“My family have asked what I want for Christmas so I’ve put together some images because I think my followers and I have similar taste”

No love, you’ve put together some images so you can get people to click on your aff links to help fund your Christmas shopping.

FFS - after all that drama over the wedding guest dress she wore something already in her wardrobe!!!

This what I HATE about influencer culture. They'll find any excuse to encourage you to "buy buy buy" because you clicking on their aff links earn them money. But they have no intention of keeping or wearing most of the stuff they're shilling to you.

Lauren did a FOUR PART content series on new clothes and then wore something she had already.

I would've respected her a lot more if she'd just done the "shop my wardrobe" reel because that's far more relatable and she has a shit ton of clothing already. I notice that the first (pink) dress in the shop my wardrobe video still has the tag in it, so she's never worn it out!

Also, the absolute gall of her to spend the entire week trying to bait people into buying new dresses and then post about going to the wedding in a dress she already owns with the hashtags #secondhandfashion #sustainablefashion

You don't get to spend an entire week encouraging over consumption and then jump on the sustainability bandwagon.

I think it all feels too performative now.

Plus the whole I'm poor business one minute, then the next she's going to New York, or buying £85 dresses, or £10 a time on Christmas baubles. It comes across as both stupid and insensitive. I think she probably has more money than a lot of people her age, but spends her money on that so feels poor. She would have been better approaching it from a position of discussing budgeting, and how to get better at that - which I think many people can relate to irrespective of income- than making out she's on the breadline one minute and spend spend spending the next!

It's so grating how one minute she has no money, the next she has bought a load more new clothes.

I also find it a bit irritating when she's always so exhausted by her life which is so busy and tiring. But she has no responsibilities - no children, no pets, no elderly relatives to care for. She literally only has herself and a small flat. And she works from home at least part of the time!

That kind of content is actually helpful!! We want to see how things honestly look, in the correct size we’d actually buy so it fits us properly, from all angles. I would love to see Lauren’s influencer career properly take off because she puts far more effort into creating thoughtful and good quality posts around her job than some full-time influencers

I think both things can be true at once - you can choose to be happy and content with where you’re at right now, while accepting that it’s not what you thought your life would look like, especially as you get older and the window to have children starts to narrow. Dating is horrendous and if that’s what you have to do to maybe possibly meet someone who wants the same things as you then I don’t blame her for making her solo life as fun and intentional as possible!

Does she realise that the results of her 10k steps and swapping take out for home made food, that includes greens, will result in weight loss and feeling 100x better?? I have a sneaky feeling this is the year she’ll lose a lot of weight (prob with jabs under the guise she’s ‘just’ walking more/eating better 🤪😈 )

Why is Lauren banging on about needing a dress for a wedding - hasn’t she bought 75 of those Abercrombie and Fitch dresses over the last few months? They are ideal for a wedding, jazzed up with some heels and accessories. It’s so wasteful and unecessary to buy yet another outfit.

My latest gripe with her is that I shared something with her via DM that I thought she would have a real giggle at. She didn’t even interact with my message - no reply, not even a like… but she read it and then posted what I had sent her to her story 😂. Maybe it’s just me being hurt over nothing but I thought that was really rude! That was my final straw so I unfollowed ha ha. X

I have gone off her lately too. She's still nicer watching than Laura and Lottie but I agree it all feels a bit staged at the moment. Shame. I do love her history obsession though.

Where is she meant to put her boobs? Just take them off and put them in the cupboard for the day? I know I find it really difficult to dress in a way that isn’t “flaunting” them that is still flattering to my body shape.

I agree she might be overcompensating for being single and plus-sized but honestly i would rather have Lauren’s life that a lot of the other fat influencers.

For all Lauren irritates me with the aff link spams, I do really like her enthusiasm on Instagram and I would be chuffed for her if she met someone next year. It seems unfair that moaning Minnies like Laura get to be married and sunshine energy people like Lauren are still single

I still like her and she is preferable to 90% of Instagrammers but she is coming across as a bit desperate lately. YES I’M ABSOLUTELY FINE BEING PLUS SIZED AND SINGLE THANK YOU VERY MUCH LOOK AT WHAT A GREAT TIME I’M HAVING

At least she is not going on about how your body changing over the years is fine. i mean, of course it is, she is absolutely correct, but she is the least convincing Bo-Po influencer out there. She would LOVE to be a size 12 again and no amount of screeching into the camera will convince us otherwise.

I wish she’d get on the jabs, I’m sick of the repetitive posts about how it’s ok to be fat (she’s happier! Definitely!! Honestly!!) ….and then shortly after, a post saying she’s really miserable and she’s been on a walk for her mental health lol.
