Just a video idea: showing your oldest pieces (as in: date of purchase) and why they still fit your style. I love your thoughts on a list, shopping with intention and wearing what you have. It is interesting to see how you build your own collection around your personal style. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I just finished my 2025 wish list today: iPad, Bernard James Sunflower earrings, Books(limit of 30), Sisters birthday trip, my birthday trip to Italy, two spa days, monthly massages, Mary J concert, see two ballets, adult ballet classes, BJJ classes and Invisalign.
Well *suluxy* who wants to spend $20,000 on a bag when you could spend $500 for a dup / most no longer care about what class you’re in! Rich folks buy because they’re bored- and shopping is the thrill!
Yayyyy same. No buy year for me in the categories of: clothing new or thrifted, shoes, bags, belts, makeup, home decor. I can’t do nails at the salon , I’m allowed one hair cut. The money I save is for a December trip and hopefully I can start laser hair removal on my legs and bikini. I also got two kids so I’ll be spending on Diapers and kids essentials.
Hey Carolyn!! Love your channel. Praying for you and yours. I always learn so much from your channel and just love your spirit. Keep shining. +1 on the Coach Coin Purse and a solid stack of bangles! Thank you loving us down we love you right back!
becoming outdated as consumer demand has shifted from wanting to appear "wealthy" to wanting to show their "intelligence". 10 years ago if you bought a *hotdups* you were "cheap" and "fake", now you're "smart" and "cost-conscious" because customers have realised their's no need to pay 10x more for the same quality bag.
C! Love this video! Ohh I’m praying the jewelry collaboration into existence! And I totally agree with you about working hard and spending hard😂. This year I’m going to spend intentionally.😊❤❤❤. May this New Year come with many more blessings for you and your family, and of course healthy well being for you and Carlos ❤ Lots of Love
I hear you steppin your game up. I agree, buy those stand out pieces and buy new it. Makes you treasure and wear those pieces more. 🤣 Jerry Buss it down at Bergdorf had me rollin!
i love it! i am going to make a list of what i want and what i don't need. i just bought some $300.00 jeans and i haven't even got them in the mail yet and i feel like i am going to regret buying them. however, i have been stalking these AG jeans...lol they didn't have my size when they were on sale then i got a notification when they came back in stock and i bought them at full price. other people have bought the jeans said they run large, i got my normal size. i pray they fit the way i want them to because i cant justify this purchase if they don't...
I shopped more this year than ever before in my life but I shopped with INTENTION and have nothing on my list per say but having more fun and changing up my look with my hair that will put a new SPIN on what I already have in my closet. I am going to actually make a closet for my clothes and continue to look for a signature fragrance. I may have to put sunglasses on my no buy list, but I don't by designer and I truly loved the ones I have and were gifted so more days of wearing what I have right now into 2025. Shoes will be purchased because I have some gaps in my closet and I am also looking very very carefully at bags. My TODS (first time finally with this brand) makes be very happy so again... really looking closely at maybe going for a Fendi (shoe or a accessory from Burberry) We shall see. Enjoy yourself and yest to the list! Don't go shopping without it!
Love your wishlist and loving your ponytail. I’ve been to Mexico City twice and I love it. Feel free to ask any info about it-where to stay, eat and shop.
I’m on a no spend feb/march, there’s things i need - yea need😂 that are on sale rn. No buys next year probably will be jeans! My buy list - Givenchy shark boots, Alaïa heart mules, Tiffany bone cuff, YSL lunch box bag, and possibly a Bottega bang bang vanity. My annual Dubi trip, going home (Jamaica) for Christmas and doing my driving lessons/test😩
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the *xbagy* leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations
That Jacquemus bag looks like a winner! Great picks On my wishlist is the ability to be able to afford luxury pieces! I took a hit this year and gotta rebuild!
Love having a combo list ... great idea from last year ... I am creating a no buy and wishlist now... kinda in a tired of spending mood ... I focus all my money on home updates and renovations but love this video idea!
Happy New Year!! I love your authenticity!! Style and more! Very similar to mine! Keep being Amazing Queen! I have a few things on my 2025 list! That coach bag is soo on my list! When i was in NYC i put myself on the waiting list. But i did not to think to put myself on the waiting in SOHO! Maybe i will put myself on the waiting list here in ATL too 🤔 I also have the Gucci Canvas and Python bamboo purse on my list, the Prada shoes that look like zebra stripes, and the Jacqumues silver metallic bag and the Bottega mules in that color but now watching your video maybe i should get the dupes first of the shoe. 🤔 Bc i saw a very cute silver flat on the Prada runway that may be more useful. Anywho! Thank you for this! I obviously have to narrow my list so that I can filled satisfied this year ☺️❤
Yessss to 2025 wishlists!! Made my list last week my top items are the santos de Cartier watch and dries and Ysl long coats.. def don’t need not one Jean or bodysuit !
Hi Hun, if you don’t mind, please share where you purchased the lamp next to you and Carlos pic. lol Love it. Me need to my furniture for my newly renovated apartment once I move back in. Trying hard not to buy any clothes or shoes, have more than enough but you know us Virgis🙄😊
These are my favorite videos I watch them all!! Here's my list: Rebounder Phillip Lim Poplin Dress Karen Walker Indigo tinted sunnies Dsquare has some Mary Jane flats I think their called Gothic 😋
I’m almost done with my wishlist for the year, so far I have: Dries van noten Fleur du mal perfume Coach large coin purse Gold david yurman bracelet Vintage LV murakami bag ( haven’t settled on the style) Longchamp travel bag (domestic trips)
Me watching this Jan 2nd as this is my no buy month to set up good spending intentions for 2025. MAKING A LIST FOR 2025. Also, because Amazon and I need a vacation from my pocket book😂.
