Freddy My Love #2 Mean girl in sheep’s clothing

The problem with Freddy is that she is so lazy that she doesn't bother to educate herself on her job and this is what frustrates me.

Nowadays the trend is for fashion content creators to focus more on sustainable and ethically conscious brands and to focus on the actual material on the product. They actually spend time and effort researching brands and seeing what is worth buying and what's not.

However this is too much work for princess Freddy. She'd rather buy tons of clothes from fast fashion industries and return the whole lot and keep contributing to climate change so she can have her haul videos generate revenue for her. She's so shallow that most of the clothes she likes are described as pretty and feel so nice and that's it. Sometimes she'll state they are "So Freddy"... as if this gives them added value. She never speaks of the composition of the material and if they are versatile items that can be incorporated in your wardrobe or how they fit according to body shape or even how you can wear them in everyday life rather than in your parents' attic.

When she does clearouts she'll often state how a jumper was itchy, a dress was too low cut and that the fit was uncomfortable after spending weeks shilling the same products. I find it quite disingenuous. I cannot fathom how she keeps shilling brands such as Topshop and River Island who have really bad quality items which look and feel cheap. I'm all for having different price points but some brands are just not worth it and you'll probably end up having to throw those items away after a season due to the poor quality. I wish she'd educate herself more since several fast fashion brands have sustainable lines at an affordable price point, such as H&M and Zara, but I am guessing these brands do not sponsor her.

Furthermore I felt she was quite cheeky in her last video. After bragging she's a saver and trying not to spend on her renovations she has no qualms on getting a new designer bag and shoes (obviously gifted) but how can a content creator complain about the cost of paint and then promote an expensive designer bag in the next video. She also complains how she didn't really like another gifted designer bag and how she's going to try to sell it so she can buy (I'm guessing) yet another bag.

Has she not heard the phrase ‘pink and green should never be seen’?

Ok as someone who works in the fashion industry, I have to share something that peeves me to NO end. Freddy has absolutely ZERO sense of fashion, brands, and the politics of the fashion industry. Anyone with a tiny inkling of sense knows that Dolce and Gabbana have been racist trash for years, and were majorly cancelled in 2018 after yet another racist campaign. Freddy continues to buy and pitch their bags and belts, despite the gross offenses they’ve caused to their customers, workers, and producers. The fact that someone’s job can be “fashion influencer” but she doesn’t know two sh*ts about what’s going on in the industry is appalling. She’s so incredibly dense. Every time I see those tacky D&G Sicily bags or the belt I get triggered on behalf of my fellow Asian people everywhere. Read the d*mn news, Freddy.

Thank you so much for this I feel like you have hit the nail on the head. I’ve just watched her spring haul there is nothing fashionable about her, she just decided one day she’s a fashion YouTuber but she really isn’t she just shops and try’s on clothes she thinks go together. She hasn’t got a clue, if it’s from far fetch and it costs £450 then it’s “sublime, cool, a staple” all that boring crap. It’s literally a white dress you could find in H&M it’s bizarre and it’s the same clothes just from new seasons in different colours very repetitive, very boring and not at all trend led or fashionable. And I agree she doesn’t have a clue what’s going on in the industry!

Today’s video really annoyed me when she started speaking about ‘skinny jeans’ saying they are now dated. Really hate how she seems to deem her judgement and fashion choices as the only way that’s right. Just thought it was a bit rude!

For once I found it funny she’s going with the trends.. for some reason there’s a big thing between the coOool hip modern kids vs millennials.. side parts and skinny jeans are out big time, it’s all over TikTok

Okay it's good Freddy is (semi) transparent about the stuff she gets gifted.. however it's pretty insane how much it is! It sometimes looks like she's getting free stuff delivered every day

Honestly,

I don't see where she is going with her career. She hasn't grown/changed her content to evovle with the times one bit. She is still stuck doing the same shit she always has and its getting SO OLD and boring. I don't really think she is fashionable or has a good sense of style, because fashion is about evolving and trying new things while staying true to your style.

Also in terms of her content. her youtube is dying and she can hardly garner even half the views she could. Her Instagram is tragic - i mean imagine the brattyness and privilege where you refuse to try and produce content or shoot anything while you are stuck at home? How can someone be that stubborn and set in their ways? A grown 26 year old cannot adapt to a fucking global pandemic that affected the entire world? Every single other content creator has been pushing out reels, creative posts, showcasing what brands are doing, sharing relevant info about brands and their ethos - and its ALWAYS crickets from freddy's side. Forget being woke, and aware of the atrocities going on in the world and educating yourself, she doesn't even do her own job.

Even her home content is so inconsistent and she only posts stories on that account occasionally and a fortnightly vlog. After the reno will be done, that content will stop too. She can't evolve into a lifestyle vlogger bc that would involve her actually doing shit other than laying in bed, pouting, going to the gym and prancing about in ugly clothes that do not align with any fashion standards.

This grinds my gears so much. Someone should tell bratty Freddy that skinnies are not 'dated'. Its been around for a long time, the same way white shirts have been. Skinnies are not a trend, its a staple piece. You'd think she would know that since she's a fAsHiOn influencer. The only reason she's salty about it is because she hates the way skinnies clings onto her bottom half. Heck, some of the things that she wears are dated
