Kathy Behan agree so badly with you. Claire needs to stop focusing on and responding to the negative crowd, unless it's constructive critics. If it's catty then ignore it.
I understand 100% your point. #1. Don’t spend money before you’ve earned it and #2 consider your current priorities and make sure your purchases are in-line with them. Priorities are fluid, depends where we are in life, todays responsibilities, future responsibilities, goals, etc. Judgements from others are immaterial when we know we are careful about #1 and #2. I think it was really a good point to make. 👍. PS. You’re nails look beautiful.
Grandma King here 75yrs old, love your blog.I have same feelings as you, I know what you mean but if you want to keep pearl slip on, take them to a jewler see if the pearls are good and if and when you are done with them if he could make you neck lace, earings or whatever you want and will not lose anything. You are a sweetheart, lol
No it wasn’t “rubbish” I love seeing someone other than myself go through these internal struggles. If the Chanel slides were comfortable you could justify their use. As they look to be really uncomfortable you did the right thing by returning them. Just my two cents!
Claire, you are so refreshingly honest and real. I totally understand what you mean about your Chanel purchase. It is much harder and wiser to spend your hard-earned money on things that will bring you happiness and make your heart sing like your conservatory. So many in the luxe community don't talk about that ever! Thank you for being you, this is why we love you! X Leyla
12 min. To explain why the shoe is not worth it to you. You're not broke. Your decision is based on what is important to you, and you determined the flip flop is not worth the splurge.
Guurl..youre back at it!!! I cant afford anything but I love this kind of vids...😍😍👏(and thats a shame what happened with your car...but keep your head high...we need you😉)
They look like they were made for you Claire , keep them , life’s too short for regrets !! You know you want them , you really are so sweet ! Claire you are the only u tuber who is honest , ENJOY THEM ! X
I don’t know how you don’t have more followers Claire, you are honest, genuine, extremely caring and helpful dishing out valuable advice to us all while stressing we must not get into debt for luxury things. You are a pleasure to watch, I love your style and I love your styling tips. I’ve learnt so much from you over the past months and you have helped me save for luxury items instead of diving in to use my credit card xx
I've been so worried about you and Paris! I can't imagine how you must be feeling about all that has been happening. It was truly so much at one time, and so close together. I pray you are feeling safe and encouraged. Thank you for even thinking about us during this crazy time... you definitely have other priorities to think about. Also- you always make sense to me! I process out loud, too, so it is never a bother to hear.
We love you Claire. It's sad when people judge you based on what you have or what you don't have. I know how humble you are despite a marvelous closet. Just know for the one or two who criticize you, theres 100 (actually 54k) that admire you.
So, I am totally fully with you on your value assessment on shoes vs. other things you could otherwise budget for. I have done this (return items) a few times myself and it’s HARD because I always want to keep everything, but ultimately its for the best. I love your videos - Chanel collector (+ some Hermes) like yourself - keep the videos rollin!
I absolutely love your hair up, you look so lovely!💕💖 and oh my god that leather jacket looks amazing, you can honestly wear anything and look so gorgeous!!!
I would return the Chanel shoes. It’s one thing for a pair of gorgeous heels to be uncomfortable but flats have no excuse! If they’re hard soled and unpleasant to walk in, they’re not worth anything at all to me.
I for one got it. I was taught these values from a young age. It’s called being sensible with your money and I like the fact that you care about your subscribers enough to remind us of that ❤️
I think you explained well Claire. We all should be wise about our budgets but allow ourselves a luxury item now and again. and our luxury item doesn't have to be a high ticket item it could be a beautiful silk scarf or compact or lipstick. I think we also need to consider what our cap price should be for an expensive item. We as consumers can make the mistake of pushing up the pricing of luxury items by purchasing items that are ridiculously overpriced. We have power collectively as consumers and could prevent this escalation in over pricing by simply refusing to support it. It would be helpful to fashion lovers for you to address this issue in future videos as well as how to identify a luxury items value aside from branding to teach consumers what items to spend on and why luxury brands should be held to a standard that actually reflects quality as well as branding. I think the heart jacket is so cute!
