Honestly, I will die loving the Monolith boots. But then I live in leather trousers and goth looking stuff and those boots are perfect for me. I also only buy stuff now that I know I will love forever.. and not just trends. ❤
Cassie you and your Instagram people are giving such great content to your channel! So many of these are such great options that aren't plastered everywhere, and not already done by other channels. Very cool reviews
For the travel duffle, think about the size that you're getting and whether you want the option to hang onto it during your flight as a carry on. Look at your airlines rules for carry on sizes, because nowadays I would NEVER check a Louis Vuitton!! Unless you're putting an air tag in that thing and prepared to fight the airline over finding your "lost" but probably stolen luggage.
It is very helpful when you describe functional details. Can you mention the weight of items more often because it can be hard to know if a bag or something is heavy before it has items added to it. For example here you mentioned the lipstick is heavy
LOVE these episodes!!!! That Prada leopard print bag is #goals!!!!! Love to hear your opinions about all these things! I know it's early, but Happy Christmas! Things are hard; I'm leaning into the things that make me happy.
Cassie, I got the new Gucci ballerinas in pink satin after seeing them on your channel and I adore them! Thank you so much for bringing them to my attention!❤❤❤
If you want the keepall for plane travel, you need to know you can only take up to size 45 on board with you. Otherwise it will get thrown in with all the other cargo baggage.
when i saw that whale bag for the first time on the website i low key lost it, it is so stinking cute! the pre-SS loewe stuff is overall really adorable, there's cute bunnies and hamsters but also the naval theme with the whales and octipi and stuff it's very sweet without being too cutesy
Just my opinion on olivia von halle pjs, they feel great and you don't need to dry clean them. I just put them in a net in my machine and they come out fine.
Re tennis bracelet, opinion as a 3rd generation former ( hopefully future) collector/jewelry maker: depending on carat weight of stones, real diamonds can retain or grow in value. Lab grown diamonds are almost worthless for resale. So, if any or all individual diamonds are 1 carat or more and flawless or nearly flawless clear, or even with inclusions canary, blue, pink, green, they tend to retain most of their value, maybe even increase over time if bigger than 2 carats and the same degree of clarity. Rarer the better. If the diamonds are artificially colored, probably not as good. If the stones are not as described I'd go lab grown. Also, real diamonds flawless to VS1 over 1 carat *each* in a tennis bracelet, say 20-30 diamonds, is a ton of cash. The insurance is probably a separate policy. Some policies won't cover you if you lose it overseas or if you don't take it for periodic inspection to a jeweler they choose etc. PITA. Is the bracelet for fun? Or an investment? Just for fun, it's much more affordable to go lab grown, and there are often more fabulous and sometimes breathtaking designs in all 3 colors of gold or platinum.
@suzanneallison6163 my opinion since you asked:) white sapphires are beautiful hard stones that age well! I love them, estate pieces with white sapphires very rarely have chips even if they're bracelets or rings and the metal mounts are very worn. I clean them in Dawn and warm water just like diamonds or dishes, or use a sonic if the mount isn't an issue. Can't do that with many other kinds of stone! They'll perform almost as well, they just don't throw the "rainbow" sparkle most diamonds do, so in large stones or clusters like a tennis some who know diamonds could guess on sight in sunlight or very strong light they aren't diamonds, or think you got "cloudy" or less expensive diamonds. If anyone asks if they're "real", you can honestly say sapphires are real stones (just not diamonds). If you want *everyone* to think they're diamonds but don't care about resale value at all, lab grown diamond passes in sunlight, just not under a specific detector. Large white sapphires are true precious stones so they'll be worth something, if you feel you will want to resell them, especially to an estate jewelry dealer or a collector's auction. Caveat is, if it's a big name designer you're probably paying a hefty premium for the name, so either way it's worth much less in materials. Value of a designer name only matters to very specific collectors. *also should say, don't let anyone play "diamond on diamond" with your sapphires, a diamond can scratch a sapphire
Yaaay Cassie Morning! Ok wow… the Fendi toast bag! I am in love! Never thought I am going to want a “toast bag” but I’m drooling…. Or maybe my coffee didn’t kick in yet 😂
I didnt realise that the Chanel Kelly bag would hold a phone, I was going to get a WOC but maybe I'll go for the Kelly if I can find one! Love the sage colour, I watched the vlog and I was rooting for the green!
I pre ordered the LV loop hobo because I was so excited about it. I did not like the leather on it and had to force it to slouch. The leather felt fake.
