea sets that will be at the consignment shops when the trend is over with 😍 On a serious note I am grateful for this trend hopefully it become the norm to dress more presentable instead of yoga pants and pajamas.
I'm a big fan of tea parties, even for one! One earth-friendly way to enjoy this trend is to pick up some pretty china and teaware at your local charity shop or Goodwill. Minimalists are discarded gloriously fancy china tea sets by the dozens, so rather than spend major money on a new teapot, rescue something lovely from a landfill, ask your mom or granny for theirs, or make friends with an elderly neighbor and help her enjoy her wedding china. I have several marvelous teapots I've gleaned through the years from the Goodwill and when I serve tea in them, in mismatched but pretty china cups, my guests are always delighted and feel very elegant and special. What's your favorite tea?
Yes, I love this, my Grandmother always dressed for her day, with a very Pretty house dress! Also low heeled shoes! Always ladylike! We always had afternoon tea, no matter what her day was like!
I thought Bridgerton was highly over-rated. Not for me. It's as though the producers were allowed to throw anything in so threw everything, resulting in a tasteless cocophony . Language was too modern, plot not much more than sex and some costumes so bright one needed sunglasses.And why the music from Maroon 5, Arianna Grande etc? To quote Mr Knightly(Emma) "It was badly done ,indeed! " There are far better British Regency dramas.
YES! I agree about all of this... the music, the modern language, the sex. I heard it described as "porn" and I do agree. Not family friendly at all. I feel like once you have seen Downton Abbey where SO much detail and care and research was done to make things as historically accurate as possible I cant really watch much else.
It was made by Shonda Rhimes. Have you seen any of her shows? The provocative nature, language etc are always in her shows. She made Scandal... her shows are adult themed
Bridgerton is based on a book series by Julia Quinn. The books are much more descriptive than the show. In other words, the books came first. The show is toned down. It’s not meant to be Jane Austen. Maybe the costumes fooled some, but they’re like harlequin romances set in the 1800s. That’s about it.
Jennifer, I have an idea for a video you could do! Talking about old shows like The Andy Griffith Show, Dick Van Dyke, the Lucy Show, etc. and talk about the makeup and outfit choices from them, like you did here with Bridgerton! I would love to see a video like that and hear your perspective!! :)
This probably also will just be a unique little flash in the pan as far as fashion goes. I’m really glad that basically anything that you feel wonderful in goes. There’s not just one style anymore, thank goodness!
Beautiful video, Jennifer! My grandmother gave me her Royal Doulton "Harlow" dishes and tea set when she downsized to an apartment. I use one of the beautiful cups every morning for my coffee 😊. I love tea, too, and am tickled by the thought of "quaran-tea parties."
Hi Jennifer! Your joy in this video is both delightful and contagious!! Hahaha!!! Like you, I am ahead of the Regencycore times and love it!! :) Have a lovely day and thank you for all you do!! :)
Hi Jennifer, I have not seen this series, but afternoon tea has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. When I would come home from school my mother would pour a cuppa tea and we would enjoy cookies with it. I would tell her all about my day. Very fond memories of my mom. My husband and I drink lots of tea and our favorite is Yorkshire Gold. Thank you for the fun video. Now I'm going to go brew a nice pot of tea. Xo, Karen
It's like my china cabinet finally become fashionable. I already own a number of different kinds of teapots, and beautiful teacups inherited from a great-uncle. I don't drink coffee, so tea is my go-to. Hubby sells very high quality tea and it is a true delight. For the sake of practicality, I often go for a single serve infuser rather than a pot. Especially for breakfast before I head off to work.
I was so hopeful that Bridgerton would be a favorite for this long winter season because I love historical fiction. I suffered through two episodes and in episode 3 I turned off the TV in disgust. In my opinion it's awful.
I wonder if the actresses must be torn between wanting to work and having to do these roles. I thought this problem was improving but I think with the success of Game of Thrones in the last decade, it was decided smut was in demand 🤨
While Bridgerton is not my cup of tea, everything else you talked about really is. I love the Regencycore. Regency fashion with high waists was in fashion for nearly 25 years and for good reason... draped correctly, it is almost universally flattering, especially with the correct underwear. (I love studying historical fashion) And tea...who could not love tea and pretty tea sets?
I feel like I would totally move into a full time corset. I think bras are mostly uncomfortable and after nursing babies + weight loss/weight gain the lift from a corset would be nice. Plus corsets are great for posture and filling out the feminine frame. Butttt corsets are not easy to find and they need to fit well. (Bernadette Banner on RUclips does great vids on period dress and the corset. Corsets are maligned today but they were a part of female dress for centuries.)
Do it!! I invested in a corset and I love it! I don't tight lace it, but it is so much more comfortable than a bra.....mine is made of cotton and it breathes amazingly - no sweat down there!!!
@Elizabeth Zacharias I got mine from Redthreaded and love it!! I have done both the ready made and made my own with their kits. Both are wonderful, they are a bit pricey, but they also last a long time. My first corset I ordered through www.lavendersgreen.com/ and theirs has lasted me 10 years and counting, still comfortable! So long as you utilize an undershirt they don't need cleaned terribly often, and are easy to spot clean and hand wash. Highly recommend both companies!
Bridgeton was brilliant and awful at the same time. I love the aesthetics, fashion and the hair styles. I had no idea it was so racy. I watched it through to the end as I wanted to know what happened however, the duke taking of Daphne’s glove was all that was needed. We didn’t need all the graphic sex scenes. Why do they feel the need to turn every period drama into porn?
I’m chuckling at “the Duke of Hastings and his spoon” 😂 The show has some lovely costumes. The headpieces worn by Daphne are particularly swoon worthy. I don’t care much for keeping up with most trends but I do find the makeup to be something I would implement as it’s similar to what I currently do.
