A fashion video between you and Lena would be fascinating because you seem (at least on the surface) to have contradictory views on what makes something sustainable. Could be a fun chat!
Totally agree! They are both such considered and eloquent people too, so I feel like they would have a really productive discussion.
Yeeees! This would be so interesting! They are both intelligent, politically aware and grounded. Maybe it could touch on personal responsibility? I myself fall more into Lucy's way of consuming and I am quite underwhelmed by the "personal responsibility approach", although I admire people who do consume the way Leena does for instance. But I feel quite strongly about how the "personal responsibility approach" have problems when it comes to politically activating a strata of people for change. But of course so does not taking personal responsibility in the way Leena does. Not saying that me or Lucy don't take personal responsibility btw haha. Lucy certainly does. More than myself I would argue. I just mean that there are different way of approaching complex issues.
I think one of the many things I really appreciate about the 168 hour series is that there is never really a conclusion. A lot of creators I’ve seen that typically gravitate to vlogging content like to create a story with each individual vlog, or sometimes an overarching story over a series of vlogs. 168 hours feels like a lower pressure checkin. I don’t know how to describe it.
You look so fresh and gorgeous around that 4 minute mark! Clean “no makeup “ and a white shirt and hair tied back… I’m here for it! 💙
re: Dan- he is a rare type nowadays. A relic of yt when it was mememolly and communitychannel etc, and I feel like to him, the CRAFT is the ultimate goal. I feel like newer ytbers are more flexible and able to adjust to the fluctuations of the platform/social media in general because they came up with framing that this is a job first and foremost. I feel like Dan is operating from the reverse-this is his art first and foremost, and everything is deeply personal. And thinking about it, lifestyle content, specially sponsored, translates well to other platforms, but does sketch comedy? Idk. I feel like Dan is a really interesting youtuber who is still operating in a v 2008ish way and it's cool that he hasn't disappeared fully, like a lot of the best ytbers of that era.
yes!
I feel like it's the difference between treating youtube as a platform to express your art on vs focusing on it as a career/making content. I think ideally it gets to be both for a youtuber but I do think there can be a big difference between focusing on the influencer vs creator part of the job and what that balance is
Totally agree with this! I think it’s very easy to say that he did it wrong and should have diversified more but he fundamentally LOVES creating for RUclips and maybe doesn’t for Instagram or tiktok. Think his subscribers can feel this and that’s why he’s retained such a huge and loyal fan base.
the sunday upload is just *chefs kiss* 💕
I love these vlogs. They’re always so calming and yet motivating 💛
Agreed! Also, I’m always seeing your comments on EVERY video I watch. Are we the same person @khalilah d.? 😂
Good morning lucy Moon ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
hey, longtime lurker here. Just wanted to let you know that your vlogs and your journey have been so helpful to me. They really help me calm down, reflect and decompress. They genuinely do a lot for me and I feel like the things you think and talk about are so relevant for all of us to think about and I feel your honest reflection on yourself and life are so meaningful. As well as still very fun and enjoyable. Wanted to say that.
Thank you for this!! 💕💕
Oooo this was just the chilled, gentle thought provoking, life inspo video I needed on a Sunday evening
168 hours are some of my favorites from you. Also loved your sit downs with music artist you used to do .all your videos are great and seem different than most other creators here.
agreed with how fast paced the social media landscape is! doesn't hurt to experiment with new platforms as they come along (for they always will), and figure out what works/doesn't work for you
I still have items of clothing from fast fashion brands that are probably 10+ years old, but I definitely pick pieces that I know I’ll wear again and again, I take care of it as much as humanly possible, and I’ll wear it into the ground because I don’t like throwing things away unnecessarily.
I like how you brought up that the wear time is the most important part of owning clothes and being sustainable. I’m a recent college grad so I don’t have money and I feel bad sometimes buying clothes from fast fashion places. Thing is I wear my clothes for years and sometimes have a couple pieces that I’m not in love with.
Would love to see you thrifting round east London! Miss those vlogs
lovely to hear a natacha oceane video in the background :) she's the best!
The music choices in this video were exceptional ✨💛
lucy picks up the best vintage homewares i stg leave some for the rest of us !!
Lucy - thank you for shouting out Eyeculture in your previous videos! I had no idea where to get my film developed in London since moving here & now I use Eyeculture every time and LOVE them 🤩🤩❤️
Your videos are becoming more aesthetically pleasing each day!💕
These are some of my favourite videos of yours, always look forward to watching them. You're a big inspiration!
I feel like ur place in the fashion ecosystem depends on age a lot. And I too feel like my love for fashion as art can sometimes conflict with sustainable ideals.
Children often get put in fast fashion as well as inherit clothes from older siblings.
