Cute vlog, Ajda. Fresh perspective on what the city has to offer. It resonated with me when you said that you can be sad and happy at the same time and that you will go with the flow and see how you feel. Perfect ending of the Vlog with the New York song. 🙂
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and that my thoughts resonated with you. It's always so nice to feel connected with others through times like this and these videos. ❤️ xoxo
Happy New Year to you and yours. Grief is a strange beast, it'll hit you when you least expect it, out of nowhere. Had a terrible 2023 and 2024, in that regard. I just hope for a kinder and softer 2025.
Thank you Kat for sharing. I'm so sorry for what you've had to endure as well. You're spot on when you say grief will hit you when you least expect it. In those moments when it hits, I try to think about how lucky I've been to experience a great love. I hope 2025 is kinder to you as well and that you receive all the strength and encouragement ❤️❤️❤️
This was soooooooo much fun!!!!!!! I loved it, and am going to rewatch later, and pass it on! You are such a style icon, your outfits were all so pretty…I especially loved the pantsuit and your NYE look…dress, hair and makeup on point! Your hair looks so lovely curled, too! So many fun places to see, and the NYE party looked fun…loved the chandeliers in there! You and your hubby are adorable! Happy and healthy 2025!! 😊🎉
You're so sweet, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I've had much fun playing around with hair styles and new make-up looks so your words mean a lot 🥰 Happy and healthy 2025 to you too! 🥂
Lovely vlog, Ajda!!! YES pls do a Paris vintage finds video, that would be so amazing!! We just returned from our trip and we are already planning our return for our 20th wedding anniversary next January!! The shopping opportunities are endless, we could not get it all done this time lol 🎄❤️
Thank you so much! I'll definitely plan on a Paris vintage finds video with some of my favorite places and items I found 🤩 And congrats on the upcoming anniversary, what a wonderful way to celebrate! 🥂
Hi Ajda, I wanted to let you know that I’ve been really enjoying your videos since I’ve discovered your channel a few months ago. I like your style and taste, as well as your travel and NY related content (especially in the Christmas season) 🎄🥰. I live in Europe, but my mom’s from NY and I love the city and Long Island ❤. I saw you were using Bulgari “pour femmes” - I was so surprised, because I thought it had been discontinued? I used to own this perfume many years ago (one of my favorites). I’m sorry for your recent loss and sending you strength during this time.
Hi Nicole! You are so sweet, your kind words truly mean a lot, THANK YOU! 🥰 It sounds like you have the best of both worlds - living in Europe but (hopefully) being able to visit NY often! So funny story about the Bvlgari perfume... I've had it for YEARS! Possibly 10+? I have this bad habit of accumulating perfumes faster than I finish them, so I've put myself on a perfume ban until I finish a bottle 😂 While I'm sure the scent has evolved over time chemically, it surprisingly still has the same familiar scent to when it was brand new! Thank you for your words of encouragement as well. It's been tough, but I am proud of the strength I've gained and really appreciate all the support. Thank you dear ❤️
@@ajda_nyc unfortunately I haven't been able to visit NY for almost 11 years now and I miss it very much. I'll be back one day I hope 🙂! We have an autistic son and are only traveling within Europe for now, but hopefully will be able to take him on longer flights again one day (when he was a baby and toddler we did) 🍀🍀🍀 I can totally relate to the accumulation of perfumes 😃 - I do the same thing! Thanks for your response 💗
@@nicoles9764 Aww, I can understand that. It's wonderful you can travel within Europe for now (so many great things to see within little distance!). NY will be waiting for you and I'm sure you'll see familiar and new changes. I think I just love perfume bottles too much and that's why I go through them so slowly 😂
Thanks for this video. I’ve been lucky enough to be in NYC over the holidays in the past and it is truly magical. I wanted to say I am truly sorry for your loss. Grief never goes away but we somehow manage to live with it. I’m glad you were kind to yourself. Too many people are not and just suppress what they feel. On a lighter note, I’d love to see a video of all your vintage finds (and thanks for responding to my question about the beautiful MaxMara coat when I asked in another video. I’d love your opinion on the Dyson corrale. I have an older model and it doesn’t charge well so considering buying the new one. I also loved that Chanel bag. I looked at a similar one (new) in NYC when I was there in the summer but I don’t remember what that style is called. Take care and looking forward to the next video.
Thank you, Sandra, for your kind words and support, I appreciate it so much. 🙏 And yes to a vintage finds video! I may do a Paris one and then a separate New York one - what do you think? As for the Dyson Corrale. Pros: Heats up really fast, and works well with the first pass (for curling and straightening). Cons: Heavy, charge only stays ~20-30 mins, bulky to travel with. Overall I'm happy with the purchase for my everyday use. I do wish it was lighter and that the charging cord wasn't so bulky (it's like a laptop cord!). I brought my older, lighter flat iron to Europe because it took up less space in my suitcase, but it died... Clearly, the Dyson is a workhorse that can't be beaten! 😂 Also the Chanel bag I'm wearing in the video is the Paris-Dubai Small Messenger Bag. I would look on the pre-loved market as sometimes it appears and there are similar ones with that crescent-like shape as well. I've linked to a few below! On TheRealReal: rstyle.me/+FraADvLnMBTFTElr5yxBrg (same bag but in size Medium) On Rebag: rstyle.me/+XVd1DVyyS_XNMn_g8QsQFA and rstyle.me/+8ecdFGQZIGYQu5XubnWJiQ On Farfetch: rstyle.me/+W8DETujccrvMC4ctKXLFBQ
@ thanks so much for your quick response on the Dyson and the Chanel bag, I really appreciate it. Would love to see two separate videos on the vintage finds - that way I will also know where to go the next time I’m in Manhattan. Sadly, I didn’t do any second hand shopping while I was there in the summer. I’m excited about a pair of Stuart Weitzman flats I just purchased secondhand today ☺️Hope you have a great week and thanks again..
♡♡♡
