Ok, but WHY did as\is take down Kristen and Jens Mario party livestream?? It was my fave ladylike video I used to watch it whenever I was stressed and it would always make me laugh Edit: all the ladylike videos moved to as/is except that got taken down
As a UK based viewer and a former Londoner, I was really looking forward to this and finding some new hidden gem clothing options to check out, so I was so disappointed your choices were an overpriced, non-plus sized boutique and a super common chain store (I love Yours and it's a staple for my wardrobe, but it's the equivalent of filming in the US and going to Torrid - there was nothing exciting about it). Love you guys but this was such a miss.
The not so scientific anecdote isn't so relevant for the UK, because lots of clothing shops are on the high street rather than malls. In fact malls the entire country over contain almost exactly the same shops, and they're often the same as the US... Zara, H&M, TKmaxx, Urban Outfitters, Hollister... You get the idea. You really need to compare high street to get a picture of what clothing is available.
This oversight makes a lot of sense though because a traveller wouldnt neccesarily know where to look. Checking the shops on the high street is definitely local insight.
That's true however as a tourist you would also walk into stores to find out. Most clothes have the sizes for different countries. As a londoner who doesn't travel to central london, I do this often when I do visit.
Who is here after the reason why they left i feel so bad i dont wanna watch it knowing in between all the shots she had to sit down or she had a panic attack is sad and makes me not wanna watch😔✋
Yeah, nearly all the high street UK stores have a plus size range that go up to 24. However in terms of actual 'plus-size' shops I don't think theres that many.
It's a shame they didn't consult a Londoner for where to visit. There's so many better places that aren't made just for tourists Aw so many likes ❣️ I was mostly horrified by Ballies. Just tourists and it stinks of sweat and vomit, and she took a fancy coat there 😳 Nooo
I agree, but if I understand their approach correctly, they try to find places through their own research as much as possible. I think that is more realistic because most people who need to emergency shop in London probably won't have a local friend who they can ask for advice and help. For the purpose of illustrating the ease (or difficulty) of shopping for plus-sized body types in unfamiliar places, I think their approach makes the most sense.
I know they avoid big box stores like Target and Walmart but SO many UK stores like Topshop, River Island and Dorothy Perkins have really decent plus sized sections, especially the Oxford Street Topshop. I've lived in both the US and the UK and I think it's easier to get a plus size outfit in UK High Street stores than in the US.
I thought so too! I wear plus sizes on the bottom and I could name so many stores in London that don't necessarily brand themselves as plus sized, but carry excellent options. I guess what this highlights is that stores need to step it up with that kind of advertising. Plus sized options shouldn't be happy surprises as you're shopping with a smaller friend.
Emma H actually everyone left, they have a new channel all together, these were filmed at the end of last year but all of ladylike has left since filming this
I love the show but I feel this episode was a bit misleading because so many of the high Street stores have plus size clothing lines that go up to 20 at least. I get that you didn’t want to go to H&M type chain stores but saying that they were very little options is not the complete truth.
I think the point is if you jst lost your suitcase. Some ppl don’t want to spend a lot of money. If I just lost my suitcase I wanna find an outfit, but I’m not gonna spend over 50-70 depending on the geography for some clothes that are just to get me by. I think the point is if you just lost your suitcase here’s a place not really expensive has a decent selection and you can get buy until you get your suitcase
Exactly... The true tourist would just brave Oxford Street... And definitely find something. Pretty sure there's an Evans (plus size store) on Oxford Street too right?
hanzi31 I’m hoping that maybe there are filming restrictions in certain stores? But I feel there’s a little fabrication going on to make it seem harder than it actually is, especially since the lazy oaf store didn’t even seem to stock her size?
Girl needs to go to Asda supermarket they have a huge women’s clothing section that go up to size 26, I also love there clothes because they are all the same as the non plus size clothes just bigger where as places like yours are mostly animal and floral print
kcanded it’s great I nearly always do my clothes shopping there, I just don’t understand why most stores assume because ur plus suzed u can only wear animal print or giant flowers all over your body it drives me mad
I love how they go to Lazy Oaf like it’s accessibly priced to the average woman 😬 I love Lazy Oaf and own a few pieces that I had to save up for, but they are definitely not cheap.
