I went shopping in Harrods on the first day in the UK that retail shops could open after COVID Lockdown (Monday 15th June 2020). I was taken aback at what shopping is now like and I left after just 1.5 hours. There is currently a slash 40% sale in Harrods (items that weren’t sold during the 3 months of lockdown). This includes Chanel & DIOR Sales!!! The atmosphere was rather stressful, what with the new rules about how many people can enter the store (plus, fitting rooms are closed - so you can’t try things on)
Found this so interesting, I also went to harrods and didn't enjoy it as usual! I keep worrying about keeping my distance to people and could not focus on the shopping. The food Hall got crazy so I left, people did not keep at 2 meters in there and would come up to you to look at the same food and stand sooo close to you! Hope you feel better! x
Sophie Shohet | Fashion Beauty Lifestyle. I know what you mean I went to Neiman Marcus in Northbrook , Chicago yesterday and when I got inside they asked if I have an appointment for a moment there I thought I was in the wrong place . It’s so weird .I needed to make an appointment and they assigned a associate to walk around the store with you ,thank you , but no thank you. So the experience was that I had to leave . Nice.
Elizabeth & Sofia - it’s great to hear your experiences and I’m glad it’s not just me feeling this way. The ‘new normal’ is horrible and quite stress inducing. I won’t be rushing back any time soon!xx
Hi Sophie, I do enjoy your posts here in the USA. I am an RN who loves designer handbags. As a trained RN I must tell you a few things and we ALL do this. 1. Don’t touch the escalator rail! Yuk!! 2. When you open a door pull your sleeves down over your hands if you have to pull it or push it open with your upper arm 3. I want you to watch the video and count how many times you touch your face around your mask area after you touch other things. Even as a nurse who wears a mask a lot it is hard not to touch your face. Just a few tips to keep you safe so we can continue to watch your lovely videos.
I love Sophie and I know what you mean. I’m so nervous watching Sophie touching the escalator rail, pulling her mask and putting it back on her face. 😬
Amelie I’m not from the US. And I’m not having a go at Sophie. I’m just stating the concern I have while watching the video. Everyone around the World is fed up, not just people from Europe. Unfortunately, being fed up doesn’t warrant people of not getting COVID-19. I reckon being vigilant is a civic duty not just to yourself but to all the vulnerable people around. I’m considered to be of high risk as I have chronic bronchitis. I know everyone is going to die one day but I hope I’m not going to anytime soon. Take care and stay safe. P.S. I have two little kids hence I’m extra careful.
Irene Boyer I was very concerned for her as well and definitely not to judge. I am a licensed esthetician so I feel you and I don’t think most people understand cross contamination. I don’t blame them. I think it’s possible that the feeling of anxiety as well as apathy for shopping may be Sophie have a subconscious feeling that it is not safe in public even though she is stating that she’s not worried about covid. Our subconscious mind can definitely play tricks on our consciousness. All good things to you Sophie. xoxo
Shopping malls should install those UV light thingy that sanitizes the escalator handrails as it moves. Thats what malls in my country are doing and they also employed people to keep on disinfecting knobs and door rails every few minutes. Many people in my country have also taken to wearing masks and even latex gloves when they go out. Heck even the cashiers at my local grocery stores were equipped with gloves, masks and eye visors by their employers.
She has more than enough money for bills lol it’s ok for sponsored content but you act like she’s a single mom on RUclips trying to make it big 🙄🤦🏻♀️😂
I don’t even wear one. Everyone else is anyway. What drives me crazy is that they keep asking you to sanitise your hands. We actually need some germs to keep our immune system working. At this point, I’m going to start eating dirt just to keep the immune system functioning.
YESSSS! I was stressed watching her do that. It defeats the point of wearing the mask. One is not suppose to put their hands on the mask 😷 & it just doesn’t do anything to protect yourself or others if you constantly take off the mask.
MK H lol way to interpret stuff. You do you and I’ll do me. No one is at risk of anything from me, especially given the distancing we have in place. I live in central London, the infection rate has dropped drastically and barely anyone is using masks in stores or on the street.
Sophie, please do not keep touching and taking your mask on and off....when you put your fingers inside the mask to pull it off you are contaminating the inside of your mask and your hand....and then you will be touching things, thank you! ☮️❤️🇨🇦
I don't fully understand the purpose of the mask and touching it. Presumably the mask is to keep my germs from escaping. If I've been isolating then I shouldn't really have Covid germs so what difference does it make if I touch it? I don't mean to be ignorant, it would be different if I was trying to maintain a sterile field.
Christine Hunt that gives me anxiety and that is why I have not been shopping. ❤️❤️❤️ you Sophie but please don’t keep pullling off your mask and touching things.
Harper Isolating or not....you could be a coronavirus carrier and be asymptomatic....The disease is spread by respiratory droplets that come out of you, not only when you cough or sneeze.... but also when you breathe, talk, etc The mask helps to keep them in.....you are breathing into the mask so when you touch the inside of the mask with your hand those droplets are now on your hand and will be spread to anything your hand touches next and then when the next person touches that surface they pick it up etc. etc. This virus is very contagious and has community spread....you can get it from people who do not seem sick. You mentioned sterile, the mask is not sterile....and that is not the goal.
@@crustyrash she's touching things outside that may be contaminated with the virus and touching her mask which can expose her to the virus. and then she touches other things after touching the potentially contaminated mask, potentially contaminating whatever else she touches. it may sound like a reach but its better to be safe than sorry during a pandemic
Sophie you are one of the few RUclipsrs who have repeatedly shown great integrity. If you want to do a sponsored video then please do, get your coin gurlll.
I found your video's a couple of months back when I was looking for a new designer bag. Ever since they've been a little me-time when I'm relaxing on the couch, sitting in the garden or even in the bath tub. I love how you venture out and honestly describe the pro's and cons of certain bags. I have bought bags new but also pre-loved. In this video you also talk about skin care products. My best friend is a dermatologist and pharmacist. He actually was a pharmacist with his own pharmacy before he realized he he was bored and wanted to do something else. He told me the only cream that really works is tretinoin cream. I use a 0,5% gel cream that I mix with regular cream in roughly a 1;2-3 ratio. I use it at night and my skin has never been better, no wrinkles no blackheads and it feels soft and smooth. There is no need to spend hunderds of dollars on this, this cream cost about $30 and it lasts me a couple of months cause you use so little of it, a pea size dot is enough. It also restores damaged skin. (in US it's sold as Retin-A). Keep safe.
Don’t kill me, but please stop touching your mask and keep taking it off and on. It totally defeats the whole purpose of the mask. The mask is not to protect you but to protect other people. Love watching all your videos! :)
My thoughts EXACTLY. Plus she's contaminating it each time she touches it from the front or puts her fingers inside it. It should only be handles from the ear loops and the minimal possible. I love her videos but cringed each time she did that aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
I think it’s absolutely amazing that you recognize your subscribers and read their letters… It speaks a lot about who you are as a person which the world needs more hours… Love… Positive connections… And lots of virtual hugs… We love you
@Shasha whilst not obligatory, if you choose to wear a mask you shouldn’t touch it once on, and shouldn’t pull it down below your chin. Once you touch the front of the mask, which is contaminated, your hands are then contaminated and the risk of cross contamination of anything is increased significantly. So Sophie had to use hand sanitizer when she went in the concessions, and then she’s picking up those dresses in Dior, touching her mask, then touching another garment and another surface, then some shoes etc. She is inadvertently cross contaminating all those items because of what was on her mask, then her hands. This is not me bashing on Sophie, please understand this, it’s just a mistake lots of people make when wearing masks. Constantly touching the mask and then other things is actually more risky than not wearing a mask. There’s plenty of information about how to properly wear masks and PPE and the do’s and don’ts. That aside, I love the Dior shoes she got!
