    130 Pounds for a headband or Prada hairclips😂 no, I would NEVER pay that kind of money for hair accessories...keep losing them. As for watches... the swiss company "Tissot" makes decent ones for a good price. Wearing a watch that looks just like Cartier or Rolex doesn't really seem safer to me. The junkies won't realize its a dupe until after they punched you in the face and took it and looked at it closely. I love the Lottie, got a small one in taupe❤ The Fendi bag is really pretty, wow!

    Sophie - I have so many thoughts on this video! First of all I love that you are wearing the H&M x Pringle sweater. I have the same one and I remember dragging my husband all over London on our pre covid trip over so I could have the same one as you! I still wear mine as well. Also I hear you on the luxury items and being nervous to wear them out. I work in Philadelphia, PA US two days a week and I wear nothing nice when I go up, or I carry items in my nondescript tote to put on once I get to work. Let's just say on the other three days of the week, I'm the most blinged out and best dressed person working from home! I have a Cartier tank and also the same pink Tag as you, plus other luxury watches and jewelry but I don't wear them anywhere. It's pretty sad that others feel they are entitled to steal and brag about what they've stolen but also I don't want to be threatened over something that can be replaced. I feel like winter is easier because things can be concealed under coats. Anyway, thanks for this video, I am enjoying the daily uploads!

    On personal safety... I come from a law enforcement family. They always say, look aware of your enviroment. Make eye contact with people. Look like you mean 'business'. Don't fumble for phone or keys on the street. Don't open a map on the street (tourist). And DON'T walk with your eyes glued to your phone. People everywhere don't even watch where they are going because their phone has ALL their attention.
    In a store with a shopping cart, I strap my bag into the child seat part and keep it zipped. On the street, I prefer to wear a crossbody vs. shoulder. Because if someone thinks they are gonna run off with it, they are gonna take me with them. Plus, you can turn the bag around so that the logo on some will be facing in toward your body, if you feel a little unsafe. Same with the shopping cart. They will have to run off with the cart too because the bag is strapped in. Haha! ❤

    When on the street, be very vigilant, hide your valuables, wear your bag crossbody or under your coat, and just look very badass and unafraid. Walk with confidence and purpose and don’t make eye contact. These punks are looking for easy, vulnerable, unaware snatches. I used to walk in some rough areas when I lived downtown in a major city, and never had a problem. I would dress down for the really bad parts and cross the street as necessary. Some of it was luck, but some of it was situational awareness and attitude.

    Listen, re the watches - as a police sergeant’s wife, a key point is being missed here. Criminals will NOT stop to think “gee is that a fake?” It means NOTHING to them to rob you and ask questions later. They do not give a flying 💨 about whether they traumatize someone. If it’s a fake they’ll just sort it out of their haul at the end of the day. To reduce the possibility of being a target, I would personally just not wear those items in public; take your nice watch, your rings, etc off and put them in your bag before you leave work. You could even put your designer bag in a cheaper looking tote so the whole thing looks nondescript. And KEEP your HEAD up for heavens sake!!! People practically paint a bulls-eye on themselves these days, and when you add to it the fact that you’re in a country where thieves have no expectation that you might have a boom stick to protect yourself, you’re really walking a slippery slope there. I’m considering getting an Hermes cape cod, and if I do, I surely will NOT be wearing it in any situation where it seems dicey!! Anyway just my 2 cents, can’t be married to a police officer for 15 years and NOT know too much about how vile some people can be!! 😬

    Re the Cartier Tank, you can find a very affordable, very similar looking Tank through Seiko. I think all of their models are quartz, so you don't have to wind it up. My husband and I each have a pair, and they were less than $200 when we bought them. I've had mine for about 5 years now, and I've had absolutely no issues with it. Highly recommend it if you're interested in checking out the Tank style. Longines also had really nice versions of the style, if you are willing to go up in price but don't want to pay Cartier prices.