I love both Cottagecore and Regencycore! Cottagecore is more practical for my daily life but I have been swooning over Regencycore since middle school. I even wore a gold and ivory empire waist gown to senior prom in 2003. 😁 I have watched Bridgerton and (another minority vote here) loved it. I was definitely shocked at first and haven't read the books so I'm unsure if they are also *spicy*. I typically don't like modern elements in era movies/shows...I think knowing it was based on a recent book series, as opposed to a classic, helped in overlooking those issues and I was able to enjoy it.
Okay clearly a lot of people here have no idea that Bridgerton is a book by Julia Quinn that although it is set in the Regency era, the book itself is a racy, romance novel. The book in itself is very detailed in it's well, words. I am so sorry that you thought this would be another Jane Austen.
@@MtHa-yu2sf there is really no point of comparison. I wonder why people are forcing it. Julia Quinn wrote the book with the knowledge and background of a 21st century writer as opposed to Jane Austen who wrote her books in the 19th century. There is like over 200 years of worldly differences in that span of time. People's nuances, culture, tradition, has evolved and changed. People thought Jane Austen's books were ahead of her time, since women writers were unheard of during that time.
Hahaha! Jennifer, I got my hubby to order me function of beauty for Christmas and I told them I saw it here first. I then ordered some for my daughter for Christmas, and yes...love love love Bridgerton. Loving the femininity of the clothing. Oh yes...loving the fancy teaser. I’ll have to get mine out.
Regency is great but bridgerton is trashy in my opinion, like 50 shades of grey level. I'd rather be inspired by pride and prejudice or something better quality.
Agree that it was more like a soap opera as noted by a reviewer who said the author was from the U. S. where I’m from and I completely understand why it was described this way. Sanditon was a much better production.
I love cottagecore. I love the femininity. The florals. For me it's a more modern take on how farmers wives would have worn(at least in the more modest versions). It makes me imagine Tasha Tudor...think of my great great grandmother who lived on a homestead.
I just ordered the shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask. I had never heard of this company before, so the timing was perfect! I LOVE your necklace in this video!
I don’t subscribe to Netflix, so I have never watched Bridgerton. Perhaps I will finally have a trial membership to check out the series. I especially love the tea sets you featured. In fact, I am drinking my mandarin orange peel tea as I am watching this video. 😊💐
I like the regencycore asthetic, especially for objects such as the tea set but when it comes to clothing, though I find empire waist pretty, it isn't my personal favourite. When I think of regencycore, I think of city fashion, whereas cottagecore evokes countryside fashion to me. Thank you for this video !
'Love this. I've been hosting tea parties ever since my mother gifted me with a china tea set for children (yes I still have it) and I hovered over my less careful friends in order to preserve it (LOL). I 'm looking forward to using my lovely, full-sized tea things , and wonderful recipes again hopefully in not too long. I'm trying to remember what I served for "tea" as a child...Probably hot chocolate. I'm cool with the Regency looks but of at an age where I'd best stick with my classics-with-a-twist wardrobe.
I enjoyed the show. Sure it was "racy" and not some people's favorite thing. It is definitely a problematic show to be sure. It was entertaining and I loved the clothing(even with inaccuracies). I chose to view it as historical fantasy and take it at face value. I do love the uptick in teapot purchases. We all can use things that make us feel fancy and now I don't feel so at odds with my peers for having a tea set! Wonderful video!
I have not seen Bridgerton either - my love for Regency harkens back to Emma Thompson's version of Sense & Sensibility. I actually really like both trends. I like the feminity it showcases. Cottage core seems maybe easier to pull off - romantic, simple, a little more country. Also, on the subject of your hair, which does look really fabulous by the way, what I want to know is how your stylist is cutting your hair?? What kind of layers is she/he giving you? That to me makes one of the biggest differences in the health of our hair - the cut! This was a fun video. 😊👍🏻
I don't have Netflix either so I won't be watching the show, which is probably a good thing. But, I will happily enjoy the elegant dress and tea sets trend since it's right up my alley anyway!
I love the empire waist style, I have a plain white empire top I’ve worn so much that Boden used to carry. The corset top you showed is very pretty and actually looks like it might be comfortable. Love the tea cups you showed. The gold handled Far Fetch one and the pale pink lettuce cup! Really loving your videos on china, the cozy subject of tea, and the recent cleaning videos, so calming, the one with the wind blowing the chimes, and your lovely rooms and decor. What do you think of all that’s happening in the Royal family? It’s a little crazy isn’t it.
Bridgerton is amazing (and racy). Really makes you think about the role of society women in that time. Often very sad. Although I love the end message of choosing love in your marriage. Beautiful fashion! Since I do not go to social balls, I am looking forward to adding touches of the look into my wardrobe. Thank you Jennifer for all your wonderful thoughts and tips. Love your channel!💕❤️💕
I love empire waist dresses. So flattering. It's my sons formal this year (Australian prom equivalent I guess) and I'm hoping it goes ahead as I'm quite excited to see if many of the girls are influenced by this Regency core trend with their gowns and accessories. It would be lovely to see some of the young men dress in Regency core too. I watched Bridgerton and loved the clothes and extravagant sets, but it was very racy and there was lots of fast forwarding which was such a shame because I'd have loved to watch it with my daughter.
Thanks so much for this great video. I haven’t seen Bridgerton either. This made me feel caught up! I doubt I will be sporting much regency attire in lockdown, but it is fun to look at. Tea however has become more essential than ever during these times, as you point out. I think Trinny London makeup would be a good choice and I sometimes suspect she is the inspiration for some of these newer minimalist makeup brands.
'Everything old is new again' but being over 50, I don't think 'Regencycore' is for me ! I'll happily leave this to the 20-somethings and those who want to experience things such as corsets. The 2nd article made me laugh - isn't any good makeup look reliant on a good skincare routine 😆 Great video. Stay safe and best wishes from Australia xx
Jennifer, what color are you wearing on your lips? Sorry if you've answered before. . To my eye it looks different today. And I love the color! A video link with an answer is great too!
