One of my best purchases is actually my Red LV Cluny MM. As a woman of color, I wear a ton of red lipstick with my mostly neutral wardrobe. Red just goes so well with white, navy, khaki, black and grey.
Poor little red bag....please just start using!! It is really stunning. I think good advice for when trying out different/bolder colours etc would be to just go for a cheaper bag - it doesn't need to be a high end luxury one.
I love suede, but boy it does not wear well. Whether they are $700 shoes or $70 shoes suede just doesn't wear. I bought an expensive pair of suede booties in the fall and they are already starting to look worn. I think the lesson here is it's ok to buy suede, just not high end suede.
It's 1:30am in Australia!!!! Me: oh I got a notification Husband: I swear if it's the Louis Vuitton lady I'm sleeping in the guest room Me: shhhh I can't hear
I'm not a red person, but I am a navy person and if you wear a lot of navy, red accessories are the best. I bought these patent leather red ballet flats from JCrew years ago and I wore them into the ground. They jazz up a boring outfit without actually having to wear a lot of color. While I would not buy the LV bag, cause I don't have that kind of money to waste, I do think red accessories can be worn by people who don't typically wear red.
I love how practical you are with the luxury items you purchase. I’m 23 and starting to build a luxury collection. My thin Gucci belt was my first purchase. I love how it’s simple but still makes a little statement. I was nervous about buying it because i wasn’t sure how much use i would get out of it. But i love it and have worn it quite a bit! I have learned to save up for luxury items over time rather than blowing money spontaneously. Your channel is helping me decide on a luxury handbag that’s both practical and timeless. Something that will really be worth my money. Right now I’m leaning towards the small fendi 2jours!
Perhaps the key is to buying vibrant colours in classic styles- like a double flap, marmont etc- so you know that you love the shape and it’s utility but are having fun with the colour.
The Cartier bracelet is to die for. Such a sweet gift and whenever you look down on it you think of your husband and the love he has for you, love this. 💕
I so agree with you about the Favorite MM. I have her in DE and absolutely love her. I saw your video on it last year which helped me take the plunge in May and I couldn't be happier. Love your point of view and great tips.
Hi Shea. I've learned that I'm not a pop of color person, period, and it doesn't matter what the color is -- red, orange, blue, whatever. Like you, I appreciate how beautiful colorful accessories are. And I admit freely that pop of color accessories can look very good with my neutral wardrobe. But I don't enjoy wearing them. For me, it's all about black, beige, navy, and maybe the occasional blush. Fortunately, I learned this lesson much less expensively with MIchael Kors and Kate Spade, not with Louis Vuitton and Chanel.
Totally know what you mean!!! It’s great when you finally discover that! For some reason my purple marmont is the exception to that rule for me...but yes, I’m a neutral girl at heart!!❤️
Thank you so so much just love your videos last couple years I've been battling cancer and almost.. just gave up..... You lift me back up to enjoy my clothes again love ya
Wow, your hair is a lot darker. It looks very pretty. I absolutely LOVE that you encourage cleaning out the closet. I am such a collector and we have such a small place. Now, don't toss those great colored items. These are SEASONAL! Not poor choices, both the red and the orange will come around again on the guitar - in the summer. You may find a cute pair of red sandals that in summer or spring just complete you. The other thing is the purple is more calming. Now, boxy verses other types of bags, yes, look at that. I need to get a pair of nude winkle pickers like yours. One of the things that I know for myself is my bag has to have a flap over, just as all the bags you have shown in this video. Thank you for the video.
Absolutely crazy the “bag psychology”. The bad purchases teach us so much. I’ve also realised that trying to add colours (especially red) cause you “need it” will not work out. If one loves only black bags: go girl. I’m not a red person either...unless I find a cool red double flap with silver hardware... Oh crap, why are there so many options? Loved the video 😘😘❤️❤️
Yes there is definitely bag psychology hahaha!! So glad you enjoyed the video too! A red double flap with silver hardware sounds pretty good to me LOL!