I think going to thrift shops is really good for when ur finding ur style in ur teenage and young adult years (the phase I'm currently in) since 1) u can explore styles that were popular in previous years and really develop ur own opinion on them, 2) (more or less) be free from trends and fads and 3) keep ur wardrobe in rotation in a way that is less damaging than if it was 100% fast fashion. Thrifting also motivated me to learn simple mending and modification or pushing me to get things tailored when I couldn't do it myself. Also still buying fast fashion for underwear and socks because thrifting that is kinda gross at least that's how I feel (sorry). Swaps with friends also makes up about half my wardrobe atm.
However when u start earning and found a basic blueprint of ur style u can more safely invest in pieces. Independent brands and luxury fashion (second hand if ur even close to a normal persons budget) who approach clothes art (and sustainability too sometimes) are essential to the development of fashion as an art form and cultural phenomenon.
When it comes to influencers putting out fashion content though that is more inspirational than informational u often do need to be rotating ur wardrobe in order to make new content. In that case u can't truly make them all last until the last thread is left, u basically have to choose between fast fashion or thrifting or both.
I think I'm quite similar to you. I'm in my late twenties but still change my mind about what clothes I want to wear on the daily from minimalist classics to granny vibes to outdoorsy clothes, so investing in non-secondhand feels risky, especially as I try to buy ethically when I do buy new, and the prices can be 3-10x more expensive than fast fashion.
All of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe are secondhand now, including vintage wool coats, a battered leather jacket and my oversized denim jacket. All of those took me over 6 months to find in a charity shop though, and some took me over a year.
If I'm in a pinch, and I need that item by the end of the week I do sometimes pop into M&S and just buy it. Plus large, supportive bralettes I've never seen in a sustainable shop or brand, so I have to buy them less sustainably.
Lucy could you do a updated living in London video, I’m hoping to move to London to do a theatre internship✨
I love your nails! 168 hours are always such a chill time, I love them so much. ♡♡♡
the Best vlog ! 🤎
Lucy -loving this 168 hours as always. do you mind telling me where your sofa is from? it looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for! hoping you’re well 💕
Thank you pal! Its from Snug, its fab 🤍
I bought my espresso cups from the thrift too! Ended up scoring le creuset cups and a Van Gogh cup. I love them and use them every day
Just out of curiosity shouldn’t it say “ad” somewhere in the title of this video? Felt like a stealthy one…
That was the most seamless ad I think I’ve ever seen in a video. Even with “Ad” in the corner, it took me until that segment was almost over to realize that was the sponsored bit. 😅💖
Lucy! I really need to know what nail polish you’re using? It’s so pretty! I’m obsessed :)
Lovely visit!
I think all forms of clothing can be considered 'art'. Even within fast fashion there are people creating and designing pieces. In terms of sustainability luxury fashion doesn't automatically mean its more sustainable. I think sustainability comes from the consumer and how long they have something and wear it. I mainly shop from fast fashion brands because thats what I can afford, however, the pieces I've bought will be with for as long as they will last.
Hi Lucy, great vid! Which earrings from monica vinader are you wearing? :)
Totally agree with the comment below 👍
I so agree with your comments on sustainable fashion. It's great if you can source and afford the most sustainable brands, but it seems to be a slightly elitist view. Most of us can't afford to only shop from bcorps, but we CAN be much more thoughtful with our purchases and wear them to death no matter if they're from Sezane, Depop or H&M. I used to hoard clothes and hardly wear some of them, but I've come a very long way. I think one of the major contributors to buying too many clothes is the clever sale and discount marketing brands do... don't be lured into buying something just because it's on sale or because it will be sold out if you don't get it right that second! Stepping away from a shop or my computer and thinking "do I actually want this and will I wear it" has helped me so much from impulse buys.
I always love your 168 hour videos because you bring up such interesting topics that I think we all think about in passing but it gives us the option to talk about 🤷♀️
I think my view on clothes always boils down to pounds per wear - if I'm going to wear it until I can't fix it anymore, then I'll spend the money on it. (Ie YEARS)
This is kinda gross but that also goes for make up too - I've not thrown out anything Good Quality for at least 5 years unless it's mascara bc that stuff DOES go off after 6 months 😅 I read somewhere recently that people are using up old make up pallette as watercolour? Which sounds like a fun idea? 🤔
I'm really vibing to the song 2:30-3:35. Tried shazaming, but no success. Anyone knows? :D
"tap to cook" *pauses the video* im an idiot :)
Typically I really love 168 hour vids, and there were some nice moments in this one too! However, the shoehorning of other people's content that you didn't like and saying what you'd do instead (re: dan and mina) was just kind of icky feeling. That, paired with the way the ad worked in at the end of a bunch of awkward scripted copy, left this one feeling less like a little glimpse into someone's life or a typical vlog of yours. Love these usually! Just didn't love the light dogging on other creators and this particular ad approach.
Worth saying I love Dan, Mina and Chelsea as creators which is why I wanted to talk about their content! Sorry that it came across as shoehorning to you 💕
