Beware of Fashionphile! I bought a preloved Cartier Love ring and brought it into Cartier to have it polished and they confirmed that it was a fake, even though it came with an 'authenticity certificate'. I contacted them and they will take it back but I'd advise to always take the item to confirm it's authentic!
There's always a risk when purchasing anything used. No process (even if it's backed with technology) is 100% foolproof. I personally think that the benefits of getting something more affordably outweighs the small risk. I always double authenticate with LegitGrails (most brands will not do authentication). But I think your point is very valid which is to be aware and a conscious consumer.
I'm very happy that Vuitton is re-proposing the multicolor collection, I have the clutch, bought about twenty years ago. I don't know how I used it during the day, so small! Now I need bigger bags 🤣
OMG your friend got you Neroli Plein Sud! I got a sample of it last summer when I ordered some makeup, and I adore it! It's such a special gift. What a lovely friend!
Sofia, this video was just perfect. I loved it so much, it made me cried grandparents are so, so special!!! Also I love your singing voice!! Everything you shared here was so lovely. Thank you!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Sophia, this was a very funny and sentimental video. I'm sure your yia-yia is so proud. You brought tears to my eyes. I would love to see more content on pre-loved luxury. Happy new year. ❤
Thanks Sofia. I love your videos. I’m still waiting for the vintage shopping in Paris when you went with your Mom. I’m planning a trip to Paris in October. It’s been a dream to go there for a long time
Happy New Year, dear Sofia, loved to watch this!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩So thoughtful of your friend, the Guerlain fragrance and so beautiful, and the gifts from your family, super nice to watch all of this!!! Have a wonderful day!!!😘😘😘😘
I love million by Paco Rabanne. I was surprised. I am trying to up my perfume game !! Want this one too. The bottle. So cute. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year
I'm in Jersey, there are 2 Hermes stores - Short Hills and American Dream. There used to be one in Hackensack but it closed once American Dream opened.
Ha! I was just at that Guerlain in Epcot a few weeks ago on vacation and got to practice my French-I didn’t see your bestie, it was 2 gentlemen helping me. I snagged the Aqua Allegoria Forte Oud Yuzu. Incroyable, enjoy your goodies! ❤
@SofiaSeesBeauty, such a small world (at Disney, haha), too funny! It was a really young guy who helped me and a middle-aged guy who got the stock. Young guy was so sweet!
There's always a risk when buying preloved. (I usually double-authenticate with LegitGrails.) Most luxury boutiques will not authenticate for you. I've been shopping pre-loved for years and personally don't think that the small risk outweighs the benefits if you're looking to save money on luxury
I have the same TMJ issues (complete with broken teeth!) and I switched to Dysport in my massiters earlier this year. So far it seems to be working better and lasting longer than Botox. It might be worth investigating?
I enjoy the mid range items. I only started watching you a few months ago. I really enjoy it and I like your personality. Happy new year and all the best in 2025.
Would love to see more mid-range shopping guides for both bags and clothes; my budget doesn’t stretch to high end, but I love to invest in high quality ethically made mid-range pieces that will last me many years. ❤
Happy new year! Glad to hear you had a nice Xmas. I can’t stop looking at that grey? Bag behind you with the white scarf… which bag is that one Sophia?
This was such a fun video! I'd love to find Guerlain fragrances here in Chicagoland- I've been wanting to try out some of their fragrances- and the Rabanne bottle is serving! I'm also here for the return of statement necklace in 2025. Speaking of necklaces, the custom one you shared at the end of incredibly sweet. And thank you for the shoutout! I'm loving the MC bags you picked up- great finds!! Oh, and I'm fully here for more bag content!
Happy New Year! I picked up a Foreo Luna 4 which is for cleansing and facial massage after seeing James Welsh say he loved his. I wasn't actually planning on buying it, but just wanted to check it out and it happened to be 25% off, so I ended up getting it, especially when the sensitive skin one was purple!! 😍 Really liking it so far. And I got the currentbody series 2 when you posted that 20% discount code for it and I am loving it and seeing some good results from that one already (especially in my eye hollows from weight loss)
How sweet! The necklace your cousin had gifted was so thoughtful, as well as the cat sweatshirt (those are my fav gifts). I also love how you opened up the video with the Guerlain scent from your best friend - that was amazing. I had mentioned Ana Luisa in the live video and I always recommend their hoop earrings, and any of their “celestial” themed jewelry. I have the Celeste earring set which is really cute if you like more daintier pieces now and again. Also I have probably ten of their necklaces and love them all, especially the zodiac themed ones. Happy new year, Sofia!
Love everything you got, Sofia! Especially the beautiful necklace your cousin got you to remember your yiayia by. Hope you have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!!
