I love that you're so down to earth and articulate. This is pretty much how I save for vacations. Unfortunately my income does not allow me to travel, contribute to retirement, and buy luxury purses (first world problems), but I enjoy watching these videos and living vicariously through you all. For me, right now in my life, the enjoyment I get from seeing the world is the priority. I work for a non profit and I do love my job, though it may never provide me a luxurious lifestyle.
+JessieBanana Thank you for your lovely comment! Travel is a fantastic way to spend your money - I traveled a lot as a child so I feel like I got it out of my system a bit, otherwise that's absolutely how I would be spending my money now! Material things are just that - it's the experiences and memories that you create that are the most important thing :) xx
I agree with all the comments here! Working for a non profit is better than a luxury bag. It'll earn you way more respect than double C's ever will! Keep up the good work! 👏👏
Yes!! Yes to everything here! Sometimes I feel like people judge me because of my bag purchases-and I just want to say "honey it's all about smart money management-I paid off my car, student loans and other essentials first!" And I always keep that larger goal in mind when that $30 pair of shoes catches my eye or that fancy Starbucks drink! Plus I make my lunch everyday! Ha ok. I'm done. Great tips. Subbing!
Despite this video's title, your tips are very pragmatic. In fact, what you shared are general life tips vis-a-vis financial goals. I agree with everything you said, especially being picky, creating separate "savings" account, knowing your priorities. I am a heavy shopper too but I use my luxury purchases like a "dangling carrot" tied up to my personal goals. For example, weight loss goal= next dream bag. I keep up with exercise and healthy diet and save up on the side to motivate me.
Thank you so much for keeping it real for all of us who are into luxury handbags. It's so easy for us viewers to look at Hermes, Chanel, Celine reviews/what's in my bag/unboxing/etc. that we hardly see nor hear what these ladies do behind the scene (cooking at home more, looking out for coupons, buying on the sale items at grocery stores, etc.) to make these purchases happen. I'm starting my own luxury handbag collection and I find that budgeting and prioritizing is a challenge but as long as I keep watching these videos as motivations, I too, will continue to build my own collection! Thanks again!
Not having my hair cut/coloured/blow dried for over a year saves me hundreds.It is one length waist length. I also dont drink/smoke go out partying.I buy my food in Aldi now and save over £25 a week doing that compared to Tesco. I am allmost there having saved for a chanel handbag.But my partner thinks im mad and wasteful.I am buying one regardless.
I felt this is more like managing ur money video than affording a chanel. I really like this video nd it is exactly like my mindset nd it all makes sense!!!
Thank you for the amazing advice! :) During my first year at uni this was exactly how I saved up for my first Chanel bag - a mini classic flap in black and lambskin, which still remains my most loved possession to this day
I've watched several youtubers address this topic, but this was the best one! I LOVE your idea of only spending on the "extras" for a short period each month. It's a great way to decide what really matters, if it's important enough to you, there's always next month. I'd love to see some videos on your handbag/closet clean out, whenever you decide to do that. Might help motivate me to do the same! :)
+rishstsa Thank you so much for your sweet comment! That's seriously so nice of you to say so! That really is a 'system' that works for me because it's still fun (i.e. window shopping and wishlist building for 3 weeks!) but also doesn't make you go broke haha. Great idea for a video on a wardrobe clear-out! I might start planning that one for January! :) xx
Fantastic tips, this is what people should be thought in school! I will definitely be applying most of these tips to help me manage my money from now on. Thank you so much.
Love these tips--especially naming fund specifically. I had been saving for a boy bag, but putting all of that money towards grad school now. A year from now when I have (hopefully) a better job and an advanced degree, I'm restarting that fund for sure!
I love this video and the way you are always so positive and find ways of looking at life in a good way. I found your channel by accident and I'm hooked. I also love the fact that you are a YTber with a good work and education. YT needs better role models IMO. Have s gear day!
Just found your channel as I'm planning my first investment bag purchase. Your tips are brilliant! You are very intelligent and your advice is solid. My grandfather was a CFO for a Fortune 500 company and he taught me a lot about finance. He always told me "it's not how much you make, it's how much you save". Great video- glad I found your channel and subscribed 👌🏼
Thanks Amie for another great video! I love your tips - especially the one about having multiple savings accounts, as opposed to just a single. It's one of those things that seems so logical, but for some reason you never think about actually doing it. I'm so glad you suggested it, because I wouldn't have thought about it otherwise. Can't wait for your next videos! Sending you all the warmest wishes from LA! xx