Love this video, thank you for posting!! I've been on the fence about purchasing a favorite but think I'll make it my first non pre-loved purchase soon! :)
If you haven't worn them that much than those Louboutins just look like poor quality. I don't spend a ton of money on stilettos because I find that unless you live a real lux life, they're prone to more wear and tear. The heels get stuck in the spaces between pavement and the pointy toes hit things, with that said it still usually takes about 5 months of regular wear to work use for me see the type of damage on those shoes. What kind of low quality suede did they use?
Stilettos only work if you are only walking a little, will be doing a lot of sitting and will be driven/driving there and from. So out to dinner or watch the ballet. Biggest mistake, stilettos at a wedding. What a mess! It had all the worst aspects. Dancing, standing for long periods and lot's of walking. And that was skipping the massive car parking walk by being dropped off at the door. You don't have to necessarily have a lux life to wear stilettos, but you have to be very selective about what events you wear them to.
Louboutains are the most uncomfortable shoes ever.....I have black patent leather ones, wore them maybe three times at most. I bought red soles from Louboutain and had them fitted before I wore them. Those suede ones look really swanky.
Speedy b DE has been my absolute favorite purchase! It has held up through the snow, rain and everything else! The WORST 6 key cles just because it cracked and the interior was trashed about 6 months. It was defiantly a heartbreak to let it go.
Hey Shea! The Hermès orange is such a cool color. Maybe try it with a white tee and jeans- something really neutral. I think the orange shade would look good with LV monogram or DE. You make everything look good. And the Pasadena is so chic- a red bag always elevates an outfit. I’m with you on WOC- gorgeous but they don’t work for my lifestyle. I have mini bags for evenings out. Thanks for this great video- I think us luxury addicts do our best to research but sometimes we don’t know until we start to use something.
I love a pop of red. I don't wear red clothing that often, but I use a red purse all of December and find a neutral outfit with red shoes I LOVE! Great video.
I think it is so true that you have to go with what makes you happy when you see and use something. Too bad about the suede Louboutins. I find that if I spray them regularly with suede protector, it helps preserve the color from fading. Fun and informative video as always!
This was my favorite video so far! My husband got me the Purple Gucci for Christmas because I feel in love with the one you had. I sometimes wonder will I love this in 5 years? I totally think I will. It’s just such a special bag! The Favorite MM is also one my my favorites as well. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks for sharing this info with us. I agree with so much of what you said. I have a suggestion for people who do want to expand or diversify their collections. Before buying a luxe product, try a less expensive item to see if you reach for it. I found this especially helpful with getting a red bag. It taught me that I would not reach for a red bag or at least not reach for it nearly enough to spend the cost of luxury. If you find the inexpensive option works, then buying it in a luxury product will work even better.
The purple velvet bag really pops with your new hair! It looks so gorgeous on you. That’s definitely a piece I wouldn’t have expected but I can totally tell you love it 😊 And I agree, hate suede too. Why do designers keep making shoes out of suede? It makes no sense. Great picks Shea!
KWShops i love watching your videos.. they're very helpful when making purse decisions!! Im a huge LV lover and have done some videos, but it's been a few months and i need to do reviews on new LV purchases ASAP..Please Keep Up The Great vids!! Xo ❤
hello Shea! it's night time in my country and I was about to sleep, but when I saw this vid I just had to watch it first to have a good night sleep! hahaha always been a silent admirer of ur vids and how u always learn from every purchases u made and inspire us. thanks so much!
Shea, the LV red bag is absolutely gorgeous! It is a perfect size and perfect shade of red. Goes so well with blue, black and white. However, if you are truly not happy with it, sell it. It will sell quickly.
Great video as always Shea! Red is my favourite colour and I keep going to add a red bag to my collection but I just can't bite the bullet for some reason! I think it's because I know it won't fit my wardrobe the way more neutral colours will! It's so hard to let go of the less wise bags I've bought in the past, sentimental value just keeps me hanging on! x
I have the LV Flandrin bag with the red and I LOVE it. It’s just the right amount of red without being too much. I love it for an all black outfit. I wear neutral often, so I do love bright pops of color in my bags or shoes.