Hi Claire, Such interesting video and so relatable to me. I know exactly how you feel. When I was in uni a couple of years ago, being a student with no job, I bought a LV briefcase with the monthly allowance my parents had given me to cover my ‘educational expenses’. Money they obviously worked hard for to earn. To this day, I have never felt so ungrateful and stupid as I did back then, buying an item that I really couldn’t afford. I now have graduated from uni and just started my dream job. I am financially comfortable, still nowhere near rich, but I have definitely learned my lesson to stay within my own means. You are very responsible and thanks for setting a great example. Life is all about being sensible and spending money on the priorities that you have set for yourself. *EDIT* the items that you have shown in this vid are JAW DROPPING🤩
I honestly feel like you don't need to worry about coming across poorly, you explain your situations so much better than you think you do! Everyone is in completely different financial situations, someone is going to be worse off than someone else and then they're will always be some one better off! Thats just life! You do you, Claire - you're smashing it! xo
Claire!!! You are entitled to treat yourself and not have to explain yourself! Everyone lives on different wages and live to there means and that is exactly what you are doing! Own it girl your beautiful!
Totally got your point across! I love the rule "if you cant afford to buy it twice dont buy it" I should definatly use that rule more often! Thank you for the advice! Love your videos!
Thank you for actually talking about something so important as personal finance! I feel like a lot of people don't know that you're supposed to actually afford the things you are buying and not be putting yourself in debt just because people on social media buys this or that. So thank you! And so sorry about your car ❤️️
Thank you, thank you, thank you! We all learn from one another even when those things are common sense things. I totally agree with you that buying things on credit when you can’t pay them off right away is looking for trouble...and I especially loved the bit that you said about “if a person can’t buy two of the same items, then one can’t afford to buy one”. That made complete sense to me. I appreciate the effort you put into this video. Xo.
I know exactly what you mean, Claire! As much as you love something and at the time you can physically afford it, sometimes if you’re compromising on something else it takes the enjoyment out of the new purchase. And for me I get that uneasy feeling in my stomach about ‘What if there’s an emergency and now I don’t have the money to deal with x’ 😜💖
Aw so sorry about your car and fraud stuff, really crap. Please don't ever apologize for your success. I can't afford all the designer things but would never begrudge you them, it lovely watching your style and content. I'm 46 but still love to learn whats out there and pick up tips to suit me at my own buget. Keep up the good work, it's inspirational and a breath of fresh air. 💐💐
I completely get where you're coming from on this one. It's definitely hard to spend that kind of money on something that won't last when you've got goals. Glad you talked us through this one--I feel most bloggers don't--and I appreciate the honesty and insight.
Hey Claire, they do have a similar type of shoe on the Banana Republic web site, of course it’s not Chanel, but certainly an inspiration design. However , the shoes are beautiful!
Your explanation makes complete sense to me, I am glad that you returned the shoes given that there are more important things, to you, that you want to spend your money on. I go thru many tennis matches in my head when deciding on luxe purchases, so you are not alone there.
All your points about spending were spot on. You are an "influencer," so it's great that you are using your platform to help others make some wise decisions when it comes to buying non-essentials. I adore Chanel and pearly things, too, but I hope you returned those pretty slides. As you noted, they are uncomfortable... and they did look like something Zara would do. But even more important is the fact that you kept going back and forth about them. (Been there/done that!) I've found that if I have reservations about my purchase, it probably isn't the right thing for me, and I'll just end up regretting it. Always trust your gut! Xoxo
Yay I love your videos! I’m in graduate school and I save up my pennies for designer bags! So I love your reviews. And don’t get nervous girl its your money and you were trying to explain that the flip fops aren’t a good investment. But its your money and you don’t have to justify that to anyone! ❤️❤️
I am SO MAD at seeing u nervous on explaining yourself. Who the hell click on a CHANEL pr whatever unboxing video to be judgeful? Girls!!!! GET URSELF TOGETHER!!! You are clearly so unconfortable with sharing lately because of all the hate, always being misjudged and just judged overall!!!! She is expending her money on something and getting use of it! You girls sending hating after spending minutes watching a luxury video you clearly wont get anything useful of - since you are so hateful on luxs!!!!! Such a generation of “strong” woman talking about feminism and power yet so easy to jump on each others neck!!!!!! That is sad... I loved the video Claire, talk with those who support you - leave the bitterness to the bitter living.