I live in London and Im pretty sure those 7 stores are wrong. Lazy oaf is a tiny shop (and pretty expensive), I feel like that shop was just chosen because Kristen wanted nice expensive clothes. Places like asda even sell plus size clothing. Asda is everywhere. I have no idea where the "7 stores" came from. We have Oxford Street (which is really close to the lazy oaf shop) and has plenty of shops. I know they preface saying it's "not scientific" but it's just flat out wrong. I know London really well and this video is just jarring to watch and spreads false information.
funky fish that number is from 7(?) shopping centres so I’m guessing they found store lists for them and googled to see which stores sell plus size. So it wouldn’t include any supermarkets and would include lots of shops like top shop that don’t sell plus size. I agree I’d have expected it to be higher, but I know that lots of London stores don’t stock the plus size ranges available in the rest of the country and there are less Yours and Evans stores here than other parts of the country so idk maybe it’s not super inaccurate
There are more than seven Yours stores in London, and that's just one company! They have an office in London, not sure why they didn't collaborate with them on this. Everywhere else they've made an effort to find independent and environmentally friendly stores as well, locals definitely would have helped.
Kristen: we’re going to see how difficult it is to plus size shop here in London Lorraine: I’m the deputy manager of the Yours Clothing Bluewater branch Me: 🧐
I don’t love that you went to the first store that didn’t carry the larger sizes. Yes in a pinch figure people have to be creative but I think we need to vote with your dollars and support the stores that do carries a larger size
Primark is very environmentally friendly they have many programs supporting the people that make there clothes including offering education and health products to the women workers and they recycle every hanger and all card board
@@lizzielarkin6981 I don't agree with that statement, most of the arguments you just used are about how they (advertise that they) treat their workers and not the environment. Recycling is not a solve all problem, a lot plastic from the recycling bins still ends up in landfills over seas. nvm the enormous amounts of clothing fast fashion brands produce that people throw away due to bad quality or quick trends.
i love kitchen’s journey with pants! i’m so happy that she learned to love herself and feel more comfortable in her own skin. yay kitchen!! love ya darling
Pretty sure this show would be impossible in Asia (like japan, for example-most people there are quite small, I think). You guys should try it though, I’m curious!
Ouuuu those episodes would be interesting!! I was about US 16 at one point and shopping while travelling around Asia is very difficult, but not impossible!
In Japan maybe thrift stores with like old band shirts and oversized 90s clothes, or maybe in a bigger city like osaka, tokyo kyoto there might be a speciality store. But otherwise pretty much no chance, i guess.
I’m positive Primark on Oxford St carries plus sizes! The Tottenham Court Station one is massive. Going through charity shops and markets might’ve been fun as well! Gosh, I miss London.
Glad you came to visit, it think you noticed the general problem here in the uk, not just harder to find larger sizes, but also it feels that above a certain size that it all comes in limited style options (most often shapeless). If you ever try uk again it may be worth checking Collectif who max out at a UK22, but it’s often a generously sized 22.
Just curious, were you unable to get a second place that had your sizes? You picked a place they went up to size 16 and you had to hope they had oversized. If there were other options, why choose that place?
It’s oversize. If you bought your actual size it would look like you were wearing clothes a few sizes to big so it looks normal size if you buy it smaller
@@sharonshebangs3087 I thought she's a US 20 and UK 24. I mean her frame would suggest so, she does not look like a UK 20. But I'm also shocked that she fit into a UK 16, that's 4 sizes down. 🤷♀️
Even though during this video you were dressed for winter, the shops and restaurants are open and nobody is in quarantine, it seems some people still don't understand that this was filmed quite a while ago. Maybe a disclaimer at the beginning would have helped.
I love this series so much. I’m a plus size teenager who really want to travel in the future, and I’m OBSESSED with fashion. This is showing me that it’s gonna be difficult, but not impossible. Thank you so much Kristin (I’m so sorry if I spelt your name wrong 🥺) 💖
What a culture shock it was when we moved to the UK. The sizes were so different. I have history of eating disorders and it was a blow to need 16/18 uk
At the end of the day babes size is just a number dont let it define you. I've been through the phase where I got depressed because I had to be a size 16 but don't let a number ruin fashion or shopping for you. At 14 16 18 or 20 you're still gorgeous and hottt. Dont let the number define you 🥰🥰🥰
I love the day look. Super cute, everything I want and can't have. The night look is not my style, but it looks fun and fits the theme of the bar. Hope you do another season.
Naomi Brinton there’s only 11 in London (that’s within the M25) and none in what I’d describe as being central London but they’re definitely everywhere else!
Thank you SO MUCH for making this show! I once went to a tech conference and thought my bag was lost and was having a panic attack over it, and my colleagues were like, "it's OK, we can go to Target!" They just do not get it, and I didn't realize how much easier traveling is for straight sized people until that moment. I still push myself to travel because it's so important to see other ways of life and other worlds, but I'm kinder to myself about my plus-size panic and now pack 2 days worth of clothes in my carry on. It's easier to replace lotions and potions for sure ;)
I don’t think it matters, but Kristin is already married Although I think it would be a funny conversation. “Hey, husband. I’m going to be married to my friend for the entire week, is that ok?”