You’re so sweet Sophie 💗 And no one will be upset with any sponsored video, it’s part of being a youtuber/influencer. As long as you’re transparent and only work with brands you truely love everyone will be so happy for your success xx
I went shopping in Old Town Alexandria (Washington DC area) yesterday and felt like Typhoid Mary! It's an area with mostly small local specialty shops such as stationary or antiques. I am a very visual and sociable person and I found it difficult talking to the clerks while standing six feet apart wearing a mask, it made me realize just how much I depend on facial expressions to communicate. Everyone I encountered seemed so timid, there was none of that normal smiling and nodding to people on the street. Then browsing in the shops, some people wore latex gloves, I was just afraid to touch anything. It was not at all a fun, happy, leisure-shopping experience. Sophie, I really appreciate you doing this blog. Particularly during this pandemic, I look forward to Sunday afternoons (I'm in the US).
Hey neighbor! I have to say that the crowds in Old Town are freaking me out. Even the outdoor tables seem too close together. I haven’t been comfortable going into any stores, except to get ice cream 😊. So I understand Sophie feeling panicky in Harrods. I’m going to keep shopping online for the time being.
I've been watching your videos for months now, since way before lockdown -- actually, I binged a ton around the new year. It's because of your videos that I finally pushed myself to buy a handbag from a brand I've wanted for almost two decades! I spent months and months researching which one I wanted, even though it's not as expensive as the sort of things you tend to get... it's still a lot of money for a bag for me. I'm happy to report it's on its way :D My birthday is in two days, so it was my gift to myself. Thanks for all you do!!
I love how much you appreciate your subscibers Sophie! I think they are so nice because you are such a nice and genuine person. I have been watching you for years and I love your video's so much. Thank you for making them and please never quit haha! Love from the Netherlands xxx
I really loved the sneak peaks of London during your drive! It brought back so many lovely memories of my trips there! Watching with my glass of wine🍷😉 Thanks for the fun video Sophe, stay safe! 💗
Hi Sophie. Such a nice video! It is so good to see how things are building up. Thanks for the mail I knew you will like it and it was such a long time in the making that I was looking for goodies to compensate for my constant promise of writing... It is such a pleasure watching your channel and your life unfolding. I almost 5 years that I follow you and I love how is growing. Many thanks for your kindness and for your work. :)
Shopping is no longer recreational therapy, you're saying. That's sad ;( I hope shopping, and especially you, with the fatigued headache, improve!!! Love the new shoes!
Everytime I go out for groceries I feel very panicky also. I think its understandable. Then I see people having drinks or having dinner on Instagram posts like nothing is happening and it stresses me out even more. It's such a confusing time.
You are so kind and genuine when you talk frankly to your audience about how appreciative you are. You're one of those rare people who is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside! : )
Sophie you look so confident, walking around like you own the place. Please make a video on how to be like that. I struggle with confidence and watching this video made me realize how empowering confidence is. Love you 💓
I'm in Ireland and our shopping experience is so different now, do you guys in the UK have any guidelines? We've been "told" only to go to the shops if you know what you need, go get it then leave, no hanging around, no cafes are open, no restaurants, no food courts, all communal seats have been removed, if you try on a shoe the assistant then has to remove it from the display for 24 hours, same with clothes - I'm assuming they will be steamed. But the mask is the biggest thing, they are not compulsory but advised, but I was cringing at the screen when Sophie kept touching it, and it was up down, up down, your fingers were on the inside of it, so you may as well have not been wearing it at all. I know it's a bit learning curve for all of us. As we've been told, we now need to learn to live with this virus, it's not going away.
Amelie Wow why did you feel it was necessary to attack people with negative names who didn’t attack anyone, but simply expressed an option? If you felt compelled to reply, perhaps you could’ve been encouraging somehow by providing a positive comment about your knowledge of why it’s so safe to touch everything. I encourage you to do your research. Be kind please and carry on. PS: notice how many people put a thumbs up on the comment of the person you bullied...hmmmm
@Amelie Its not just disappeared because you can go shopping now, it just means there are beds available for you in hospital now. Cases in Germany have gone up again because lockdown was lifted too early. Other countries like South Korea an Taiwan have managed to get it down and keep it down. They are getting on with their lives as usual, no distancing, shopping like normal, going to work, socializing because they kept to the rules, they all wear masks and sanitize. If we're not careful we will have another lockdown which is what we all dont want I'm sure.
@Amelie you know that hundreds of thousands people have died becoz of this virus? You obviously have no experience of someone close dying to this terrible virus. Or the hellish ordeal of the road to survival. Get a brain and a heart Amelie becoz you are lacking both organs!
I feel the same as you with regards to the stress just going to the store. It’s awkward, stressful and not relaxing in the least for all the reasons you mentioned. We go out, get what we need and come home. Sometimes shopping should be relaxing and enjoyable. I don’t foresee it getting back to normal for a long time. It’s quite depressing.
Please don't stop making videos, you are a bright spot in a dull world now. You are never annoying!!!!!! And I would work with Selfridges too!!! That was ahhmazing!!!!
We love you and your video🖤 you are not only a kind person your smart and I dont know why but hearing about you talk about going to education & going out in your 20's☺️ and your career it fits my idea I had of you being a strong , smart ,kind person and I hope you never stop you channel 🖤
You are so incredibly kind, Sophie. You make the greatest, most fun and interesting videos. Always. Love your vlogs especially. Hearing you talk about life, fashion trends, designer stuff and cars as well is always a joy ❤🤗🤗😊
Yes, it REALLY stresses me out now to go to malls, shopping centers, department stores, etc. and, just like you, all I want to do is turn around & go home. I believe the reason is that there are so many rules & regulations for touching, masks, hand sanitizer, social distancing, etc. that I’m really afraid I’ll forget something & be “called on it” or embarrassed.🤭 I simply can’t get anything accomplished if I can’t try-on/touch & for me, that’s the main reason I physically GO to shopping centers in the first place!
oh god, me too. I went more for a walk in the old town - castle, historical defense wall and buildings from 14th century and I only went inside shops to cool down for 2 hours max, I still recuperate 1 week later from the madness inside.
julijakeit I’m so sad. I was so looking forward to my trip to England for the first time with my daughter. It’s my dream to go to one of those beautiful castles and feel the history. Hopefully we’ll be able to go next year 😟
As someone who was tested POSITIVE for corona virus, when you said you had bad migraines it made me slightly worried. My only symptoms were a migraine, feeling tired, and then lost sense of smell and taste (this was before it was classified as a symptom). Please don’t leave the house if you’re feeling at all unwell. Very irresponsible, especially because you kept taking your mask off, touching your face and then touching items in the store.
Hey Izabella, I’m so sorry to hear you had it - I hope you are recovered now? My migraine happened on the weekend and was caused by me ricking my neck (so painful!) I went to Harrods on the Monday and wasn’t ill. Thankfully the migraine has gone today 😊 I’m not sure if you’ve ever had one but you can hardly walk coherently, let alone shop! Terrible! Anyway, you have a lovely week my friend!☺️xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial Binge watching. My theory is that back in Jan when you complained about feeling like you were catching a cold. You prob had it back then. Be safe. I'm 4 months behind. lol
PS - You have always struck me as more of a Selfridges girl than Harrods. You have totally changed my opinion of Harrods and have made me consider shopping there in the future. You deserve every moment of your success and more imo. 😘
Hi Sophie. Thank you for the video. Please don't touch your mask when you're wearing it. I saw you holding the handrail on the escalator also. You should only put and take off your mask by holding it from the string pieces. If the virus is on the mask and you keep touching it, it will go into your nostrils, mouth and eyes and that's where you can get sick. Please, please, please don't touch the mask and try to keep it on throughout your entire time in the store. You don't have it wear it in your car. But once you put it on when you leave your car to go in the store, then keep it on and don't take it off until you get back into your car, and then take off only from the string part and dispose of it. Please take good care of yourself. Hope you know this is coming from a good place. Sending hugs. XOXO
I feel sorry for Sophie, she is such a considerate and nice person - why are there so many negative comments? You could have said the same thing about the mask in a nicer way... I don't think she deserves all that🤷
I think a lot of it is genuine concern. I have friends who decided to forgo masks and have gotten it and passed it on and now wish they wore them properly before. Ppl are just scared and anxious about everyone and everything. It’s quite literally a foe we can’t see. No one should be mean and empathy and understanding are what’s needed right now I agree. Let’s all be kind.
