I realised that there is no use in having different SLGs (example: different card holders from different luxury houses) practically you only need one that suits you. For me the mini pochette really suits my purpose, I dont need anymore wallet or card holders I just stuff em all in. i think that way saves a lot of money
I like calculating the cost by wear. Yes my £1,500 diamond earrings are expensive but if I wear them 2 days a week, 46 weeks a year, for 10 years, that is £1.63 per wear. If I buy 1 pair of fun Accessorize earrings at £20 that I wear only 5 times in 2 years and then they get tarnished, that is £4 per wear + it contributes to clutter...
Also buying things for the "real life" me and not the "fantasy" me. A lot of designer items do not work with my lifestyle or environment, so I stick to what I can get the most realistic use out of and consider cost per wear.
Awesome tips, thank you Eileen, you are so wise. 🙏 I love your philosophy on shopping and life in general. One of the few UA-camrs that give a balanced view and not doing a shopping haul every other week. Just focus on the things that you love most and get the most value out of your hard earned money. I’m a fan 🙏 💕
I love your idea of transferring the $ you would have spent on the luxury item into an investment fund instead ! And the best is “would I rather have the $ instead? “ Your transparency and authenticity are so appreciated. Stay safe ! 🇨🇦
Good tips as always. I really feel like I’ve bought enough in the past few months with all the online shopping. I need to give myself a break, so I’ve unsubscribed to the newsletters and removed a few of the shopping apps from my mobile to stop myself from endlessly scrolling through luxury items. I now look more into how to style my existing items, which is really just as fun. 😊
Same! just unsubscribed myself from the shopping sites even before watching this video. Knowing that we are not chasing after the next new item in high-end stores really feels liberating:)
My main interest are bags. I see unboxing videos of expensive shoes, clothes, and jewelry but staying true to what you enjoy is (i agree with you!) very liberating. I'm no longer looking for the next thing to buy and there's a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Great video!
Yes Eileen!! 👏 I did this recently. I was tempted by a luxury handbag not too long ago but I knew deep down that I didn’t really want it. So, I transferred the cost of the bag into my investment account and immediately felt good about it. 💯 agree with you - I too prefer a tightly curated collection as having too many items makes me feel overwhelmed. It all comes down to gratitude - appreciating what we already have and enjoying it fully! 😉 Thanks for another great video! 👍
Ooh fabulous tip! I am getting so much out of the comments as well as these videos. Thank you Eileen for your message and for bringing us all together. Clearly this is all needed!
I’ve been doing very well in the last year. But there is still a lot of room for improvement. I discovered that I rather have cash then the items lately. I’m looking forward to the next 12 months of improvement. Honestly I think what’s kept me from buying is the selling part. It’s hard and I always lose money. Now when I look at any items, especially the more expensive ones I see money lost so I’ve been able to avoid the purchase.
I really look forward to your videos. I don't think anyone else is teaching this sort of content. And if there is, I would venture to say, they aren't as sweet, entertaining and endearing as you. I started my luxury collection last year. And I do not regret anything. I don't even buy a twilly that I'm not proud to wear. I take a long time to make up my mind. That's why I'm so happy with everything I have and do. So I agree with you 100%. Thank you for making these videos. I appreciate you for that. I hear they take a lot of time and work. And yes, your voice is very soothing.
Totally agree. I only keep my total bags to 5 and sell if I am over the limit. I also keep SLG to 3 as limit. No more high heels, since I find myself never wear them.
I haven’t bought any luxury bag yet but I’m thinking about it. I came across this video about listing your items you would want to buy. I actually do that and think about if I can pay it in full. And then once I get over that item, I just decide not to buy not unless I REALLY NEED IT. Not want it. I don’t wanna buy a luxury item when I myself I Haven’t had that a lot of savings. It’s like I rather save it than spend it and feed my ego.
Why do you always have the best tips Eileen? Ever since I come across your chanel I have been very mindful of my spending, I'm buying my first home next year and your videos have been very helpful to me. I have just rewarded my self with the LV alma bb and the Gucci vanity case, just realised that the chanel classic flap is not for me and coco handle is more my style. Your the best
Very interesting video because the world is working to push us towards overconsumption and you’re doing the opposite by making us realise that we don’t need everything to be happy. Please Eileen can you make a series on how to invest our money wisely? Thank you 💕
Totally agree with you, I don’t need big slg/ bag collections, after I watched your previous shopping habits video, I calculated my slg collection, I thought I might have around 10,but after the calculation I have nearly 30😨 I was truly shocked, I’m in the middle of cutting down my collection size now, bags included. After I told my friend how many bags I have sold this year, she told me I probably dont have any bags left lol but actually I still have more than 20 bags, now my goal is to downsize under 20, than eventually 10. tbh. I feel much happier now, I hope I could reach my goals soon. Anyways.Thanks for the video, this is my favourite type of videos on YT now.