I was into Regency before Regency was cool LOL... Also, Colin Firth is the ONLY Mr Darcy that exists for me ;) I actually prefer cottagecore style, and actual corsets are awesome!
I never want to be negative, so I’ll say I love the fashion!! The show however, is not for me personally lol. I clicked on it thinking it would have a Jane Austen feel, but unfortunately it was so distasteful that it was like biting into a decadent chocolate filled with toothpaste.😝
Having an opinion that differs from the presenter’s is not negative . I think if the tone in which that difference is expressed in aggressive , then that is not okay. I agree the fashions are lovely. However, the context in which we are seeing them - through the Netflix series - is pornographic and counter culture to the ethics of this channel . I think that is why we are seeing such a strong reaction to this video.
So styles recycle all the time, we know this. The red dress looks just like my prom dress from 1999, and I had a corset top in my early 20's I purchased from some store at the mall. Now its all back and trendy again lol
Isn’t is sad how “racy” has to be put in a series that we look to for grace and elegance? For me, that detracts from the movie. I don’t have Netflix, but I think that if I was watching it and it became “racy”, I’d turn it off. We stopped Netflix after THE HOUSE OF CARDS was more about sex than politics.
Hi, I read online that the suffix -core, is extracted from the phrase hard core, which emerged in the 1930s meaning “an irreducible nucleus or residuum; also a stubborn or unyielding minority.” It was used in the late 70s music scene to denote different genres. It was then adopted by the movie industry and branched out from there. Now it's ubiquitous, almost to the point of losing its meaning. So, for example, "cottagecore" would refer to the elements at the center/heart of the cottage look.
Core values, core pieces, etc... It seems to be a recent trend to use "core" everywhere possible. I personally think it sounds a bit snobbish or intellectual-wannabe-like!
I enjoyed seeing the beautiful modest feminine dresses in this vlog. YT showed me an link to a story of Julienne Hough making headlines in a backless blazer/suit dress. I didn't think much of it until I got on the treadmill at the gym and a news anchor on ESPN was wearing the modern twist on a business suit. It looked like she forgot her pants/skirt! I think you'll have to tackle this one soon. It looks like the style is trending?
Hi Jennifer, this comment is out of topic. I would just like to ask about your exercise routine. What worked for you over the years.. I must say you are looking fabulous and healthy... just the right kind of undistracting excellence in that area and it is an inspiration! Thank you and warmest regards, Charisse Anne
Yes, I like it. Anything that makes woman look more feminine is what I aim for as a woman. It seems like lately it is very difficult to distinguish between male or female clothing. Fashion is almost the look of homeless as well, with all the wear and tear look. (More like the enemy is trying to make out of us a joke for him to laugh at). Oh, and no, I have not seen the series.
Wow! Love this video. I have collected tea cups and tea pots for a lifetime..but my emphasis is only on “made in England” Teacups and pots and dishes. One of my issues with Victoria Magazine is they do not list where their tea sets are made. I love the dress and manners in the regency era and most of my reading is English literature. Being a dedicated Anglophile, I know I romanticize , but I am happy in my romantic world.🙂 Just received alena Pettitt’s book “English Etiquette “ from your interview and am looking forward to reading it. Ok ..just have to say you description of Bridgerton being racy is too kind. I lasted a very short period of time in episode 1 before abandoning it. Sorry...Can’t get past explicit sexual behaviors.
I am a fan of Regency era period dramas, especially Jane Austen, but I have to laugh at the idea of what social media is calling Regencycore makeup inspired by Bridgerton, since the hair, makeup and costumes of Bridgerton were not Regency authentic in any way. They were stylized and not actually meant to be taken as genuine. Bridgertoncore would be a more accurate term!
Hi Jennifer, thanks for sharing! :) I was just wondering if the A’del coupon code you have posted still works? I wanted to order a blush and a sample pack to try and the code doesn’t seem to work. Thanks!
In the early 19th century women wore stays, not corsets. These were a normal undergarment worn over a chemise (not against the skin like in the show) that provided bust support. Also, tightlacing was not a thing then. If you are interested in the history of the corset, Abby Cox has a great video on it.
I'm watching Downton Abbey again...this time on Peacock. I do like the Regency era fashion. I don't like cottage core fashion as it looks more like Little House On the Prairie and the Regency look seems regal and Royal.
I have watched the first five minutes and turned it OFF! Not a morally inclined show! Too many others without the sex scenes with no warning. Kinda surprised you would even bother, ha!💕
@@TheDailyConnoisseur I don’t believe I would open the table for fashion discussion on a show I had not seen. Not shooting anyone. Just a bit shocked, I suppose.
It annoys me too! Core seems to be everywhere lately... Core values, core pieces, etc. It's a trend that sounds snobbish and intellectual wannabe like, in my opinion.

Jennifer your hair really does look great and that necklace is so beautiful. 💕🌷

Bridgerton is NOT classy! Don’t watch it. :)
Bridgerton is amazing.
The fashions are lovely. However, I only watched one episode, very sexually explicit. Not my cup of tea.
I'm afraid I've no opinion on Regencycore at the moment as I'm really disheartened to see the author of that Vogue article spelled "tonne" as "ton". Spellcheck is not a substitute for proofreading and my seventh grade journalism teacher would be horrified. Arrgh!
This fall I started setting a daily alarm for “tea time with Jesus” and it’s such a wonderful afternoon ritual of quiet, tea and my Bible!
I absolutely love this idea!!!
Great idea!
What a lovely idea Elisabeth.
That is an amazing idea!!!
@@cooldesert30 thank you!
After Netflix did a number on my beloved Anne of Green Gables, I no longer watch anything new or trending on it. It’s nice to know that for once I’m ahead of the trends with my pearl earrings, tea set and no makeup look 🥰🥰
I completely agree about Anne with an E 😢
I didn’t watch their version of Anne. Nothing could top Kevin Sullivan’s version with Meagan Follows... that was a masterpiece!
Same. We dropped Netflix after they ruined Anne of Green Gables.
