I don’t think one can really ‘trust’ an influencer. I mean they get paid don’t they? It’s basically consuming constant marketing. By all means we can check out their suggestions if it suits our budget and lifestyle—but trust them ?
Which influencers do you really trust recommendations from?

I only watch one influencer, about every 2 months : Colorful Noir.
I share her tastes in accessories and she gives wise financial advice.
Which seems rather uncommon when I see the video suggestions on youtube.
However, the less you purchase the less topics you have for your channel.

Hi Lady Sarah… I hope this helps
I understand your point of view; and, I am sure it’s grounded in your experience; however as an influencer for the past 2 years I have NOT & will NOT lie… my integrity, my Brand and remaining authentic to my Tribe is important to me.
My niche is luxury Fragrance & a little Beauty and I make it clear if a post is Affiliated, collaborative sponsorship & if I make a commission off sales.
Of course, I can only speak for myself r/t “Payments” I don’t always get paid for my recommendations & reviews. In fact I purchased 95+% of what I review and the brands very rarely recognize my work to put on their socials… so I’m not really reaping any benefits. In fact I’m operating at a significant deficit when your do the analysis of time, money, products needed to put out a decent video. I love sharing so I continue, but at some point it would be nice to be recognized for the hard work I put in
I love watching her and reading her blogs. Designer RTW can seem unachievable for those who were financially hot with the pandemonium the last 2 years. I love classic pieces, but I think I’m going through a moody mid life thing… cuz I keep buying tight A**body con clothes trying to look sexy. I don’t want to look my age!
I really like Colorful Noir as well, she and Justine LeConte are the only two I pay any attention to.
My two go to girls are Sophie Shohet and Cassie Thorpe. I think their content is fun even if I don't leve everything they buy. They both seem to genuinely love what they purchase.
As far as Sophie goes, she purchased from Senreve with her own money too. She genuinely likes the brand - I think some do. I have followed Sophie for years. She likes what she likes and in my opinion has a unique fashion sense and I could see her liking Senreve and Coach. I believe she has the Cassie that looks like the Pochette Métis- I do believe she tries to bring in different price points for her followers. I venture to say that You Tube is not paying for her fancy cars or Chanel, Dior obsessions- I suspect she likes the look and quality because Sophie will wear a sweater she knit with jeans from Zara with a Chanel handbag that adorns a DIY handle and a Hello Kitty thingamabob hanging on it too. Sophie does Sophie and she is very generous with her giveaways.
This!!! I love Sophie so much but sometimes I do question her clothing choices. Those knit sweaters
I don't get Sophie's clothing choices either! Tops are way too tight, fancy pants with tennis shoes, etc. She tends to drag things out and I lose interest, I don't think I've ever gotten through one of her videos. David, David, David, David
I do love her (and I wont lie I love her and David's relationship). I think she isway less fake and vapid than a lot of influencers which is why I keep watching her. Honestly, though, I have not found many influencers whose styled I loved. They are mostly boring carbon copies of one another. At least Sophie is pleasing herself.I don't get Sophie's clothing choices either!

I came across her Ginza Xiaoma on insta, how does she have so many hermes bags for sale? Does she work for hermes? Sorry if it's a dumb question....I'm watching Xiaoma Picks lately. Maybe she can't really be regarded as an influencer as she's the owner of Ginza Xiaoma, showcasing and recommendating her inventories. Although her videos are in mandarin they were english subs and she gave very insightful knowledge and everything on hermes. She made me stop buying other brands. Hence she is an influencer in my own regards.
She owns Ginza Xiaoma, an Hermes resell boutique
I believe in her personal collection she bought a lot of pieces through auctions or directly from the boutique