I fully agree with you Eileen. You see lots of IGers doing unboxing of Chanel, LV handbags on a weekly basis and you have to wonder how much they really appreciate them. Furthermore I can’t help but wonder if their impulse purchases are to make up for something else that’s lacking in their life? I can understand if we buy on impulse now and then, but such vulgarity in people’s shopping have really made me wonder what they’re really about ie love of item vs attention from others...
I love to travel so I always think to myself "how many vacations can I have for the cost of this 1 luxury item?". The majority of time I'll choose to put that money towards travel.
Amazing tips that I will be incorporating into my daily life! I have enough for a 25 year old and am starting to realize I don't want to be a collector. I just really love good quality items that can last me a long time. Not having an extensive closet also means saving time when dressing up and time = money! Watching this video really reinforced how I want to spend my money going forward. Thank you Eileen!
Thank you for your sharing!!! I have had expereienced impulse shopping all the time and been quite stressed to learn about whether my bank account is financially healthy.... I love your channel and your vids about how you spend ♥️ I have made notes while I watched your vids everytime 😆
Good general solid advice Eileen; thank you! Having fewer things (that are beautiful regardless) makes one more appreciative of what we do have. Less is definitely more in that regard for me. The challenge of using what I do have to incorporate into my everyday look, without feeling deficient, is exhilarating...........and money in the bank!
Hi Eileen, first thing to state: I don't buy luxury items. However, I believe that mindful shopping and the need to manage impulse purchases should be practiced at all purchase levels. My tip is to set very clear criteria on what an item should have for you, that way many unsuitable options would just be self relegated to the "for browsing only" option. The 1 in 1 out rule I do apply, but not very strictly, as the end goal is just to ensure that I don't have an overly cluttered wardrobe space.
Thanks for sharing!! To be honest, I try to practise mindfulness with everything I buy now, including what I get for my little boy. Sometimes I question myself if I'm depriving him, but hopefully he will grow up to know that he doesn't need to depend on shopping for happiness xx
@@ColourfulNoir I would say that rather than depriving him, you are gifting him with something more precious - the ability to not rely on material possessions for happiness. That's a rare thing to possess in our consumerist society of today.
Hi Eileen, thank you for sharing this topic. I feel more relaxed and less stressed when I choose not to buy something. I still love luxury bags and I would add a new one to my collection once a while, but I don't splurge on luxury SLGs/shoes/jewelries. It makes me happy when I have a minimal collection which I love each single item in it. Great video!
I used to buy whatever I want when I want. However, one day I went shopping to buy my daughter a dress for a wedding she was just a kid then. I went with a young lady who made me rethink how I spent money. She asked me if the dress was worth it since my child would most likely wear it once. And then she said, how many hours did you have to work to buy it and how much use will you get from it. I learnt a big lesson on money that day ( and I was a stockbroker). Since, then I have tried to teach my kids the same thing. And my son like to say, on big purchases take a few days to think about it and if you feel the same way about it after those days, then get it. Otherwise no. Thank you for sharing this video and your knowledge.
Real talk real tips! Thanks for sharing. It helps me a lot not to be upset when I couldn’t get something that is so expensive or simply get myself out from my fantasy. And you are beautiful as always..💖💖
Fantastic video! Thank you for always releasing realistic content. It is important for us all to remember that UA-cam, Instagram and Social media in general isn’t real life. There are loads of people who don’t know what a Chanel bag is and don’t care. Some folks have had to sell off their designer items to stay afloat. I am done shopping for this year. I am focusing on being content, enjoying my purchases and watching others enjoy theirs as well!
Point # 9 by far is the most relevant one of it all! I really think that if I can practise point # 9 that means I have attained luxury shopping enlightenment! Chasing luxury items are very addictive... so difficult to control especially when the items are so pretty!! Just need to keep reminding myself “I dont need to have it all!”
Thank you for your suggestions! I am not at the same place you are yet but I am finding that less is certainly more! I would like to better streamline my style to what I love and what works for me so these videos are helpful. I’m still working on what my brain thinks I need versus what I actually use in real life. Keep the videos coming!
I rarely impulse shop but when I do, I do it in maybe within 2-3 months where I just need to shop my heart out. Normally I am quite mindful! And omg, I've been watching your videos consistently for the past two months or more, thinking I have already subscribed to you since you are consistently in my recommended section. This happened with another luxury UA-camr (A Heated Mess) I was watching consistently but wasn't subscribed this whole time. Haha, now I am a proper subscriber!
All good tips, Eileen. When tempted by a luxury purchase, another tip to add is to ask yourself would you like the item enough to buy if it were on a market stall? Sometimes that logo/badge sways us into treating ourselves to items we’re not really in love with and ordinarily we wouldn’t bother about.
Credit card interests are definitely the killer! Never ever roll on credit is so wise yet so hard to practise. I think I will try out the imaginary wish list! That might just work for me as i have a long list and I am sure the figures once added up will be very shocking! Sleeping on it also works! That I have tried and it does work like magic!
