Do you have a holiday spending budget for all the sales?
Good video!!
Thanks for stopping by babes
I'm getting my hair locked ASAP ❤ Thank you for the video
Makes me happy! I’m glad to help.
This is a great video. I recently moved and I’m going over my stuff and I also have a storage you were right we have so many clothes more than we think we have and you are absolutely gorgeous.
Hoarding and overconsumption are besties I’m convinced. I’m glad to hear you’re letting go and better energy friend 🫰🏾
What phase of your closet clean out are you on?
She knows
Aghast. I Was Aghast. You look unreasonable hot
How’s your mini Wallace holding up?
yeah the rebrand of layaway as BNPL is wild
Right?? It’s like damn trends are really every 20 years!
Lovisa is my fave. I always go in store but their website is amazing
What financial myths are you working on or conquered?
Honestly Edikted jewelry is sooo cute and sooo affordable
Does it last tho
These buy now pay later traps are just the new version of QVC 😅. I have 1 credit card and we pay it in FULL each month. I get credit card offers in the mail and I look at the interest rates...22% and HIGHER! I remember when my parent's credit cards had a 2%-3% interest rate and they are still in debt 20 years later... I'm not falling for these consumer traps. I enjoy mending and altering the clothes I have (hand sewing is relaxing, artistic, and rewarding for me). My friends appreciate my hand made gifts as well as the ones I plan and save up for.
Literally said the same thing to a friend. It’s QVC online. That’s the thing about all these instant gratification consummerism ploys, it relys on lack of proper planning and dopamine traps to thrive. Glad to see you have a strong financial background!
I have used Affirm for purchases, but small purchases, only about $200-$300. Big items like furniture or appliances I either bought it out right or on rare occasions, put it on the company's credit card. I never bought the next big purchases until I paid it off the one before it.
I truly believe people can be smart with it. If you know you have the cash funds to pay it off, same way with credit cards, though BNPL is not great to build credit history but you know what I mean. If you pay in full, I think use it away but people aren’t doing what you’re doing, friend.
Your an angel, God Bless you, shopping done. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just bought this bag in Stockholm! When I got it home I noticed some marks that Im thinking might be scratches on the front and im semi freaking out, but yours looks amazing and much shinier than mine! can I ask what you use to clean/condition it? maybe it would help with mine! I literally wore it for a couple of hours and was so so fragile with it so im really confused as to what happened.
It’s not you trust me. I used Lexol on the bag at the time not often but every few weeks or so. The bag is definitely sensitive so I find myself conditioning this one wayyyy more than my other puzzles. more so that I’m not bothered by the scuffs.
Affordable for 65$ what?!
I would love to see people incorporate luxurious items in their everyday style. I would like the mental energy to care for things individually (I don't got time to hand wash all my knits nor the space to dry them flat. I have like 5 pairs of pants I need to hem and mend some holes in too) I think we need; Repairable good quality shoes (and cobblers in every city) Colourful high quality basics & elevated basics Pieces that could be passed down for generations Also I think we're clever enough to make clothing adaptable to changing body sizes throughout the years, I want deep pleats, lacing, elastics, I want to be able to gain or lose 10 lbs and still fit everything.
Nowadays we don’t get quality at the typical retail level and even at luxury levels now. Quality quality quality is what I understood from your statement. If the quality is there, it’ll stand through tests and trials.
@@themariafade Precisely! A well-made piece of clothing is, to me, timeless. The trends will fluctuate and tastes will vary but a quality item from 10, 20, 50 years ago will still read as a good item today.
Checkout readymade jewelry super cool brand the science behind their materials is cool I have a few bracelets they last don’t tarnish and cute classic styles.
Quiet luxury will never die.
Time will tell 🙇🏾♀️
What are you looking forward to as we move away from the quiet luxury?
Honestly, I don’t know, but I hope we’ll keep the natural fibres from this trend and maybe move to more “practical” clothes rather than just good looking clothes.
Would love to know if it fits easily over the shoulder when wearing a thick overcoat or jacket? Great review, thank you 🙏
It does well enough but it’s a bit tighter than I’d like. I have a review coming soon. Stay tuned!