I did my regular size :) I find that their size chart is very accurate so far. If you want to wear a thicker sweater/turtleneck under the jacket as opposed to a blouse I would recommend one size bigger
Beautiful gifts! You deserve all that and more. I have not had a good experience purchasing from RealReal and will only buy new now. I do love the jewelry from Lizzie Fortunato and I'm going to order those resin earrings from them. Such interesting jewelry. I'm dying to sample the Guerlain fragrance. Recently, I bought a few smaller bottles of Villhelm perfumes and I love them - very long lasting and I bought Creed Adventus for Her - very long lasting.
I love red light devices so when I saw Halle Berry talking about Vfit I was immediately intrigued. I got her edition of it. It’s crazy the difference it makes! My body was not yet suffering too much from the Peri transition so I was not prepared for what an effect I would experience. WOW! I highly recommend.
Guerlain fragrance (that is amazing!) with that bottle is such a great gift; your friend is amazing. ❤ I'm so glad you found the LV bags you wanted. ❤ Great sentimental gift necklace ❤
Nice gifts!! I bought her myself some expensive makeup and skin care from Guerlain and Dior since I’m trying to get the gifts from Dior lol. Currently working on the puzzle which was silver.
I’ll be in EPCOT in May with my daughter for her 21st birthday. I’m going to have to check out the boutique!!! Also, I live in Warren County NJ. Not sure where your family is from but I thought I’d just throw it out there in case you’re familiar with. ❤
Happy 😃 new year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣🫶🏻 Dear Sofia! Love ❤️ your videos 📼📼📼 and your true genuine approach ♥️. Would much enjoy to see a dedicated video 📼 on vintage bags 💼 recommendations & tips/tricks to hunt a good deal as well 😉😉😉🥂🥂🥂
Not to be a Nervous Nellie~ but Be VERY careful with the massage gun. NEVER use it on your neck!! I had a vertebral artery dissection -VAD- (aneurysm)and ended up having a double coil procedure to fix it. I do have lingering effects bc of it. Google massage gun and VAD
Thanks for the tip! I got the facial one because of that very reason. The usual ones are way to strong for sensitive areas like the face, neck, and wrists
I think Minnie is offended that you called her elderly lol. She’s just a little baby 😂 Completely bypassed makeup purchases in Dec because of all the good jewelry sales for Black Friday. I ended up ordering from aurate, catbird, adorn monde & Mejuri
Happy new year Sofia! Such lovely gifts and what a beautiful sentiment from your cousin with the necklace- a forever memory of your yiayia. As for the Paco rabanne “ housewife”, I think you should name her Coco. 😎
I love enjoying your videos, and I think there’s beauty and everything. No pun intended, but everywhere around you is beautiful no matter what you see. you were also asking for video suggestions, well I know you’re into luxury brands and facial beauty, winter also happens to be the worst time to get dry patches on your skin and I’m not just talking on your face. A few years ago, you made up a list of what hydrates you from your face to your heels, and I was thinking of a similar video idea with a little twist. maybe this is just me, and perhaps I’m going to be made fun of what I’m about to say, but I brought this up to a few UA-camrs, and the fact that I have a friend who is blind, just like me, and not only is she going to college, but she is also struggling with dry skin, especially with the northwest climate that we are in, and the fact that even the northwest of the West Coast gets cold winters like everyone else in the country. she brought it up to me a few weeks ago, and I promised her that I would do everything that I could to help her combat her issues, and I am not doing this to expose her, but rather I want to be a good friend and perhaps send her some resources that can help her feel better. She’s coming home from Mexico in a few days, so she will be able to get an appointment with her dermatologist. while that may be the case, and due to the fact that she doesn’t have eczema, every night she puts on lotion on the back of her heels, but it doesn’t seem to be helping her. I know that it’s not just her less struggling, but you struggle with similar issues, and I’m sure many of your subscribers do as well. So that is why I’m suggesting a video where you talk about your tips for keeping your skin, smooth and soft throughout the cold winter so that you can show it during the spring and summer, including your go to products and methods as somebody who travels and he likes to be cosy around the house, but likes to feel pampered as well.
I would love to have made that but I shipped a lot of them to my parent's house because it's kind of stressful to have to travel home for the holidays with all the gifts
Another suggestion was things you can’t live without when you’re hanging out around your house, and I’m pretty sure you probably have a luxury brand of house slippers that you go to, or even when you have a spa night at home, but either way these are products that you just have to come home to after a long week of traveling or just staying home.
Beware of Fashionphile! I bought a preloved Cartier Love ring and brought it into Cartier to have it polished and they confirmed that it was a fake, even though it came with an 'authenticity certificate'. I contacted them and they will take it back but I'd advise to always take the item to confirm it's authentic!
Although Cartier publicly announced that they would no longer authenticate love bracelets & rings because there are so many fakes.