Great video, the slip on shoes are gorgeous. At the end of the day, it's "Your Money" you know how you've '"earnt" the money to afford them, you don't have to justify yourself. At this moment in time, I can't afford most of the stuff that you show on your video's, for me, it's a little bit of escapism. I like your style, you come across as a lovely person and you don't come across as someone up their own backside x
With leather jackets it's about the vibes it give. I sometimes say to myself I already have a leather jacket. But it depends on the style, hardware of the jacket. One leather jacket can give you edgy vibes where another can give you a urban cool vibes xx
The shoes are pretty, with this said I being middle aged now, we moved into our home when it was brand new, now nearly 10 years later, we've installed wood floors, we are getting ready to put French doors in the guest bedroom leading out into a small serene court yard, neither my husband nor myself are huge clothes/shoe fanatics! We both take pride in our appearance, however I think through before making a designer purchase, as what's more important accessories for the courtyard/guest bedroom or a 4-5 night stay in Vegas or $1,000 pair of shoes, hell to the no! The designer shoes can wait! As a Priest once said " I've never seen a U-haul truck following a hearse " I would Never purchase a first class ticket to Vietnam, but I would to Scotland or Ireland.
Hello gorgeous girl.. especially loved this vid because ur so real, and pls don’t feel that you need to explain yourself. Most of us are here because we like to see what you got and revel in ur excitement 😅 please please please I hope you kept the Chanel slides, they’re soooo beautiful. Enjoy them darling girl you deserve them. Loved everything you got, especially the pink manolos and the leather jacket 👌🏼thank you so much for sharing. xx 🌸💕🌸💕
You explained well and I think you made the right decision about the shoes. I do this with a £50 pair of shoes hehe, budget difference of course, but the deliberation and reasoning is pretty much the same! xx
Loved this vlog Claire! Get the Zara inspired version of the Chanel sliders - both colourways if you have to! It’s not worth the money! That’s my humble opinion 😘
I love your chatty vids, yeah they are gorgeous and they have pretty much captured my heart watching this BUT you (and I ) can live without them. Good decision. Sorry you've had a shitty time lately, don't stop being fabulous xx
I think if you return those slides your gonna regret it in a couple of months!! They are stunning 😍 if you can afford it just enjoy it! It’s not going to take you long to save that £850 for your conservatory! I would wear them to a wedding any day! Teamed with the pearl bag ❤️👌🏼
Wow! You struggled so much in that video. Just enjoy your purchase :) you obviously DO have the money so unashamedly spend it. It's not like you are running yourself into debt. You have a good sound intelligent head on your shoulders. You made the money. You have prioritised luxury as something you love and have figured out how to have it in your life, sensibly. Well done. More power (& luxury) to you.
I totally get it, you are giving good advice! I think you should take the shoes back if you feel it is wrong to keep them. You should get the new HRH pearl bag strap though!
People those days. Writing supportive comments and "oh you don't have to explain yourself", and then relog to another account and write shit: "ooooh!!! You said you can't afford!! Wtf?!Aaaaa". Roflmao. Love the slippers Claire, so pity you didn't keep them, I think they were a gem! =)
Totally understand what you were saying. The struggle is always real, but I truly think as gorgeous as they are, if your heart doesn’t sing whenever you look at them, they are not worth it. Remember back to how joyful you were when you looked at your MIU MIU slides. You couldn’t stop smiling. Return these and don’t look back....in a week you’ll be all the prouder of yourself🤗💞
You made the right decision even though you could afford the slides you decided to put the money to something more substantial. I like your thinking- not every frivolous purchase is satisfying!
Love your videos and how real you are when trying to explains things. Please don't worry what other people think. It's your money and you can spend it how you want. And if you feel you can't justify something you that's fine too!
The shoes are spectacular, but I understand that we dont always need everything we want. Sometimes, you feel better for not having the thing you “want” and that is best. Good on you for soliciting feedback on the internet - I hope people were nice and reasonable.