Thank you so much on the advice, not only has it come in handy for saving for a new bag but also life savings. A little always goes a long way and it's just up to the person to prioritize their lifestyle. Great advice doll! 😊
Very usefull and practical tips. For me, it is one of the most useful videos on TH-cam on bags and spending. I 've decided to become your fan. Love, love, love.
True! If a woman manage to have just a decent job after graduating and not having kids for several years I think she’ll be able to save up for a chanel!
Great tips Amie! I really appreciate you making this video to help others about money. I do agree with you about easily getting swept away in getting luxury items if you are not mindful about how to spend your money. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Awesome tips ! love the quote you had watched from lipstick jungle. would definitely keep that in mind when I purchase stuffs !! Had always been someone who just purchased things because I can afford but I never had thought whether should I purchase em'.
Thank you Amie! Love this video! I really want to have a Chanel bag someday, hopefully your tips will help me to achieve it! I agree with you on what really happiness is all about. I am thankful for what I have, mostly speaking of non monetary things but I also enjoy nice and pretty items. Thanks again!
+DafneHola So glad you enjoyed it! Absolutely - having nice things is always fun but there is of course so much more to life! Striking a balance between the two is the ideal :) xx
Very good tips Amie. You always have the BEST bedding!!! We have a dog that thinks it is fine to occasionally jump up on ours, so no white bedding here. 😁
This is a great video~ I like your idea. My trick to deal with the marketing emails is to put them all in the junk mail. When I fall in love of something, I go the junk mailbox and then I always find deals.
This is kind of a novel tip I picked up: For seasons like Christmas or Easter, for example, if you're looking to buy Christmas cards or novelty bunny ears, buy them off season. I can purchase last season's Christmas cards in the summer and will get about 10 cards for a dollar and ten cents. At certain dollar stores, you can get good deals too but the line up is long and sometimes they're out of stock. And I also asked for a pair of bunny ears in February (I had a project that required bunny ears but couldn't find any until I asked the clerk if they have any in stock in the back office and was able to get 2 bunnies at a dollar each). This works great for Valentine's day cards, for little kids, if you're a parent. I will buy Vday cards the day after feb. fourteen, and save it for next year. For purchases like a car, I intend to buy it around boxing day or used. The other thing I don't do is do presents exchange with my family and certain friends (not everyone).... we sometimes wait til the day after christmas when everything is on sale and buy presents then and do exchanges. Certain consumer reports will also list months of when it's a good time to buy a laptop, GPS, TV, etc. It's also good to have abundance mentality...there's always going to be sales and someone looking to exchange their products for your money. :P Having said that...the older i get, i find the less i want in terms of quantity. I prefer connecting with people more.
Me, too! I also try to buy extremely versatile wrapping paper so I can use it for all occasions! I also noticed people who afford expensive handbags are usually good with money.
I do the separate savings accounts too. Easy way not to spend your money on other things. And I agree pre-loved is an awesome way to go to save some money. My collection is also about 50% pre-loved.
You never sound preachy. I’m sorry you even have think that someone would be so rude as to share that kind of opinion with you. Anyway, thanks for all the great tips, they are very helpful. I have a question about an old Gucci canvas bag which I love too much to stop wearing. The canvas is in great shape, as are the leather corners. The piping though, is staining the canvas where they touch. Do you know of anything I can do about that? I also have a small Gucci fabric bag (Jackie?), and one of the joins of fabric pieces has torn. The place is in a tricky corner-type place and I can’t see how it could be sewn. There’s too much stress on it to glue it. Have you any ideas for this problem? The bag is perfect otherwise, and is another favorite. Thanks!
Such a great video with very useful tips! I will keep them in my mind for when I have the urge to shop (which is practically all the time 😂). Thank you!
Hi chase , I am currently a student with no clue what to go into in uni next year. However what I do know is that I quite like to own some bags in your collection, because of this I would love to know your profession and who you work for, so that I myself may go into it as well. I love all your videos ❤️
+mint macraoons I talk about what I do in a recent Q&A video but essentially, I work in marketing for a technology company and I studied anthropology at university. HTH!
+martina mccann Hi! I did a whole video and blog post on this topic, link here: chaseamie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/how-and-where-to-buy-pre-loved-chanel.html Import fees depend where you live but I've included the country of origin for each site in my blog post :)
