Doesn’t surprise me in her stories that she thought Travis’s friend was Travis. 🙃
Arielle posting more wedding content when we all know the debt subplot now. “Three cakes because why not?” Because debt bebegirl, because debt.
It has been zero days since Steffy has posted pictures of herself pregnant.
Stay tuned for updates.
I'm still in awe of my pregnant body two years later so I totally get the urge to share photos all the time. It's quite an amazing journey.
...it's literally mother's day
Not all over the world!
Honestly, I forgot this American holiday, but she truly does post these photos several times a week.
It’s not a solely American holiday. It’s Mother’s Day in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, etc today as well. Millions upon millions of people are celebrating today lol
ETA the photo she shared of her in the hospital, she literally wrote “in honor of Mother’s Day.” You didn’t need to do any work to understand what day it is and why she’s sharing these photos today lmao
Million of people do not celebrate mother's day today as well (in Europe I guess). People can make mistake, let's keep it cool
It literally said “Mother’s Day” on the photo. It’s a lazy mistake to snark on a photo when it’s all down to one’s own ignorance.
It’s also Mother’s Day today in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Greece, Iceland, and Switzerland
Jeez I was just saying cool down
I’m being totally cool. Thanks for the concern on someone else’s behalf.

So Rachel brought ALL of those outfits to Paris for the concert with the intention of wearing exactly ONE of them? She couldn't make that decision before she lugged 50 pounds of tulle across the ocean?
I would guess that she knows exactly what she’s wearing but brings all that extra crap to make more content. She wants to go viral - especially viral for Taylor content - so badly
The carbon footprint this girl has is not even funny.
This post did not prepare me for the amount of tulle
Those cheap little butterflies look so bad on every outfit.
And BEC but butterflies are Olivia Rodrigo’s thing, and the she and Taylor don’t see to speak anymore so it was a weird add here (from a swiftie haha)
Butterflies are also a TS thing (especially Lover era) and many other swifties added some to their outfit…
Rach sneaking a bridal outfit into the possible eras tour looks is certainly a vibe.
It's funny because they're all Taylor eras except for that one which most definitely is not lol
Unless of course we are supposed to think of Leo as Matty Healy... interesting
The vibe being ✨deranged✨
Who tf is taking these couples video in Paris?
The tripod awkwardly standing in front of them.
Oh snap Jags frog purse on her posh!
I genuinely like the frog purse, but I enjoy dumb novelty designer items. Posh is not the place to sell that purse for $700.
Oh same! I just find it comical how she’s been throwing this thing around all over her stories highlighting it, then puts on Poshmark… Ha
I agree! I feel like she was influenced by Joel & his pigeon, except that designer items are actual part of his personal style.
Of course “only worn twice”
Anyone notice Jag wore that ill fitting dress out the other night but she was wearing it correctly? Why did she have it so ill fitting in her reel 😭 I believe someone posted a screenshot in the comments
let’s bring back # frenchfriday
She forgot most of her French. I bet you
I can't articulate it but Rach and Leo's lovey dovey content does not give me the warm fuzzies at all, quite the opposite, whereas Noelle's does. I want more for Rach, I think Leo is just so... performative?

That's why they are perfect to eachother
This is exactly it!
It's giving ✨️Narcissism✨️
SO is Rachel going to look at more wedding venues this trip or no?
She did say she was going back to France to look at venues this spring so this tracks, but if she leaves without looking at venues it is proof that the bride era is not bride-ing at all (unless the French wedding plan was scrapped)
I get that couples are on their own timeline, but it seems super weird to me that they have done little to no planning at all.
I feel like it’s even more odd because she’s made such a big deal about the engagement so logically you’d think the next step would be wedding planning, right?
For sure -- like on one hand I get it, I'm getting married this year, and early on I hated all the prying questions. But for Rachel it's been like two years now(?) and it's not like she's been particularly private about her relationship and engagement (except when Leo was in hiding).
I don't think it's crazy or overstepping to think the people who follow her would eventually start wondering what's going on and the complete avoidance is just so odd. And I just want to see more French villas lmao
The awful realization I just had - we’re almost definitely getting “2 years ago on this day” engagement-versary content shoved down our throats the entire month of August
I hope she and Leo both start saying ~UNMARRIED~ this time
I think she would LOVE to talk about wedding planning bc it’s an entire different stream of content just like her engagement was. So that’s why I feel like something is off, but IMO I don’t really see them getting married so…
Rachel’s nails are once again so grown out and look absolutely atrocious. Not very ~french girlie~ of her
Need to ice my neck from the whiplash I just got switching from PLF’s Paris content to Rach’s
lmao
Okay, I did chuckle at who's afraid of a little blue cheese.
The cheese to bread ratio omg
Honestly, my kind of ratio😂 carbs are just a lovely vehicle for cheese imo
Her giggle after is so cringe though