I loved this video! I’ve personally been practising a lot of these tips over the past couple of years myself and I’m really happy with where my collection is at now ☺️ thanks for sharing Eileen 💕 I love your content - you’re always so transparent and practical with your tips ❤️
I agree with point #5. I had been eyeing/ thinking about the LV mini pochette for 2 months. I felt that I kept convincing myself that I don’t need it/ I don’t actually like it. I did this on a DAILY. I finally took the plunge and grabbed the mini pochette, and honestly, I LOVE my mini pochette.
These are great tips! I totally agree on the hours worked calculation. Even if you take your annual salary and divide by hours worked, it can be so eye opening
Eileen .. you are my inspiration and guru for MINDFUL & INTENTIONAL SPENDING ... thank you for yet another educational, practical and all too truthful video. 💕 💕 💕
Such a great video!! Its so true! I get obsessed with an item, weigh pros and cons, and then do all kinds of research on it. It helps me figure out if it was something I really need/want and if its not, the process helps gets "it" out of my system lol
I agree that one of the best reasons not to shop frivolously is when you compare money to time wasted. The thought of working several weeks just to buy a luxury handbag that you don’t absolutely love or buy on a whim seems so sad and pointless. If you add up the money you’ve wasted over the years just think how many weeks, months or years you could retire early. For me that would be a definite game changer.
Hi Eileen, thank you so much for sharing these tips! I am just starting out with purchasing luxury items after getting a job and graduating from university. I truly appreciate your measured approach towards purchasing high end items. Keep up the great videos!
Vintage bags shopping on Ebay is my weakness. I'm obsessed w/ a HUGE deal on Mark Cross (6) and Delvaux (2). I have tote, cross, hand-held, I've stopped.
Thank you for these tips! I am trying to reduce spending on little things that can add up to large sums like buying tees and trinkets and contemporary brands that go on sale. I love what you said about how many hours do I have to work to buy this item. A green card holder that was on my wishlist has been scratched off now. Thank you. ❤️💕
Yes!! I need someone to remind me about this! It's always in my mind but quitw difficult to be disciplined. TQ, I really enjoyed this vid. Stay safe, take care & cheers! 🌟
Thankyou for all your tips,that make me strongly walk away from LV Neverfull mm and the LV Pochette Métis.Because,I already have the LV Siena mm ,and the LV George bb,both of them can do the same job like the orther.I will put that fun into something else I don’t have yet,like the Chanel handbag.🌺🌻👍❤️
Thank you so much. You have confirmed for me that really, I hate Hermes. I wanted it to complete my collection, but honestly, I am content. Once I lose weight, I will give myself two bailman blazers. That's it for luxury. I have had enough of the rat race. Thank you
Great tips again Eileen, thanks for sharing! I try to practice the one in one out philosophy too, and I also think about the cost of items in terms of how many days of my salary it takes to pay for it lol. I do also feel good after investing my money, and only after that do I feel okay splurging on a luxury item for myself :).
I love all your tips. You are so so right!!! I’m truly enjoying your channel. I’m curious to see your entire luxury collection. Will you please share? Thank you ☺️
I do the same thing, Learned to ask myself how many hours I worked or have to work to get a certain luxury items, do I need it? Can I live without it? It helps me cut down my impulse purchases once the first question hits. Such a great advice.. thank you for making this awesome videos and sharing your thoughts to us 💗
I agree, this really helps because I'm currently struggling in figuring out if I really want the Celine pico belt bag or if it's an impulse buy😔....still haven't figured it out yet, but will try it some of your tips here😅
Hi Eileen, how do you normally refuse something but the customer service is really good and I feel bad not buying after being served so nicely and took up so much of SA's time?
I do feel a bit of guilt but if I'm not 100% sure, I will not take my credit card out😇 It's better to feel the guilt for 2 minutes rather than the regret for much longer xx
“How many hours do I have to work to buy this item?” I’ve lived by this my whole adult life and it’s given great perspective. Very good tips.
Me too!!
I wish I knew this earlier but I'm glad I do now xx
I realised that there is no use in having different SLGs (example: different card holders from different luxury houses) practically you only need one that suits you. For me the mini pochette really suits my purpose, I dont need anymore wallet or card holders I just stuff em all in. i think that way saves a lot of money
Same here! I don't see the point of having a big collection of SLGs at all xx
I like calculating the cost by wear. Yes my £1,500 diamond earrings are expensive but if I wear them 2 days a week, 46 weeks a year, for 10 years, that is £1.63 per wear. If I buy 1 pair of fun Accessorize earrings at £20 that I wear only 5 times in 2 years and then they get tarnished, that is £4 per wear + it contributes to clutter...
You've got it spot on really, love your way of thinking! xx
Also buying things for the "real life" me and not the "fantasy" me. A lot of designer items do not work with my lifestyle or environment, so I stick to what I can get the most realistic use out of and consider cost per wear.
Love that!xx
I think I should rewatch this video every month on pay-day! So good, thank you!!
Aww I hope I would save you some money! xx
This is why I love your channel. It's a luxury channel but it's so mindful.
Glad you enjoy it!xx

