I’ve gone from a 16 to a 12 and my old stuff looks roomier but exactly as many of you have said, unless it’s jeans, you can usually just had a belt or embrace the baggier fit. I don’t have a lot of fast fashion as I don’t buy in that way anyway. Anyway, half the stuff she says is “hanging off her”, isn’t.
I really do like Lily, and I’m particularly liking her style at the moment, but honestly how many leopard print items does one person need?? As I said I do enjoy her style, but I really hate the consumerism of it all. I feel like her grungy style would lend itself to charity shopping and vintage items, yet she seems to be obsessed with buying new bits on ASOS everyday. How on Earth is she affording it while living in London?! How much can she really be earning? Honestly I have so many questions, but at the moment her job seems to just be posting ASOS affiliate links
I bumped into Lily in Brighton Primark a few years ago and I honestly didn’t recognise her at first. She has said that the illness/medication caused her weight fluctuation and I can believe that, and I feel sorry for her as that loss of control must have been awful.
She definitely comes across as a mean girl, I agree. That said, I wonder if that’s a prerequisite of being an influencer, manipulating your audience into thinking you are their pal. I’m not big into sharing my private life on SM, but no one expects me to because I’m not getting money from it unlike her.

Yup, she was one of the ones I've followed since my early 20s along with Leanne Woodful, Zoe London, Helen Anderz and she does give off that 'sweet' vibe but there's it is just a aff link after aff link. It must work for her to keep doing it but you don't make much from them. Like 1-15 percent per sale depends on brands. I know my friend made £200 from one weight loss supplement in one month and she's around 5k following so Lily could be raking it in.
I wonder if Asos just give her a gift voucher and that's why she's just buying sproadically? I know some smaller influencers say they get clothes from Asos for free and that's how (at least they are honest lol).
Totally, fair play to her if it works. I just feel it’s at odds with people becoming more conscious of the negatives of fast fashion. Don’t get me wrong, I do buy fast fashion, due to many reasons, but she seems to buy a lot. Where is she storing it
Does she wear any of it out of the house Came here because I fairly recently came across Lily’s page and liked her style etc.
However, and I’m getting that others are commenting on this, everything in her stories is affiliate link affiliate link affiliate link. Does she actually like any of this stuff?
Like, really. People don’t need it rammed down their throats right now. Someone else said it - read the room. So many are out of work or struggling financially. Give people style ideas that are affordable and attainable.
And the Depop thing. ‘Oh hey guys, when you’re done with my affiliate links, buy all the stuff I was probably given for free’.
Sorry for the rant but it’s been really bugging me.

I'm just concious of all the returns because I know MOST retailers throw
Yup I've noticed that anything that isn't current and won't make money from ISN'T linked. I don't know how old she is but I'm just 30, a single mum, OK my situation can't be helped and nobody's fault but I do not have the money to waste on fast fashion. Like every day. Some paydays are better than others but I love a second hand bargain. There are so many sustainable brands she could he working with. I won't pretend I don't order from Asos occasionally and won't pretend I'm Eco warrior princess and soz to sound super old but to order and spend so much during times like these it's irresponsible and potentially damaging to a younger audience who may feel included to use dangerous apps like Klarna.
She really has dropped stones. She was obese a couple of years ago, there are some pics of her at her heaviest on the GG page.
I think she only wears the clothes for content, and aff links then depops it. She needs a constant stream of new links. It's not really her personal wardrobe it is a work wardrobe. It would have been nice if she jad offered viewers to get one of those boohoo green dressed she had around 8 of. 8 happy viewers!Totally, fair play to her if it works.

Anyone worked out how much she has made off depop??
She's 30 too. This year. She looks young as she has a nice, easy life.

Looks like her mascara has flaked on her face...

For anyone who hasn’t seen it 
She’s absolutely buzzing off herself over it as well.

That eye make up is tragic 
I maybe a little bit get what she was going for. But it’s not good.
I also think she makes her cat eye liner WAY too long on the daily.

she needs to wind her neck in, it looks like absolute dog tit 
All her skin care stories today, yes it’s an ad but I feel like she’s trying to reinvent herself because skincare videos are popular right now. Why use a stupid filter when showing skincare?? I don’t get it
I mean, she’s far too late to reinvent herself as a skin care influencer, let’s be honest.
She’s using and recommending the Oskia Renaissance cleanser and the Caudalie Elixir? Even the products she’s using are outdated - these were popular five years ago! Obviously if products work then they continue to sell, but I feel like there are a billion cheaper versions of both of these with more modern active ingredients. Obviously she’s just touting anything she’s been gifted or has an affiliate for. Extremely lazy and transparent.
It’s like she refuses to move with the times and evolve her content. She seems really stubborn. It cannot be working that well for her?
I'm sick of her using those filters on her stories that change her face. Like those supermodel ones that change your jaw, cheekbone and eye shape. If you've paid to have work done anyway then just show you normal face?