Ohnoe, the Ann Demeulemeester Black Henrica Boots is the one that got away for me personally. They will never not be great - especially if you are a westwoodgirlie.
Fab video as always Cassie! ❤ Just my two cents on diamonds: Lab-grown diamonds are identical to mined ones in both physical and chemical composition. They also come without the ethical concerns often associated with mined diamonds, so you can buy lab-grown with a clear conscience. Unfortunately, the same can’t really be said for mined diamonds. Plus, the value of mined diamonds is artificially inflated by controlling the supply. Considering that you can’t tell the difference between the two, it’s hard to justify why one should be seen as more or less valuable than the other.
As a Graduate Gemologist from GIA (though a LONG time ago :P) I agree with you. Except that some people can absolutely tell. Bc when you're looking at new diamonds they will all be identical but older diamonds will sometimes be mismatched or have huge open culets or something.
Cassie I am so so so glad that I've Found your UA-cam Channel and your vlogs are really really a therapy for me sending you lots of love💗✨🤗 and I will always be your biggest biggest supportive
I cannot fathom wanting a natural diamond when we know that a lot of these diamonds are unethically sourced. I’m a geologist & there is no difference 😭 in fact the lab grown ones are BETTER because there’s no impurities
A lot of things are unethically made prolly even what you’re wearing rn. Nothing beats real diamonds! Its like saying, I want my lab-grown chicken over my cage-free, steroid-free chicken.
@cgb25 it's literally a perfect diamond that has no exploitation. You may not be able to fix everything, but that doesn't mean you should fix nothing.
Hello Cassie & Gelli. Oh, she looks so much like my Cat Karai. Twins. 💖💖💖 this video. How can u choose...so much great bags. I'm struggling to pick one. Lol 😂. Thanks Cassie.
Slightly off topic maybe Wt r ur thots on a cz tennis bracelet just for a bit of sparkle Ive come across a few cz silver combos that I think look so good
I personally seek out lab diamonds (and other stones when possible). Diamonds aren't good investments, if im going to buy a shiny thing, I want it to be as ethical as possible and I hate paying arbitrary mark ups!
There’s no long term evidence that lab diamonds will retain their value, whereas mined diamonds do retain their value. The thing that doesn’t retain value is the mount, a 1c diamond in an ugly mount is worth what the 1c diamond itself is worth. That is why engagement rings don’t retain a lot of value, because generally people way overpay for (ugly) mounts.
Cassie I think your hair would suit you more at shoulder length as you mature. Caught a glimpse of how would look as your hair blended with dark top and it looked stunning!
it's such a marketing scheme to prefer a "natural" diamond vs a lab-grown one. it's like, "no i don't want a perfect diamond, i want one that people died mining for instead." like WHAT
I'm the happiest when i see a video from you. ☺️☺️ Tysm for the video, i was debating on the knot right for so long ( as long as one can take) & i stii am but i guess i have some clear thoughts now. Love you Cas & hope you are having a great week !!! 🫂🤗♥️♥️ P.S. I have a polo ID in small size but i did order myself in a large one during their recent 40% sale ☺️☺️ maybe you should get it one in that blue colour, we can be matchy you know !!! ☺️☺️
i love the schiaparelli earrings on you - they really suit you.
@@leannetaylor5661 thank you so much!
What sets you apart from other fashion “influencers” is your willingness to share all aspects of fashion.
This was fun. The toast bag was so cute! 😂. Your hair looks beautiful btw
I haven't seen it before this video. Soooo so cute. It's on my alert!❤
I really loved this video it’s so refreshing to watch. Great vid Cassie ❤
You’re so sweet thank you! 🥰
Dying to know if you preordered anything from the LV Murakami collection. I managed to order the white pochette and I am so excited! x
Angelica NEEDS that Tiffany collar 😻 that blue on her fur omg 💙👌
Honestly, I will die loving the Monolith boots. But then I live in leather trousers and goth looking stuff and those boots are perfect for me. I also only buy stuff now that I know I will love forever.. and not just trends. ❤
I love hearing that - Alt luxury lovers unite!!
Yay I love these videos! Thank you for answering mine 🥰 Think I’ll go lab grown 💎
So happy you like them and I couldn’t answer your question!
Cassie you and your Instagram people are giving such great content to your channel! So many of these are such great options that aren't plastered everywhere, and not already done by other channels. Very cool reviews
I agree on the teddy 🧸 coat
For me the Triceratops bag from Maison Mihara Yasuhiro> Loewe Whale bag, just for price and cuteness🥰
love these long videos!
Yayyy!!
I love this type of video because it really helps anyone who has doubts ❤️
because I'm also unsure about buying a rainbow diamond tennis necklace 🥴🥴
You look exceptionally fierce with your schip earrings ❤❤❤
I think the Loewe's Amazona bag is more interesting than the Miu Miu Arcadie bag.
Agreed!
Agreed.
It's a gorgeous bag and has so many variations

