Hi Mel... how come u don't own the oldest know leather bag making company older than Hermes... Delvaux?
I love your pieces you created for Lilysilk! A true long term genuine partnership when a creator actually designs for the brand! Been loving the pieces I have from them but thank for always getting us the best codes. I really love you styling so please keep them coming! My best purchase this year was my LV cappucines BB and my worst was my Chanel earrings, the diamante fell off after a few wears 😭 Love these vides Mel you should do them every year! 😍
The burgundy & grey! What a combo!
Burgundy and red clothing is always do much fun to style ❤
I love these kinds of videos at end of year! Always enjoyable to see what was most practical, etc.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Kristina! It was actually really eye opening for me to go through all my purchases then compile this list. Overall a good bag year though, what been your best purchase this year? Xx
Everything is stunning Mel, especially the Kelly and Birkin 😉. Great video thanks ❤💕
The salmon pink bag is gorgeous and so cheerful looking 😊 Your videos always put a smile on my face. Hoping one day I could afford my dream bag as well. ❤
One of my favorite types of videos and you truly made many Wonderful purchases this year Mel. I loveLoveLOVE your Jade Kelly, FENDI Stingray Peekaboo, Stack bracelets & your LS Creations. The Red & Black outfit is so cute. I enjoy knowing what items were used & enjoyed and which weren't. TFS Mel.🧡🍂
I so love your hermes kelly in lizard skin! So gorgeous and timeless! 👌🏻✨
the denim jimmy choo's would look good with beige too :)
Wow all amazing items, you've done well for yourself in life. Enjoy your pieces to the fullest! I love that watch 😊
Thanks for sharing my lady! ✨😍✨ love the lily silks on u, I’m eyeing them. ❤️😘😘😘Sandy
OMG, that jade green lizard Kelly is SICK. That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, even more than these hot pink crocodile Brkins I see from time to time. Clearly I missed that unboxing, will have to scroll back. Also love the large clover bracelet
Thank You for this amazing video ❤❤❤
So happy you got a wishlist Birkin!
I absolutely love your green snake, pink ostrich, and gray stingray✨
I love love love that color brown! And it suits you so good!🤎Ofcourse Miss Jade looks perfectly with this set!💚🤎
Your stack of bracelets look fantastic together with the others.🤩
Your new Birkin is beautiful too,the color is gorgeous!😍And it looks great with your Zimmermann dress❣️
I still didn’t find a Marc Jacobs tote bag,preloved,but I am not giving up.😊
I think those denim heels would go great with shades of grey.
Oh your bracelets are absolutely perfect ! I could look at them forever! ❤
Aww thanks so much Kathryn, really happy with my current stack and the pave diamond Sterling silver one currently is 30% off for a few more days and priced so well. Nice to break up the gold in my stack (in case you were interested) x
Your malachite earrings are SO gorgeous 😭❤️ and it goes so well with your green Kelly! I'm so jealous 😂
Thank you so much my dear! You know how much I love green! What’s been your best purchase this year? Xx
Love the bag charm , it’s so cute 🥰
It’s so so cute! I think it’s a real love or hate it thing bc some honest subbies have told me it looks so silly 😂 x
Hi Mel! Which video do you show how to style green bags? Thank you
I love this kind of vlogs ❤
I’m so glad you loved it my dear! Thanks so much for watching x
Lol, the doll, well at least you can resell that easily 🤣
Haha yes she would fetch a pretty penny but I’m the worst at letting things go and I still think she is adorable although too expensive 😂 Happy Thanksgiving too Jackie! ❤
Hi Mel! Thank you for this video! It was so fun to watch. I purchased some Hermes Oran sandals in denim this year, thinking they’d be so easy to style but, like you, have had a lot of trouble finding outfits to wear them with 😢😢😢 I had a lot of best purchases this year, but would have to say my Birkin 30 in Gris Meyer as the best!!
Hi Mel! 1st BELATED HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO U & Hubby! More years to come 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 my faves in this video are the Birkin25 in Terra Cuit, & of course tur LilySilk Toasted Chesnut midi bracelet dress! I haven’t bit the bullet on it yet we’ll see for Christmas gift from ME to ME! Hahaha 😝 #GodBless 😍
Mel can you do a come get beauty treatments done with me video. Hair lashes nails everything. Would love to see it.
You’re the version of Heart Evangelista here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 hopefully you two get collab in with both all of the luxuries you guys have 💎 I love how you explain everything in details from head to toe 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
first! hope you and the fam are well mel! love watching your videos
Yup first today my dear! 🥇Thank you for being so early! The fam and I have been well how are you? Xx
Try the denim choos with bright yellow or magenta !!! Love your videos!!
Thank you for the suggestion I’ll def try that! So happy you enjoy my vids lovely xx
Youve inspired me to wear my malachite earings to Thanksgiving lunch!😅
Yay!! Malachite for the win! 💚Happy Thanksgiving Suzanna x
Gorgeous AP and wear it in good health! I think it would look great on its own on the wrist (plus I think other bracelets may end up scratching the AP...)
Great video Mel !