Lesley I’ve never watched it, I can’t bring myself to watch another Anne
I’m astonished to see these comments about Anne, I thought it was wonderful!
I was excited when I heard about Bridgerton coming out! I really wish it was a clean series. But after looking at the parent guide I knew I would never be able to watch it. It's so sad that so many shows have unnecessary things in them.
I haven't read the novels, but understand they're not clean, either.
@@lilibetp I didn't even realize there were novels. Thank you for the heads up!
The corset top trend is kind of cute, but it also makes me giggle a little, because corsets and stays (stays were the undergarment worn during the Regency; corsets had not been invented yet) were never ever ever worn against bare skin. Putting the actresses in stays without a chemise underneath is a crime against historical costuming. (And don't get me started on the tightlacing, that wasn't a thing, especially with empire dresses.) I don't really see how the make up look has anything to do with Regency fashion. If you want the look, focus on clear skin, a little blush, and mascara, nothing more. They were all about the clear skin. I love the beautiful tea sets and wish I could drink tea! I'm glad elegance is coming back.
You tell 'em! hahah Loved your comment.
What makes me giggle about corsets is that rejection of them was the first part of the modern day feminist/women’s suffrage movement. We’ve come full circle! 😂
100%!
As a fellow, former Shakespearean costumer, I say "AMEN!"
I love tea, beautiful dress, and elegant classy living.🌿🌸
Natural make-up....yessss! I'm 58 and I've found that for me, less is more, and moisture is queen! I wear very little makeup, but always add a bit of light, cream blush and then mascara. Done! Great trend, in my opinion. Tea sets -- I have had a beautiful, floral, Japanese (second hand) tea pot for many years and I love it. Also....many various teacups and saucers -- some were gifted, some inherited, and some thrifted. You are SO right when you say, "You feel special when someone pours you tea from a beautiful teapot into a pretty cup." I agree!
I have loved the regency era dresses since I first watched the 1995 BBC version of Pride & Prejudice (as a teen). I’m glad more feminine styles are coming back ‘on trend.’
I recently watched that version of P&P. It was so good!
It’s the only version worth watching... 😉 😂
@@WomenLivingTorah Hear, hear!
I have purchased 8 vintage teapots over the past 2 years. I absolutely love using them. I drink tea every day.
I loved Bridgerton! Such a fun show and I absolutely adored all of the gorgeous costumes! I really hope we see a lot of new styles that have a regency flair.
I started to watch Bridgerton. There was a very vulgar inappropriate mature rated scene only 5 minutes into the show! Very distasteful and disappointing that Hollywood thinks you have to have this in order to make good television!! I love period films however I'm not a fan of Bridgerton.
I love both Regencycore and Cottagecore! I'm totally on board with any trend that helps us look more feminine (in a world of pantsuits and androgony).
Your makeup and white blouse are a perfect look for you. Beautiful.
I love that it seems a love for beautiful things is coming back. While I think shows and movies play a big role, I think our channels have also encouraged such searches, reigniting a lost love perhaps. I too have never watched the show and probably won’t but it’s fun to look at the costumes 🌹
I agree about the costumes!
I enjoy my humble Brown Betty teapots from England. They have an interesting history too. I find that they make excellent tea by allowing room for the tea leaves to swirl around. These teapots are available in Etsy shops and are in many second hand shops. I make tea for my husband who has been working from home for the past year and is much too busy to come down to tea. We joke that he is “nailed to his chair “
so I bring his tea to him. He enjoys his large cup of tea at 3:00 with a little bowl of fruit and a cookie. Brown Betty teapots come in various sizes. The small ones are very cute and the large ones are great for a party !
Good morning Jennifer, Chic Society loves 🍰 and all you Daily Connoisseurs out there! Thanks for another video Jennifer! 💕
Good morning, Jordan
If you love learning about Regency England, you should read Georgette Heyer’s Regency romance novels. NOT your typical romance novels. Historically accurate, entertaining, funny and clean.
I love the makeup. Reminds me of my look. I've been doing Korean skin care for about five years. Excellent skin care gives me that beautiful glass skin with a lovely healthy glow with minimal makeup.
I love everything simple, comfortable, but elegant.
Love that!
Tell us more about Korean skin care!
@@Melshed Google the science of korean skin care. Its all about hydration and exfoliating dead skin cell.
On RUclips listen to hyram "korean skin care vs American skin care."
My skin looks 15 years younger. I use very little makeup and my skin has a youthful shine
Its not for everybody but I really like it. I've gotten a great benefit doing that routine.💕
Yes, I’ve been into K Beauty for a few years too! The products are inexpensive but high quality at the same time, the ingredients are great and the products don’t have that ‘chemical’ smell that so many Western cosmetics have. And Asian sunscreens are incredible (in spite of the recent scandals).
@@djlivvy46 Yes, korean skin care products are amazing. I'm sure you do your research and the science behind their skincare is five years ahead of us. I bet your skin looks 15 years younger, with that childlike healthy glow.
I'm all for the Regencycore look - love the more feminine look and anything that encourages tea is great. I suffered through two episodes of Bridgerton and thought the show was awful, really awful - I really don't get why this show is a hit but if it brings back good manners and dress then wonderful.
You do these informative videos so well, Jennifer. Like you, I do not have Netflix, so I cannot comment on Bridgerton. But, hearing about Regency dress and makeup was interesting. I absolutely love a Tea Party. My four daughters prepared a lovely tea for my birthday and I felt so special. Thanks for sharing your hair products from function. Your hair looks so soft.
I loved everything about Bridgerton. Maybe I’m in the minority in this particular comment section but am part of several women and mom groups and the majority of us loved it. 🙂
I adored it too. The costumes were incredible! The scenery was inspiring...