Thank you so much Leah xx
I’ve heard that when you want to spend, take that same amount of money and move it to your savings (just like you mentioned). It’s a great tip!
Thank you! Like my mother used to say, you can't shop with no money lol. So much wisdom xx
Very interesting video because the world is working to push us towards overconsumption and you’re doing the opposite by making us realise that we don’t need everything to be happy. Please Eileen can you make a series on how to invest our money wisely? Thank you 💕

Thank you so much for sharing! I have 10 bags at the moment and I feel so much happier than when I had 18 xx
You are so mature and balanced - and real. You have the most relevant and credible channel on luxury wearables I have seen.
Aww thank you so much, Paula! I really appreciate it xx
I fully agree with you Eileen. You see lots of IGers doing unboxing of Chanel, LV handbags on a weekly basis and you have to wonder how much they really appreciate them.

Finding contentment with what we have is key 😇
I love to travel so I always think to myself "how many vacations can I have for the cost of this 1 luxury item?". The majority of time I'll choose to put that money towards travel.
I usully do the same but this year I splurged because no travel planned 😂
I think paying for experiences can be so much more worth it many times xx
Your voice is so soothing omgg, love ur channel!!

Thank you Eileen. I'll try the trick in transferring my money to an investment account to curb any impulse purchases.
It works, give it a try 😉
I shop a lot, I just don't buy a lot :) I love to shop but I don't love paying. I also make myself wait at least a day.
same here i love to shop but don’t like paying lol
Same here. I love to check out stuff but i hardly buy anything. I call it "research" lol
That's a very valuable characteristic! xx
Good general solid advice Eileen; thank you! Having fewer things (that are beautiful regardless) makes one more appreciative of what we do have. Less is definitely more in that regard for me.

All good tips, Eileen. When tempted by a luxury purchase, another tip to add is to ask yourself would you like the item enough to buy if it were on a market stall?