I would probably be safer for her to not wear a mask so much she is touching it. The point of the mask is to stop liquid droplets from your mouth that could transfer the virus. When you touch the mask the virus gets transfered to your hands and then on to things you touch and then over to other people. Totaly negates the use of the mask. The behaviour of Sophie was exactly why the health authorites around Europa didn't want to recommend mask because they feared it would actually increase the spread. Usually I would agree that Sophie is a very considerate person. In this case I would say it is the opposite. Her touching her mask all the time is very rude and inconsiderate of the situation.
Because these are the types of people who love a rule to follow. No doubt they’re the ones out at the protests and down the beach, but get all butt hurt when Sophie touches her own mask. Get a life u lot ffs
You are just so lovely! 😊 Like sometimes you forget how people’s personalities are when you don’t see them for a while, but I just turned on your video and it is just so pleasant to hear you talk? 😄
Ladies, it's true that she should have worn her mask constantly, without taking it off, but she was doing it because it must have felt uncomfortable to talk to the camera with the mask on. I'm sure she will read all our comments after this video and remember to always wear it from now on ❤ Stay healty, Sophie ❤
Exactly BelBel! I was worried about the dialogue/sound being a series of muffles! I will say, masks aren’t the law in the uk, a lot of people don’t wear them. I’d probably have been better not wearing, so as to not keep touching it! 😅 Thank you for watching my friend!xx😘😘
@@SophieShohetOfficial thank YOU, Sophie for everything 😄 You are like an elegant aunt to me, reminding me that hard work will always be worth it.. You are my motivation to keep going with my college, no matter how hard it gets, because in the end, I will be thankful to myself for it, when I realise what I've accomplished, just like You, hopefully❤ I love Your videos and You, ty for everything 😊 Edit: yes, unfortunately many people don't understand how hard it is to fight the virus and that they are affecting others by not wearing their masks, bot just themselves.. it's same everywhere, even in my country. But it is what it is.. and sometimes we can't wear it for different reasons.. in any case, I can't wait for this period to be over 😂
Thank you again BelBel! 🙏🏽 and regards to college - it’s no doubt really tedious/hard work etc but it pays off! I hated college, I just wanted to go out and have fun, but I see now the benefits ☺️ Every success with your studies my friend!xx😘😘
I've desperately missed my day-long shopping trips (even coming away empty-handed!), but I am in no hurry to get back into the shops, it would just be too stressful. We're getting food shops delivered where possible, but there's always loads missing and I have to go to the supermarket once a fortnight for a top up shop and I hate it! It's so stressful, and people don't stick to social distancing measures. They way I feel right now, I never want to leave my house again! Thank you for staying authentic. Big love to you, David & the bunnies 💖
You deserve everything good in your life. You're the nicest person and I enjoy your videos so so much. I'm sending much love for you and your family ❤️
For migraines, you might want to talk to your doctor about medications called Triptans (serotonin receptor agonist). If you get stress or hormone related migraines. A neurologist suggested one for me and it's helped immensely. If I feel a migraine coming on, I just take one, and I can go about my day as normal. Like nothing ever happened. I used to have migraines for 3 days straight, now I'm like a normal person again. Be safe and I love your videos! ❤️
Please remember to not touch your face & hair when your out and about! Keep the mask on at all times otherwise it’s not safe for others touching the same items. Also loved the Vlog and glad to see you at Harrods again!! Xx
Sophie, I know exactly what you are saying with the anxiety and stress. My husband and I went to dinner outside and I felt the same. I said from day one this would happen to everyone. Scared to leave the house!
Much love to you all in the UK...here in New Zealand we managed to eliminate C19 for a time however it's coming back in across our boarder, first cases were two women from the UK so please act like you have the virus when your out. Protect yourselves and stay safe everyone.
My husband and I went to Oxford st. on Saturday and I told him the same thing !! I felt so anxious and I just wanted to go back home. Been following you for a couple of years now, love your content & you 🥰 Feel better darling !
I get so happy when I see you've posted a video. You are such a genuine person that I can't even imagine a moment where you could even begin to be fake. That is what draws people in to your channel. You feel like the rest of us do and you're not afraid to express it. I am glad we get still get to see you and David out and about and at home. Your content is always fresh and relaxing. I find it informative and I am so going to get that eye cream. Have a wonderful week sweetheart
I live in the United States in California and I just wanna say... you are so down to earth. A breath of fresh air. Love going on your shopping excursions an food excursions. Keep going with your videos they are soothing actually and fun to watch. Thank you
I hope all the mask comments didn't get you too down! I hope you continue to wear a mask, not just for your benefit, but for others as well! You never know if you may be asymptomatic and you wearing a mask would protect others. Hope this didn't come off too harsh, just want you to stay safe! Love you! 😘
I’m actually glad you went out shopping and shared your experience. I’m planning my shopping trip next month. Yes! Need a month to plan out right lol. Loving your pink Kenzo jumper btw. Ps. Ignore social bullying. They don’t worth your time. We all love you. Stay safe! ❤️
Love the Dior heels! And have to tell you I just got my first pair of GG sneakers but still locked down and haven’t worn them yet. Super comfy in the house though. I am SO looking forward to each new video to keep me company here in NYC so make more and thank you for this one !
Hi 👋 sophie Thankyou for sharing your life with us. I am very great full for the good knowledge you provide. Please keep making your videos they are a big inspiration for me . 🥰😍😘 .
Oh wow, this was interesting! An Lee is still working which is good so he has his job and hopefully doing well. No wonder they do not allow more people in the store as that would be more dangerous to them as well. It is good that you and David checked out the place and I am sure that things will get better in time. That pair of shoes with the hounds tooth pattern is perfect with your Dior bag!
Sophie, loving the matching shoes to the bag you got from David for Christmas. The monochrome will go with everything. I absolutely understand your feelings and tiredness and no need to apologise for anxiety or sweat as lockdown and Covid-19 has affected many. I went to shop after shops re-open and honestly felt like you. Sudden movement of people made me slightly terrified and I just wanted to leave. Thank you for being honest and kind! Stay safe x
Thank you from Canada for your great videos! I’m sorry people chose to use your lighthearted, uplifting and fun back to shopping video for a whole diatribe on everything that had nothing to do with this lovely video! I, do, however love the concern for your health from the lovely US RN. Thank you again!
Sophie I felt the same way you did when I went back to the shops. I felt uneasy and I didn’t feel like it was fun. A lot of the stores are still closed in the U.S. too. So glad it’s not just me. Love your vids!!!❤️
I just like to say that you and David are such beautiful people! I absolutely love and look forward to your content so much! Thank you for the continuous posts!