This is very interesting. I watched the Bridgerton series. I found myself fast forwarding through the “intimate” scenes, which were many, and overdone. I think Netflix thinks “ because we can” and throws them in to excess. That being said, the scenery and costuming was beautiful, and the story line was good. No need to make it racy in my mind. I have rarely done anything because I saw it in popular culture. I’m actually the opposite. Whenever something becomes popular, I immediately (and stubbornly) don’t want to buy, see or do it! I had heard of Bridgerton but didn’t watch it until my sister-in-law suggested it since she knows I love Jane Austen and that time period. But it has a modern day flair which is interesting, but not historically accurate, if that’s what you’re expecting.
I had high hopes for Bridgerton as there is little to watch on TV during this long cold winter and I love historical fiction - however, I thought Bridgerton was awful - really awful. I stopped in the middle of the third episode and gave up on it. I only got through the first two episodes because of the costumes and locations.
Yes I was fast forwarding as well. When you loose half the show by having to fast forward the racy stuff yet still get the story line it's clearly not needed.
I watched one and a half episodes of Bridgerton and thought it was terrible. Weak plot, poor acting and really about sex. Not my idea of edifying entertainment.
Love the tea sets, beautiful scenery, dresses but Bridgerton is trash!
you had me at Bridgerton. I am still not having enough of the Duke of Hastings... ❤️❤️❤️
I haven't watched Bridgerton (no Netflix) but I love the no-makeup look and overall feminine trend. How lovely and refreshing!!!
As far as the tea sets are concerned, I have used ‘fancy’ teacups and saucers since I was a little girl, and the tradition continues with my children. I’m glad more people are taking time to enjoy and value elegance- which doesn’t have to be expensive as a cup of tea testifies. 😊
Me too! I'm happy about this trend.
I have always loved Regency style fashion. Thankfully, back in the 70's, when I was in highschool and college, it was in style. My favorite dress was blue velvet, with cap sleeves and an empire waist ( my mom made it) . I had a green one, and a white eyelet one too. Unfortunately, Bridgerton, was very explicit, and I fast forwarded through love scenes, and watched to see the dress and settings. I much prefer Jane Austin.
Soft, natural makeup and tea parties are always a win. I have used my teacups to bring beauty to the afternoon on these cold winter days. Thanks for the beauty you bring too, Jennifer. Enjoying your videos.
I totally agree about the raciness. I found myself thinking....okay, they like each other, I get it! Sheesh! Totally overdone.
Lovely picture and article of you in the ‘Bliss’ Victoria magazine!! So happy for you!! 🥰🇨🇦
Thank you!
Yay for empire...I'm pregnant and was not looking forward to my maternity wardrobe. Now I am!
The only thing I can think about are all the great tea sets that will be at the consignment shops when the trend is over with 😍
On a serious note I am grateful for this trend hopefully it become the norm to dress more presentable instead of yoga pants and pajamas.
I'm a big fan of tea parties, even for one! One earth-friendly way to enjoy this trend is to pick up some pretty china and teaware at your local charity shop or Goodwill. Minimalists are discarded gloriously fancy china tea sets by the dozens, so rather than spend major money on a new teapot, rescue something lovely from a landfill, ask your mom or granny for theirs, or make friends with an elderly neighbor and help her enjoy her wedding china. I have several marvelous teapots I've gleaned through the years from the Goodwill and when I serve tea in them, in mismatched but pretty china cups, my guests are always delighted and feel very elegant and special. What's your favorite tea?
I do the same thing. I buy vintage china, too. I wish I could rescue all of the China from the landfill.
Yes, I love this, my Grandmother always dressed for her day, with a very Pretty house dress! Also low heeled shoes! Always ladylike! We always had afternoon tea, no matter what her day was like!
I thought Bridgerton was highly over-rated. Not for me. It's as though the producers were allowed to throw anything in so threw everything, resulting in a tasteless cocophony . Language was too modern, plot not much more than sex and some costumes so bright one needed sunglasses.And why the music from Maroon 5, Arianna Grande etc? To quote Mr Knightly(Emma) "It was badly done ,indeed! " There are far better British Regency dramas.
The music, oh my goodness I agree - just awful!
YES! I agree about all of this... the music, the modern language, the sex. I heard it described as "porn" and I do agree. Not family friendly at all. I feel like once you have seen Downton Abbey where SO much detail and care and research was done to make things as historically accurate as possible I cant really watch much else.
I thought I was the only one!!! 🤣
Thank you!!
It was made by Shonda Rhimes. Have you seen any of her shows? The provocative nature, language etc are always in her shows. She made Scandal... her shows are adult themed
Bridgerton is based on a book series by Julia Quinn. The books are much more descriptive than the show. In other words, the books came first.
The show is toned down. It’s not meant to be Jane Austen. Maybe the costumes fooled some, but they’re like harlequin romances set in the 1800s. That’s about it.
I’ve not seen that series either, wish they could make such series family friendly.
I totally agree!
I watched a few minutes of episode one. That was more than I wish I’d seen! Not family friendly at all , nor anyone in my mind.
Not supposed to be family friendly!
Jennifer, I have an idea for a video you could do! Talking about old shows like The Andy Griffith Show, Dick Van Dyke, the Lucy Show, etc. and talk about the makeup and outfit choices from them, like you did here with Bridgerton! I would love to see a video like that and hear your perspective!! :)
Yes!! I love Andy Griffith and Lucy!!
This probably also will just be a unique little flash in the pan as far as fashion goes. I’m really glad that basically anything that you feel wonderful in goes. There’s not just one style anymore, thank goodness!
Beautiful video, Jennifer! My grandmother gave me her Royal Doulton "Harlow" dishes and tea set when she downsized to an apartment. I use one of the beautiful cups every morning for my coffee 😊. I love tea, too, and am tickled by the thought of "quaran-tea parties."
