Don't underestimate your ability to make random internet weirdos give you things. Start a public amazon wishlist. It's not soul-corroding consumerism if it's a present
Thank u so much, dear Monica, for my Monday morning fashion inspo!🥰 I admire you for not just your brilliant creativity, but also for your truly humane values. I too am concerned abt overconsumption and sustainability. rn I don't "need" any more shoes and haven't bought any for a while, but luv the new rock boots! If I were to come across a vintage pair, I would have to give some thought to whether to buy them or not. I really appreciate the depth of thought and knowledge you bring to fashion. You are truly a mensch (which BTW is not necessarily a gendered word) 💕. I hope u like ur new place!
Hahaha me too!! Literally added the boots to my cart and then had to close the website before I impulse bought them 😔 lol sometimes I just need to remind myself that I already have stuff to wear and it oftentimes makes me feel more creative with putting together outfits!! So glad ur enjoying the fashion content 💗💗🩷🫶
i wish i was a rich girl so i my entire wardobe was small business pieces!! this is the perfect video for manifesting this haha 🫶 now a paragraph about new rocks for anyone curious... 😅 i have 5 pairs of New rocks... they're definitely hit or miss. The cheaper ones (100 euro) are cheaply made, but around 200 euro and above they are amazing quality. The leather is insanely good! They run small and my feet are pretty wide so I had to take them to the cobbler and he was very impressed with the quality, he said it was so much better than dr martens. The second model you showed that looks more like a shoe than a boot is super comfortable, they're my everyday shoe. BUT the first model you showed, the boot with the buckles, is gorgeous and high quality but not comfortable at all because the buckle stitch goes underneath the insole and it makes a bump inside the shoe 😫 I will definitely have these shoes for years to come. I think the right pair is an investment. For comparison, I sold all my 3 pairs of Demonias beacause they were too uncomfortable to walk in (and i do A LOT of walking).
Rewatched... yah, leopard really clicks w/ur style.. i.e., the leapord clogs&cheetah trimmed shorts.. so cute! Also, thx for the tip on gentle monster, I need new glasses.. 🤓
this was so fun! I love the way my friend wears her new rocks, but I have come to terms with the fact that if they are not converse or vans, I will not personally reach for them lol. Skating is way too ingrained in the forefront of my brain to wear non flat shoes >< It is a shame though like you said about the quality decline :( I feel like it is the same with most brands, I was looking into some vans and the reviews mentioned the newer ones falling apart as well. Decided to order an older model on mercari (was cheaper than a new pair as well ;)) If you ever find some leather pants you like but need a tiny bit of tailoring- I would be more than happy to alter them for you!
Lol it'd be so cool if they could make some type of boot sneaker hybrid that's actually comfy for skating. But I'm glad u were able to find a pair on mercari, it's so much more satisfying finding something cheaper and rare through second hand!! And thank for the tailoring offer 🥹 ill definitely let you know if I happen to find any
All I’ve been doing is being on farfetch for 24/7 I go to all of the brands and there’s so many, it’s such a good way to set up fashion moodboards and understanding fashion in general.
i love tyler mcgillivary’s designs but never can quite justify the price 🥲 also obsessed with gentle monsters marketing too, their PR packages always blow me away and make me envious lol
i have new rocks that i got second hand and i can absolutely say they are worth the money if you can find them for under $200 ( which i know is still exorbitant but if you do choose to save up ) the way the leather on the inside fits and the way they feel, the sole too, to me i feel like i can see them lasting forever. im not rlly sure if mine are “vintage” or just old though
girl i just wanna say you have quickly become my new favorite youtuber! your videos are some of the most creative, fun, and inspiring that I have ever come across and I look forward to ur uploads every week. keep doing you!
omg the newrocks are so reallll... ive been obsessed with them for years now but i just cant buy a pair 🥲 that hat at 12:56 is soooo cute ive been meaning to make a similar one ever since i saw a member of xdinary heroes wearing one of the same style for their new album ! i think a lot of the things you showed are very diyable so id say thrift stuff and have fun altering them !!!! ❤️
I had a pair of new rocks that I got for a really good deal! They were heavy and nicely made, however they just were not comfortable to wear so I ended up selling them. I’m a size 9 and I first got them in a 39- a bit too small. Got them again in a 40- a bit too big, but still wearable. But yeah they just weren’t comfy, my feet always hurt when I wore them >__< they were iconic though!
idk about the quality right now but i got new rocks for my 16th birthday (and still payed for almost half) but they lasted me for 6 years so far. and i wore them so damn much too. when i worked at walmart they saved my toes when a pallet fell on my foot since they’re steel toed. they’re a lil scuffed up and you can see why lol but otherwise all good
ive been trying to be more thoughtful of my purchases, i sometimes will impulse buy because i like so many different things / alternations of a style so much and then end up with a closet that's too full 😭also i been wanting a george gina and lucy bag sooo bad omfg but i cannot find one that i click with enough to pull the trigger on... i'm like waiting for the right one to come up LOL
George Gina and lucy has sooo many bags so def wait until you find the one that your soul connects with lol I remember I found mine on ebay and it was like fate beacuse I wasn't even looking for it and then it just appeared with a discount too 🙈
I have a pair of new rocks I got really cheap from t.k Maxx, I'm surprised that people said the quality was bad, I've worn them practically every day for the last three years without any issues, maybe it depends on the type of boot?
Yeah that's what I was wondering too!! Definitely have seen a lot of mixed reviews, but I would also definitely still take my chances and invest in a pair to see for myself lol
@@flowlotlmy new rocks are the best boots i own, i look at them and know i will have them forever! and the soles are replaceable so i can also own them forever
Loved the video Monica! hoping you do recieve all these items whether or not u become a rich girl!! have you thought about having a P.O box for brands and subscribers to send you things? I feel like so many cool people and businesses including myself😆 would love to send you things!

This should be a series, all the items u picked are so cool
id buy therapy but clothes work
Retail therapy is my type of therapy 🙈
the save the queen pieces look so appealing to me along with the gentle monster glasses:) also, jean paul gaultier's designs look seductive
buy less choose well 🧷

Ommmg thank u so much for the insight!! I have my eye particularly on the one with the chains so it's good to know that it's comfortable 🙏
@@flowlotl they also do sales pretty regularly so definitely wait for those! never paid full price for mine 😅
first bag is crocheted! it could probably be a pretty easy diy