I enjoy your channel and how you boldly own your personal style. i've done two closet purges before the new year. i'm a vintage gal in terms of clothing and interiors. I also love modern art. not buying much but to quote VINTAGE Kanye "wait til i get my money right" But on my wish list are: -vintage LV Monogram Kalahari Limited Edition Bag -A couple of vintage Coogie Sweaters New! Christopher John Roger's x J Crew Gold Lame Barn Jacket with Matching pants. ( been sold out for a minute) some items from various south american designers. i lean more into south american and african designers. -Vintage African beaded chairs-2 -Vintage Womb chair with Ottoman Want to Travel to Morocco, Berlin, Portugal and London no buy: denim shirts, white button down shirts
Sissssss, I got the Schiaparelli sneakers!!!!!!! I'm scared of the bootie though!!!! They are fireeeee though!!!! Why do the shoes look like they got corns though?!? 🤣🤣🤣. For real... go look
I’m definitely not buying any clothing or shoes. The only things I am buying in 2025 is a Alma BB and some gold Jewelry. I am going to continue shopping in my closet lol ❤
Hey, Queen Cookie. For 2025, I am going to engage in this thing I heard and wrote about: “ shopping with intention!”😭😭😭😭😭 I only want statement pieces. I got another bag from Floor 4 at Bergdorf’s for my birthday. I need Nothing!!!!! I am going to Malawi in April and Florence in June. I'm writing a list and budget for 2025. ❤❤❤❤❤
My wishlist for 2025 is very short; all I want is the famous slash jeans from Maison Margiela in black. 😍 I’ve been very intentional lately and only buy clothes to fill the gap in my wardrobe. 😊 Been selling lots of (old) clothes as well. 🙌🏾 Have a healthy blessed and successful 2025, Carolyn aka HCIC and the whole Cookie Jar!🙌🏾💞🍪
My finances are getting back on track and I want to keep it that way so my list will be very short! I would love LV cerises monogram speedy vintage or the new release. LV Symphony fragrance and replace the LV large agenda that was stolen! 😩 I would like to do some traveling in 2025 but I need to really think about if it will be a European adventure or island adventure! Ghana is definitely on my list I just not sure if I could swing it in 2025. Upgrading my technology is a must so getting a new laptop and or computer as well as upgrade my iPhone is a must. Lastly 2025 will be the year of experiences for me! I would like to be outside trying new things! That’s it for now but since I’m a bag fanatic I know I’ll be adding a few bags in 2025. The COACH kiss lock is a must have! 👛😊
More trips for 2025. Moving out of state. Fashion: another LV Speedy;bangles but I want mixed metals as that’s my jam; more self care (ie. getting my nails and facials on a regular again); lastly, Prada loafers. 😩 I want them real bad. No buy: no more tshirts, unless they are essentials; rings, because I only got but so many fingers and they ain’t long (vertically challenged 😂5’0); lastly, coats, have four I haven’t even seen one yet 😂
2O24 was a no luxury sneakers and no Zara and I stuck to it. For 2O25 I’m looking to add the ALaia jeans with the barrel shape and with the side slit. Girl…they are so good. Also the red Gucci GG embossed blazer; it was very expensive but if I can find that puppy on sale at 5O% off…she will be mine. Plus a Sacai midi length skirt and of course a few handbags. An LV Petite Malle, a soft speedy, and an Hermes Jypsier 28m maybe a beat vintage Chanel but not a classic flap…not really my style.Thats is it for me and 2O25. Might have to update in June.
My no buy; printed tops and more bracelets. I want a new perfume scent and a long lasting neutral lipstick. New furniture and a refrigerator. What to do a family vacation with my grown children.
In my opinión, this bags that you mentioned are not more “cool” . But its just my opinión . Anyway i like your Style. You give us great ideas and information. I like your videos .
I know people personally who have so much genuine luxury brands yet they live in their mama house. I own my own home, drive a lexus and i do buy real mid luxury bags but anything over $1000 im getting a *hotdups* and keeping money in my pocket.
Hi I’m Suzilee a Jamaican who lives in Jamaica. I would love to welcome you and yours to my beautiful island. Hit me up when you decide to come. Love your channel
Well *suluxy* who wants to spend $20,000 on a bag when you could spend $500 for a dup / most no longer care about what class you’re in! Rich folks buy because they’re bored- and shopping is the thrill!
This wish list was good. When you do your collab for bracelets make sure you have enough for me to get you know the girls will be selling things out.🗯️
That coin purse I have been stalking, but i didn't think waiting list ....hmmmm...🫡. And i refuse to buy any damn thing except work out clothes. I'm breaking up with Percy.... finally girl!!!

Great list…things & experiences xo
The coach oversized coin purse. I want. “Chef kiss”❤
Your hair looks so pretty
The longest I’ve seen it since I’ve started watching your channel
I’ve been spending money like a drug dealer so I’m chilling. I’m on a real hardcore no buy 😭
Yayyyy same. No buy year for me in the categories of: clothing new or thrifted, shoes, bags, belts, makeup, home decor. I can’t do nails at the salon , I’m allowed one hair cut. The money I save is for a December trip and hopefully I can start laser hair removal on my legs and bikini. I also got two kids so I’ll be spending on Diapers and kids essentials.