Understood exactly the point you were making and had the same conversation only last week with a friend. It’s about whether the item is worth that amount of money and whether you can justify it, it’s not a matter of affordability. This was the same day I bought Chanel sling backs and whilst in Harrods saw those exact shoes and thought of you! Go with your heart. x
I was leaning on you taking them back because they do look like Zara, but after you put them on, omg they are gorgeous, I think I'd keep them. Good Luck on your decision:)
Claire, this is a luxury channel, please stop paying attention to the negative comments, don’t read them,delete them. Stop trying to justify what you buy, it’s no ones business. We enjoy your videos because you have luxury items. You will never satisfy everyone, stop trying-they don’t really care, they enjoy messing with your mind. Enjoy your shopping because we enjoy watching you and stop apologizing🤓🤓
Gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. It makes me so sad because people are so judgmental about others, you explained your point very well ,If someone doesn’t understand it’s because they aren’t mature enough to get it. Calm down, relax and don’t let people fluster you. At the end of the day ... it’s your money and you don’t have to justify yourself to anyone !!! ❤️
I have the Manolo’s in blue and I must say I find them very hard to walk in because the vamp of the shoe needs to be deeper. I cant part with them and I just walk slowly because I feel like they are going to fall off my feet. They are so beautiful that’s why I don’t get rd of them..lol, The Chanel slides are gorgeous and I think the leather jacket is very cute. I have about 15 leather jackets so I understand your love for them.
Love your videos! Whilst you’re doing a what to wear series, could you do a video on what to wear for graduation maybe for the student and guests! Safe to say me and my mom are stuck 😘😂
Claire you need to stop explaining yourself for people who don't matter, love you and your style xx
Kathy Behan agree so badly with you. Claire needs to stop focusing on and responding to the negative crowd, unless it's constructive critics. If it's catty then ignore it.
I realize it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch new tv shows online?
I understand 100% your point. #1. Don’t spend money before you’ve earned it and #2 consider your current priorities and make sure your purchases are in-line with them. Priorities are fluid, depends where we are in life, todays responsibilities, future responsibilities, goals, etc. Judgements from others are immaterial when we know we are careful about #1 and #2.

Loved this video; I think you explained everything well and the pieces are all stunning!
I live my luxury life through YOU-I can literally afford nothing! The slides are GORGEOUS, I adore anything pearls
Hi Claire,
Such interesting video and so relatable to me. I know exactly how you feel.
When I was in uni a couple of years ago, being a student with no job, I bought a LV briefcase with the monthly allowance my parents had given me to cover my ‘educational expenses’. Money they obviously worked hard for to earn. To this day, I have never felt so ungrateful and stupid as I did back then, buying an item that I really couldn’t afford.

You are very responsible and thanks for setting a great example. Life is all about being sensible and spending money on the priorities that you have set for yourself.
*EDIT* the items that you have shown in this vid are JAW DROPPING🤩
Pink Manolos are sublime! Heart jacket is a must, incredible!!! Pearl slides not my fav but they do look nice on just not worth the money.
I honestly feel like you don't need to worry about coming across poorly, you explain your situations so much better than you think you do! Everyone is in completely different financial situations, someone is going to be worse off than someone else and then they're will always be some one better off! Thats just life! You do you, Claire - you're smashing it! xo
Sarah Lom! Well said, totally agree 👍
👍
Sarah Lom! In
I just love you! One of the realist you tubers around! X
Totally made sense! Was prob the right decision to bring them back. Love the honesty.
Return them! You’re obviously not happy, so take them back and relieve yourself of the guilt :)
Claire!!! You are entitled to treat yourself and not have to explain yourself! Everyone lives on different wages and live to there means and that is exactly what you are doing! Own it girl your beautiful!
Totally got your point across! I love the rule "if you cant afford to buy it twice dont buy it" I should definatly use that rule more often! Thank you for the advice! Love your videos!

You remind me of Princess Diana... your face features not to mention accent. Just lovely same grace and elegance shines through.
The leather jacket is beautiful! Went well with your all white ensemble! ♥️♥️♥️
I really love your maje jacket Claire! I saw this one in Paris and was totally in love with it! Girl, you can never have enough jackets
Thank you, thank you, thank you! We all learn from one another even when those things are common sense things.