I hope you feel better soon and it’s really just a migraine. I’ve felt similar in the beginning of the Covid, major headache for 3 days, felt exhausted, then got slight fever and lost sense of smell and taste. That was in March. Now I know I have antibodies so it was the virus. Xx
First and foremost, I think you do a GREAT job Sophie and you have put yourself out for all of us over these last months especially. For those who were negative about your touching handrails, or your mask being down, they are free to stay home and seal themselves in hermetically. Some of the rest of us, however, are out there with a smile and cheerful talk as it is great to see smiling faces and actually interact with someone who looks human rather than looking like a bank robber. FACT: Over a million people a year die from Tuberculosis and it is spread through the air. Why have we not worn masks all these years? The C-virus has killed less than the yearly flu and is spread by touch... so WHY are we wearing masks? As you can tell, I take 'orders' with a grain of salt and being an American (I guess that's my excuse) I don't like to be fenced in (or told what I can do). SOOO... if you don't want to re-breath your CO2 (the toxins your body is trying to expel when you breath out), then skip the mask and dare to smile at the world. Leave dear, sweet Sophie alone and let her do what she wants, how she wants... and just appreciate that she is taking her time to interact with us even when she doesn't feel well. Great to see your smiling face and to see you out and about again.... thanks for all you do!
Thank you for the video. It was epic! I am also nervous in shops. I need a new tripod and planned to go to the shops yesterday, but I ended up buying it on-line even though I have been saying I do not like online shopping. (I don't!) I did go to a cafe for a coffee, but I made very sure I chose a cafe with not many people in it. Everyone seems to be forgetting that the scourge is still out there! Have a fabulous week!
I went in yesterday. It was so dire. I’ll wait for life to go back to normal. It’s empty (which is not bad), but you can’t touch anything and all the sales assistants are totally anxious.
💯 you can be worried but there’s a different between being panicky and scare clients off and being responsibly wary. I won’t go shopping any time soon. 😅 Hope all these shopping assistants will keep their job though 😬
Stéphanie Gmail yea, look, everyone is different and experiencing it differently. I’m in London, so my perspective will be different to someone living outside London. I think retail will be hit hard, but who knows. Hopefully there will be job creation in other sectors, but realistically, there will be much higher unemployment and likely inflation and tax hikes.
I know what you mean: when our stores in Ontario, Canada, first opened, I was torn. I love shopping, no matter what it's for, but I knew it wouldn't be close to being the same experience, as to be expected. I decided though, as superficial as it may seem to many, it's something that used to bring me joy, so when I did go shopping for the first time, I was careful, wore a mask, etc., and decided to make the best of it. I did that because the past 3 months had been difficult, stressful, sometimes depressing, so I enjoyed those few hours out of the house. It was exactly what I needed to feel energized again to go back to homeschooling my 3 kids. And I didn't feel guilty one bit. ;)
Hello Sophie! I understand how you felt, I get this panic too. You look lovely and that Kenzo suits you🌞 I love all your videos, but your finance/life videos and these are my favourite - there was a mix of things in here which, to me, is your style only. And I just love seeing you open letters from people. I love the time when people used to write letters to each other, it seems so genuine and carefully thought-out, not to mention it actually takes time to do it, as opposed to a regular text message, which is meaningless at most times. 🌞
I felt that same kind of anxiety as you did when I visited a department store recently in the US. I hope it starts feeling less awkward after awhile, as I think these shopping protocols are going to be in place for a long time. The “new normal” is quite an adjustment!
I’m desperate to get to the shops but the thought of it just makes me want to stay at home. It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only person who finds going out stressful now.
I love the shopping vlog! All the "new" stuff at Dior are so nice! And your "deathly" and "sweaty" looks are so much better than my "good day" looks lol I work in lab setting, where wearing the masks for a long time while doing physical tasks (even N95) is regular thing. So I also noticed you touching your masks a lot. When all this started, I had to keep on pointing this out to my family member. It's a normal thing to not want anything on your face, but if you must touch it to readjust, try not to touch the inside of the mask. There is only so much the hand sanitizers can kill. We'll all get used to talking to others with masks on, communicating through the muffled noises and repeating ourselves a few times. I LOVED how you reached out for David in the beginning of the video. It just shows a glimpse of how much you guys love each other, and I love how he's apologizing for his camera work lol He's such a trooper for helping you out!
Everyone I know has been having these margarines including myself and I got really sick for almost a week and a half. Stay safe Sophie and please wear your mask the entire time for safety, bring some sanitizer as well. ❤️
Sophie please just ignore the “mask police” ppl 🤦🏼♀️. Thanks for taking us along. I think most of the world feels strange and weird, I too attempted to go shopping just to get out of the house and to my surprise I couldn’t get home fast enough! It’s so sad 😞. Regards to you and David from 🇨🇦
Angela Sowton The "mask police" as you call them are people that are worried about other people and want to make sure that as few people as possible need to die. How is it a bad thing to want a person they love to do the right thing and not help spread dead?
I went shopping in Harrods on the first day in the UK that retail shops could open after COVID Lockdown (Monday 15th June 2020). I was taken aback at what shopping is now like and I left after just 1.5 hours. There is currently a slash 40% sale in Harrods (items that weren’t sold during the 3 months of lockdown). This includes Chanel & DIOR Sales!!! The atmosphere was rather stressful, what with the new rules about how many people can enter the store (plus, fitting rooms are closed - so you can’t try things on)
Found this so interesting, I also went to harrods and didn't enjoy it as usual! I keep worrying about keeping my distance to people and could not focus on the shopping. The food Hall got crazy so I left, people did not keep at 2 meters in there and would come up to you to look at the same food and stand sooo close to you! Hope you feel better! x
Sophie Shohet | Fashion Beauty Lifestyle. I know what you mean I went to Neiman Marcus in Northbrook , Chicago yesterday and when I got inside they asked if I have an appointment for a moment there I thought I was in the wrong place . It’s so weird .I needed to make an appointment and they assigned a associate to walk around the store with you ,thank you , but no thank you. So the experience was that I had to leave . Nice.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Elizabeth & Sofia - it’s great to hear your experiences and I’m glad it’s not just me feeling this way. The ‘new normal’ is horrible and quite stress inducing. I won’t be rushing back any time soon!xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial Totally agree!!
Hi Sophie, I do enjoy your posts here in the USA. I am an RN who loves designer handbags. As a trained RN I must tell you a few things and we ALL do this. 1. Don’t touch the escalator rail! Yuk!! 2. When you open a door pull your sleeves down over your hands if you have to pull it or push it open with your upper arm 3. I want you to watch the video and count how many times you touch your face around your mask area after you touch other things. Even as a nurse who wears a mask a lot it is hard not to touch your face. Just a few tips to keep you safe so we can continue to watch your lovely videos.
I love Sophie and I know what you mean. I’m so nervous watching Sophie touching the escalator rail, pulling her mask and putting it back on her face. 😬
Amelie I’m not from the US. And I’m not having a go at Sophie. I’m just stating the concern I have while watching the video. Everyone around the World is fed up, not just people from Europe. Unfortunately, being fed up doesn’t warrant people of not getting COVID-19. I reckon being vigilant is a civic duty not just to yourself but to all the vulnerable people around. I’m considered to be of high risk as I have chronic bronchitis. I know everyone is going to die one day but I hope I’m not going to anytime soon. Take care and stay safe. P.S. I have two little kids hence I’m extra careful.
Irene Boyer I was very concerned for her as well and definitely not to judge. I am a licensed esthetician so I feel you and I don’t think most people understand cross contamination. I don’t blame them. I think it’s possible that the feeling of anxiety as well as apathy for shopping may be Sophie have a subconscious feeling that it is not safe in public even though she is stating that she’s not worried about covid. Our subconscious mind can definitely play tricks on our consciousness. All good things to you Sophie. xoxo
Shopping malls should install those UV light thingy that sanitizes the escalator handrails as it moves. Thats what malls in my country are doing and they also employed people to keep on disinfecting knobs and door rails every few minutes. Many people in my country have also taken to wearing masks and even latex gloves when they go out. Heck even the cashiers at my local grocery stores were equipped with gloves, masks and eye visors by their employers.
