In this behind the scenes vlog, I take y'all along on a (super awkward) day in my life of shooting and modeling for a lookbook. Along the way, I showcase my subpar vlogging skills, my ratchet camera setup, and how I find locations for shooting fashion videos.
I hope this answers some of you your questions about how I make my videos and what my ~youtube life~ is like! I also hope I can inspire some of you guys to get out there and shoot some fashion videos or outfit photos because it's totally possible to do it all by yourself! :)

Its kinda dumb that people would be so weird about you shooting around campus at a film school lol

@bestdressed 6 лет назад

girl UCLA is strict af.. you can get expelled for shooting a film on campus without applying for a permit 2 weeks in advance, so i’ve gotta be inconspicuous lol

@violentarts6380 6 лет назад

bestdressed what!!! What college student has time to be scheduling anything two weeks in advance???

@Mcdevittas2499 6 лет назад

i feel kinda stupid I didn't realise how muh work it takes you to shoot the lookbook videos! I love them so much, ur style and personality is The Best ™️

@whome718 6 лет назад

this is a little extra but I got three of those canon batteries on amazon for like $10 so you can have extras with you for when your battery runs out!

@lifewithmelissa2351 6 лет назад

Just seeing the effort you put into your lookbooks makes me appreciate them even more!

@tiffanyp.9559 6 лет назад

8:40 I think incorporating more scenery shots, like this, would be a great break up of showing outfits, as well as, set up the vibe you are going for. You do such a great job already, just thought I'd throw that idea out there.

@bestdressed 6 лет назад

I love that idea! :) I'll def incorporate that in my next one!

@tiffanyp.9559 6 лет назад

bestdressed Okay I've been trying to figure out a reply for 20 minutes because I'm all giddy that I got a response... haha anyways, it made me feel nice and hope you have a lovely day. I'll be looking out for it in the next lookbook!

@smallrose323 6 лет назад

You put in so much work for the lookbooks and they always turn out amazing!! I also enjoyed watching a vlog style video, would love to see more

@heyitsamyjay 6 лет назад

I was really pumped to learn how you just go for filming in public and was like “IM GONNA DO THAT” but then remembered how small my school is so a rando walking past would probably know me and I feel like that’s more awkward lol

@bestdressed 6 лет назад

oh no 😭 maybe try exploring places off campus or like weird corners of campus nobody uses? or go out hella early in the morning - when i’m feeling extra anxious about filming, i’ll just wake up at sunrise to shoot bc hardly anyone’s up yet and lighting is nice af

@ellievista833 6 лет назад

The effort you put in your vids is the main reason why you're one of my top favorite youtubers. Much love from the Philippines! ❤️

@eileenzhou4704 6 лет назад

I always knew that shooting and editing videos was a lot of work, but it's nice that you took us along with you to show us exactly how much work it is and how you manage it. You're also so self sufficient! I think that's really cool and actually wish that I had gotten into youtubing when I was younger. After watching some of your other videos too you inspired me to start reselling some of my old clothing and maybe even try out the thrifting-resell path so I'm excited to see how it turns out! Thanks for your videos and being so down to earth! Glad I found your channel :)

@julieann7274 5 лет назад

You’re so quirky and charismatic! Loved watching this and your lookbooks are great, I really love how you edit and shoot 🧡

@ImTash 3 года назад

I love your realness. being in front of any camera is a tremendously awkward experience. When you have an audience you haven't invited watching your show slackjawed and judgy while you're trying to film/shoot... so much worse!! And you're right there is so much work that goes into all this - it's one of the reasons i've made videos ever since youtube started - because it's fun... but also never stuck with it... cos it's so. much. work. Unless people have had a stab at this themselves they have no idea what's actually involved.

I've been a fan of you and your channel since your T-shirt dress days back when you had like 1,000 subscribers and it's so cool to see how far you've come and how true to yourself you've stayed. Love your personality and editing style and I always get excited when I see you've uploaded. Stay awesome Ashley! :)

@hannahsmode 6 лет назад

@Addsuptonine 6 лет назад

You are in that "not-famous-yet" youtuber stage but I am sure you would be big one day. But i kinda prefer this stage of you than those big famous ytbers who just shoot for sponsors and tedious "vlogs" to product premieres. wt i want to say is you are in the best stage of your youtube career until you are corrupted by fame and money, so enjoy while it lasts :)

Ok, so I see the south campus ppl shooting videos all the time and I can't imagine why they'd kick you out!❤️ PS: have you seen the large, brown spiral art structure near the Broad Art Center? It would be so cool to film there!