I love it! A very unique fragrance for me
Yes! More preloved luxury vintage videos and where to buy them❤
I would love to see more on buying pre--loved market and affordable luxury in general.
That Guerlain shop at EPCOT is my primary reason for going to WDW!!
haha no way! A little oasis for us beauty lovers at Disney lol
That necklace with your grandma’s catchphrase is so thoughtful. I love gifts like that.
Me too!
Sofia, this video was just perfect. I loved it so much, it made me cried grandparents are so, so special!!! Also I love your singing voice!! Everything you shared here was so lovely. Thank you!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I would LOVE to see shopping vlogs in second-hand/consignment shops! (clothes & handbags)
Those earrings are so cute I love them , added to cart ( Lizzy hoops). 😂 Looks like u had an amazing Xmas .
That story of your grandma and the necklace is so so sweet 🥹🫶🏼❤️🙏🏼🕊️
Gorgeous fragrance, and the bottle is to die for, what a great best friend!
Thank you!
Sophia, this was a very funny and sentimental video. I'm sure your yia-yia is so proud. You brought tears to my eyes. I would love to see more content on pre-loved luxury. Happy new year. ❤
Aw thank you Nadine! Happy new year!

I love million by Paco Rabanne. I was surprised. I am trying to up my perfume game !! Want this one too. The bottle. So cute. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year
Did you see the new One Million Gold from Paco Rabanne??? It's amazing, the bottle is the cutest thing ever!
wow that sweatshirt with your cat's face is incredible 😍 what an amazing idea!
It's so cute lol!
I'm in Jersey, there are 2 Hermes stores - Short Hills and American Dream. There used to be one in Hackensack but it closed once American Dream opened.
Those are both in North Jersey :) we don't have any luxury stores whatsoever down in Atlantic County (I wish lol)
More vintage or even re-homed articles of clothing, jewelry, bags etc.
Omg!! Every time I go to Epcot i spend so much time at the Guerlain store ( my brother works for Disney so a good discount is always appreciated ☺️🙏🏽)
Niceeee! haha love that
Ha! I was just at that Guerlain in Epcot a few weeks ago on vacation and got to practice my French-I didn’t see your bestie, it was 2 gentlemen helping me. I snagged the Aqua Allegoria Forte Oud Yuzu. Incroyable, enjoy your goodies! ❤
Omg no way!
@SofiaSeesBeauty, such a small world (at Disney, haha), too funny! It was a really young guy who helped me and a middle-aged guy who got the stock. Young guy was so sweet!
Eres muy dulce ❤ Feliz 2025 🎉
I’m a giant preloved luxury fan. Would LOVE to see some content on that.
Would love to see a bag collection of yours! ❤
There's always a risk when buying preloved. (I usually double-authenticate with LegitGrails.) Most luxury boutiques will not authenticate for you. I've been shopping pre-loved for years and personally don't think that the small risk outweighs the benefits if you're looking to save money on luxury
I have the same TMJ issues (complete with broken teeth!) and I switched to Dysport in my massiters earlier this year. So far it seems to be working better and lasting longer than Botox. It might be worth investigating?
I think I get Dysport as well. I need to check on that. Thanks for telling me that!
You are hilarious 😂. The song about perfume bottle. Dying ❤
😂
I enjoy the mid range items. I only started watching you a few months ago. I really enjoy it and I like your personality. Happy new year and all the best in 2025.

@@SofiaSeesBeauty Thank you - really love your content and it has been so helpful for me!
Happy new year! Glad to hear you had a nice Xmas. I can’t stop looking at that grey? Bag behind you with the white scarf… which bag is that one Sophia?
Its a mini Lady Dior in blue lizard

Yay! Thanks for the rec Tracy and for letting me know how you like the mask. I always appreciate the feedback
Omg the depuffer is one of my FAVORITES
Oh goodie! I like it so far
The depuffing wand is amazing! It surprised me how cold it gets and how hot it gets! Love it!
I know I used it the past two days and it's great!
How sweet! The necklace your cousin had gifted was so thoughtful, as well as the cat sweatshirt (those are my fav gifts).