Never drive in a car because you might get in a wreck. No way to get over it then to get it. 99.75% survive. Death rate of .25% is not a pandemic!
I’m not bothered with sponsored content. As long as it’s not with a shady company/product. We all got bills to pay . Do it Sophie! 👍
^^^^ !!! I trust Sophie ❤️
She has more than enough money for bills lol it’s ok for sponsored content but you act like she’s a single mom on RUclips trying to make it big 🙄🤦🏻♀️😂
Kim En what? What do you mean?
Kim En she’s just being supportive? :p
Never stop posting. I specifically look forward to "our" conversation. The blazer you wore when you shopped looked fabulous.
I always appreciate your support here my friend, thank you for watching 😊 Have a super week ahead 😘😘xx
I'm a sales assistant at a luxury boutique and i can say that it drives sales persons crazy when guests keep taking their masks off...
I don’t even wear one. Everyone else is anyway. What drives me crazy is that they keep asking you to sanitise your hands. We actually need some germs to keep our immune system working. At this point, I’m going to start eating dirt just to keep the immune system functioning.
YESSSS! I was stressed watching her do that. It defeats the point of wearing the mask. One is not suppose to put their hands on the mask 😷 & it just doesn’t do anything to protect yourself or others if you constantly take off the mask.
This is why I won’t go shopping 🛍 such an unpersonal experience to talk with a mask on. #safetyfirst
Julia so it’s ok for others to wear their masks to protect you but you won’t wear a mask to protect others? That is very selfish imo.
MK H lol way to interpret stuff. You do you and I’ll do me. No one is at risk of anything from me, especially given the distancing we have in place. I live in central London, the infection rate has dropped drastically and barely anyone is using masks in stores or on the street.
I'm sorry Sophie, I agree with David. Chanel has gone down the tubes.
I respect that they stopped using exotic leathers, but other than that they've lost their appeal for me.
@@ittybittykittypi6565, I totally agree. It's nice they have become more ethical, but with the price increases and boring ways, I am done.
I read your comment as Channel has gone down the tubes and I was like ‘hey you and David be nice to Sophie!’ LOL
Audrey - Omg your comment cracked me up! 😂 lolo!🤣
Sophie Shohet | Fashion Beauty Lifestyle haha I felt so silly! 🤗
Sophie, please do not keep touching and taking your mask on and off....when you put your fingers inside the mask to pull it off you are contaminating the inside of your mask and your hand....and then you will be touching things, thank you! ☮️❤️🇨🇦
I don't fully understand the purpose of the mask and touching it. Presumably the mask is to keep my germs from escaping. If I've been isolating then I shouldn't really have Covid germs so what difference does it make if I touch it? I don't mean to be ignorant, it would be different if I was trying to maintain a sterile field.
Christine Hunt that gives me anxiety and that is why I have not been shopping. ❤️❤️❤️ you Sophie but please don’t keep pullling off your mask and touching things.
Harper Isolating or not....you could be a coronavirus carrier and be asymptomatic....The disease is spread by respiratory droplets that come out of you, not only when you cough or sneeze.... but also when you breathe, talk, etc The mask helps to keep them in.....you are breathing into the mask so when you touch the inside of the mask with your hand those droplets are now on your hand and will be spread to anything your hand touches next and then when the next person touches that surface they pick it up etc. etc. This virus is very contagious and has community spread....you can get it from people who do not seem sick. You mentioned sterile, the mask is not sterile....and that is not the goal.
@@crustyrash she's touching things outside that may be contaminated with the virus and touching her mask which can expose her to the virus. and then she touches other things after touching the potentially contaminated mask, potentially contaminating whatever else she touches. it may sound like a reach but its better to be safe than sorry during a pandemic
Blonde By The River Not true
Sophie you are one of the few RUclipsrs who have repeatedly shown great integrity. If you want to do a sponsored video then please do, get your coin gurlll.
I found your video's a couple of months back when I was looking for a new designer bag. Ever since they've been a little me-time when I'm relaxing on the couch, sitting in the garden or even in the bath tub. I love how you venture out and honestly describe the pro's and cons of certain bags. I have bought bags new but also pre-loved. In this video you also talk about skin care products. My best friend is a dermatologist and pharmacist. He actually was a pharmacist with his own pharmacy before he realized he he was bored and wanted to do something else. He told me the only cream that really works is tretinoin cream. I use a 0,5% gel cream that I mix with regular cream in roughly a 1;2-3 ratio. I use it at night and my skin has never been better, no wrinkles no blackheads and it feels soft and smooth. There is no need to spend hunderds of dollars on this, this cream cost about $30 and it lasts me a couple of months cause you use so little of it, a pea size dot is enough. It also restores damaged skin. (in US it's sold as Retin-A). Keep safe.
Sophie, you’re so sweet. I love that you do mailtime and really take the time to get to know your subscribers☺️
Sophie, you are just the sweetest person, that is why we all love you! I hope you get to feeling better.
Please never stop posting. I love your channel. From luxury to business advice. True the best
Don’t kill me, but please stop touching your mask and keep taking it off and on. It totally defeats the whole purpose of the mask. The mask is not to protect you but to protect other people. Love watching all your videos! :)
My thoughts EXACTLY. Plus she's contaminating it each time she touches it from the front or puts her fingers inside it. It should only be handles from the ear loops and the minimal possible. I love her videos but cringed each time she did that aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
I was thinking the same thing! It’s weird that people think they need to lower their mask when talking, like no we can still hear you
I think it’s absolutely amazing that you recognize your subscribers and read their letters… It speaks a lot about who you are as a person which the world needs more hours… Love… Positive connections… And lots of virtual hugs… We love you
You’re freaking me out when you take off your mask to talk. Please STAY SAFE!
A mask is not obligatory in many shops in the UK. Chill.
Same. Please be careful! Xoxo
@@Shasha-jo5iv obligatory or not, stop touching your mask/face!
@Shasha whilst not obligatory, if you choose to wear a mask you shouldn’t touch it once on, and shouldn’t pull it down below your chin. Once you touch the front of the mask, which is contaminated, your hands are then contaminated and the risk of cross contamination of anything is increased significantly. So Sophie had to use hand sanitizer when she went in the concessions, and then she’s picking up those dresses in Dior, touching her mask, then touching another garment and another surface, then some shoes etc. She is inadvertently cross contaminating all those items because of what was on her mask, then her hands.
This is not me bashing on Sophie, please understand this, it’s just a mistake lots of people make when wearing masks. Constantly touching the mask and then other things is actually more risky than not wearing a mask. There’s plenty of information about how to properly wear masks and PPE and the do’s and don’ts.
That aside, I love the Dior shoes she got!
Please Stay save! And sometimes you wear the mask up side down.
You’re so sweet Sophie 💗 And no one will be upset with any sponsored video, it’s part of being a youtuber/influencer. As long as you’re transparent and only work with brands you truely love everyone will be so happy for your success xx
I went shopping in Old Town Alexandria (Washington DC area) yesterday and felt like Typhoid Mary! It's an area with mostly small local specialty shops such as stationary or antiques. I am a very visual and sociable person and I found it difficult talking to the clerks while standing six feet apart wearing a mask, it made me realize just how much I depend on facial expressions to communicate. Everyone I encountered seemed so timid, there was none of that normal smiling and nodding to people on the street. Then browsing in the shops, some people wore latex gloves, I was just afraid to touch anything. It was not at all a fun, happy, leisure-shopping experience.
Sophie, I really appreciate you doing this blog. Particularly during this pandemic, I look forward to Sunday afternoons (I'm in the US).