What a great video sweetie!! I loved it!! Could you please kindly share how you sell your handbags? Are there any consignment stores you could recommend? Thank you so much! xxxxx
+Kstyle TG Hi lovely! So the sites I use for selling are pretty much the same as the ones I use for buying (full list of sites I'm familiar with here: chaseamie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/how-and-where-to-buy-pre-loved-chanel.html) except I tend to stay away from Vestiaire Collective because of their ridiculous fees. My two go-tos at the moment are eBay and Videdressing - neither are perfect to be honest but they have the cheapest selling fees (10%) so better than what else is out there xx
+Chase Amie Awww thank you so much for sharing my friend! I'll definitely check them out! You are so so kind and thoughtful! Thank you once again and have a lovely evening! :)
I really like the idea of making a "wish list" for next pay period. I always buy stuff and then later regretting it because I rather have this other item instead. I am going to do that!
Maria Lee agree I find wishlists helpful in focusing on what I actually want the most, and you can remove items you decide you don’t really want that much
Thank you very much for your tips, especially the one for naming the account saving for what we want. I’m definitely going to open a saving account and name it Chanel WOC :) It will keep me focused!
Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks! I loved this video and the one you did on where to buy pre-loved Chanel. I'm currently saving for my first Chanel...and the struggle is real lol...but like you said, its all about setting goals, budgeting and prioritizing! :P
Really great video with the best suggestions I've seen so far on TH-cam:) Can you tell me what necklace you're wearing? I can't see it clearly, but it looks pretty!
+CapeCodBelle Thank you! This one was actually a gift so I'm afraid I have no idea where it's from! If I see anything similar about, I'll let you know though!
Good tips! Thanks. I have had an LV fund going for a while, just a part of my wallet where I keep adding bits of cash for that purpose. I have had enough in there now for about a month....but now I'm not sure I want to spend it! I've been back to the store at least 8 times looking at the bag....it's to the point where the sales people basically ignore me...😅 so...who cares?! When I'm ready....!
Hi Amie - thanks for your great videos I have found them really insightful (and hence subscribed!). Sorry if this has been asked numerous times already but could you recommend your favourite platforms/websites to sell luxury bags, particularly for brands such as Dior, Celine, Prada and LV? Thanks so much!
All your tips are great and on point! I actually bought my first LV SLG and bag last year buy doing a saving plan on 2014. It did feel so good once I paid them with the cc to get the points but paid the cc off next month. This year I couldn't save for my second one but I am thinking on getting me a part time job next year just to save for another LV bag.
+Adriana Gauzza Wow that's super dedication! It's absolutely a great feeling when you work towards something for a long time and then you suddenly realise your goal!
Great video Amie! Thanks for doing this! I love using cash back websites. It really adds up. Also, I find that parting with some designer clothes that I no longer wear helps. Elena
+Chase Amie I am going on a holiday for Chrismas from Terminal 3 Heathrow. Let me know if you need something from Chanel duty free, FYI the reason I chose to fly from T3.LOL
+Erica L Aw you are so sweet! Haha I'm totally the same... any way I can fly from terminal 3 I will! I'm actually flying out from T3 in Feb so saving my money for then - thank you SO much for the offer though, seriously so nice of you :) xx
Hi dear. I really love this vid that you made. And of course I took notes of the quote. So make sense. Now I have a question that needing ur opinion. I need a small hand bag for my dinner/grab and go bag. I have a choice of small boy 3420€ or mini square 2290€ (Chanel) . As u can see there's quite big different in price . What is ur opinion on these? Thanks xx
+shopbop holic I would 100% go for the square mini! It's the perfect evening bag in my opinion! I love the boy and often reach for my old medium but I think the square mini just looks so chic for evening. Much better value for money as well IMO!
You simply said it, " you are a bag lover"! Good luck! Nowadays, life is just so hard, we need to be practical, I would rather save my money for the rainy days, You are so lucky to have a lot of extra money....good on you! In my own opinion, it is not practical.....
Hey Chase Amie! i just subscribed to your channel, I really love your energy and aura in your videos. you really are enjoyable to watch! go girl! haha i just opened up a savings account specifically for my channel jumbo double flap in black and now the saving begins! haha thanks for the wonderful videos x
I love how this video is secretly about money management more than actually buying a Chanel handbag lol You got me, lmoa.
+The Glamquest Girl haha well they're both very closely tied together in my eyes ;)
I love that you're so down to earth and articulate. This is pretty much how I save for vacations. Unfortunately my income does not allow me to travel, contribute to retirement, and buy luxury purses (first world problems), but I enjoy watching these videos and living vicariously through you all.