So true, the middle class is the new working class. Smart lady, thanks for your tips and insights, much appreciated! I have the iPhone 7 still 😉. More important things in my budget. But still learning to improve my habits elsewhere.
At the end of the day life is meant to be lived and enjoyed but in a way that accommodates us now and for our future selves.
The "rewiring" is my plan for 2025. Part of that is lowering what I consume on social media
You can do it! When I decide to reduce my hours on socials, surprise surprise the spending urges lowered.
How are you managing your budget? Do you have one?
GUYS PLEASE DONT BUY FROM EVRY JEWELS!!!! They are scamers i ordered jewelery like in summer AND THEY DONT DELIVERED IT!!!!! When i text then they just say your order stuck and its every STUPID TIME when i text them!!!! …. Omg guys evry jewels is so overated i am veryyy sadd about it bc 😢😢😢😢
I just ordered from them before I saw lots of people saying it's a scam. I looked at lots of videos and some people said they got theirs and some said they didn't. And hopefully they don't steal info too!!
I literally went to Loewe last week and they don’t make the classic anymore. Maybe just the small.
It definitely feels like a first come first serve situation with the classics.

First time *gtdupe* kuch different colors ka LV bag dekha..very elegant....good choice
beautifull bags j adore
Thank you 😊
Yes ma'am! Love them!
You’re so sweet ☺️☺️
Will you consider getting the mini? If not, why?
I have a preloved mini that was my first into the puzzle world before I became obsessed. It’s amazing for dinners, quick errands, check out that review too.
Which one is on your wishlist?
You are so right they dont teach you these things in school. I tried to teach my younger cousins (22) im 28 it went from one ear and out the other but i guess they will learn and make mistakes. The important thing is to plant a seed of knowlege it'll grow eventually
it’s intentional we don’t learn it so we continue the cycle and keep the wealthy that thrive on the labor of the middle and low class. But when you tell others it’s like a conspiracy. Just keep planting your seeds and compound your interest 🫰🏾
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching 💖
Inspiring! ✨
You’re so sweet 🫰🏾
How do you feel when you have a nice necklace on?
King ice?
Girl! I’ve been tryna do my nails for 7 weeks but school just held me back. I’m tryna finish university so I can be free for 2 years or so before getting a job! Also I’m first! 👍🥰
those little self care things can be a great way to unwind post school! 10/10 recommend
What storage solutions have you implemented into your closet?
Hi Maria! First comment! I think you did a really nice job waking us thru important financial practices to develop. Something you said stuck out, and that is the idea of being high maintenance bc it allows you to be low maintenance. This is the truth! Thinking of getting locs installed as well but need to save up, bc that price tag is not cheap. Great content!
Yesss the sisterlocks have truly been a worthy investment for me. I find a lot of things are like that, a bit of effort upfront for ease later. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
30 somethings, drop some advice below I might’ve missed.
Need wholesale jewelry can contact me, the price is favorable😊
What bag is the one in the thumbnail? I like that one.
Yess that one is the Loewe Puzzle in mellow calfskin
your hair looks beautiful
You’re so sweet thank you 💖
thank you so much for these!!! I have a new wishlist item for my 29 1/2 birthday on May 8th hehehe
Girl yesss wait for the deals and come tf up on a new bag 💖
Do you use any product to clean and moisturize your bags?
Yes I used to use Lexol but Leather Honey is so good! Totally worth it imo rstyle.me/+u9k4lYbfNlmC2tnNKSIS_Q
Can we PLEASE talk about freaking Kendra Scott? I mean I’m OBSESSED.
Are you a model 😮😮😮😮
You’re actually too cute 🥰
I have Sisterlocks from a real consultant. Sisterlocks are the best hair decision I ever made. I was just talking to my son about my curls(plural)- carefree curl, wave Nuveau, tcb curl, and many others.
Yes no regrets at all! This morning I woke up and scooped up my hair into a bun and that reaffirms this decision for me. Congratulations on your journey as well.
That half a 100 dollars