Hi Shea, I love all your videos. I get so excited when you upload new videos. This might be a lot to ask, but can you do a video showing a week's worth of outfits? Thanks for all your advice :)
Great vid, as always!! My best luxury purchase (in terms of getting the most use out of it) is my LV Speedy 25 B in Damier Ebene. It’s so easy to wear! Style wise I love my Pochette Metis more, but the Speedy is just so care free and I don’t stress about rain, snow, people spilling drinks on me at the bar, etc. Lol. I even carried it two days ago at the Eagles Super Bowl Parade in Philly knowing full well that there’d be millions of partying people around me. And I wasn’t even stressed about it. Haha.
Love the purple Gucci bag. I was surprised to see the red Louis Vuitton bag on the worst list. I remember the video you did on it over the summer. It is cute though.
I completely agree with the sentiment that sometimes we buy things because we feel like we need them! In my case, I try to tell myself I should be more open-minded and try new things and I settle in my old ways. Anyway, you learn a bit every day. Love your work ;)
I know exactly what you mean by “fulfilling a need”. I think that’s exactly how my brain works too. With me it has something to do with my perfectionism in combination with an underlying urge to create collections of the things I love and that I’m interested in. The way you describe it is exactly what happens to me all the time with all sorts of things. Like when I got interested in wine or different styles of artisan tea or even fragrances... I tend to want to complete my collections with things that are still missing even if I don’t really even like them.
Hard to find one big enough for all those store reward cards, special ID and door opening cards, credit and debit, business cards, built in change purse, coupons and medical and auto stuff. Cards, cards everywhere. Ahhh. Sure I missed something. Drivers license.
Black, White, and Red (including burgundy and berry) is pretty much all I wear. I just never gravitate toward purple. The LV red bag is right up my alley!
Love the video, and good reasoning behind buying bags that suit your taste and bring you joy! And I love my Chanel boy even though it's boxy, but I have never tried the Dior to compare.
Its so true, your comments on the red bag, for some reason over the years I have "NEEDED" a red bag and got them and never used them Now when I think my collection is missing something or oh I want another bag and one side of my brain thinks red the other side, Yells no looser, - no more wasted money on red bags!!!!
Also not an orange person. But this Hermes belt on the orange side with the blue shirt you are wearing in the video and simple blue jeans would be a perfect combination! Blue and orange are a full contrast colours and look stunning together. :)
Shea, the Pigalle Pumps are my favorite! I do think with your coloring you should use your red LV bag! anytime I have seen you in anything red you look amazing!!! jump out of your comfort zone a little more beautiful!
Hey Shea! New subscriber and I have been watching all your videos back to back! My fiancee is like: Of course, Shea again! Love your style, video ideas, sense of humor, everything! I just wanted to tell you I would love to see zara and/or hm hauls for us that live in Europe and cannot go to Nordstrom. Keep doing what you do, you are killing it!
I have a red bag and I don't reach for it that much either. With that being said, I do love reaching for it around the holidays such as Christmas, V-Day, Memorial Day and 4th of July. I'm rly happy I've held onto it for that reason. I always get so many compliments when I wear it also. Anyway, great video as always 😊
I actually reach for my colorful bags much more than my classics! I felt like, when I was first collecting, I needed to add staples. However, as time went on, I was gravitating toward the patterned, limited edition, unusual designs and totally ignoring my Speedy, Neverfull, etc. I agree that you don't have to get something that isn't you just because you feel you should have that option in your collection. I love your velvet Gucci! It's probably my favorite!
i appreciate this video! i definitely have to talk myself down from buying unneccessary bags and slg's, especially since i have a hard time selling items. I think my collections is pretty timeless and will last a lifetime if i couldn't buy another thing again. there are only 2 bags that i yearn for deep down inside that i probably will never own, so my priorties are somewhat shifting. great video as usual hun... have a good work week.
