Your Hermes comments, YES… It is not a journey, definitely not worth crying over. Ugh, It really truly makes me so sad when I see these adult women crying and fussing over not getting a bag.
I'm not sure if it makes me sad or if I cringe lol. It is just a bag for goodness sake!
We make so many mistakes in our handbags shopping journey, and totally agree that it’s part of the learning process. Love this video Melinda!!!! ❤ have the best weekend 😊
I hated crossbody bags too!!! Can’t live without them now, and I haven’t worn a shoulder bag in so long.
I've recently started wearing shoulder bags again but crossbody will always be my fave now.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! On a sidenote, thank you for not referring to your bags as "she." It drives me crazy when I hear other youtubers referring to their bags in the feminine pronoun. They are just bags, not people! Yes, we like and admire then and use them to haul our stuff, but they are just bags.
But can we say we baby our bags thou? 😂❤
@@KA-jo8vn - sure, I think it's ok to take care of the stuff we own and baby them, but it bothers me when people personify their bags. Idk, maybe it's just me??
Thank you, I thought it was just me. It is funny how things catch on. The other one that gets me is referring to jeans as denim. “A pair of denim”….. Denim is a fabric not a clothing item, and used to make jackets, shorts, skirts, shoes, blah blah blah…. 😂😂😂
@@lindanguyen4340it’s not just you! It makes me cringe also! It’s like are you educated? Didn’t we learn how to use pronouns in 1st grade?!
No, it’s not just you…I agree 100%. 😊
You live, you learn. I've found that when you have to talk yourself into liking _anything_ usually it doesn't end well.
So true! Best to listen to ourselves and not to convince ourselves!
I agree with all your points! Thanks for sharing! I do think it’s easy to get caught up in the “classics” when you first start collecting. I was also scared to buy color for a while, but realized I really don’t enjoy black bags???? Even though 90% of my clothes are black. So, what’s the point??? Trying to sell a black bag now. One of my favorites I own is a green YSL bag.
Totally agree with everything! 💯 I’ve learned (and am still learning😅) so many of the same lessons. And how cool that you sold your bags and your friends sold them back to you! What a win-win situation! 🤩
I think we will never stop learning and changing. It was really cool they sold them back! :)
I loved high shoulder bags last year and this year I prefer to wear them lower 😅 so glad i didn't get too many of the same style. Classic flaps saved me! I can wear them either way
Gotta try the dazzle dry nail polish! Thanks for the rec
It's so good! Hope you like it!
Love the silver jewelry on your skin tone!
Ah, I’m in the market for my first watch and was eyeing Michele watches. They have a beautiful gold piece with a pink face and diamonds. 🤩
Thank you! They have beautiful watches!
You are so right we change our taste along the years I am all about crossbody bags now. Btw your nail polish is beautiful can you share the color name tks
It is Lotion Please.
Awesome video! I sincerely appreciated your willingness to share your lessons learned.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Melinda. Your nails are beautiful. Can you please tell me specifically which Dazzle Dry products you use. I’m going to place an order with them. Thanks
I use the whole system. It doesn't work if you don't. I recommend watching their video for how to apply and once you know how to do it, it is easy!
This was really good. I love the opalescent grey Lady Dior and it’s been available for many years on their Australian website and I have been tempted but I have resisted because I tend to gravitate towards warm colours and grey isn’t going to fit in my wardrobe well and I probably wouldn’t wear it. It’s so beautiful though that I can’t stop looking at the listing.
It hasn't been on the USA site since I was into Dior. But I wouldn't want to pay todays price. It is really beautiful.
You're so right about not buying for an imaginary lifestyle. I have several lovely evening bags that I either have not used yet or only used a handful of time because I don't go out to fancy dinners that often. And also not getting caught up in hype and just because a bag works for someone else doesn't mean it will work for me. I remember going into LV fully expecting to love the Neverfull because of all the hype from youtubers but didn't like it on me (I'm petite and it just looked silly on me).
Yes we need to not get caught up in the hype. What works for one may not work for us.
Thanks for your thoughts Melinda - always enjoy hearing them. I feel exactly the same about loosening up my tastes and going for more color and straying away from the “classic bag checklist.” This past year I added an orange Kelly 32 to my wardrobe, and it has quickly become one of my most used bags. I even added a yellow hobo bag since then and also use it frequently. Also - I feel like a more exuberant person when I wear bright colors, and I never quite noticed that until recently.
An aside - You look fantastic and radiant in this video!
Your new bags sound so fun! Wearing color makes me feel good too. Awe thank you so much!
You're so right: the best bags are the ones who make you smile. I look forward to see what colors that you bring into your collection! Your color selections are always gorgeous and fun.
If it doesn't bring a smile I won't buy. Thank you Mckenzie!