Your blue jean heals could be worn with a black leather skirt or a black leather trouser. I am sur it would be beautiful ❤️
What size do you wear in the Lily Silk sweaters? I love Jade; she’s so pretty but the AP watch is my fav. Happy Holidays Mel!
thank you for sharing
Amazing
I think she’s 43 ;)
I love that green bag. I wished you would have opened it.
My favorite purchase this year is Chanel's classic black, medium-sized bag, which I find perfect in every aspect. Conversely, my least favorite is also from Chanel: the classic-colored slingback shoe. The back strap doesn't stay in place for me; it keeps slipping off, making them very uncomfortable. Although I love the design, I think I might have to sell them.
Miss Jade is such #goals!!!! Love all your takes on these pieces!
Advance merry xmass😊
Advanced Merry Christmas to you too my dear! My favourite time of year, I still need to put up my tree hehe xx
The Kelly Doll - I’d put ear buds in it if they fitted. You could tag it off another bag and get more wear out of it.
If I have to choose your best buy of this year, it would be your stunning AP watch 😍
You have such elegant taste, I love everything you buy and the way you put all the outfits together. Classic and timeless. Just one suggestion, and I mean this kindly..., I saw your cat in another video, what a beautiful kitty. Have you ever considered donating money to the cat rescues in Australia and elsewhere. These awesome people, the rescuers, struggle so much for every dollar to spay, neuter, feed, and tend to the medical needs of so many cats and dogs, all over the world. You seem like you’re in a position to help some of them out, the ones in the poorest areas with the highest burdens (Eastern Europe is one large area where I’ve seen so many struggling). I don’t know if you already do this, but the price of one bag could feed over 1000 animals for about 6 months in some of these communities. Thank you for giving some thought to this. God bless.
Love your styling videos Mel!
Ms Jade is amazing 💚
Such stunning condition for being 35 yrs old. What has been your best purchase this year my dear? Xx
Blue works with brown
Hi Mel, I love the silk clothes you have on Lillysilk, especially the new lovely dress you have. It looks so amazing, and those satin pants OMG so amazing on you. I love those beautiful sandle heels I agree so comfortable to wear for a going out outfit. Love your content so much. Have a gorgeous day, love!! ❤️👠🥰
Hi Christopher! I always love reading your comments! Thank you so much for regularly taking the time to comment on my vids it doesn’t go unnoticed 🥰 Aww thank you I’ve really been loving Lilysilk’s new collection and proud to have worked and seen them grow over so many years. I wasn’t sure about the pants but love them I want them in the chocolate brown too now. If you have any requests for content pls do let me know, your feedback is always welcome! Have a great day too darling! ❤️
I have discovered you recently and i saw a lot of your vlogs and i like tou very much. To answear of one of your question asked a while back, yes,this trend with the names of the great brands in very big letters,is down right takky. And on the other hand,i don't understand why buying only two or three brands gives one status. There are so many bags out there with awesome quality of the leather and craftmanship wich none talks about,Polene being just one of them.. You can look so elegant without only big brands and tones of money spended on them..😢
Are the earrings heavy? I can't wear heavy earrings, I get a headache. Thx!
Did I miss your new H bag?
Denim shoes goeas easier with leather or linen. Please try.
Hermes toupee is great
I love Miss Jade
She is a stunner! Glad you love her too! How have you been dear Jeanette? Xx
You can wear those crazy heels and get hubs to carry you 😅😂
How much was the green Hermes birken?
Do you mean the green Kelly? I paid about 30kaud which although was expensive I’ve seen them sell for double/triple that price as it’s so rare x
Hi mel ❤
How much was the pink ostrich birken?
I did an unboxing for it and always share prices, it is linked under my 7rp code in the description box. Sorry I can’t remember the exact price of this one but ostrich is the “cheapest” of all he exotics lol
5000 for a charm? 😮 So expensive! Hopefully you can sell it if it doesn't bring you joy anymore. It's cute, but that pricetag......... I can't wrap my head around it. Feel like I can't even type properly, Mel 😂
Fun
I would mind winning lily silk items
Bonjour de la Belgique 🇧🇪 Mel, je suis contente de vous voir, votre sac Hermès Kelly 32 Lézard 🦎 💚😜, et votre Birkin 25 autruche 🧡😜, magnifiques❤️, ils vous vont très bien, avec vos jolies tenues, bien à vous, amitiés de chez nous 🤗💛

Isn’t it nearly summer there?
Hey Ellen, yes it is. That’s why I was saying in the video that Melbourne weather has been crazy (even crazier than normal). Today is going to be warm but just a few days ago we had the heater on. It’s been a few days of cold weather then warmer then sometimes 4 seasons in a day! Always need a cardi or coat in my car lol 😂
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🌺🌺🌺
❤🌹🌹🌹
The pink Birkin looks as though it has the measles or chicken pox.
for heaven's sake it's just a bag
Ive been looking for a nice cashmere hoodie and sweatpants set! So after watching your video
….I made the purchase with your exclusive discount and i cant wait to receive it! Thank you so much for the information!! 💗🥹
So happy you got a wishlist Birkin!
❤❤❤