+JessieBanana
I promise you that you the work you is more fulfilling than a LV bag!
I agree with all the comments here! Working for a non profit is better than a luxury bag. It'll earn you way more respect than double C's ever will! Keep up the good work! 👏👏
I really liked the line, “It’s not what I can’t afford! It’s what I choose to afford!” It’s good advice! Thanks.
KellyLQL agree
I bought 5 for my friend. She passed out. 5 flap medium black, red, beige, blue, white.
Yes!! Yes to everything here! Sometimes I feel like people judge me because of my bag purchases-and I just want to say "honey it's all about smart money management-I paid off my car, student loans and other essentials first!" And I always keep that larger goal in mind when that $30 pair of shoes catches my eye or that fancy Starbucks drink! Plus I make my lunch everyday! Ha ok. I'm done. Great tips. Subbing!
Elsie Ayala Amen girl! After paying off all my debt and saving quite a bit of money I am purchasing my first Chanel classic flap!

How long have you saved
You never come across as preach-y which is why you are the only luxury channel you subscribe to. Great tips, I've just signed up to quid co!

I heard this saying before, "spend what is left from your savings, not save what is left from your spendings. "
Fantastic tips, this is what people should be thought in school! I will definitely be applying most of these tips to help me manage my money from now on. Thank you so much.
Love these tips--especially naming fund specifically.

I was kinda enraged by the title, but the advice you've given is universal and great, especially for a recent graduate like myself. Thank you!
Thank you for making this! I really appreciate these money management and saving tips: they go beyond shopping for designer items.
Thank you Amie. A reminder of some tricks and tips for saving and budgeting never goes astray. Keep the videos coming

Love watching your videos Amie, I couldn't take my eyes off on your bed sheets!! They are beauuuuutiful!!
Great money management tips Amie, not only when saving for a bag but in general. Thanks for sharing :)
Such a helpful and pragmatic video! Excellent tips.
1. Don't have kids
Truth!
True! If a woman manage to have just a decent job after graduating and not having kids for several years I think she’ll be able to save up for a chanel!
@@aninditaprimiari192 duh but children are worth way more than a bag, having children is biggest joy and richness
Lou Rosey bags are just things. If you’ll ever have kids you’ll understand that children and their love are priceless
Great tips Amie! I really appreciate you making this video to help others about money. I do agree with you about easily getting swept away in getting luxury items if you are not mindful about how to spend your money. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
+lizzie Mac21 Thank you for your lovely comment! So glad you enjoyed the video :)
Chronic shopper.... True to us all !!! Love this gurl❤️
Just discovered you via Diary of a Spendaholic's channel. Love your down to earth attitude and genuine enthusiasm. xoxoxo
Awesome tips ! love the quote you had watched from lipstick jungle. would definitely keep that in mind when I purchase stuffs !! Had always been someone who just purchased things because I can afford but I never had thought whether should I purchase em'.

Really good advice not preachy at all. A lot I can use as I’m saving for a house but do like my shopping 😊. Thanks Amie x
Thank you Amie! Love this video! I really want to have a Chanel bag someday, hopefully your tips will help me to achieve it! I agree with you on what really happiness is all about.

Loved your video! Excellent tips and you handled the tips beautifully, focusing on reminding people to do what works for them.
+Judy's World Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! :) xx
You are Amazing ! You are right Material things don't equal happiness . Hopefully I can get a channel handbag at least three .