Thank you! Happy new year!
Omg love the Marakami bags! I imagine the prices will be going up so I think it was smart to buy now.
I know and I love the original designs so much!
Hey Sofia. Question for you. For the tweed jacket, did you size your standard size, up or down? Thanks!
I did my regular size :) I find that their size chart is very accurate so far. If you want to wear a thicker sweater/turtleneck under the jacket as opposed to a blouse I would recommend one size bigger
@SofiaSeesBeauty thanks!!
Maybe I’m missing it but what was the PJ brand you bought from? Thanks!
Printfresh!
I just had to giggle when you were playing and singing with your perfume. Adorable!
hahaha I have a wild imagination 😆
Beautiful gifts! You deserve all that and more. I have not had a good experience purchasing from RealReal and will only buy new now.

Thank you sweet Stavroula!
Oh my gosh, so excited to see you getting into Lizzie Fortunato!!!
Such a nice brand!
We have a theragun. My husband loves it! The kids love to give Daddy a massage with it. ❤ You will love it. Enjoy!
For your Rabanne perfume lady”Ritzy”❤️
great rec!
The kitties hoodie and hat are amazing lolol
Thanks 🙃
I’ll be in EPCOT in May with my daughter for her 21st birthday. I’m going to have to check out the boutique!!!

You need to check it out! We live down in Atlantic County :)
@ oh, ok! We vacation in Wildwood Crest every summer. Small world!!
Happy 😃 new year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣🫶🏻 Dear Sofia! Love ❤️ your videos 📼📼📼 and your true genuine approach ♥️. Would much enjoy to see a dedicated video 📼 on vintage bags 💼 recommendations & tips/tricks to hunt a good deal as well 😉😉😉🥂🥂🥂
Thanks for the request! Happy new year!
Would love to learn best way to shop pre-loved items.
I think you need an olde fashioned name for the Paco Rabanne fragrance doll. I like “Irma” or “Myrtle”.
Halloween cat pyjamas are seasonless.
haha get suggestions!
You should name your fragrance bottle Miss Athena. Ha ha.
Haha love it!
I think you should name her Dixie...with the boots she looks like a Dixie 😂❤
Haha love it!
Not to be a Nervous Nellie~ but Be VERY careful with the massage gun. NEVER use it on your neck!! I had a vertebral artery dissection -VAD- (aneurysm)and ended up having a double coil procedure to fix it. I do have lingering effects bc of it. Google massage gun and VAD
Absolutely!! I have two Theraguns and love them but you def have to be careful.
Thanks for the tip! I got the facial one because of that very reason. The usual ones are way to strong for sensitive areas like the face, neck, and wrists
I think Minnie is offended that you called her elderly lol. She’s just a little baby 😂
Completely bypassed makeup purchases in Dec because of all the good jewelry sales for Black Friday. I ended up ordering from aurate, catbird, adorn monde & Mejuri
Lollll! She is indeed... a little baby 😂
@ 😇👌🏼
💜💜💖
Gigi!!
Haha love that name!
Where from New Jersey are you from?
Atlantic county! Down the shore :)
I think you should name her Mimzi!
28:24 ❤ 😢
Her name should be Colette. 💎
Happy new year Sofia! Such lovely gifts and what a beautiful sentiment from your cousin with the necklace- a forever memory of your yiayia. As for the Paco rabanne “ housewife”, I think you should name her Coco. 😎

I’d love to see what you gave as gifts. Maybe next year you can film them before wrapping and then show after the holidays.
I would love to have made that but I shipped a lot of them to my parent's house because it's kind of stressful to have to travel home for the holidays with all the gifts
Another suggestion was things you can’t live without when you’re hanging out around your house, and I’m pretty sure you probably have a luxury brand of house slippers that you go to, or even when you have a spa night at home, but either way these are products that you just have to come home to after a long week of traveling or just staying home.
@@SofiaSeesBeauty- Screenshots of what you shipped would still be fun! 😁
As long as it is not private!
She looks like a Elvira to me 😂
🙌💕
Wow! You must feel so spoiled! Suhbe
Yes very fortunate this year!