Yes, I remember when you own your Vernis Alma PM...I always said you carried that bag so beautifully & couldn't understand why you let it go. I also remember your thoughts on Hermès and was surprised when you began to purchase from them. I agree, but what you love and enjoy. Great video!💚
It was such a lovely bag and I was even able to order a matching shoulder strap for it. That was a big mistake letting that one go. I was surprised when I bought Hermes too lol. Thank you! Xoxo
Such great advice! We all have gone through bags that everyone raves about which makes you want it only to find it’s just not for you! But the bags that feel right from the start just work. Thanks for the nail recommendation! Do you use the whole system or just the lacquer? I’ll have to try them out!!🥰🥰🥰
Thanks Kim! So true! I use the whole system, it won't work if you don't. But you can use regular polish (I don't very often) but it takes a lot longer to dry. I recommend watching their video on how to apply. If you do it right it lasts and lasts.
@@LuxPurselove will definitely give this a try!
Hi Melinda, great video our tastes do change as we mature. I only had black bags too mainly Chanel and I still have them as my daughter wants them lol. I have a mini lady Dior in a soft white which I love and am now looking for more fun coloured bags. I bought the pochette Métis online because of the hype, I have never returned a bag so quickly it looked awful on me, I definitely think you have to go with your gut and love it before purchasing and I try to buy in store as well.
Our tastes really do change! I didn't have the chance to try the PM on in the store but if I had I would not have bought it. It looked like a briefcase on me lol.
TFS all your lessons Melinda! I adored your pearlescent grey lady Dior as well and I was shocked when you sold it. Whenever I run across a similar colored one online I think of you. I will keep an eye out for you now haha. And I completely agree, when I shop at Hermes it’s just shopping. My black bags never see the light of day the second it starts getting warm although I love them. I’ve banned myself from getting more. I love color so I like darker colors for the winter and lighter for the warmer months.
That was a big mistake! But I will get over it of course lol. I am banned from new black bags too!
You’re absolutely right Melinda! Our styles & needs change over time. I’ve never followed the trends. I don’t have a neverfull or pochette Métis. The speedy 25 is my favorite but I didn’t add them to my collection until recently. After retirement, I have found that I no longer need the extra space ( I use to carry an extra phone, etc) I now prefer the speedy 20 size. The only bag I bought to follow the trend was a woody Chloe tote bag & matching mules 😔 I have not worn either 😑
woody Chloe Sand sandals hard as rock so it’s sold
I hear ya! I bought the Chloe Woody tote and have only worn it once. It's comfy and fits a lot, I need to use it more. The shoes are too flat for me so I haven't tried them.
Although it didn’t turn out to be as good of a flight bag as you had hoped it would be, the Chanel tote is beautiful and I never see it in the leather. I have one in the pink and use it as an office tote during the warmer months . 😉 The Fendi peekaboo is a classic and chic. ❤So pretty.
They are beauties for sure!
Loved this video, thank you for the reminder to get what one likes and what fits into your life. (BTW-that jewelry makes you sparkle, so gorgeous).
Awe thank you so much!💗
I really like this video. I've noticed the older I get, the less I care about handbag trends and the "It bags." Instead, I'm having fun picking up bags that I truly like, and want to carry. Maybe they were popular two years ago, and maybe they were never a big deal. It doesn't matter. I like them now. I've also bought back a bag I sold years ago-the Gucci eclipse shoulder bag. I love it, and it will never leave my collection again!
I totally agree with you! With age comes wisdom and self acceptance and also a lot of I don't care what anyone thinks but me about me! :)
Hi Melinda have been a long term subscriber love your channel. I did comment quite a long time ago about your beautiful desk that you sit in front of where did you purchase it?
Hi! Thank you! I must have missed the question. It’s from Z Gallerie but I don’t think they make it anymore.
I think the Alma is coming out in an icy gray color later this year. Not metallic but a true gray with silver tone hardware. Love the Trevi! 😻
I bet it is beautiful but I better stop with 3 lol. :)
@@LuxPurselove Lol. 😂
I don’t understand why people buy bougie bags to travel with…I’m talking about the Christian Dior totes, Chanel totes, Goyard totes, etc. These bags are put on conveyor belts, lack the back sleeve that helps keep them stable on top of your carry on, and get dirty when stuffed under airplane seats where people put their dirty shoes! Ewwww gross! I stick my goyard tote in my washable canvas carry on bag that sits securely on top of my carryon suitcase and carry a small luxury crossbody. I have a collection of goyards, but I would never stuff one under an airplane seat!
Yeah I agree which is why they are a regret/mistake and I use a nylon Longchamp to travel with.
Hey beautiful
I loved this video plus your nails are amazing 🤩
Thank you so much!🩵
I love your videos. Can you please do a review on your Hermes Geta? Thank you!
