I think she should just give up on style or any sort of advice videos at this point, she admits she struggles with it so why would anyone look to her for inspiration? It will just be what she has copied from others. I guess that doesn't leave her with much to do though...

Pretty sure I’ve said this before… She’s not become a mouthpiece for anything specific over the years. Much like Anna, they fumbled, not really having a niche. Anna is trying to make fetch happen with her “minimal” style but she’s still a way off. Others found their corner. Jamie has Vieve, which appears to be doing very well. Fleur has jewellery, Tanya has/d Authored, Zoe dipped her chicken claw into multiple markets. Anna and Lily are incredibly average, which is why their brand has barely grown over the past decade.
 
What part of this saggy bunched up hideous green top makes it ‘excellent’? She literally said it pulls you in. I can’t see how since it’s hardly touching the skin.

It doesn’t fit right lily! Try a size down.

That vest! The cut, the colour, the size… she just gets everything so ridiculously wrong.

Which I used to find so disheartening - that someone with access to so much time, wealth and privilege could still duck up every. single. choice. Now I find it quite wonderful. All the gear no idea.

There is something so satisfying in working within the constraints of whatever your budget and time limitations and being able to dress in a way that makes you feel good. Learning about proportions, sizing, creating visual cohesion, how clothing talks so what would you like to say and how would you like to say it. Money undeniably helps but it ultimately can’t buy any of that and Lily has helped me realise it.
 
Lily is one of the least articulate influencers I've had the misfortune to listen to. She can't get a single coherent sentence out without multiple 'likes' and-y words. Why would anyone want to listen to that? I love a good podcast, but the person has to be able to speak. Neither Lily nor Anna can.

I could definitely see if Lily was actually good at her job how this fumbling 30-something with 2 kids, a new body and no idea could reel other women in by talking about style and lifestyle. But this would require her to admit that even though she finds herself in very privileged positions all of the time, she still has a tough time figuring out what works for her. She'd need to put her cReAtiVe ego aside and actually put some thought behind her content (no more of that stupid OG tit). She'd also have to be open to learning and trying new things.

THOSE bleeping JEANS. BURN THEM. Then get some 100% cotton Levi's or something. She needs to stay away from Elastane because all of her jeans end up looking like they've been worn every day for a year without being washed or aired out.

Elderflower cordial is quite nice actually and can be purchased in supermarkets and ikea but that’s maybe just me :)

No, you're right! It is nice! I'm just a brat and Lily haphazardly making what amounts to flavored sugar water and calling it content grinds my gears. Also 2 KILOS of sugar in that recipe! When I make lavender syrup (and my own simple syrup) it's 1:1 sugar and water.

I know it’s iust a tiny screenshot of a convo but the way she texts is so curt and obnoxious.

I know! She did this whole explanation of 'it's just how my family talks to each other' which tbh might explain a few things.