I agree that one of the best reasons not to shop frivolously is when you compare money to time wasted. The thought of working several weeks just to buy a luxury handbag that you don’t absolutely love or buy on a whim seems so sad and pointless. If you add up the money you’ve wasted over the years just think how many weeks, months or years you could retire early. For me that would be a definite game changer.
Definitely! Plus time is the most precious resource ever xx
Colourful Noir it absolutely is and it’s never promised.
Hi Eileen, thank you so much for sharing these tips! I am just starting out with purchasing luxury items after getting a job and graduating from university. I truly appreciate your measured approach towards purchasing high end items. Keep up the great videos!
You're at such a good place, I wish I started shopping mindfully earlier. All the very best to you xx
Love this advice...very sensible and shows you can enjoy luxury things thoughtfully
Thank you! xx
I love these tips.
Thank you so much for taking the time to jot them down in this video.
Glad it was helpful!xx

Love your video. I’ve been practicing some of these tips you discussed. But I’d like to apply #7
Thank you for sharing. 💕
Glad it was helpful!xx
Great video. I think I need to watch on repeat🤦🏼♀️

Vintage bags shopping on Ebay is my weakness. I'm obsessed w/ a HUGE deal on Mark Cross (6) and Delvaux (2). I have tote, cross, hand-held, I've stopped.
Thanks for sharing!!xx
What wonderful advice, i really like the one for one.Spot on as usual.
Glad you liked it!xx
Thank you for these tips! I am trying to reduce spending on little things that can add up to large sums like buying tees and trinkets and contemporary brands that go on sale. I love what you said about how many hours do I have to work to buy this item. A green card holder that was on my wishlist has been scratched off now. Thank you. ❤️💕
I'm so glad you found my video helpful 😇 Keep shortening that wish list xx
Yes!! I need someone to remind me about this! It's always in my mind but quitw difficult to be disciplined. TQ, I really enjoyed this vid. Stay safe, take care & cheers! 🌟
You got this! it took me a while to be good with money too xx
Thankyou for all your tips,that make me strongly walk away from LV Neverfull mm and the LV Pochette Métis.Because,I already have the LV Siena mm ,and the LV George bb,both of them can do the same job like the orther.I will put that fun into something else I don’t have yet,like the Chanel handbag.🌺🌻👍❤️
Thanks for sharing!! xx
Thank you so much. You have confirmed for me that really, I hate Hermes. I wanted it to complete my collection, but honestly, I am content. Once I lose weight, I will give myself two bailman blazers. That's it for luxury. I have had enough of the rat race. Thank you
The key to happiness is having the ability to desire less. Kudos to you xx
Great tips again Eileen, thanks for sharing! I try to practice the one in one out philosophy too, and I also think about the cost of items in terms of how many days of my salary it takes to pay for it lol. I do also feel good after investing my money, and only after that do I feel okay splurging on a luxury item for myself :).
You certainly get your priorities spot on 😇
Thanks for the help with impulse shopping. I’ll use your advise to better save my money 😁
I'm sure you'll do well xx

I’m cleaning my closet and this helps me a lot! Thank you for all the tips!
I'm so glad! Decluttering is really one of the best things I've done for my wardrobe xx
I do the same thing, Learned to ask myself how many hours I worked or have to work to get a certain luxury items, do I need it? Can I live without it? It helps me cut down my impulse purchases once the first question hits. Such a great advice.. thank you for making this awesome videos and sharing your thoughts to us 💗

Welcome on board 😇
Your videos have helped me so much with my spending! Where have you sold bags in the past? I am trying to sell a Dior Book Tote I never used :(
Hi Julie, I recommend SÀCLAB saclab.com/
xx
I never bought anything on credit and I can’t even imagine people doing that. Scary!
All good advice my lady. 👍🏼❤️😘😘😘Sandy
😇
Thanks for this Eileen! Must work on it >~
Thank you! xx
I'm also a firm believer of it's meant to be it will happen.
Worrying is energy wasted 😉
Hi Eileen, how do you normally refuse something but the customer service is really good and I feel bad not buying after being served so nicely and took up so much of SA's time?
I do feel a bit of guilt but if I'm not 100% sure, I will not take my credit card out😇 It's better to feel the guilt for 2 minutes rather than the regret for much longer xx
@@ColourfulNoir Thank you :) I shall try living with 2-minute guilt better!