Coming soon!
I regret buying the Louis Vuitton neverfull. Thank you
Me too!
I enjoyed this video. Sorry for your regrets, though!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Enjoyed your video. I agree with you about the LV Pochette Métis. I also bought two and returned both and will not buy again. They aren’t for me. Same goes for the LV Carryall. Bought 2 of them ( one canvas and one leather). Returned both of them. They aren’t for me either. I have a great CA in Nashville and understands what I like.
I have an LV On The Go MM in reverse monogram I want to sale. I’ve carried it maybe 5 times. It’s like new. Where do you sale your bags?
Thanks for your funny but serious videos.
Thanks Nancy. I have sold to Fashionphile and on Ebay and on my channel and my Instagram.
Your nails look fabulous!
Thank you!
TFS. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts. Would you share the name and link, if possible, for your nail polish. Looking for a good resource for at home manicure and pedicure.
Sure it’s dazzledry.com I recommend watching the video on how to apply and after that it’s super easy!
Thank you.
Watching on my birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 ❤😊!
Happy Happy Birthday my beautiful friend!!! I hope you have the most fun day ever!😘🎂🎊🎉🩷♥️💗
@@LuxPurselove thank you 😊!!
This is such a great video! But seriously I think you were speaking to me on here about being influenced. Lol
Thank you! Hey I bought 3 Neverfulls so I hear you lol!
Hi Melinda...I really took a lot of good advice away from this video. We don't have any luxury bag boutiques in Wisconsin, but we go to Chicago when I get the bug. We are going in a few weeks and I cannot wait to visit, LV, Chanel ( I don't have a Chanel in my collection), I want to visit YSL which I do not have in my collection either. We are staying at our favorite hotel, The Drake and they used to have a Chanel boutique in the hotel, it has since moved to a luxury boutique close by. I'm really interested in the Pouchette Metis...I usually carry bigger bags, so I'm afraid that I will have to trim down the items I carry... we'll see. I just watched your video regarding not selling any more bags, I was going to send you a message about the same subject wondering how I can see the bags you are selling...bad timing :) Thanks Melinda...
So glad it was helpful! If I ever do sell bags I post them on my instagram. Have a fun trip!
Hi what is the nail polish name please?
,thank you.
It’s Dazzle Dry Lotion Please.
Do you have any Dooney Bags anymore??
I sold all mine cus they were mad heavy
@jeanettenfreeland1 No I don't have any.
Hi, I am a magpie, bling make me happy. Your Fendi is jewel like so nothing fut happiness there. Hope you and yours are doing well after Helene.
It is a happy bag! Thank you we are fine in our area. So sad.
Interesting because I always thought the pochette Métis looked bulky as a crossbody. I tried it on a few times but yeah, I just never saw what was so great about it. Years ago I thought I needed the most classic of bags…the medium classic flap but when I tried it on in the boutique, I didn’t like it. It felt boxy, I didn’t like the caviar leather, and it felt cumbersome. The reissue , however, I love. I do regret not buy8ng the classic flap though and some rectangular minis that came my way , but only because I could have sold them for some hefty profits! 😂
I think it looked bulky on me too. Yes those flaps have really gone up!
one mistake is not paying close attention to the dust bag chanel gives me. i bought the pink travel flap dec 2023 and the one they gave me, the bag barely fits. now I need to go back and demand a bigger one.
I hate when they do that! For the price of that bag they better give you a bigger one!
@@LuxPurselove right lol. let's see how it goes. and yes I will be taking the xxl travel flap to show them. hoping they have a bigger one or request one for me.
The only expensive things I’m buying now and that excites me is fine jewelry! Diamonds and solid 18K or 14K. I stopped buying luxury bags a long time ago bc at the end of the day, it’s only materials. I’d rather put my money into the blings!
Love that! Jewelry is always better than leather!
What was the brand of Nail Polish she mentioned using? She spoke so fast, even with rewind I couldn't catch the name. Did anyone hear?
Dazzle Dry.
I can’t listen to my husband. I am more classic and he tends to pick trendy youthful bags. He liked that ugly Dior bowling bag
That is hilarious! Mine usually has better taste than me lol.
For dazzle dry do you use the whole system?
Yes the whole system or it doesn't work.
@@LuxPurselove thank you 😊
@@annawillis3791 You're welcome! Watch their video on how to apply it, once you do that it's super easy!
😂😂3 attempts! I remember your Hawaiian NV.
I was slow to learn my lesson lol!
I hate Hermes bags. So ugly like the shoes. Sorry to all the Hermes lovers.
I don’t understand the relevance of this to the video but I can promise you no one cares if you like them or not. No need to apologize.