I live in richmond va and I know exactly what your talking about it’s strange
Hey neighbor! I have to say that the crowds in Old Town are freaking me out. Even the outdoor tables seem too close together. I haven’t been comfortable going into any stores, except to get ice cream 😊. So I understand Sophie feeling panicky in Harrods. I’m going to keep shopping online for the time being.
Haha I love Old Town Alexandria, I haven’t been to visit in a while though with the virus going on. It’s too bad that the fun’s been sucked from it.
Kacey Marioghae It’s hateful almost! I love the upper blocks of King Street. All the lazy easiness of shopping for things I don’t need is gone.
I've been watching your videos for months now, since way before lockdown -- actually, I binged a ton around the new year. It's because of your videos that I finally pushed myself to buy a handbag from a brand I've wanted for almost two decades! I spent months and months researching which one I wanted, even though it's not as expensive as the sort of things you tend to get... it's still a lot of money for a bag for me. I'm happy to report it's on its way :D My birthday is in two days, so it was my gift to myself. Thanks for all you do!!
I love how much you appreciate your subscibers Sophie! I think they are so nice because you are such a nice and genuine person. I have been watching you for years and I love your video's so much. Thank you for making them and please never quit haha! Love from the Netherlands xxx
I really loved the sneak peaks of London during your drive! It brought back so many lovely memories of my trips there! Watching with my glass of wine🍷😉 Thanks for the fun video Sophe, stay safe! 💗
Hi Sophie. Such a nice video! It is so good to see how things are building up. Thanks for the mail I knew you will like it and it was such a long time in the making that I was looking for goodies to compensate for my constant promise of writing... It is such a pleasure watching your channel and your life unfolding. I almost 5 years that I follow you and I love how is growing. Many thanks for your kindness and for your work. :)
Shopping is no longer recreational therapy, you're saying. That's sad ;( I hope shopping, and especially you, with the fatigued headache, improve!!! Love the new shoes!
Everytime I go out for groceries I feel very panicky also. I think its understandable. Then I see people having drinks or having dinner on Instagram posts like nothing is happening and it stresses me out even more. It's such a confusing time.
Sophie you’re so real, down to earth and honest. I really look up to you as a woman who has her own business x x
yes totally!
Thanks for giving us a glimpse of what London is like nowadays. Keep safe! ❤️
You are so kind and genuine when you talk frankly to your audience about how appreciative you are. You're one of those rare people who is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside! : )
Sophie you look so confident, walking around like you own the place. Please make a video on how to be like that. I struggle with confidence and watching this video made me realize how empowering confidence is. Love you 💓
The joy on Sophie’s face when she opens mail is precious.
I really dont like the fact that everyone can still just touch everything and the sales assistants still didnt seem to be keeping far away enough
Amelie - 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏well said
I'm in Ireland and our shopping experience is so different now, do you guys in the UK have any guidelines? We've been "told" only to go to the shops if you know what you need, go get it then leave, no hanging around, no cafes are open, no restaurants, no food courts, all communal seats have been removed, if you try on a shoe the assistant then has to remove it from the display for 24 hours, same with clothes - I'm assuming they will be steamed. But the mask is the biggest thing, they are not compulsory but advised, but I was cringing at the screen when Sophie kept touching it, and it was up down, up down, your fingers were on the inside of it, so you may as well have not been wearing it at all. I know it's a bit learning curve for all of us. As we've been told, we now need to learn to live with this virus, it's not going away.
Amelie Wow why did you feel it was necessary to attack people with negative names who didn’t attack anyone, but simply expressed an option? If you felt compelled to reply, perhaps you could’ve been encouraging somehow by providing a positive comment about your knowledge of why it’s so safe to touch everything. I encourage you to do your research. Be kind please and carry on. PS: notice how many people put a thumbs up on the comment of the person you bullied...hmmmm
@Amelie Its not just disappeared because you can go shopping now, it just means there are beds available for you in hospital now. Cases in Germany have gone up again because lockdown was lifted too early. Other countries like South Korea an Taiwan have managed to get it down and keep it down. They are getting on with their lives as usual, no distancing, shopping like normal, going to work, socializing because they kept to the rules, they all wear masks and sanitize. If we're not careful we will have another lockdown which is what we all dont want I'm sure.
@Amelie you know that hundreds of thousands people have died becoz of this virus? You obviously have no experience of someone close dying to this terrible virus. Or the hellish ordeal of the road to survival. Get a brain and a heart Amelie becoz you are lacking both organs!
I feel the same as you with regards to the stress just going to the store. It’s awkward, stressful and not relaxing in the least for all the reasons you mentioned. We go out, get what we need and come home. Sometimes shopping should be relaxing and enjoyable. I don’t foresee it getting back to normal for a long time. It’s quite depressing.
I love David! He’s so equally invested!
i want my first designer bag to be a lady dior... this bag is just.. everything
I think it's wonderful you took the time to thank people! I really enjoy your videos!
Please don't stop making videos, you are a bright spot in a dull world now. You are never annoying!!!!!! And I would work with Selfridges too!!! That was ahhmazing!!!!
We love you and your video🖤 you are not only a kind person your smart and I dont know why but hearing about you talk about going to education & going out in your 20's☺️ and your career it fits my idea I had of you being a strong , smart ,kind person and I hope you never stop you channel 🖤
You are so incredibly kind, Sophie. You make the greatest, most fun and interesting videos. Always. Love your vlogs especially. Hearing you talk about life, fashion trends, designer stuff and cars as well is always a joy ❤🤗🤗😊
Yes, it REALLY stresses me out now to go to malls, shopping centers, department stores, etc. and, just like you, all I want to do is turn around & go home. I believe the reason is that there are so many rules & regulations for touching, masks, hand sanitizer, social distancing, etc. that I’m really afraid I’ll forget something & be “called on it” or embarrassed.🤭 I simply can’t get anything accomplished if I can’t try-on/touch & for me, that’s the main reason I physically GO to shopping centers in the first place!
I’ll shop in stores when corona is less of a problem
The Peachie Spoonie Yes, I’ve come to that conclusion too....unfortunately, it may be awhile.😔
L Gempet that’s ok, plus a silver lining is that since there’s nowhere to really go and no parties I don’t need any new clothes
oh god, me too. I went more for a walk in the old town - castle, historical defense wall and buildings from 14th century and I only went inside shops to cool down for 2 hours max, I still recuperate 1 week later from the madness inside.
julijakeit I’m so sad. I was so looking forward to my trip to England for the first time with my daughter. It’s my dream to go to one of those beautiful castles and feel the history. Hopefully we’ll be able to go next year 😟
David: 2:02 "She's wearing silver trousers"
I dunno why but I found that so funny 😂
Love you Sophie.... you are very kind ❤️❤️❤️ hope you feel better!
Hey Sophie, I actually felt so odd & anxious... I got my order and left after seeing you both, not sure if I'll venture out again ❤
It was great seeing you VJ, yes a very weird day - glad when I got home!xx
As someone who was tested POSITIVE for corona virus, when you said you had bad migraines it made me slightly worried. My only symptoms were a migraine, feeling tired, and then lost sense of smell and taste (this was before it was classified as a symptom). Please don’t leave the house if you’re feeling at all unwell. Very irresponsible, especially because you kept taking your mask off, touching your face and then touching items in the store.
She didn’t feel bad in the store. She filmed the unboxing on a different day. I’m sure she wouldn’t go shopping with a migraine.
Hey Izabella, I’m so sorry to hear you had it - I hope you are recovered now?
My migraine happened on the weekend and was caused by me ricking my neck (so painful!) I went to Harrods on the Monday and wasn’t ill. Thankfully the migraine has gone today 😊
I’m not sure if you’ve ever had one but you can hardly walk coherently, let alone shop! Terrible! Anyway, you have a lovely week my friend!☺️xx
@@SophieShohetOfficial Binge watching. My theory is that back in Jan when you complained about feeling like you were catching a cold. You prob had it back then.