That heart leather jacket is awesome 🖤🖤🖤. I totally understand the leather jacket obsession. I have so many!
I love everything especially the leather jacket looks so good on you
Darlin!! You don’t have to explain anything!! Like Paris says.. it’s your money!! You’re a sweetheart, period!! Xoxo
I saw that heart jacket in the window of Maje in Paris and I NEEEEEED IT!
I know exactly what you mean, Claire! As much as you love something and at the time you can physically afford it, sometimes if you’re compromising on something else it takes the enjoyment out of the new purchase. And for me I get that uneasy feeling in my stomach about ‘What if there’s an emergency and now I don’t have the money to deal with x’ 😜💖
I love your videos. So happy when a new one appears. I agree with your philosophy on luxury and how to balance it with other parts of your life.
Aw so sorry about your car and fraud stuff, really crap. Please don't ever apologize for your success. I can't afford all the designer things but would never begrudge you them, it lovely watching your style and content.

What nail polish are you wearing?? They are beautiful!!

I get you and I love the pearl slip ons. So pretty!
Thanks for posting...I totally get it , I have done the same thing in the past...same philosophy...

Absolutely love the ivory star dress with the lady dior bag and grey shoes!!! Just gorgeous Claire xx 👜👠⭐💛
I totally get what your saying. I think these shoes would be great if they were a classic chanel slingback with the pearls embellishing the toe cap.
With leather jackets it's about the vibes it give. I sometimes say to myself I already have a leather jacket. But it depends on the style, hardware of the jacket. One leather jacket can give you edgy vibes where another can give you a urban cool vibes xx
Yes Claire take them back xxx
Claire please share what your earrings are please. Thankyou and regards🌹
The shoes are pretty, with this said I being middle aged now, we moved into our home when it was brand new, now nearly 10 years later, we've installed wood floors, we are getting ready to put French doors in the guest bedroom leading out into a small serene court yard, neither my husband nor myself are huge clothes/shoe fanatics!

Sometimes you need to talk things out loud to make decisions. That's what it sounds like you were doing. Love your videos!
OMG! Those shoes are stunning!
Hello gorgeous girl.. especially loved this vid because ur so real, and pls don’t feel that you need to explain yourself. Most of us are here because we like to see what you got and revel in ur excitement 😅 please please please I hope you kept the Chanel slides, they’re soooo beautiful. Enjoy them darling girl you deserve them. Loved everything you got, especially the pink manolos and the leather jacket 👌🏼thank you so much for sharing. xx 🌸💕🌸💕
I have to buy that jacket😻 absolutely love it!!!
You put a lot of things into perspective with that chat! Saving is always better. Thanks for the video.
You explained well and I think you made the right decision about the shoes. I do this with a £50 pair of shoes hehe, budget difference of course, but the deliberation and reasoning is pretty much the same! xx
Please stop being so hard on yourself! You’re amazing and so genuine.
Loved this vlog Claire! Get the Zara inspired version of the Chanel sliders - both colourways if you have to! It’s not worth the money! That’s my humble opinion 😘
For me it is buying sandals for that price. Boots, pumps, etc., that are timeless are, for me.
I wish you would stop apologising all the time. Don’t worry what people think, or think you have to explain yourself all the time! You do you girl!
I think they’ll look great with the Chanel wedding bag and the Pearl jacket with some jeans.
I love your chatty vids, yeah they are gorgeous and they have pretty much captured my heart watching this BUT you (and I ) can live without them. Good decision. Sorry you've had a shitty time lately, don't stop being fabulous xx
Totally agree with your philosophy on spending!
You are so right about LVR. They are so fast. Never had any problems with them. Love your videos. You are always so honest and real. ❤️👍
I think if you return those slides your gonna regret it in a couple of months!! They are stunning 😍 if you can afford it just enjoy it! It’s not going to take you long to save that £850 for your conservatory! I would wear them to a wedding any day! Teamed with the pearl bag ❤️👌🏼
Wow! You struggled so much in that video. Just enjoy your purchase :) you obviously DO have the money so unashamedly spend it. It's not like you are running yourself into debt. You have a good sound intelligent head on your shoulders. You made the money. You have prioritised luxury as something you love and have figured out how to have it in your life, sensibly. Well done. More power (& luxury) to you.