Hi Jennifer! Your joy in this video is both delightful and contagious!! Hahaha!!! Like you, I am ahead of the Regencycore times and love it!! :) Have a lovely day and thank you for all you do!! :)
Hi Jennifer, I have not seen this series, but afternoon tea has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. When I would come home from school my mother would pour a cuppa tea and we would enjoy cookies with it. I would tell her all about my day. Very fond memories of my mom. My husband and I drink lots of tea and our favorite is Yorkshire Gold. Thank you for the fun video. Now I'm going to go brew a nice pot of tea. Xo, Karen
It's like my china cabinet finally become fashionable. I already own a number of different kinds of teapots, and beautiful teacups inherited from a great-uncle. I don't drink coffee, so tea is my go-to. Hubby sells very high quality tea and it is a true delight. For the sake of practicality, I often go for a single serve infuser rather than a pot. Especially for breakfast before I head off to work.
One favorite tea company I like: Harney & Sons for both tea bags and loose teas.
I have loved regencycore since 1996 when Colin Firth brought Mr Darcy to our screens in Pride and Prejudice 🤭
Yes. I am sooo sad they made Bridgerton a soft porn movie. They are cutting out a large audience when they choose to add that element.
I was so hopeful that Bridgerton would be a favorite for this long winter season because I love historical fiction. I suffered through two episodes and in episode 3 I turned off the TV in disgust. In my opinion it's awful.
I believe it is the most watched show on netflix ever, so I don’t think they are concerned with missing viewers :)
I wonder if the actresses must be torn between wanting to work and having to do these roles. I thought this problem was improving but I think with the success of Game of Thrones in the last decade, it was decided smut was in demand 🤨
I mean, the Bridgerton books are essentially “bodice ripper” romance novels so it’s not a surprise they made the show steamy.
While Bridgerton is not my cup of tea, everything else you talked about really is. I love the Regencycore. Regency fashion with high waists was in fashion for nearly 25 years and for good reason... draped correctly, it is almost universally flattering, especially with the correct underwear. (I love studying historical fashion) And tea...who could not love tea and pretty tea sets?
Great way of saying it - Bridgerton wasn't my cup of tea either!!
I feel like I would totally move into a full time corset. I think bras are mostly uncomfortable and after nursing babies + weight loss/weight gain the lift from a corset would be nice. Plus corsets are great for posture and filling out the feminine frame. Butttt corsets are not easy to find and they need to fit well. (Bernadette Banner on RUclips does great vids on period dress and the corset. Corsets are maligned today but they were a part of female dress for centuries.)
Do it!! I invested in a corset and I love it! I don't tight lace it, but it is so much more comfortable than a bra.....mine is made of cotton and it breathes amazingly - no sweat down there!!!
I appreciate this comment so much, thank you!
@Elizabeth Zacharias I got mine from Redthreaded and love it!! I have done both the ready made and made my own with their kits. Both are wonderful, they are a bit pricey, but they also last a long time. My first corset I ordered through www.lavendersgreen.com/ and theirs has lasted me 10 years and counting, still comfortable! So long as you utilize an undershirt they don't need cleaned terribly often, and are easy to spot clean and hand wash. Highly recommend both companies!
Bridgeton was brilliant and awful at the same time. I love the aesthetics, fashion and the hair styles. I had no idea it was so racy. I watched it through to the end as I wanted to know what happened however, the duke taking of Daphne’s glove was all that was needed. We didn’t need all the graphic sex scenes. Why do they feel the need to turn every period drama into porn?
I’m chuckling at “the Duke of Hastings and his spoon” 😂
The show has some lovely costumes. The headpieces worn by Daphne are particularly swoon worthy. I don’t care much for keeping up with most trends but I do find the makeup to be something I would implement as it’s similar to what I currently do.
Oh, your makeup is so lovely!
I love both Cottagecore and Regencycore! Cottagecore is more practical for my daily life but I have been swooning over Regencycore since middle school. I even wore a gold and ivory empire waist gown to senior prom in 2003. 😁
I have watched Bridgerton and (another minority vote here) loved it. I was definitely shocked at first and haven't read the books so I'm unsure if they are also *spicy*. I typically don't like modern elements in era movies/shows...I think knowing it was based on a recent book series, as opposed to a classic, helped in overlooking those issues and I was able to enjoy it.
Okay clearly a lot of people here have no idea that Bridgerton is a book by Julia Quinn that although it is set in the Regency era, the book itself is a racy, romance novel. The book in itself is very detailed in it's well, words. I am so sorry that you thought this would be another Jane Austen.
I was comparing the genres , so to speak . Yes , i knew the series was based on a book by Ms Quinn. Sorry , if my point of comparison was not clear.
@@MtHa-yu2sf there is really no point of comparison. I wonder why people are forcing it. Julia Quinn wrote the book with the knowledge and background of a 21st century writer as opposed to Jane Austen who wrote her books in the 19th century. There is like over 200 years of worldly differences in that span of time. People's nuances, culture, tradition, has evolved and changed. People thought Jane Austen's books were ahead of her time, since women writers were unheard of during that time.
Hahaha! Jennifer, I got my hubby to order me function of beauty for Christmas and I told them I saw it here first. I then ordered some for my daughter for Christmas, and yes...love love love Bridgerton. Loving the femininity of the clothing. Oh yes...loving the fancy teaser. I’ll have to get mine out.
Haha! Love you, Denise!
Regency is great but bridgerton is trashy in my opinion, like 50 shades of grey level. I'd rather be inspired by pride and prejudice or something better quality.
I so agree!
I’ve heard the same
Agree 100% - it is total trash.
Agree that it was more like a soap opera as noted by a reviewer who said the author was from the U. S. where I’m from and I completely understand why it was described this way. Sanditon was a much better production.
I love cottagecore. I love the femininity. The florals. For me it's a more modern take on how farmers wives would have worn(at least in the more modest versions). It makes me imagine Tasha Tudor...think of my great great grandmother who lived on a homestead.
I just ordered the shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask. I had never heard of this company before, so the timing was perfect! I LOVE your necklace in this video!
Thank you, Ashley! The hair mask is amazing. I used it on my daughter last night too ❤️
I love the makeup,it’s the perfect blush and lip color for a more natural look. The teacups are beautiful, l love tea!