I just love the purple bag!! Oh my that is gorgeous. I would really appreciate being able to see the price point for each bag pretty please! Thanks much
Loved this video not only for your recommendations, but it really shows you have to go with your gut when making purchases. I'm trying to be more mindful about things I buy and you were absolutely right about getting something because you love it, not because you need to 'round out your wardrobe'. And not buying something because it reminds you of something else! I put that into action on my last shoe purchase, thinking "they're too expensive... I'll get one (or two or three) dupes while still wishing i had the designer version" Such a good decision not to do that because you usually end up getting what you really wanted all along, but wasted money on nonsense in the meantime.
I love just how much you love your purple bag! But it pains me that that’s the one you love and never wear your candy red one! I think the red is so beautiful, but that’s what makes us all unique! You rock everything you wear Shea!
So sad to hear about the Hermès belt making the bad choice category. I agree with your comments on the Cartier Love bracelet. I love mine and agree it’s simple but adds just the right touch to any outfit. My worst luxury decision was probably the Pigalle Christian Louboutin pumps. I still love them but rarely reach for them because they kill my feet. Love the video and the Hermès belt is on my wish list and agree with your suggestion of black/brown. Thanks!
I completely agree with all of this! I would recommend keeping the red bag and selling the WOC. You might down the line figure out more ways to wear the red bag and regret getting rid of it but if you aren’t a WOC person now you never will be. I’ve made that mistake several times before I learned my lesson haha.
I think this concept of video is awesome! It's so relatable with purchasing any item and then realizing it doesn't suit your life style. Thanks for always being so honest and direct with all your information. I love all your videos and appreciate the variety of content you make 👏🏻👩🏻💻🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️
Hi Shea I have to say my favorite is LV never full MM ... I use it a lot !! Like the size and fits all my junk! I am not a small bag woman ... I do want to get the speedy .. I think I would love it and would wear it all the time!!
Loved this video!! I couldn’t agree more with choosing a bag that is perfect for you and your style and not just what you think you should get. I would love to see a luxury shoe video, comparing price, comfort, and style! I just love all your videos, thank you. ❤️❤️
What a great video!! Thank you for your positive energy and for sharing your thoughts on your best and worst. My favvvvv is your Gucci velvet bag!! It is so vibrant and a total show stopper :) Also, it is so impressive how you can pronounce all the names within each brand lol!! I literally butcher every name when I try and pronounce them lolol! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your channel! I was such a mess fashion- and style-wise, but thanks to you I am learning so much! And today I bought my first bag! LV Favorite PM :)
Shock-horror! Your review on the Gucci WOC made me want to get one... now I’m second guessing that decision... 😳 it can stay on my wish-list until I see it in person. It’s just too pretty. I watched a couple of videos on the Loubies, and you’re not the first person to complain that they don’t hold up terribly well, which is a pity as they are such gorgeous shoes and for that price-point, you’d expect them to hold up better.... I have a red bag (LV bastille in empreinte), which I wear all the time. I love the vibrant colour on the Gucci 💜💜💜 Thanks for another great video!! 💚😊
I LOVE my Favorite and you inspired me to get the monogram strap. It is my go to! I actually sold my Neverfull. Didn’t love that it didn’t have a secure closure and the straps were too short. Love your videos! ❤️
I didn't understand how you could / could not be a "red" or "orange" or whatever colour person at first. But when you brought up the purple velvet Gucci Marmont, this'll sound crazy, but you sorta kinda glowed. Like it totally made sense. I don't know know what it was, but it just. made. sense. Loved this video!
Love your hair - looks stunning! I totally get the whole suede issue. I learned my lesson after purchasing 2 pairs of Ferragamo suede boots that were gorgeous but every time I looked down and saw a scuff - I would cringe!! I wore them to death but vowed to never spend beaucoup bucks on suede shoes/boots. I sometimes wish that instead of spending so much money on other high end bags, I would have waited to buy the real champion - the Chanel Jumbo Flap!! I'm now waiting on the LV Pochette Metis - 1,000 people on the LV waiting list.