Great advice, especially the savings account named for what you want! Thanks!
This is kind of a novel tip I picked up:
For seasons like Christmas or Easter, for example, if you're looking to buy Christmas cards or novelty bunny ears, buy them off season. I can purchase last season's Christmas cards in the summer and will get about 10 cards for a dollar and ten cents. At certain dollar stores, you can get good deals too but the line up is long and sometimes they're out of stock. And I also asked for a pair of bunny ears in February (I had a project that required bunny ears but couldn't find any until I asked the clerk if they have any in stock in the back office and was able to get 2 bunnies at a dollar each). This works great for Valentine's day cards, for little kids, if you're a parent. I will buy Vday cards the day after feb. fourteen, and save it for next year.
For purchases like a car, I intend to buy it around boxing day or used. The other thing I don't do is do presents exchange with my family and certain friends (not everyone).... we sometimes wait til the day after christmas when everything is on sale and buy presents then and do exchanges.
Certain consumer reports will also list months of when it's a good time to buy a laptop, GPS, TV, etc.
It's also good to have abundance mentality...there's always going to be sales and someone looking to exchange their products for your money. :P
Having said that...the older i get, i find the less i want in terms of quantity. I prefer connecting with people more.
+YellowLittle Ducky Great tip! I always buy christmas gift sets, wrapping and decorations after Christmas. It's such a great way to save money!
Me, too! I also try to buy extremely versatile wrapping paper so I can use it for all occasions!
I also noticed people who afford expensive handbags are usually good with money.
I do the separate savings accounts too. Easy way not to spend your money on other things. And I agree pre-loved is an awesome way to go to save some money. My collection is also about 50% pre-loved.

+Chase Amie thank you it really did help, would you say marketing is a well paid job in general or does it depend on the company you work for?
Thank you, wonderful & very helpful!..... I def. will be using some of great tips to help me in the future to afford my first Louie V purchase.
Great advice. What pre loved sites would you recommend. I worry that you would be charged import fees etc.
+martina mccann Hi! I did a whole video and blog post on this topic, link here: chaseamie.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/how-and-where-to-buy-pre-loved-chanel.html Import fees depend where you live but I've included the country of origin for each site in my blog post :)
Hello Amie, can you please do a video on how to choose preloved bags? Recommendation on websites, etc. Thank you!
What a great video sweetie!! I loved it!! Could you please kindly share how you sell your handbags? Are there any consignment stores you could recommend? Thank you so much! xxxxx

Thank you very much for your tips, especially the one for naming the account saving for what we want. I’m definitely going to open a saving account and name it Chanel WOC :) It will keep me focused!
+NorCachapuz It really works! So glad you found it useful! :)
Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks! I loved this video and the one you did on where to buy pre-loved Chanel. I'm currently saving for my first Chanel...and the struggle is real lol...but like you said, its all about setting goals, budgeting and prioritizing! :P
+Nataly Tsui So glad you enjoyed and found it useful! Sounds like you have it right - goals are the key to getting anything done IMO! :)
I love all your tips here! Wish you have a blogpost about this so we can share it :)
I really love the ideal of renaming the savings account. I am going to try this going into the new year. THANKS!!!
+MsInternational280 So glad you found this helpful!
Really great video with the best suggestions I've seen so far on TH-cam:) Can you tell me what necklace you're wearing? I can't see it clearly, but it looks pretty!
+CapeCodBelle Thank you! This one was actually a gift so I'm afraid I have no idea where it's from! If I see anything similar about, I'll let you know though!
Good tips! Thanks. I have had an LV fund going for a while, just a part of my wallet where I keep adding bits of cash for that purpose. I have had enough in there now for about a month....but now I'm not sure I want to spend it! I've been back to the store at least 8 times looking at the bag....it's to the point where the sales people basically ignore me...😅 so...who cares?! When I'm ready....!
+WW Jackie haha absolutely! LV is a big buy so taking your time is totally your prerogative!
Great advice Amie!!!!! Useful tips. Keep it up!
+FrivolaAngie Thank you so much!
Hi Amie - thanks for your great videos I have found them really insightful (and hence subscribed!). Sorry if this has been asked numerous times already but could you recommend your favourite platforms/websites to sell luxury bags, particularly for brands such as Dior, Celine, Prada and LV? Thanks so much!
Well said! I love how everything is phrased. Great video over all :)
+Pang Yang Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great video!! Definitely given me some tips and some things to think about next time 'I need' to place a Topshop order 😂😂😂xxx
+JemJemR Haha Topshop and ASOS are always the danger zones for me... :) xx
Such a good video! I didn't even knew about that website for cash back! Really good tips! Thanks for sharing! Veronica
+Marc James So glad you enjoyed it! :)
I used to watch lipstick jungle. Loved that show. Thanks for all the tips..
+Amy Wong I know, I'm so sad it's gone!
Thanks for replying my comment. Love all your videos!!
All your tips are great and on point! I actually bought my first LV SLG and bag last year buy doing a saving plan on 2014. It did feel so good once I paid them with the cc to get the points but paid the cc off next month. This year I couldn't save for my second one but I am thinking on getting me a part time job next year just to save for another LV bag.
+Adriana Gauzza Wow that's super dedication! It's absolutely a great feeling when you work towards something for a long time and then you suddenly realise your goal!
Omg I already loved you but I see you liked lipstick jungle and that makes me love you more! That show was so good I wish it didn't get cancelled!
Thank you for sharing 😄👍 I'm going to try tips no.5 into my saving habit!

