anna edit : Most liked Posts

Prediction: "Hey guys, logging off for Easter to spend time with my lads and finally relax and get some time off for the first time in yonks! Link in stories for my affiliate easter bunnies moment that's a bit of me. Sending all the good vibes!"

The more we see of Mark, the more I dislike Anna through association.

mark looks like he smells of vegetable stock

I love when the skinny b’s get pregnant, can’t fit into their normal clothes then get all surprised and say pregnancy clothes aren’t “size inclusive”. They get a tummy for 9 months and then get up on their soap boxes...what about the rest of us that are sized out of most places WHEN WE’RE NOT EVEN PREGNANT. One, you don’t need a new entire wardrobe during your pregnancy and two I’m sure Lily’s already planting the ear worm that Anna might not bounce back (based on Lily’s own experience) and she won’t just be able to get her style back (again based on Lily’s own experience) because Lily is that shit friend.

Fuck her and her 4 sizes larger $200 jeans.

Lol at 3 mins she says " Did you guys hear that? That's Mark heading to the dump. Is she in awe of that? So what, Anna so what?? He is not a hero.

I read your post as "that's Mark heading for a dump" and thought alright Anna, that's not something you can boast about your husband doing well, stop it!

I'm absolutely baffled as to why she hasn't corrected saying karma had been good to them re conception.

I'm 100% sure she forgot the concept of karma/used the wrong expression, or used it in the wrong way, but surely someone has pointed this out to her and is worth a correction?

Karma is quite literally the concept of doing good deeds, and therefore being more likely to receive good deeds/luck back in return, whether directly (e.g. being nice to strangers would make it more likely that another stranger will be nice to you, as you are personally contributing to the quality of stranger interaction) or indirectly (you help an old lady cross the road, and then 5 minutes later you find a fiver on the floor).
There is no other way her sentence could be interpreted other than "our luck here is related to all the good deeds we've done". The expression she was looking for was "luck has been on our side", "the universe/gods have been kind to us". We all use expressions wrong all the time, but should correct ourselves if we are accidentally harmful.

ALSO, people usually talk about karma when specifically mentioning the good deed they did, not the consequence alone, which is even more odd. Usually it's "I did X good thing, hopefully that will bring me good karma" or "I found a fiver on the floor the other day, may have been good karma from helping that old lady cross the road". Not "this good thing happened to us, must be all that good karma we've been storing up from being such great human beings!" as claiming you deserve good karma without a particular example is a bit boastful imo.

Anna’s become that girl who doesn’t have a personality anymore and she can’t get through more then one min without mentioning she has a hubby and his name is Mark. Her and Lily both married the first guys they met at uni and it’s easy to tell they haven’t grown up.

What is this title
Sounds like one of Tattle thread parody titles. Bloody hell she's cringe.

The Edit Edit. An Edit Moment. A shedload of Edits.

*giggle*

Anna’s issue is she’s trying to be relatable and aspirational at the same time and failing at both. She knows a huge pivot towards high end fashion, moody pics, aesthetic vibes would alienate her audience so she throws in the occasional “it’s not all perfect!” “Babies am I right?!” but it just makes her look…odd?

I find the complete lack of personal life on her page so bizarre. Ive followed her for years, since the London flat, and she was so much warmer. Now she’s cold (literally in her huge house and beige outfits, metaphorically in her content)

Except it DOES have pockets, she's just an idiot and clearly hasn't unstitched them yet....

Hi everyone, I'm 5'8! So I just took the time to count how many capsule warderobe videos Anna has on her channel, and excluding the make- up capsule ones and the one where she fixes Lily's warderobe, I counted 53(!) so in other words, if people feel like they have seen it before, it is because they have...over 50 times (I'm in lockdown okay, I do have a lot of time on my hands haha).

I am glad my title won but I am also pretty sure I just rephrased someone's comment Thanks anyway.

Meanwhile, my eyes are still recovering after seeing this... I do worry they will never recover.

Mark is here for a milking moment

Her content sucks because Mark left his real job. They have lost their only attachment to the real world. It was normal for a while but over time, without anything grounding them, they got sucked into the lazy AF influencer work culture

“But no, mother” said the vehicle-obsessed Little Man, “I do not care for jumpers with diggers or fire engines, or for dino-print joggers. I long for the oatmeal knit and charcoal linen ensemble.”

Same... Wait until August, she will be 'my milk jug is full'

If she refers to her boobs as milk jugs already, I don’t even want to think about all the qUirKyY language she’s going to use in the inevitable breastfeeding podcast episode *gigglegiggle*. “Oh my word Lily, like, my milk jugs had a serious leaking moment and I’m not here for it. Like, Prince Mark Jr. was NOT docked on properly at the milk bar, and like then there is a good ol’ spilling situation, like, oh my word. But thankfully Mawk sr. was right next to me and caught it with his mouth, oh my word!”
(Sorry, I just made myself a bit sick with that.)