One of my best purchases is actually my Red LV Cluny MM. As a woman of color, I wear a ton of red lipstick with my mostly neutral wardrobe. Red just goes so well with white, navy, khaki, black and grey.
I know what you mean!!! The red cluny sounds fab!
Girl! Life is too short to settle for purchases that you regret. Sell 3 items,even if you loose some money, and buy 1 item that you love 😍😉
Great philosophy for sure!!! Thank you!
I never dislike replica products, except for shoes, this is a store I think is worth recommending #lyxbga
Poor little red bag....please just start using!! It is really stunning.
I think good advice for when trying out different/bolder colours etc would be to just go for a cheaper bag - it doesn't need to be a high end luxury one.
Yes that's definitely good advice!
Sell me the red bag 💼
I love suede, but boy it does not wear well. Whether they are $700 shoes or $70 shoes suede just doesn't wear. I bought an expensive pair of suede booties in the fall and they are already starting to look worn. I think the lesson here is it's ok to buy suede, just not high end suede.
It's 1:30am in Australia!!!!
Me: oh I got a notification
Husband: I swear if it's the Louis Vuitton lady I'm sleeping in the guest room
Me: shhhh I can't hear
Norah that's hilarious!!! 😂🤣
The Louis Vuitton lady 😂😂😂! I hope he sleeps well in the guest room!
Norah😂
Love this 😂😂
Best comment of the day @sheawhitney

Yes thats definitely a good thought!!!
Red goes with everything girl! Just wear the red bag! It makes the day fun
Shea, please film an updated video of your handbag collection! ❤️
I definitely need to do this very soon!!! :)
That purple Gucci bag is so gorgeous! 😍 and the Cartier jewelry too 💖
OMG that velvet Gucci bag. *falls over dead*
The Cartier bracelet is to die for. Such a sweet gift and whenever you look down on it you think of your husband and the love he has for you, love this. 💕
Love this honest list! It can be hard not to get too influenced by others as to what items we “need” in our collections.
I so agree with you about the Favorite MM. I have her in DE and absolutely love her. I saw your video on it last year which helped me take the plunge in May and I couldn't be happier. Love your point of view and great tips.
Maybe the purple is your red. Not everybody needs the same "essentials".
Agreed!
Hi Shea. I've learned that I'm not a pop of color person, period, and it doesn't matter what the color is -- red, orange, blue, whatever. Like you, I appreciate how beautiful colorful accessories are. And I admit freely that pop of color accessories can look very good with my neutral wardrobe. But I don't enjoy wearing them. For me, it's all about black, beige, navy, and maybe the occasional blush. Fortunately, I learned this lesson much less expensively with MIchael Kors and Kate Spade, not with Louis Vuitton and Chanel.
Totally know what you mean!!! It’s great when you finally discover that! For some reason my purple marmont is the exception to that rule for me...but yes, I’m a neutral girl at heart!!❤️
Thank you so so much just love your videos last couple years I've been battling cancer and almost.. just gave up..... You lift me back up to enjoy my clothes again love ya
Wow, your hair is a lot darker. It looks very pretty. I absolutely LOVE that you encourage cleaning out the closet. I am such a collector and we have such a small place.

Yes there is definitely bag psychology hahaha!! So glad you enjoyed the video too! A red double flap with silver hardware sounds pretty good to me LOL!
I like classic, dark colors usually but I do have a pink Kate Spade purse that I love.
Great advice for a novice like me!! I love that you keep all of your videos upbeat and honest!! Thank you!
Love this video, thank you for posting!! I've been on the fence about purchasing a favorite but think I'll make it my first non pre-loved purchase soon! :)

You don't have to necessarily have a lux life to wear stilettos, but you have to be very selective about what events you wear them to.
Omg! How did you survive. I’d be too weak & either cut out early or go barefoot.
Louboutains are the most uncomfortable shoes ever.....I have black patent leather ones, wore them maybe three times at most. I bought red soles from Louboutain and had them fitted before I wore them. Those suede ones look really swanky.