Be safe. I'm 4 months behind. lol
PS - You have always struck me as more of a Selfridges girl than Harrods. You have totally changed my opinion of Harrods and have made me consider shopping there in the future.
You deserve every moment of your success and more imo. 😘
I LOVE the background music in your videos! It’s part of what makes them so appealing.
Hi Sophie. Thank you for the video. Please don't touch your mask when you're wearing it. I saw you holding the handrail on the escalator also. You should only put and take off your mask by holding it from the string pieces. If the virus is on the mask and you keep touching it, it will go into your nostrils, mouth and eyes and that's where you can get sick. Please, please, please don't touch the mask and try to keep it on throughout your entire time in the store. You don't have it wear it in your car. But once you put it on when you leave your car to go in the store, then keep it on and don't take it off until you get back into your car, and then take off only from the string part and dispose of it. Please take good care of yourself. Hope you know this is coming from a good place. Sending hugs. XOXO
I feel sorry for Sophie, she is such a considerate and nice person - why are there so many negative comments? You could have said the same thing about the mask in a nicer way... I don't think she deserves all that🤷
I think a lot of it is genuine concern. I have friends who decided to forgo masks and have gotten it and passed it on and now wish they wore them properly before. Ppl are just scared and anxious about everyone and everything. It’s quite literally a foe we can’t see. No one should be mean and empathy and understanding are what’s needed right now I agree. Let’s all be kind.
Sandra Sovamishki I agree w/you 💯%!!
@@chanelsimone6072 yes it's all very scary, I understand ❤
I would probably be safer for her to not wear a mask so much she is touching it. The point of the mask is to stop liquid droplets from your mouth that could transfer the virus. When you touch the mask the virus gets transfered to your hands and then on to things you touch and then over to other people. Totaly negates the use of the mask. The behaviour of Sophie was exactly why the health authorites around Europa didn't want to recommend mask because they feared it would actually increase the spread. Usually I would agree that Sophie is a very considerate person. In this case I would say it is the opposite. Her touching her mask all the time is very rude and inconsiderate of the situation.
Because these are the types of people who love a rule to follow. No doubt they’re the ones out at the protests and down the beach, but get all butt hurt when Sophie touches her own mask. Get a life u lot ffs
I absolutely adore the crinkle some people get when they smile, it adds so much character I really wish I was lucky enough to have those
You are just so lovely! 😊 Like sometimes you forget how people’s personalities are when you don’t see them for a while, but I just turned on your video and it is just so pleasant to hear you talk? 😄
And please don’t ever stop making videos I absolutely love your videos they always lift my spirits ❤️ and I hope you feel better soon ! ❤️
Ladies, it's true that she should have worn her mask constantly, without taking it off, but she was doing it because it must have felt uncomfortable to talk to the camera with the mask on. I'm sure she will read all our comments after this video and remember to always wear it from now on ❤ Stay healty, Sophie ❤
Exactly BelBel! I was worried about the dialogue/sound being a series of muffles! I will say, masks aren’t the law in the uk, a lot of people don’t wear them. I’d probably have been better not wearing, so as to not keep touching it! 😅 Thank you for watching my friend!xx😘😘
thank you for your comment, couldn't agree more!
@@SophieShohetOfficial thank YOU, Sophie for everything 😄 You are like an elegant aunt to me, reminding me that hard work will always be worth it.. You are my motivation to keep going with my college, no matter how hard it gets, because in the end, I will be thankful to myself for it, when I realise what I've accomplished, just like You, hopefully❤ I love Your videos and You, ty for everything 😊
Edit: yes, unfortunately many people don't understand how hard it is to fight the virus and that they are affecting others by not wearing their masks, bot just themselves.. it's same everywhere, even in my country. But it is what it is.. and sometimes we can't wear it for different reasons.. in any case, I can't wait for this period to be over 😂
Thank you again BelBel! 🙏🏽 and regards to college - it’s no doubt really tedious/hard work etc but it pays off! I hated college, I just wanted to go out and have fun, but I see now the benefits ☺️ Every success with your studies my friend!xx😘😘
Aina E But in Asia they also made covid which isn’t right 🥶
I've desperately missed my day-long shopping trips (even coming away empty-handed!), but I am in no hurry to get back into the shops, it would just be too stressful. We're getting food shops delivered where possible, but there's always loads missing and I have to go to the supermarket once a fortnight for a top up shop and I hate it! It's so stressful, and people don't stick to social distancing measures. They way I feel right now, I never want to leave my house again! Thank you for staying authentic. Big love to you, David & the bunnies 💖
You deserve everything good in your life. You're the nicest person and I enjoy your videos so so much. I'm sending much love for you and your family ❤️
For migraines, you might want to talk to your doctor about medications called Triptans (serotonin receptor agonist). If you get stress or hormone related migraines. A neurologist suggested one for me and it's helped immensely. If I feel a migraine coming on, I just take one, and I can go about my day as normal. Like nothing ever happened. I used to have migraines for 3 days straight, now I'm like a normal person again. Be safe and I love your videos! ❤️
Please remember to not touch your face & hair when your out and about! Keep the mask on at all times otherwise it’s not safe for others touching the same items. Also loved the Vlog and glad to see you at Harrods again!! Xx
Sophie, I know exactly what you are saying with the anxiety and stress. My husband and I went to dinner outside and I felt the same. I said from day one this would happen to everyone. Scared to leave the house!
Much love to you all in the UK...here in New Zealand we managed to eliminate C19 for a time however it's coming back in across our boarder, first cases were two women from the UK so please act like you have the virus when your out. Protect yourselves and stay safe everyone.
💯
My husband and I went to Oxford st. on Saturday and I told him the same thing !! I felt so anxious and I just wanted to go back home.
Been following you for a couple of years now, love your content & you 🥰
Feel better darling !
I get so happy when I see you've posted a video. You are such a genuine person that I can't even imagine a moment where you could even begin to be fake. That is what draws people in to your channel. You feel like the rest of us do and you're not afraid to express it. I am glad we get still get to see you and David out and about and at home. Your content is always fresh and relaxing. I find it informative and I am so going to get that eye cream. Have a wonderful week sweetheart
I love seeing you outside in the car!
By far Sophia, you are my favourite fashion RUclipsr! Please do not stop making videos💜 sending love from Canada🤗💜
I'm so happy this channel gives you joy because it sure brings it to us😊
We love you Sophie! You are a breath of fresh air!😘
Thanks for taking us to harrods. Love seeing the streets of London.
I live in the United States in California and I just wanna say... you are so down to earth. A breath of fresh air. Love going on your shopping excursions an food excursions. Keep going with your videos they are soothing actually and fun to watch. Thank you
I hope all the mask comments didn't get you too down! I hope you continue to wear a mask, not just for your benefit, but for others as well! You never know if you may be asymptomatic and you wearing a mask would protect others. Hope this didn't come off too harsh, just want you to stay safe! Love you! 😘
Please don’t every stop making content love them so much and I hope you are feeling better now ♥️♥️
I love how David supports you!
I’m actually glad you went out shopping and shared your experience. I’m planning my shopping trip next month. Yes! Need a month to plan out right lol. Loving your pink Kenzo jumper btw. Ps. Ignore social bullying. They don’t worth your time. We all love you. Stay safe! ❤️
You never annoy anyone. You are wonderful.
Love the Dior heels! And have to tell you I just got my first pair of GG sneakers but still locked down and haven’t worn them yet. Super comfy in the house though. I am SO looking forward to each new video to keep me company here in NYC so make more and thank you for this one !
Hi 👋 sophie Thankyou for sharing your life with us. I am very great full for the good knowledge you provide. Please keep making your videos they are a big inspiration for me . 🥰😍😘 .