The best night dressed for all episodes IMO ❤️❤️ It' so fun and colorful, so different from another episodes 🌈 and Kristin really killing all kind of style and btw, Jen hair made her look so cute and cool at the same time, perfect👌
I'm from England and I'm shook at how few stores Kristin was able to find. It is so much easier in the Midlands and the North to find a larger range and we have a good selection of plus size only stores that only cater to 14 and above up to 28
Kira Easton yeah I’ve found that lots of stores here don’t stock the plus size ranges that are available on their out of London store. It’s very annoying
I’ve been excited for this London episode because I went to London semi-recently and I found that they ran a little small. I’m a size Medium and I had to get a size Large shirt and even that was a little snug..maybe it was the place I got it from. But anyways I was interested to see if Kristin would be able to find a lot but she definitely made it work. Great episode !
I wish they would do a wider variety of activities because for pretty much every episode recently the day activity has been 'go somewhere to eat' and the night activity has also been 'go somewhere to eat'. There has got to be way more to do in these cities besides going to fancy restaurants for both activities, especially in London which is full of things to see.

This. Surely there are more independent plus size stores to visit in London, instead of going to a shop that actually barely sells plus sizes?
I actually want them to try supermarkets and be surprised that there are plus sized clothes there lol.
Right?? The first thing that came to mind was collectif in Camden.
Agreed, I was pretty disappointed too. The UK is way more varied and exciting than this suggests.

whooo! say that.
I didn't love the second one but when she said where they were going it made sense. They tricked me walking out of the first store with little bags.
Her day outfit was definitely! Her night outfit was cute. I liked the coat and dress
Half of her style is yuck
The night outfit was such a mess...
I wasn’t digging any of the items from the first store.
It's definitely a special look. Not everyone is going to like it
Those two are just so different, that it's a perfect match of friends
Plus, who else loves this series
omg both outfits are AMAZING!!! my personal fave is the pink furry coat with the floral and best of all the rainbow ish sneakers. PERFECTION
Watching these now has me seeing them from a different perspective
Glad you came to visit, it think you noticed the general problem here in the uk, not just harder to find larger sizes, but also it feels that above a certain size that it all comes in limited style options (most often shapeless). If you ever try uk again it may be worth checking Collectif who max out at a UK22, but it’s often a generously sized 22.
Just curious, were you unable to get a second place that had your sizes? You picked a place they went up to size 16 and you had to hope they had oversized. If there were other options, why choose that place?
Wait... so she’s a 20, she flies to London and suddenly fits in a US12? What kind of witchcraft is this?!
A 20 is a US 16
Lazy Oaf has extremely oversized designs. A lot of their stuff is like a super baggy onesize
It’s oversize. If you bought your actual size it would look like you were wearing clothes a few sizes to big so it looks normal size if you buy it smaller
there’s less overweight women here so the sizing is kinda messed up
@@sharonshebangs3087 I thought she's a US 20 and UK 24. I mean her frame would suggest so, she does not look like a UK 20. But I'm also shocked that she fit into a UK 16, that's 4 sizes down. 🤷♀️
Even though during this video you were dressed for winter, the shops and restaurants are open and nobody is in quarantine, it seems some people still don't understand that this was filmed quite a while ago.
Maybe a disclaimer at the beginning would have helped.
I love this series so much. I’m a plus size teenager who really want to travel in the future, and I’m OBSESSED with fashion. This is showing me that it’s gonna be difficult, but not impossible. Thank you so much Kristin (I’m so sorry if I spelt your name wrong 🥺) 💖
aw yes more stuff to make us sad we can't go anywhere
lol
edit: thanks for so many likes
I love how some of this was filmed in Bluewater, just a few minutes from where I live! Was really hoping this series would go to London ❤️
What a culture shock it was when we moved to the UK. The sizes were so different. I have history of eating disorders and it was a blow to need 16/18 uk
At the end of the day babes size is just a number dont let it define you. I've been through the phase where I got depressed because I had to be a size 16 but don't let a number ruin fashion or shopping for you. At 14 16 18 or 20 you're still gorgeous and hottt. Dont let the number define you 🥰🥰🥰
@@nonnamansour3453 wow that is one of the nicest most positive things I think anyone has ever said on social media. Thank you 🤟
I sound like a grandmother but people need to be nicer to each other theres enough hate as is 😂😂❤❤❤
The day look is SOOO CUTE. This is my favorite day look out of all the episodes so far!!
I literally have that exact yellow belt (and and orange one too) from YOURS. Got it last year.
the dog sweater with the plaid skirt was such an unexpected combo but i absolutely adore it
Oh good, Kristin finally remembered to wear a jacket
I love the day look. Super cute, everything I want and can't have. The night look is not my style, but it looks fun and fits the theme of the bar.