Speedy b DE has been my absolute favorite purchase! It has held up through the snow, rain and everything else! The WORST 6 key cles just because it cracked and the interior was trashed about 6 months. It was defiantly a heartbreak to let it go.
The purple velvet! OMG perfect!
Hah, love how the purple bag "made your heart happy"! It's my goal to end up feeling like that about 80% of my wardrobe this year :D
That purple Gucci bag is so beautiful! Love all of your favorites! You always give such great advice.
Hey Shea! The Hermès orange is such a cool color. Maybe try it with a white tee and jeans- something really neutral. I think the orange shade would look good with LV monogram or DE.

And I agree, hate suede too. Why do designers keep making shoes out of suede? It makes no sense.

Yay!! Thank you love! And yes, no idea about the suede shoes...dumb! But I fell for it and bought them!! Boooo! I guess you live & learn!❤️😘

Meghan Marie thanks so much!! 💗 let’s see some bag reviews!
Love love love suede. Cobbler before wear, spray them. Take care of them like one would a purse.
The purple Gucci bag is beautiful and it maches you
hello Shea! it's night time in my country and I was about to sleep, but when I saw this vid I just had to watch it first to have a good night sleep! hahaha always been a silent admirer of ur vids and how u always learn from every purchases u made and inspire us. thanks so much!
Awe thanks for commenting!!! And thank you for watching my videos! Much love to you and have a good nights sleep!❤️❤️❤️
Great video! Loved hearing your thought process on these luxury items!
Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed!
That red bag is absolutely gorgeous! Please wear it more, I know I would
Shea, the LV red bag is absolutely gorgeous! It is a perfect size and perfect shade of red. Goes so well with blue, black and white. However, if you are truly not happy with it, sell it. It will sell quickly.
You have a great collection. I absolutely love the LV and Gucci Velvet bags. They are both so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as always Shea! Red is my favourite colour and I keep going to add a red bag to my collection but I just can't bite the bullet for some reason! I think it's because I know it won't fit my wardrobe the way more neutral colours will!

I bought the favorite in monogram and i also purchased the pochette metis strap to wear with my favorite. I love it. Thanks for the advice.
Very informative blog! thanks for sharing your opinion (Noted)...I love your purple velvet Gucci bag. take care and God bless you and your family..
Hi Shea, I love all your videos. I get so excited when you upload new videos. This might be a lot to ask, but can you do a video showing a week's worth of outfits? Thanks for all your advice :)

The way you describe it is exactly what happens to me all the time with all sorts of things. Like when I got interested in wine or different styles of artisan tea or even fragrances... I tend to want to complete my collections with things that are still missing even if I don’t really even like them.
The red LV and the Gucci WOC are stunning. You could wear that red with anything! The WOC too!
Yes I agree!! I just choose my other bags over them for some reason. But I still really like the red LV and Gucci WOC!
I hope you keep them! They are happy bags IMO! Makes me smile looking at them!
I’d love to see you do a wallet comparison! I am constantly looking for the perfect style for daily use
Yea I should do that!!! :) I don't have as many wallets as others though!
Hard to find one big enough for all those store reward cards, special ID and door opening cards, credit and debit, business cards, built in change purse, coupons and medical and auto stuff. Cards, cards everywhere. Ahhh. Sure I missed something. Drivers license.
I love that you are so honest and we could learn so much from your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Black, White, and Red (including burgundy and berry) is pretty much all I wear. I just never gravitate toward purple. The LV red bag is right up my alley!
Great video and I totally relate. Love the color pop ideas but seldom find myself going there with bags and shoes.
Thank you for sharing another great video!! Also, I love love the darker hair on you ❤️
I love the Purple Bag! But then I once had a set of bright red luggage that was perfect for the 1960s.
Love the video, and good reasoning behind buying bags that suit your taste and bring you joy! And I love my Chanel boy even though it's boxy, but I have never tried the Dior to compare.