And it happened! I just unsubscribed. Unfortunately I have to agree with everything that’s been said above. I’m new around here and I’m shocked why it took me this long to realise how she was fooling everyone. About today’s video… There’s no organisation when it comes to filming and uploading videos which is extremely annoying and confusing. She said she filmed a picnic Netaporter video yesterday and another video will go out tomorrow and I thought she means tomorrow real time but NO she meant tomorrow last week?! Doesn’t make any sense and just shows how unprofessional they both are. Allana was doing everyday May and that never happened. She was actually recording and uploading every day but fresh content not videos prerecorded weeks before. Such a shame. A was a follower for so long but it’s time to say goodbye!

The thing with Nanna and Lily since they're basically twins at this point and something MANY successful ppl would rather die than every say it outloud is the biggest factor that played into them earning their ridic income comes down to luck.

Don't get me wrong, they clearly put some effort esp at the beginning but they got lucky that they were thin/white/good looking and young (a key ingredient), that they each had a supportive structure (via partner or parents) where they could focus on launching their business full-time (a key ingredient) in a field with little competition at the time (another key ingredient) with only three sm platforms at the time (IG, FB and YT) that soon skyrocketed. They've both said previously they could never have foreseen them making this much money (excuse me they said they could never have imagined being as "successful" - which is a euphemism for money) and I agree. This is the key ingredient that is vital to success and its luck.

This is why both of them esp Nanna are currently floundering. I don't think there is anything they can do to rectify the ship so to speak b/c what worked when they started won't work now. The market is now oversaturated with influencers and there are a plethora of different platforms for consumers to choose from and ordinary/bland middle class isn't going to cut it anymore where there are literally hundreds that fit that description who are younger/better looking/funnier/wittier/smarter/cooler/etc. Nanna and Lily's TikTok following shows there's no way they could become influencers and make the money they make now.

My theory is I think Anna see's that she can't grow and correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Lily and Anna mentioned in one of their last podcasts they like their audience and the size it is and aren't looking to grow? I think both of them are using this time to test just how much crap/lazy/lacklustre content they can churn out and keep their audience and grudgingly I (and ppl on here) have to accept that they have. Yes they've lost followers but it isn't like they've lost 20k followers in a year for it to hit their wallets. But as long as they put something out and reply to the "nice fans" to keep them hooked they're good. I do think their followers are addicted to their parasocial relationship with them and that's why they'll consume anything and everything they put it out no matter how awful b/c why else would they stay around?

Gleam is literally useless and part of me thinks they use Gleam more as a warehouse to store their PR, do editing for their podcast and to sporadically brainstorm with them but Gleam is just as bad as those two are. Who on Gleam's roster is actually thriving and growing their audience? No one, they are becoming an outdated relic simultaneously as everyone on their roster.

tl;dr Nanna and Lily got lucky and their luck is slowly waning and the decline is slow and steady but there really isn't anything they can do about it.

I do genuinely wonder who these women's fans are now. I'd followed Anna, Lily and literally a *couple* of these other influencers since about 2010. Never paid much attention to the YouTubers (Zoella etc) as I always found their content super patronising and vapid, but at least the bloggers would write articles and share recommendations which made my weekly trips to Boots more interesting when I found one of the lipsticks they were gushing about. I enjoyed their fashion, and although the Whistles stuff was slightly out of my budget at this point, I still stretched to afford a few pieces so I could feel like I was a successful, London based young woman (lol) even though I was earning £21k in a shit PR job.

I remember always being annoyed with the amount of stuff they were gifted - which they never disclosed, so I couldn't understand how they could afford such nice stuff. This was before the huge number of ads started coming, but I accepted that as they were "full time bloggers" they were trying to make a go of it and it was part of the deal for the content I enjoyed. I think I gave up on Lily around 2018, around about the time she started complaining about everything and not acknowledging the incredible amount of privilege she had. Anna lasted slightly longer with me, to the point I actually attended one of her book events, but shortly after that, in about 2019, I lost my patience with her as she just suddenly struck me as fake. I don't know what it was, maybe I was angry she never replied (or even read) a single message I sent her, but having followed her for years and enjoying the fashion content, I realised her opinions WERE being bought by whoever she was working for. One time she recommended a £150 Steamery steamer which I saved up to buy and it was the most expensive piece of crap I've ever used - it was useless. A couple of months later and there she was using a Phillips steamer and saying that she even took it on holiday with her she loved it that much - the Steamery she'd *loved* was never seen again.

I don't know who still follow these women and why. I don't know why more of us haven't woken up to influencer culture - these women honestly have nothing thoughtful to bring to the conversation and their ethics are incredibly questionable. The only woman I've seen who is an original blogger and still worth following is Kristabel Plummer. She's intelligent, thoughtful, personable, fashionable and kind and HAS OPINIONS. We're 30+ year old women now. I'm the same age as Anna. Anna and Lily's fans must love an echo chamber if they can stand to follow these two any longer and I think they should look really closely at themselves for why they still blindly follow women doing absolutely nothing of value in the world.

I still work in PR, but I've always been embarrassed of telling others about "there's this girl I follow" or "this influencer I like". It's always been so cringe to admit you follow a stranger on social media in a one-sided relationship where the other person doesn't even know you exist. Yikes.