Our girlie goes to the same 3 spots in Paris every. Single. Time.
I’m starting to think she’s never been anywhere else in Paris beyond those spots…
I can’t with these spots anymore. It seems she always spends her at the same places again and again again. Paris is not only the Eiffel tower shining at night and small coffee places near the Eiffel tower… She’s so boring.
When I start fondly thinking back on her Christmastime trip to Alsace in the Gerry era (oh, those halcyon days!), I know I've been consuming her content for way too long.
omggg Gerry era!!! Wow we’ve really been through it, haven’t we??
Why does Arielle hold the phone so close to her face in stories?! Her skin looks good though lol
Another trip to Paris means another set of pictures underneath that bridge. You know the one.
And of course with a selkie dress !
Before she tries to twirl and make out with a troll under a bridge, we must first get 50 throwback pictures 🙄
Which means we’ll also get Noelle’s repost of Rach’s throwback stories of the surprise bridge engagement 😵💫
Rachel’s life is so privileged. Just getting invited to a T-Swift concert and jetting off to Paris with her fiancé. Not gonna lie, I’m jealous.

I wouldn't be that excited if I was betrothed to a racist man who plays dress up in prince clothes and spends his day looking at himself in the gym mirror.
I feel sorta underwhelmed by Rach getting invited to see T. Swift, given she has seen her 5 million times already and already did this Paris trip???
It's not like her content is any different when she goes someplace new (twirling, etc.), so she might as well play the hits. At least there's more to snark on whenever Leo is in tow.
I have so many French friends that could no get tickets or that got scammed… it’s harsh. And I’m pretty sure she will attend shows during the next US leg 🙄🙄
I just don’t really understand seeing her in concert this much tbh but it tracks with Rach doing everything in excess and beating it into the ground