Thank you so much Jane!!! I recognize your face from the book! :)
Its so true, your comments on the red bag, for some reason over the years I have "NEEDED" a red bag and got them and never used them Now when I think my collection is missing something or oh I want another bag and one side of my brain thinks red the other side, Yells no looser, - no more wasted money on red bags!!!!
I LOVE your LV red bag!
OMGosh 😍 it’s gorgeous! Red is my favorite color to wear.
Also not an orange person. But this Hermes belt on the orange side with the blue shirt you are wearing in the video and simple blue jeans would be a perfect combination! Blue and orange are a full contrast colours and look stunning together. :)
Shea, the Pigalle Pumps are my favorite! I do think with your coloring you should use your red LV bag! anytime I have seen you in anything red you look amazing!!! jump out of your comfort zone a little more beautiful!
Thank you for your honesty....the darker hair really suits you....
Hey Shea! New subscriber and I have been watching all your videos back to back! My fiancee is like: Of course, Shea again! Love your style, video ideas, sense of humor, everything! I just wanted to tell you I would love to see zara and/or hm hauls for us that live in Europe and cannot go to Nordstrom. Keep doing what you do, you are killing it!
The Cartier jewelry looks amazing with your skin tone!
I really enjoy watching these kinds of videos, it’s very helpful when purchasing a pricey item. Love your picks and honesty. 😘
I have a red bag and I don't reach for it that much either. With that being said, I do love reaching for it around the holidays such as Christmas, V-Day, Memorial Day and 4th of July. I'm rly happy I've held onto it for that reason. I always get so many compliments when I wear it also. Anyway, great video as always 😊
Yes that’s definitely a great point!!! Thank you!❤️
I actually reach for my colorful bags much more than my classics! I felt like, when I was first collecting, I needed to add staples. However, as time went on, I was gravitating toward the patterned, limited edition, unusual designs and totally ignoring my Speedy, Neverfull, etc. I agree that you don't have to get something that isn't you just because you feel you should have that option in your collection. I love your velvet Gucci! It's probably my favorite!
i appreciate this video! i definitely have to talk myself down from buying unneccessary bags and slg's, especially since i have a hard time selling items. I think my collections is pretty timeless and will last a lifetime if i couldn't buy another thing again. there are only 2 bags that i yearn for deep down inside that i probably will never own, so my priorties are somewhat shifting. great video as usual hun... have a good work week.
Aww I remember when you showed us the red louis...I loved it so much!! And the purple gucci bag is just beyond amazing!! Sooooo pretty!!!!
I just love the purple bag!! Oh my that is gorgeous. I would really appreciate being able to see the price point for each bag pretty please! Thanks much
Love these videos! I agree with you regarding the Red bag and WOC. Although I lust after them on other people they just don’t make sense for me.
Great video, and tips! Just helps to put some extra thought into my next purchases!
So glad you liked it!!! Thank you!
Loved this video not only for your recommendations, but it really shows you have to go with your gut when making purchases. I'm trying to be more mindful about things I buy and you were absolutely right about getting something because you love it, not because you need to 'round out your wardrobe'. And not buying something because it reminds you of something else! I put that into action on my last shoe purchase, thinking "they're too expensive... I'll get one (or two or three) dupes while still wishing i had the designer version" Such a good decision not to do that because you usually end up getting what you really wanted all along, but wasted money on nonsense in the meantime.
I love just how much you love your purple bag! But it pains me that that’s the one you love and never wear your candy red one! I think the red is so beautiful, but that’s what makes us all unique! You rock everything you wear Shea!
So sad to hear about the Hermès belt making the bad choice category. I agree with your comments on the Cartier Love bracelet. I love mine and agree it’s simple but adds just the right touch to any outfit. My worst luxury decision was probably the Pigalle Christian Louboutin pumps. I still love them but rarely reach for them because they kill my feet. Love the video and the Hermès belt is on my wish list and agree with your suggestion of black/brown. Thanks!