Good morning queen Cassie and her helping to put more on my Christmas 🎄 wishlist ✨️ 💕 😊!
Good morning!! 🤭🤩

Such a fun interesting video! ❤

Good note, I’ve taken a 55 on board though, maybe for international flights?
50 works as a personal item on domestic and international travel in my experience.
My Keepall 55 has gone on many domestic flights no issue.
I stand corrected. Good to know, I was only passing on what I was told. Thanks
Thank you Cassie!!!!! 😘😘
I love this format! Your hair looks so good today I was distracted and will have to watch the video again😂
Omggg you’re too kind 😭🥹
Blessed Wednesday my beautiful Cass Cass!!! Don’t know what i want for this Christmas 😊
Wishing you a happy Wednesday 😍
would love a blanket alternative to the Hermes - w/ the fun designs👀

Absolutely 💯 👍🏻 LOVE ❤ this type of videos 📼📼📼 of yours, Dear CassCass! 👍🏻🥰🤩
Cassie , Your hair style - BOMBSHELL 🥰
The exaggerated side curls ! 🙌🏻
I don’t know how your finance keeps his hands to himself 😝

Actually just ordered the Alaïa Le Teckel in black suede. I couldn’t resist anymore 😅 looooove this video ♥️
Yesssss 🙈💖
I returned my andiamo. So surprisingly heavy 😢. I wanted to love ❤️ it so!

What do you think about white sapphires? In a bracelet or necklace. I want the look at a much lower price point.
are white topaz any good? to follow on another comment?

I think Bottega has some good boots.
Amazing video as per always. Which agenda do you have? Large one and which style? Same for your mom? Merry Christmas
Yaaay Cassie Morning! Ok wow… the Fendi toast bag! I am in love! Never thought I am going to want a “toast bag” but I’m drooling…. Or maybe my coffee didn’t kick in yet 😂
Hahaha it’s so cute!
Great review!
Thank you!
😂 best comment ever - Red Boots = Paddington Bear! I love Paddington but I don’t want to look like him. lol. 🤣
I've heard the Fendi First will be phased out soon so do with that as you will.
I have those Gucci crystal loafers and they are amazing!!
They’re so fab!
❤❤BEST HAIR DAY EVER!!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Omggg thank you!
@CassieThorpe 😘 welcome!
Crystal hat - all day, all night, yes! ❣️
I didnt realise that the Chanel Kelly bag would hold a phone, I was going to get a WOC but maybe I'll go for the Kelly if I can find one! Love the sage colour, I watched the vlog and I was rooting for the green!
Yes it will hold a phone and the green is so nice!
Hello. The Gucci suede medium brown shoulder bag. Luv it. Do you ❤
I only want tix for Kendrick concert 😭
HiCassie!
You and Nii (and me lol) 🤩
I just would like some designer fragrances and sunglasses this Christmas, nothing crazy😇
Would love to hear what you think about Alessandro at Valentino? Do we like this move or do we think he’s vibing too much Gucci?
Love you dearly but Prada is instant classics in my mind never goes out because it was never in.
I pre ordered the LV loop hobo because I was so excited about it. I did not like the leather on it and had to force it to slouch. The leather felt fake.
I love your videos! Congratulations on getting married, Queen.
VCA 10 motifs or Cartier JUC choker
Cassie i want your Christmas short list, also what do you buy your parents?
My Dad hasn’t told me what he wants yet and my mum is getting the LV agenda 💖 I’ve bought all my gifts for myself 🙈
@CassieThorpe i do the same thing! But really dad that's cutting it close

I bought natural diamonds with a clear conscious. lol
My ferragamo top handle in Lapis didn’t make it! 😭 I’d love to know what you think Cassie! ❤
My husband and I debate the Tiffany collar a lot for our golden girls. Probs going to be sneaking dog collars home from goyard in Paris next year 😉
Oohhh also a great option 🤩
‘I want this slathered all over my turkey’ sent me places 😂😂😂

I cannot fathom wanting a natural diamond when we know that a lot of these diamonds are unethically sourced. I’m a geologist & there is no difference 😭 in fact the lab grown ones are BETTER because there’s no impurities
Further, diamond engagement rings weren’t even a thing until they put up tons of ads for de beers in mid 1900’s.
Insider info!! 🤩

Ahh you didn’t tell me if the bag I wanted was worth it! I need someone to enable me 😂
Slightly off topic maybe
Wt r ur thots on a cz tennis bracelet just for a bit of sparkle
Ive come across a few cz silver combos that I think look so good
makes sense if you're testing out the size in mm on your wrist
Word is Fendi First is gone with this creative director.
I personally seek out lab diamonds (and other stones when possible). Diamonds aren't good investments, if im going to buy a shiny thing, I want it to be as ethical as possible and I hate paying arbitrary mark ups!
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BUY A NATURAL DIAMONDS. The resale is horrible. PERIOD. The lab grown is real in EVERY sense except it comes from a lab

The thing that doesn’t retain value is the mount, a 1c diamond in an ugly mount is worth what the 1c diamond itself is worth. That is why engagement rings don’t retain a lot of value, because generally people way overpay for (ugly) mounts.
Spending $1k on something cute aka a tiny bag charm is so silly. If the money burns a whole in your pocket, maybe give it to charity, 'tis the season.

it's such a marketing scheme to prefer a "natural" diamond vs a lab-grown one. it's like, "no i don't want a perfect diamond, i want one that people died mining for instead." like WHAT
apparently it's an astrology thing for luck
Except mined diamonds will regain their value if they’re a quality stone, no evidence that mined diamonds will retain their value.