I don’t subscribe to Netflix, so I have never watched Bridgerton. Perhaps I will finally have a trial membership to check out the series. I especially love the tea sets you featured. In fact, I am drinking my mandarin orange peel tea as I am watching this video. 😊💐
I haven't seen Bridgerton. I prefer cottage ore to regency core. Both can be lovely, but I like the outdoorsy aspect of cottage core.
I like the regencycore asthetic, especially for objects such as the tea set but when it comes to clothing, though I find empire waist pretty, it isn't my personal favourite. When I think of regencycore, I think of city fashion, whereas cottagecore evokes countryside fashion to me. Thank you for this video !
'Love this. I've been hosting tea parties ever since my mother gifted me with a china tea set for children (yes I still have it) and I hovered over my less careful friends in order to preserve it (LOL). I 'm looking forward to using my lovely, full-sized tea things , and wonderful recipes again hopefully in not too long. I'm trying to remember what I served for "tea" as a child...Probably hot chocolate. I'm cool with the Regency looks but of at an age where I'd best stick with my classics-with-a-twist wardrobe.
If you thought the super bowl halftime show was bad and in poor taste, you're really not gonna like Bridgerton! 🤫🤭
I enjoyed the show. Sure it was "racy" and not some people's favorite thing. It is definitely a problematic show to be sure. It was entertaining and I loved the clothing(even with inaccuracies). I chose to view it as historical fantasy and take it at face value. I do love the uptick in teapot purchases. We all can use things that make us feel fancy and now I don't feel so at odds with my peers for having a tea set! Wonderful video!
Hello Jennifer! What a lovely video! Thank you for sharing. I have a small (minimalist) collection of tea cups & saucers. 🌺
I love a good tea cup and saucer!
I have not seen Bridgerton either - my love for Regency harkens back to Emma Thompson's version of Sense & Sensibility. I actually really like both trends. I like the feminity it showcases. Cottage core seems maybe easier to pull off - romantic, simple, a little more country. Also, on the subject of your hair, which does look really fabulous by the way, what I want to know is how your stylist is cutting your hair?? What kind of layers is she/he giving you? That to me makes one of the biggest differences in the health of our hair - the cut! This was a fun video. 😊👍🏻
I love it all.
I've been using function of beauty shampoo and conditioner since November and love it.
Miss Jennifer you look GORGEOUS darling and I ADORE that pretty background!
Thank you, dahling!
I don't have Netflix either so I won't be watching the show, which is probably a good thing. But, I will happily enjoy the elegant dress and tea sets trend since it's right up my alley anyway!
Same! 👌😊
I love the empire waist style, I have a plain white empire top I’ve worn so much that Boden used to carry. The corset top you showed is very pretty and actually looks like it might be comfortable. Love the tea cups you showed. The gold handled Far Fetch one and the pale pink lettuce cup! Really loving your videos on china, the cozy subject of tea, and the recent cleaning videos, so calming, the one with the wind blowing the chimes, and your lovely rooms and decor. What do you think of all that’s happening in the Royal family? It’s a little crazy isn’t it.
Bridgerton is amazing (and racy). Really makes you think about the role of society women in that time. Often very sad. Although I love the end message of choosing love in your marriage.
Beautiful fashion! Since I do not go to social balls, I am looking forward to adding touches of the look into my wardrobe.
Thank you Jennifer for all your wonderful thoughts and tips. Love your channel!💕❤️💕
Can we just bring back the fancy Regency or Renaissance dresses? The whole garb, let's go 😂
I love empire waist dresses. So flattering. It's my sons formal this year (Australian prom equivalent I guess) and I'm hoping it goes ahead as I'm quite excited to see if many of the girls are influenced by this Regency core trend with their gowns and accessories. It would be lovely to see some of the young men dress in Regency core too. I watched Bridgerton and loved the clothes and extravagant sets, but it was very racy and there was lots of fast forwarding which was such a shame because I'd have loved to watch it with my daughter.
I don’t have Netflix either! But I love fashion so I appreciate your video! 😊💗
Loved the tea sets but rather expensive
Thanks so much for this great video. I haven’t seen Bridgerton either. This made me feel caught up! I doubt I will be sporting much regency attire in lockdown, but it is fun to look at. Tea however has become more essential than ever during these times, as you point out. I think Trinny London makeup would be a good choice and I sometimes suspect she is the inspiration for some of these newer minimalist makeup brands.
Trinny has been my idol since What Not To Wear. I’m so glad she has retained her iconic status!
'Everything old is new again' but being over 50, I don't think 'Regencycore' is for me ! I'll happily leave this to the 20-somethings and those who want to experience things such as corsets. The 2nd article made me laugh - isn't any good makeup look reliant on a good skincare routine 😆 Great video. Stay safe and best wishes from Australia xx
Cottagecore is the best ❣️
Jennifer, what color are you wearing on your lips?
Sorry if you've answered before. . To my eye it looks different today. And I love the color! A video link with an answer is great too!
I was into Regency before Regency was cool LOL... Also, Colin Firth is the ONLY Mr Darcy that exists for me ;)
I actually prefer cottagecore style, and actual corsets are awesome!
I never want to be negative, so I’ll say I love the fashion!! The show however, is not for me personally lol. I clicked on it thinking it would have a Jane Austen feel, but unfortunately it was so distasteful that it was like biting into a decadent chocolate filled with toothpaste.😝
This is the best review! Haha
Having an opinion that differs from the presenter’s is not negative . I think if the tone in which that difference is expressed in aggressive , then that is not okay. I agree the fashions are lovely. However, the context in which we are seeing them - through the Netflix series - is pornographic and counter culture to the ethics of this channel . I think that is why we are seeing such a strong reaction to this video.
I love my Function of Beauty haircare too!!!!
They are awesome! I've been using them for nearly a year now.
So styles recycle all the time, we know this. The red dress looks just like my prom dress from 1999, and I had a corset top in my early 20's I purchased from some store at the mall. Now its all back and trendy again lol
Not really my style, but I do think the regency and cottagecore pieces are pretty!