Hope you do another season.
As much as there aren’t very many plus sized stores, there is literally a Yours store EVERYWHERE in England
Naomi Brinton there’s only 11 in London (that’s within the M25) and none in what I’d describe as being central London but they’re definitely everywhere else!
Kirstin is so adorable!! I love her personality and style. I was so impressed with what she put together!!!
When you shouted “I love these pants” in England pants are underwear,we call them trousers
I love Jen and Kristin. I truly wish there were more people like them in the world. Jen, you make my heart smile
“I feel like coats don’t need to close, they can be vests.” Kristen 2020
My wife just asked “isn’t that the lady that goes to places with no clothes” 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ yes babe, it is lol
OH MY GOSH I AM SO CLOSE TO LONDON, SO CLOSE BUT SO FAR🥺😭😭
“I know how my buttered is bread.” -Kristin, and something I’m going to adopt saying 🤣💚
Thank you SO MUCH for making this show! I once went to a tech conference and thought my bag was lost and was having a panic attack over it, and my colleagues were like, "it's OK, we can go to Target!" They just do not get it, and I didn't realize how much easier traveling is for straight sized people until that moment. I still push myself to travel because it's so important to see other ways of life and other worlds, but I'm kinder to myself about my plus-size panic and now pack 2 days worth of clothes in my carry on. It's easier to replace lotions and potions for sure ;)
I'm kinda obsessed with Jen's sweater from the first day and really wish I could know where I can get it.
They should do the "friends get married for a week" challenge together lol
I don’t think it matters, but Kristin is already married
Although I think it would be a funny conversation.
“Hey, husband. I’m going to be married to my friend for the entire week, is that ok?”
A very long time since they did that.
I think Jen & Kelsey (Darragh) were the last pair to do it.
If your looking for a wide range of clothes in the uk, go to primark because it’s goes to I think 4XL and it’s also really affordable.
it is so hard to watch this knowing how absolutely miserable they were
Whatttt they were tell me
@@brownbop5617 I know this comment was a month ago, but if you go to their channel kitchen and born they have a video about why they left BuzzFeed
@@lydia6035 oh thank you!!!
@@brownbop5617 You're welcome 😁
@@brownbop5617 also is kitchen and jorn not born, sorry lol
Totally different styles and personalities, but still the perfect pair. Love Jen and Kristen together!
The reason there aren’t many plus size shops is because on average the UK population is alot thinner than the US (no offence)
While it's true that Americans on average are fat, Brits are the fattest people in Europe. So....
🙄🙄🙄Sure, honey.
Becca Smith that true
janoskilm have you been here? No, so stfu
And also, most shops do plus size clothes so we don't need whole separate shops just for plus size people
The best night dressed for all episodes IMO ❤️❤️ It' so fun and colorful, so different from another episodes 🌈 and Kristin really killing all kind of style
and btw, Jen hair made her look so cute and cool at the same time, perfect👌
I feel like jazmyn would’ve LOVED the first store 😍
Jen just gives off such a good vibe and makes me laugh I really love when she’s in videos 😊
The clothes she tried on at the first store were absolutely horrible. I can’t believe she would say they were cute.
I like the purple jacket with black hearts. Everyone’s style is different.
I'm from England and I'm shook at how few stores Kristin was able to find. It is so much easier in the Midlands and the North to find a larger range and we have a good selection of plus size only stores that only cater to 14 and above up to 28
Kira Easton yeah I’ve found that lots of stores here don’t stock the plus size ranges that are available on their out of London store. It’s very annoying
I love Kristen’s obsession with buying coats but never wearing said coats when she travels 😂
I’ve been excited for this London episode because I went to London semi-recently and I found that they ran a little small. I’m a size Medium and I had to get a size Large shirt and even that was a little snug..maybe it was the place I got it from. But anyways I was interested to see if Kristin would be able to find a lot but she definitely made it work. Great episode !
Day outfit screamed gossip girl and I loved it
Exactly what I thought 😂 looks like something Blair would wear haha
I *LOVE* Kristen and Jen's dynamic together. By far they're my favorite.
Kristen: “I know where my butter is breaded” 😂
Mourning the lilac dress! It was so perfect for the coat and very shoreditch!
When I see London in the media: I wanna go to London I haven't been for a while
When I'm in London: imma get back on the train now
I wish they would do a wider variety of activities because for pretty much every episode recently the day activity has been 'go somewhere to eat' and the night activity has also been 'go somewhere to eat'. There has got to be way more to do in these cities besides going to fancy restaurants for both activities, especially in London which is full of things to see.
Lmao as someone who lives in london your level of tourist stereotype is so high
So true😂
As a french person, I find more plus size options in UK brands like Collectif, Joanie, etc. I love this series, it's great!