Makes a lot of sense and great video Amie! xoxo💋
+FashionablyAmy Thank you lovely!
Great video Amie! Thanks for doing this! I love using cash back websites. It really adds up. Also, I find that parting with some designer clothes that I no longer wear helps. Elena
+MissElena Yes, absolutely! I am long overdue a closet clean out!
omg, she is completely inspiring!!
Feel like watching this video again and again.. Thank you for sharing... Loved....
Great tips! I love watching you videos!

Great tips!!!! I am going to have a wardrobe clear out!!
+Erica L Haha right there with you! Long overdue :) xx
+Chase Amie I am going on a holiday for Chrismas from Terminal 3 Heathrow. Let me know if you need something from Chanel duty free, FYI the reason I chose to fly from T3.LOL
+Erica L Aw you are so sweet! Haha I'm totally the same... any way I can fly from terminal 3 I will! I'm actually flying out from T3 in Feb so saving my money for then - thank you SO much for the offer though, seriously so nice of you :) xx
You are absolutely true. I am considering a purchase of a Chanel bag. Thanks a lot.
Im soooooo glad I found your channel! Wish you'd upload more though but I know you must be super busy :)
I LOVE THIS! Thank you sooo much for making this!!!
I love your bedcover & pillows. Are those handpainted?
Thanks, your tips were really helpful and sensible. Great video.
+Andrea Turner Thank you! So glad you enjoyed :)
+Chase Amie Your marketing skills come through in the video. Great channel, thanks.
12 minutes straight FACTS! Absolutely helpful!
Hi dear. I really love this vid that you made. And of course I took notes of the quote. So make sense. Now I have a question that needing ur opinion. I need a small hand bag for my dinner/grab and go bag. I have a choice of small boy 3420€ or mini square 2290€ (Chanel) . As u can see there's quite big different in price . What is ur opinion on these? Thanks xx
+shopbop holic I would 100% go for the square mini! It's the perfect evening bag in my opinion! I love the boy and often reach for my old medium but I think the square mini just looks so chic for evening. Much better value for money as well IMO!
+Chase Amie aww... Thanks so much for ur genuine opinion . It make my decision so much easier xx
You simply said it, " you are a bag lover"! Good luck!
Nowadays, life is just so hard, we need to be practical,
I would rather save my money for the rainy days,
You are so lucky to have a lot of extra money....good on you!
In my own opinion, it is not practical.....
Hey Chase Amie! i just subscribed to your channel, I really love your energy and aura in your videos. you really are enjoyable to watch! go girl! haha i just opened up a savings account specifically for my channel jumbo double flap in black and now the saving begins! haha thanks for the wonderful videos x

Wonderful advice Amie!! You have a good head on your shoulders. :)
+Anupriya92 Aw thank you lovely! So glad you enjoyed it :) xx
I agreed with Anh Tu, think hard before returning item, someone else may want to buy new, but end up with used, returned product.
I never said anything about returning a used product (which I have never done nor will I ever do).
The most useful video I've seen in how to afford luxury items
+summ3rnightfashion yay! So glad you find it helpful!
Well Done Amie, very interesting and important tips. Lovely and smart
