likes to see] how companies can copy trends as well, so there’s a lot of like new fashion on catwalks and I love seeing how companies like to copy the latest trends.

She says she enjoys producing fashion videos because “...it gives me ideas also when I have to go through my closet and like pick things out. I don’t know it’s just fun and I like fashion and trying things on and putting things together.” While a fashion video is not the same as a haul video, it illustrates themes of self-expression and appearance management behaviors.

This is in part what helps them generate viewership. The following remarks are indicators that commenters are receptive to and arguably favor some of the fashion and beauty choices haulers showcase during their videos: “Omg im literally clawing at the screen. I WANT those shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (from purplepenguin77) “Euchante!! Those wedges from WHBM.. didn’t you show those in a video on your other channel?? I think it was back in September.. awww I’m so happy you got those for yourself!” (from zazalicious) “I love the wedges!” (from coffeelover208) 108