tbh I feel like many swifties are sort of deranged over her and have to prove they are the biggest fan or something
Oh it’s a lot more than “many”, it’s why her fans in general have the reputation of being some of the most unhinged people. And because if you don’t like her music, just because it’s not for you, they accuse you of hating women. Couldn’t possibly be because it’s just not your taste NO. YOU HATE WOMEN.
Downvotes track with bruised Swiftie egos
They can keep their beige Queen
What's Rachel doing this weekend? Wrong answers only 😂
Setting a wedding date
Finding someone who can’t lift her.
Buying more workout swag
Fixing her nails
Wearing a size M that runs TTS
Getting married
Not body checking.
Can someone who knows more about makeup than me tell me what they’d do in Arielles shoes? Her face and neck look clownish contrasted with the rest of her skin - but she says that “looks good” … what would actually look good??
Her makeup and style are very dated!! I find it alarming that she started an entire makeup account when she does not have the personality or skills to make it standout in a sea of makeup beauty influencers.
Lol I completely forgot about her makeup account
So did she.
She was significant sun damage to her skin and the contrast of heavy makeup with her freckled body just doesn’t look good. A lighter foundation (merit maybe) that lets her skin show would be good. Frankly she should spend less money on her make up and take care of her skin.
I feel like the issue is her foundation is too heavy and not quite the right shade. I’d probably use something much lighter coverage.
Agree! Foundation looks caked on. And the matte lipstick and drawn on eyebrows are dated. Everything is more natural now.
Rach, you make more than enough money to buy any record player but a suitcase Crosley.
(I know she's only doing it for the aesthetics, but still. 😭)
it's fine it's not like she's a real vinyl collector anyway. Her Taylor Swift Target collection isnt' exactly rare.
I love that someone commented about how that kind of record player can warp your vinyls and she basically replied that she’s only worried about “cute” 😣
It’s such a cunty response too with the upside down smiley lol typical Rach
pretty sure she got that record player and the vinyl for free from walmart as it’s a sponsored ad so she will likely never actually use it ever again. not even sure if she liked the album or if it was just to be on brand and because it drives up engagement. 🫡
Wait, can you give more info? I got a Crosley for Christmas, should I get a different one instead?
Turntables can be an investment but you’ll be glad for the upgrade! Even a cheaper model will give you much better sound than a “suitcase” style player. The AT-LP60X is a good one to start with! The folks over at r/turntables are really helpful!
Thank you!! I’ll check it out!
I’m sorry but Leo just comes across as so fuckin corny to me. 🫣 And the way Rachel gushes over him only makes it worse. She seems really into him and I guess the hallmarks of a stereotypically attractive guy are technically there but everything else about him just makes me physically recoil lol.
He is literally the worst! If you ever want to fall down that rabbit hole look up his Disney past and what he did to his ex before Rachel.
THIS! I remember watching it all go down. It was truly shocking when suddenly the cheesy narcissist in the Disney community that wanted to be Prince Eric somehow ended up with a NY influencer I followed. It’s been a wild ride to witness ever since.
Do you have a place where I can read his back story/ drama? I’m so curious lol
In very short summary, him and his ex did YouTube videos (Thingamavlogs) where he tried to become an influencer. He went on a sponsored Disney cruise and met Rachel. By accounts at the time, he was still with Sarah which is why it’s been called the cheating cruise. Leo went back to LA and there was a good month him and his ex were still pretending to be together online, posting a few stories. After all was said and done, his ex went on stories and spilled all the trauma she had dealt with including him leaving her dog home alone all day unfed and unwalked to cheat on her. I’m sure there’s probably better accounts on old threads here though accounting details better.
His ex confirmed recently they were already over when he met Rachel on the cruise, oddly enough. He still cheated on her a lot, but at least not with Rachel 😂
Oh wow! I totally missed that update so thanks for clarifying! Still a cheater but glad to hear it was just other girls and not Rachel. 😆
I dunno, corny is endearing and Leo is not endearing.
Oh wait until you see his old Disney adult stuff.
after all this time, how is steffy still so bad at syncing with reels audio?!
I keep asking myself - how does she have the most followers out of the gang?
“Good enough” is her motto
Perfection gives her the ick 😆
Yet didn’t she say somewhere she’s “type A” personality? Or am I dreaming?
maybe she’s type A committed to being ~qUiRky~
What’s the point of Rach blocking out the house number in her stories when it is literally on the posts in her feed 🤡
Two things, i.e. Noelle. 1. The color will be a shade of brown, and 2. Eating a snickers is not “vibes”, it’s just being a normal ass person.
We are never going to see 90% of this wrinkly haul Rach just showed ever again
did jag find a new Chris replacement?
Wearing size small, runs small.
I just want to know what she’s doing to look this tall in pics? We’re both the same height and the math isn’t mathing lol.
Idk her bod is seriously smokin right now, 10/10 no notes
No shade on her body, she totally looks banging. It's her constant size reminders.
I think you mean XS, actually. And it still runs small.
I’m so SMOL pick me up
You can’t take photos with this tiny influencer if you don’t! Low key Rach friendship requirement. I want to see her start lifting people. She should be strong enough now, right???
XXS TTS
Jag taking a play out of Rach's book and pretending to be living the single life while jumping into another relationship with a star wars loving bartender
They could be FWB
I dated several NYC bartenders when I was her age and I assure you they are all FWB no matter what they say to the contrary lol
I've said it before, Joel's home style is perfection except that living room. Susan is cute don't get me wrong but the scale and sizing in that room is just a mess all across the board and this painting hung way too high doesn't help!! Joel I know you can do better than this!
That horror movie gas station bathroom tile is pretty terrible, too.
Idk I’m obsessed with his bathroom
Ok….Jags possibly new man gets a little bit of points for being appalled at how much the stupid frog purse costs.
Still can't believe original price was nearly 1k. If someone showed me that frog and I didn't know it was a designer "purse" I would've guessed less than 50 dollars... She said she didn't pay a thousand, but even on sale it was probably something ridiculous.
I would’ve thought it was someone’s weird $10 thrift shop find 😂
She even said in her story "you can't really fit anything in it" 🤦🏻♀️ That's a lot of money for something that can only carry your lipstick, I don't get it 😂
Cannot believe how hard Steffy tried to be on Sephora squad. She is so bad at makeup 🥴
I think she’s pretty, but her makeup is SO comically messy it’s insane
That "comedy" reel felt more menacing than anything.
why did they have to bring the tree into it?!?! those blooms are so pretty, don’t shake them off!!!!
Leo is terrifying