Isn’t is sad how “racy” has to be put in a series that we look to for grace and elegance? For me, that detracts from the movie.
I don’t have Netflix, but I think that if I was watching it and it became “racy”, I’d turn it off. We stopped Netflix after THE HOUSE OF CARDS was more about sex than politics.
the book from where it is based is definitely a romance novel of the racy kind so...
I have not seen this series yet! It looks interesting 🤔
Good grief, the 'old man" eyebrows on the one model were crazy! I sure hope that is not coming into style...
I thought the same!!!
Not to mention they looked anything BUT natural. Yeesh. Groucho Marx, your sister's calling you!
Yeah...also pretty sick of the vague insta-face to go with those ridiculous eyebrows.
😂
Stupid question: why the “core” in these names (cottagecore, regencycore?) can anyone enlighten me? Thanks 🙈
Hi, I read online that the suffix -core, is extracted from the phrase hard core, which emerged in the 1930s meaning “an irreducible nucleus or residuum; also a stubborn or unyielding minority.” It was used in the late 70s music scene to denote different genres. It was then adopted by the movie industry and branched out from there. Now it's ubiquitous, almost to the point of losing its meaning. So, for example, "cottagecore" would refer to the elements at the center/heart of the cottage look.
@@carmelasantana3091 I was curious about that, too, and your explanation was helpful. Thanks!
@@carmelasantana3091 thank you! It reminded me of “hardcore” but I could t quite tell how we ended up there! 😂 🤷🏼♀️
Core values, core pieces, etc... It seems to be a recent trend to use "core" everywhere possible. I personally think it sounds a bit snobbish or intellectual-wannabe-like!
I enjoyed seeing the beautiful modest feminine dresses in this vlog. YT showed me an link to a story of Julienne Hough making headlines in a backless blazer/suit dress. I didn't think much of it until I got on the treadmill at the gym and a news anchor on ESPN was wearing the modern twist on a business suit. It looked like she forgot her pants/skirt! I think you'll have to tackle this one soon. It looks like the style is trending?
Hi Jennifer, this comment is out of topic. I would just like to ask about your exercise routine. What worked for you over the years.. I must say you are looking fabulous and healthy... just the right kind of undistracting excellence in that area and it is an inspiration! Thank you and warmest regards, Charisse Anne
Thank you! I still do walking and rebounding. The main thing has been intermittent fasting, which I have done videos on.
Yes, I like it. Anything that makes woman look more feminine is what I aim for as a woman.
It seems like lately it is very difficult to distinguish between male or female clothing. Fashion is almost the look of homeless as well, with all the wear and tear look. (More like the enemy is trying to make out of us a joke for him to laugh at).
Oh, and no, I have not seen the series.
Wow! Love this video. I have collected tea cups and tea pots for a lifetime..but my emphasis is only on “made in England”
Teacups and pots and dishes. One of my issues with Victoria Magazine is they do not list where their tea sets are made. I love the dress and manners in the regency era and most of my reading is English literature. Being a dedicated Anglophile, I know I romanticize , but I am happy in my romantic world.🙂
Just received alena Pettitt’s book “English Etiquette “ from your interview and am looking forward to reading it.
Ok ..just have to say you description of Bridgerton being racy is too kind. I lasted a very short period of time in episode 1 before abandoning it. Sorry...Can’t get past explicit sexual behaviors.
I am a fan of Regency era period dramas, especially Jane Austen, but I have to laugh at the idea of what social media is calling Regencycore makeup inspired by Bridgerton, since the hair, makeup and costumes of Bridgerton were not Regency authentic in any way. They were stylized and not actually meant to be taken as genuine. Bridgertoncore would be a more accurate term!
I’m from the south Chas. SC, we never quit wearing blush. In Orange County I’ve noticed that CA women don’t wear a lot of blush.
That's true! Less blush and lip color here...
Hi Jennifer, thanks for sharing! :) I was just wondering if the A’del coupon code you have posted still works? I wanted to order a blush and a sample pack to try and the code doesn’t seem to work. Thanks!
Hello! Arlene assured me the code worked so I would reach out to them via their website. She will be prompt about getting back to you. Thank you!
Thank you! :) I will contact them and try again. Appreciate all your content and look forward to your videos.
Sorry , this Netflix series is super bowl entertainment meets Jane Austen. I could not even watch this video . Sorry but not a fan
Maggie See my comment about how we ditched Netflix for Pureflix! Just couldn’t handle Netflix any more.
@@mellibee100 thank you. I will investigate that option . Appreciate , the suggestion.
I loved this video.
Why corset with a loose dress? Im not really sure if it was a thing back then but I might be wrong
True! Doesn't make sense.
In the early 19th century women wore stays, not corsets. These were a normal undergarment worn over a chemise (not against the skin like in the show) that provided bust support. Also, tightlacing was not a thing then. If you are interested in the history of the corset, Abby Cox has a great video on it.
I did enjoy the series but could have done without the overly sexualized bits! Both trends are nice but a proper tea never goes out of style 💞
I'm watching Downton Abbey again...this time on Peacock. I do like the Regency era fashion. I don't like cottage core fashion as it looks more like Little House On the Prairie and the Regency look seems regal and Royal.
I have watched the first five minutes and turned it OFF! Not a morally inclined show! Too many others without the sex scenes with no warning. Kinda surprised you would even bother, ha!💕
I haven't seen it. We're talking about the fashion trends that have sprung from it. Don't shoot the messenger! haha
@@TheDailyConnoisseur I don’t believe I would open the table for fashion discussion on a show I had not seen. Not shooting anyone. Just a bit shocked, I suppose.
Can someone please explain why the fashion trends have 'core' at the end of the name? It annoys me way more than it should...😉
It annoys me too! Core seems to be everywhere lately... Core values, core pieces, etc. It's a trend that sounds snobbish and intellectual wannabe like, in my opinion.