      Hello my friend! It was £2900 in 2021. I think they've gone up a lot since then, but they're still so much cheaper than a new one. A very happy new year to you!xx

    i just found out that chanel made the strap of the 2.55 in metal because, at the time, thieves in paris would pass (running? on mopeds?), cut the strap, and take the purse. i REALLY can't imagine this happening in paris today. anyway, use 2 straps - hand and cross, put the bag to the inside of the sidewalk, don't be paranoid, and you should be fine.

    What was the Netflix show name? Also, great video showing realistic alternatives. The fendi bag was cute. I like the Dior bag too but after testing it with a miss mini Dior bag i have decided that it is too delicate for the price. It scuffs up so easily, get corner wear due to no edge coating and very thin leatherline...im so disappointed by Dior that i simply cant take it no more. Love the design, gets scare due overpriced and low quality. Really liked the look alike Gucci bag.

    I do think it is a great idea to buy something similar and there really is nothing wrong with it. As for bags like Chanel, Dior, or Bvlgari, I prefer those preloved ones as they often are better made. At the end of this video, you showed us the Fendi bag. Even prettier than the Lady Dior in my opinion.
    Actually, I have had several expensive and authentic handbags, but now, only a few, because I am worried about someone following me, attacking me and thus there is no need to walk around with a bag that screams "money"
    and attacks the attention of the wrong people. I think and fear- at least for me - traveling often alone - also a famous style on my arm like Hermès or Chanel is too obvious. With a chauffeur and one bodyguard in tow one day,
    I might feel differently.

    From a personal safety POV, ur still OK with handbags. (Bar the Chanel Flap.) Rsn being that handbags are such a personal choice thing...the opportunity to make any money on a snatched one are slim-to-nil.
    ● A street robber would need 2 know a gal who was in the market 4 such a bag. And even then...she'd want it brand new. So, by & large, ur handbag will never make u a target.
    ● It's ur jewellery...(or designer shopping bags/carriers)...that'd make u stand out. As a potential target.

    Hello Sophie, it’s been a while since I had time to sit and write a proper comment-dropping comments more than thank you or a specific answer or sorry for ur loss isnt my thing! Here in Halifax I donno if ppl think Dior is a new fishing boat factory or whatever, so if someone wears luxury goods (mainly yachts here) it’s solely for themselves. At the same time it makes sense that why the crime rate is so low here becuz ppl call themselves “cheap”, most of my patients drop 7-8k for a tooth implant but they shop clothes from Walmart, cuz it’s just a watxh just a shirt just a winter jacket etc. do I like it? Do I choose being worried about being robbed over ppl appreciating my outfit instead of making fun of me! Donno… but again, I never worried about being robbed, maybe becuz back in time when we were living in London my parents were students and thieves wouldnt bother us:)). But use uber or walk in busy streets, that’s what I do when I travel becuz I really wanna get the wear out of the pieces I get. Dont get me wrong, they are in pristine condition but I wear them as much as I can. But we also don’t have the luxury of let’s go grab a cup of tea at Ritz Harrods etc, so donno what I would do. I believe if ppl know you, they will imagine yes you have paid $1000 for a hair accessory which isnt stupid btw, I have a fair number of them and I use them, so if u feel for hair accessories in specific it’s not very smart to spend that money and instead buy another belt then definitely buy the belt. But ppl who know you, know you live luxurious. Kesus

    • @shahrzaddani

      See, that’s why I dont do comments:)) and rich ppl don’t always buy everything very expensive, once in a while I see a nice pair of scrubs no brand whatsoever for less than $80 on amazon, why not get it? And so on. I am however VERY GRATEFUL that you dont talk about fake, becuz I am not u and I get attacked on IG by these companies and ppl, I am like NO I either have the money or I dont. There is no in between for me, then they insist and I have to block them. I’m glad you do lots of research on this topic that everyone can have a decent look WITHOUT buying fake shit. Happy New Year in advance btw! 🥂