Arielle posted a Thread that she is alone and abandoned while sharing a trip to London with Rachel?? Are they finally headed for Splitsville??
I wonder about her and her husband’s relationship when she posts like this or posts about how she’s in debt and has to borrow money from friends. Where is he???

i'm sorry but girl seems insufferable.
They’ve been back from London for a few weeks now, so it’s probably not directly related. But Arielle also mentioned a solo dinner in London, I wonder if Rachel ditched her for a bit on the trip to do something else…
Rachel said she wasn't feeling "so hot" one evening and stayed in the room and ordered Dishoom I think!
Ah that’s right, I do remember seeing that now you mention it!
It’s very vague Facebook post circa 2010
that is so dark when you juxtapose it with the happy go lucky London sponcon. Yikes.
Also her first post on Threads since September 😬
What in the ill fitting hell is this mess?
God she is such a try hard. If you have to keep hammering on about how ~different and ~unique you are, maybe you doth protest too much?
Jag is the member of the gang I know the least about but every time I see what she’s up to via this sub it’s.. weird. Feels like forced quirky vibes.
Jag is the only one of the gang I have ever followed! I liked her “goth lite” fashion circa… 2018? A lot of alt fashion bloggers dress way too out there for daily wear, so I liked Jag’s more everyday takes on grunge/goth/emo/etc.
But it feels like she’s trying hard to stay relevant to early 20-something’s even though she’s now in her mid thirties. So it’s coming off really cringe/cheugy.
Plus her dating life since breaking up with Chris has been wild 😅

A bartender that looks eerily similar to your ex that you make tons of cringe couples content with for your thousands of followers? Then disappear him off your page overnight and never mention it again? But a month later start introducing another random bartender?
Her caption (well a lot of them but this one in particular) feels written from the perspective of an 8th grader
Not Rach LEAVING LITERAL BIRD SHIT ON HER HEAD to post about it on social media in a video. Truly unhinged lmao.
she's so CrAzY!
It was one of the more entertaining pieces of content from this London trip!! Lol glad she gave us something 😹😹

Between Mr. Flip Flop and this new cosplay nerd bartender, I am really curious as to what long term issues she didn’t match up with Chris on that caused things to end. I know she didn’t want to go into details but it’s very evident at this point she’s just out there to date and have fun. (And good for her if that’s the case and she’s recognized what she wants!) It is just really really weird to keep introducing new guys to thousands of followers on the internet.
Idk how she does it. I’ve been single for awhile and can’t seem to get any man to like me back or take an interest. Maybe I should take a leaf out of her book and start perusing bars for Star Wars bartenders.
Unpopular opinion but I like this one! Idk something tells me he’s a good egg.
I agree, he doesn’t give me immediate rancid vibes like Jeff did. He also has good taste in comic books at the very least 😂
RAIN ROOM SHOOT WHEN 🤞🏼
Yeah I find it hilarious that when she did her AMA that she chose the question about being in an open relationship. WE KNOW YOU’RE A SERIAL MONOGAMIST. Just be single and fuck a bunch or random dudes. You are young, hot and live in the biggest city in the world. There has to be a better way!
I really wish the girl would just breathe for a minute and enjoy a real healing girl era without a scraggly emo man
I love Jag so much but she needs to maybe stop dating bartenders. Girl trust me!
it’s just like… she could do SO MUCH BETTER. she is so pretty! she has great style in her apartment and clothes (most of the time)! she has an established career and takes care of two dogs!!! whyyyyyyy is she picking these guys that still tape posters to their walls and live in mom’s basement!!!!!
i hope x1000 she realizes these are man-children and is just having a good time. it’s so easy not to make a commitment with someone immature, right girl? right??? 🤞
It feels like she is trying to find a new Chris (nerdy emo creative guy), but instead keeps going after nerd bro bartenders. Just because they like Star Wars does not mean they are dating material 😭
Poor Arielle at the spa