Well said! You made total sense. Love your videos so much 😊
I totally get it, you are giving good advice! I think you should take the shoes back if you feel it is wrong to keep them. You should get the new HRH pearl bag strap though!
People those days. Writing supportive comments and "oh you don't have to explain yourself", and then relog to another account and write shit: "ooooh!!! You said you can't afford!! Wtf?!Aaaaa". Roflmao. Love the slippers Claire, so pity you didn't keep them, I think they were a gem! =)
Totally understand what you were saying. The struggle is always real, but I truly think as gorgeous as they are, if your heart doesn’t sing whenever you look at them, they are not worth it. Remember back to how joyful you were when you looked at your MIU MIU slides. You couldn’t stop smiling. Return these and don’t look back....in a week you’ll be all the prouder of yourself🤗💞
Great explanation and good logic - good reasons to choose to take them back. Smart girl!
You made the right decision even though you could afford the slides you decided to put the money to something more substantial. I like your thinking- not every frivolous purchase is satisfying!
Love your videos and how real you are when trying to explains things. Please don't worry what other people think. It's your money and you can spend it how you want. And if you feel you can't justify something you that's fine too!
You don’t need to explain yourself to others, if they don’t like it they can move on!!! Love the videos
Love your 💛jacket and dresses!! And don’t explain yourself all the time, you’re making (ànd spending) your own money!💪😘
You can’t have too many leather jackets. I’m addicted to them myself xx
The shoes are spectacular, but I understand that we dont always need everything we want. Sometimes, you feel better for not having the thing you “want” and that is best. Good on you for soliciting feedback on the internet - I hope people were nice and reasonable.
Understood exactly the point you were making and had the same conversation only last week with a friend. It’s about whether the item is worth that amount of money and whether you can justify it, it’s not a matter of affordability. This was the same day I bought Chanel sling backs and whilst in Harrods saw those exact shoes and thought of you! Go with your heart. x
I was leaning on you taking them back because they do look like Zara, but after you put them on, omg they are gorgeous, I think I'd keep them. Good Luck on your decision:)
I totally get you Claire when you spoke about the shoes. Love yah by the way! You have inspire many of my purchases lol xxx
Completely agree with your points. You've earned it, you can spend it as you wish!
I completely understand where you’re coming from. If you can afford it doesn’t mean you have to buy it. I live by that motto.
Claire, this is a luxury channel, please stop paying attention to the negative comments, don’t read them,delete them. Stop trying to justify what you buy, it’s no ones business. We enjoy your videos because you have luxury items. You will never satisfy everyone, stop trying-they don’t really care, they enjoy messing with your mind. Enjoy your shopping because we enjoy watching you and stop apologizing🤓🤓
Love your nail colour in this video. ❤️ I understand 100% on the shoes. Good decision to take them back. Money can be better spent elsewhere 👍🏻
Gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. It makes me so sad because people are so judgmental about others, you explained your point very well ,If someone doesn’t understand it’s because they aren’t mature enough to get it. Calm down, relax and don’t let people fluster you. At the end of the day ... it’s your money and you don’t have to justify yourself to anyone !!! ❤️
You are great Cliare!
Those Chanel sandals are awesome! :) Sound financial advise; I hope those who need it 'get it'.
Love how you worked threw it...
All that truly matters is that you like it. After all it's you wearing the item, not them! So wear what you like! Hold your head up high and be proud!
I have the Manolo’s in blue and I must say I find them very hard to walk in because the vamp of the shoe needs to be deeper. I cant part with them and I just walk slowly because I feel like they are going to fall off my feet. They are so beautiful that’s why I don’t get rd of them..lol, The Chanel slides are gorgeous and I think the leather jacket is very cute. I have about 15 leather jackets so I understand your love for them.
the chanel shoes are stunnnningggggg xx
Love your videos! Whilst you’re doing a what to wear series, could you do a video on what to wear for graduation maybe for the student and guests! Safe to say me and my mom are stuck 😘😂
