Looking for the next game changer? Here she is.
Meet Amy Lee, the hilarious, yet genuinely honest YouTuber you should be watching.
Amy is a 24-year-old from Los Angeles, CA. Having started her channel in 2011, Amy has almost 308,000 subscribers and 129,000 followers on Instagram.
As an influencer in the fashion and beauty realm, Amy has impeccable style. Keeping it cute while also functional is Amy’s strong point. Oh, and the way she mixes trends while also looking very put together is hard to do.
Camo pants and a tan thrifted blazer have never looked so good.
Other than being a YouTuber, Amy is a UCLA graduate, a major foodie (french fries are her favorite), a dog mom and a podcast connoisseur.
At the beginning of her YouTube career, she had a store called “Vagabond Youth.” On her store site, she would resell vintage and thrifted items such as dip-died ombre distressed denim and D.I.Y t-shirts.
In an effort to advertise for her store, Amy started her YouTube channel which propelled her to become a leader in the fashion community for the video site. Also making her well-known as Amy Vagabond on YouTube and Amy Vagabondd on all other social media. And, yes, with two ds.
Since her start, Amy has made several videos for her channel such as “How I style,” and D.I.Y.’s. Covering topics from back to school essentials to hauls, she’s nearly done it all.
One of her most popular pieces of content is her weekly video series: The A.M. with Amy.
In 2016, Amy started a video series called The AM with Amy. Almost every week on Mondays, Amy discusses some of her most personal thoughts while doing her makeup. Two for the price of one.
Amy is a multifaceted woman who has interest in a variety of things. In her videos, she makes it a point to discuss one overarching topic that is relatable to her viewers, while also giving her audience a look into her life that includes all of her ups and downs. Because she cares about her audience, which consists of mostly young women, she gives them advice on how to move forward with their lives.
In a toxic relationship? Amy’s got you. Letting your perfectionism get in the way of living your best life? Amy’s your girl! Her relatable content and enlightening advice have created a space for self-growth and development, which is hard to find on the internet.
Because Amy is looked to for recommendations on books and podcasts it’s no surprise that she has great taste in music too. Earlier this year she started her version of a “get ready with me,” but with music recommendations, called The Music Edit.
You get another glimpse into her daily life while also finding the newest songs to add to your playlists.
Amy is very vocal about her thoughts on the way women are treated in the world. She uses her platform to inform her audience of the issues women globally have to face on a daily basis. She calls out the patriarchy and demands change. Amy’s dedication to calling out the injustices people face is admirable.
Throughout the years, using her platform, Amy Lee continues to be an inspiration to so many young women. Her commitment to being vulnerable and honest with viewers is what makes her so unique. Instead of using social media to give the illusion of perfection, she speaks out against it and encourages people to live in their truth.
Even though her style has changed over the years, she’s still the same lovely and caring Amy Lee from the start of her channel — that’s probably why she’s the darling of the internet.