Oh wow, this was interesting! An Lee is still working which is good so he has his job and hopefully doing well. No wonder they do not allow more people in the store as that would be more dangerous to them as well. It is good that you and David checked out the place and I am sure that things will get better in time. That pair of shoes with the hounds tooth pattern is perfect with your Dior bag!
I love the Kenzo sweater you’re wearing 💓
Same, it’s adorable 😍
Can you guys just film driving around like that while talking. It was so relaxing. Love your channel.
You are killing me with the mask! Your voice is completely fine and understandable with the mask on!
I discovered you recently and love your videos they are always so informative and an experience! 💕
Sophie, loving the matching shoes to the bag you got from David for Christmas. The monochrome will go with everything. I absolutely understand your feelings and tiredness and no need to apologise for anxiety or sweat as lockdown and Covid-19 has affected many. I went to shop after shops re-open and honestly felt like you. Sudden movement of people made me slightly terrified and I just wanted to leave. Thank you for being honest and kind! Stay safe x
Your videos with a good cup of coffee are my self care.
Thank you from Canada for your great videos! I’m sorry people chose to use your lighthearted, uplifting and fun back to shopping video for a whole diatribe on everything that had nothing to do with this lovely video! I, do, however love the concern for your health from the lovely US RN. Thank you again!
Sophie I felt the same way you did when I went back to the shops. I felt uneasy and I didn’t feel like it was fun. A lot of the stores are still closed in the U.S. too. So glad it’s not just me. Love your vids!!!❤️
I just like to say that you and David are such beautiful people! I absolutely love and look forward to your content so much! Thank you for the continuous posts!
I hope you feel better soon and it’s really just a migraine. I’ve felt similar in the beginning of the Covid, major headache for 3 days, felt exhausted, then got slight fever and lost sense of smell and taste. That was in March. Now I know I have antibodies so it was the virus. Xx
Girl I hope you don't have the covid! The headaches and exhaustion are symptoms
You reckon we can just use the turmeric from the spice jar without the high price tag? like mix it into a bit of aloe vera gel or something...
I’m a migraine suffer too, made a whole playlist about things I’ve found that help. Just sharing in case it might help you or someone else watching 💜
First and foremost, I think you do a GREAT job Sophie and you have put yourself out for all of us over these last months especially. For those who were negative about your touching handrails, or your mask being down, they are free to stay home and seal themselves in hermetically. Some of the rest of us, however, are out there with a smile and cheerful talk as it is great to see smiling faces and actually interact with someone who looks human rather than looking like a bank robber. FACT: Over a million people a year die from Tuberculosis and it is spread through the air. Why have we not worn masks all these years? The C-virus has killed less than the yearly flu and is spread by touch... so WHY are we wearing masks? As you can tell, I take 'orders' with a grain of salt and being an American (I guess that's my excuse) I don't like to be fenced in (or told what I can do). SOOO... if you don't want to re-breath your CO2 (the toxins your body is trying to expel when you breath out), then skip the mask and dare to smile at the world. Leave dear, sweet Sophie alone and let her do what she wants, how she wants... and just appreciate that she is taking her time to interact with us even when she doesn't feel well. Great to see your smiling face and to see you out and about again.... thanks for all you do!
Thank you for the video. It was epic! I am also nervous in shops. I need a new tripod and planned to go to the shops yesterday, but I ended up buying it on-line even though I have been saying I do not like online shopping. (I don't!) I did go to a cafe for a coffee, but I made very sure I chose a cafe with not many people in it. Everyone seems to be forgetting that the scourge is still out there! Have a fabulous week!
I went in yesterday. It was so dire. I’ll wait for life to go back to normal. It’s empty (which is not bad), but you can’t touch anything and all the sales assistants are totally anxious.
💯 you can be worried but there’s a different between being panicky and scare clients off and being responsibly wary. I won’t go shopping any time soon. 😅 Hope all these shopping assistants will keep their job though 😬
Stéphanie Gmail yea, look, everyone is different and experiencing it differently. I’m in London, so my perspective will be different to someone living outside London.
I think retail will be hit hard, but who knows. Hopefully there will be job creation in other sectors, but realistically, there will be much higher unemployment and likely inflation and tax hikes.
Amelie good point. I mean I don’t mind it being empty as I hate how crowded it normally is, but it was the atmosphere that made it quite depressing.
I know what you mean: when our stores in Ontario, Canada, first opened, I was torn. I love shopping, no matter what it's for, but I knew it wouldn't be close to being the same experience, as to be expected. I decided though, as superficial as it may seem to many, it's something that used to bring me joy, so when I did go shopping for the first time, I was careful, wore a mask, etc., and decided to make the best of it. I did that because the past 3 months had been difficult, stressful, sometimes depressing, so I enjoyed those few hours out of the house. It was exactly what I needed to feel energized again to go back to homeschooling my 3 kids. And I didn't feel guilty one bit. ;)
It feels strange watching a shopping vlog after so long! I would love to see an updated shoe collection and review video from you xx
I am living vicariously through you!
Hello Sophie! I understand how you felt, I get this panic too. You look lovely and that Kenzo suits you🌞
I love all your videos, but your finance/life videos and these are my favourite - there was a mix of things in here which, to me, is your style only. And I just love seeing you open letters from people. I love the time when people used to write letters to each other, it seems so genuine and carefully thought-out, not to mention it actually takes time to do it, as opposed to a regular text message, which is meaningless at most times. 🌞
I felt that same kind of anxiety as you did when I visited a department store recently in the US. I hope it starts feeling less awkward after awhile, as I think these shopping protocols are going to be in place for a long time. The “new normal” is quite an adjustment!
I’m desperate to get to the shops but the thought of it just makes me want to stay at home. It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only person who finds going out stressful now.
I love the shopping vlog! All the "new" stuff at Dior are so nice! And your "deathly" and "sweaty" looks are so much better than my "good day" looks lol
I work in lab setting, where wearing the masks for a long time while doing physical tasks (even N95) is regular thing. So I also noticed you touching your masks a lot. When all this started, I had to keep on pointing this out to my family member. It's a normal thing to not want anything on your face, but if you must touch it to readjust, try not to touch the inside of the mask. There is only so much the hand sanitizers can kill. We'll all get used to talking to others with masks on, communicating through the muffled noises and repeating ourselves a few times.
I LOVED how you reached out for David in the beginning of the video. It just shows a glimpse of how much you guys love each other, and I love how he's apologizing for his camera work lol He's such a trooper for helping you out!
Everyone I know has been having these margarines including myself and I got really sick for almost a week and a half. Stay safe Sophie and please wear your mask the entire time for safety, bring some sanitizer as well. ❤️
I really enjoy your videos Sophie! Thank you for the wonderful content! You are an amazing person and I really love you and your channel❤❤❤❤
I love watching you from Los Angeles love. Your so refreshing to watch. Cheers. Xoxo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really love all your videos!! Thank u for posting ❤️
I so need some Sophie in my life today, thank you girl💞💞💞💞
Sophie please just ignore the “mask police” ppl 🤦🏼♀️. Thanks for taking us along. I think most of the world feels strange and weird, I too attempted to go shopping just to get out of the house and to my surprise I couldn’t get home fast enough! It’s so sad 😞. Regards to you and David from 🇨🇦
It's not 'mask police'. Now maybe she isn't that worried about catching that stupid virus
Angela Sowton The "mask police" as you call them are people that are worried about other people and want to make sure that as few people as possible need to die. How is it a bad thing to want a person they love to do the right thing and not help spread dead?
katt katt you needn’t worry about others, just worry about yourself
Emma Philomena ... and that is entirely up to her and not to anybody else
katt katt 🙄