I completely agree with all of this! I would recommend keeping the red bag and selling the WOC. You might down the line figure out more ways to wear the red bag and regret getting rid of it but if you aren’t a WOC person now you never will be. I’ve made that mistake several times before I learned my lesson haha.
I love red accessories! Adds a pop of color! Please give that red bag another chance. Love your channel 💕
My favorite handbag is the Speedy B 30! Your videos were my inspiration when buying it. ❤️
I think this concept of video is awesome! It's so relatable with purchasing any item and then realizing it doesn't suit your life style. Thanks for always being so honest and direct with all your information. I love all your videos and appreciate the variety of content you make 👏🏻👩🏻💻🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️
Your Cartier video is what got me hooked on your channel! ❤️
Hi Shea
I have to say my favorite is LV never full MM ... I use it a lot !! Like the size and fits all my junk! I am not a small bag woman ... I do want to get the speedy .. I think I would love it and would wear it all the time!!
Loved this video!! I couldn’t agree more with choosing a bag that is perfect for you and your style and not just what you think you should get. I would love to see a luxury shoe video, comparing price, comfort, and style! I just love all your videos, thank you. ❤️❤️
What a great video!! Thank you for your positive energy and for sharing your thoughts on your best and worst. My favvvvv is your Gucci velvet bag!! It is so vibrant and a total show stopper :) Also, it is so impressive how you can pronounce all the names within each brand lol!! I literally butcher every name when I try and pronounce them lolol! ❤️❤️❤️
Love ALL your videos-- but this one was so helpful to me ! So, THANK YOU!!Keep your videos coming! ❤️
Thank you so much for your channel! I was such a mess fashion- and style-wise, but thanks to you I am learning so much! And today I bought my first bag! LV Favorite PM :)
Shock-horror! Your review on the Gucci WOC made me want to get one... now I’m second guessing that decision... 😳 it can stay on my wish-list until I see it in person. It’s just too pretty.
I watched a couple of videos on the Loubies, and you’re not the first person to complain that they don’t hold up terribly well, which is a pity as they are such gorgeous shoes and for that price-point, you’d expect them to hold up better....
I have a red bag (LV bastille in empreinte), which I wear all the time. I love the vibrant colour on the Gucci 💜💜💜
Thanks for another great video!! 💚😊
I love your makeup in this video! Beautiful 😍
The red lv bag looks nice with your hair and skin tone
I LOVE my Favorite and you inspired me to get the monogram strap. It is my go to! I actually sold my Neverfull. Didn’t love that it didn’t have a secure closure and the straps were too short. Love your videos! ❤️
Awe yay!!! That makes me so happy Sarah!! The mono strap really is AWESOME!
Hi Shea, i just wanted to say thar I always enjoy watching your videos! 😘😘😘
Awe thank you Cindy!!! That's so nice of you!!!
This red LV bag is beyond beautiful.
I have that mono strap too and it is one of the best accessory pieces I own.
So gorgeous Shea! Loved watching this :)
Loved this video, videos like this really help when deciding what to buy 😀 xx
I didn't understand how you could / could not be a "red" or "orange" or whatever colour person at first. But when you brought up the purple velvet Gucci Marmont, this'll sound crazy, but you sorta kinda glowed. Like it totally made sense. I don't know know what it was, but it just. made. sense. Loved this video!
You should get a twilly for the handel of the red louis vuitton! It will make it more casual and versatile. Kisses
Love your hair - looks stunning! I totally get the whole suede issue. I learned my lesson after purchasing 2 pairs of Ferragamo suede boots that were gorgeous but every time I looked down and saw a scuff - I would cringe!! I wore them to death but vowed to never spend beaucoup bucks on suede shoes/boots. I sometimes wish that instead of spending so much money on other high end bags, I would have waited to buy the real champion - the Chanel Jumbo Flap!! I'm now waiting on the LV Pochette Metis - 1,000 people on the LV waiting list.
I love everything! And the magenta/purple Gucci bag 👍🏻it's gorgeous!
Great video! I purchased a red bag a couple months ago and still have not used it!
