I love Cassie! She's hilarious and very animated, but what I like most is that her videos are consistently short and to the point. Sometimes YT videos drag on too long.

LOVE CASSIE. "When are we going to rehab?? NEVER!"

I also like Sophie and Mel. I kind of can't with LVLoverCC (Charis) anymore because her hauls are insane and I have to wonder if she returns a lot of it.

I just found this thread and love it! I'm also a fan of Sophie Shohet, The Geek is Chic, Isabelle's Style and Emma Anders. I'm 49 and not slim, so I relate to the comment about most influencers being under 38 and not wearing above a size 6. I almost want to start my own YouTube channel just to offer that perspective - yet I feel I'm more in need of the advice than in a place to give it. For YouTubers closer to my age, I like Have Louis Will Travel and Busbee Style. They're still younger than me, but I relate to them most.

Others I enjoy - Justine Leconte officiel, Audrey Coyne and Kelly Jane.

I feel like Tati Westbrook, Lisa Eldridge, Claire Chanelle and 2 french girls: Mon Blog de fille and Sananas are the most trustworthy and the only ones i really watch reviews and recommendation videos of.

:heart::

I started to watch geek is chic/Evelyn due the recommendations here. Yes she does have favorite brands but her content is high-quality, so I still find value from her. (Thank you, TPFers :flowers:)

Cassie, I've been watching for longer and I just adore her. She's witty, fun, and has a more unique style that comes across as authentic, i.e. not just following the repetitive things from almost every other luxury influencer. Honestly, if I just need a cheerful, short distraction I look to see what new videos she has up. Somehow her love of her LV Multi-Pochette (which was one of the most gimmicky influencer-based marketing operations I think I've seen) comes across as genuine because it actually suits the rest of her aesthetic...what she calls "Lara Croft" fantasies. LOL! She is probably paid at this point, but it's not like I'm running out the door to buy whatever she buys.

Kat L is also extremely warm and funny.

Last but not least, FashionablyAMY does really great reviews of her likes/dislikes. She has started to include sponsored products/companies, but she discloses them, and they don't reduce the value (to me) of her thorough pros/cons list for the things she owns or has owned.

:blah::

I do not follow influencers/recommendations from people who have 5+ different versions of the same thing and present themselves as an expert that considered a range of products. Like 5+ cardholders that all function almost the same and hold ~4-6 cards only (like, why?) instead of having a range of sizes/capacities...and then label the video BEST CARDHOLDERS EVERRRR WATCH MY VIDEO BEFORE SHOPPING. Like hello, you didn't even cover the other formats that are out there? Or like THE BEST CROSSBODY BAGS and they're all the same style. Pass.

I also don't follow people who buy and resell constantly, i.e. have a high turnover. They can't seem to inform themselves of what they like, so how can they effectively present pros/cons? One month it's "I LOVE THIS it's a permanent KEEPER you should run out and buy too!!!!" And then the next month it's "I didn't like it anymore so I sold it." One reviewer had an unboxing and review of a Rolex purchase and she simply deleted it 2 months later without an explanation. :tdown:
