You should do a video where you “fix” some of these items! Take the strap and shoe to a cobbler, dye the dress, take the sunglasses to get widened. A little sustainability moment, because these pieces deserve ❤!
About the Bottega Veneta: It’s not bad customer service, it’s horrible customer service. So sad, because the sandals are gorgeous! Maybe find a local cobbler or someone who works with leather to make 2 new straps.
That's not bad custom service, or horrible - it's appalling! In fact, that attitude does not constitute any form of customer service - it's customer dis-service. Shame on the brand, I hope they go bankrupt and Allana, please think 10 times over before giving them any future coin.
I would definitely keep the CD bag. It has a timeless feel to it so even if you are not using it now, you may use it later, and even if you decide to sell it in 10-20 years, you'll make money on it.
Oh my goodness, what a TRAGEDY that poor staud dress has been through! Dying it darker is a brilliant idea. I love the idea of keeping it in your closet cause the fit and lewk is so good on you woman!
love this video (as always) but I especially love the refreshing honesty and calling yourself out :D 🖤 I would love a "cheap surprises" counterpart. for example the Amazon sunglasses you wear all the time. just as suggestions and inspo that it doesn't always have to be designer to look chic.
We should definitely be holding luxury brands more accountable for their customer service! When you spend the equivalent of rent on a pair of shoes, that even at a third of their retail price would be a monstrous markup for the company, you expect the whole customer service experience to be equal to your investment.
They are already getting away with scam level prices, so why would they suddenly care if you hit a road bump somehow? We are honestly so indoctrinated to just consume the latest thing they are betting you lose concentration and will soon be distracted by another trend and another shiny thing. So they are behaving consistently, if badly and we are behaving inconsistently by suddenly expecting customer service. All our fault!
Until you get a local cobbler to make you matching straps-you could buy white leather lacing and thread it through for a wrap-around tie look. Hobby Lobby or Amazon 😊
SO many bests and yet so much sadness for that Staud dress (though I LOVE your idea of dying it a dark, midnight blue)! And the Jaques Marie Walker sunglasses: please keep and get them widened; they look amazing on you!
Girl, wear your blue Hermes sandals!! Before you even said it I was like “oh that’s a cute pop of color for like jeans/shorts and a white tee, or a white/beige/cream summer dress.” If your wardrobe is mainly neutrals, then that should go with almost all of it. They’re a gorgeous color! Love the Hermes tote too.
Those blue sandals are beautiful but I totally understand the struggle. What I thought right away was black linen pants and a black top. And that Dior bag, I absolutely love, I totally agree that it’s the perfect classic (but not old looking) dress up/going out bag. Love all your loves!
16:50 you NEED to wear those sunglasses!! I have a huge head as well 😅 and my optometrist can always make glasses work for me. Definitely recommend getting them fitted for you. They’re too cute to hide away.
The Hermes Orans you should defo keep them, how about white jeans, white tank, blue oversized shirt, the Orans and the Dior bag ? I love that you mostly don’t have lots of bad purchases and MOST are well thought through pieces ❤
Hey Allana, I never never ever comment on videos but I truly find myself enjoying your videos so so much! You are a reference for me in terms of content creation for TH-cam! Congrats for your amazing work and a big kiss from Portugal 🇵🇹
Thank black dress is absolutely stunning and I LOVE how you styled it both times! I remember the sweat stain debacle and you talking about it on IG stories last year. LOL, it's happened to us all in some form.
Okay, you can never give Bottega Venetta any of your money ever again. That is such unacceptable customer service for an expensive item. Do try to get a strap (or two, to make sure they match) made somewhere else though, so the shoes actually get some wear. Definitely try to dye the linen dress. Since it's ruined anyway you've got nothing to lose. Check the fabric composition - since they say the body of the dress is 100% linen it should dye with normal fabric dye. I wouldn't use the kind you throw in the washing machine since the dress is dry clean only (although we know how that turned out 😫); do it by hand in the sink. Please make a video of the process! It'll be a fun experiment and the revenue from the video can help recover the cost of the dress 😅
A great friend of mine dyed her wedding dress (Vera Wang) and has worn it again and again for formal events. So definitely room for redemption for the Staud dress - the cut and fit were so nice!
Camel is a great color on you, BTW, and your makeup compliments it perfectly. Since you asked, not a fan of logos - I’d vote to ditch the Dior logo bag. You have GOT to get those Jacques Marie sunglasses stretched because they are SO GOOD!
Wear the suiting as separates. The blazer with some jeans the pants with a funky top. You're looking it as a suit, my advice is don't! You could also rock it as a suit for weddings instead of a dress, lean into tux vibes, give Dejan a run for his money. Dye the dress for sure, turn her into the best memory, OR sell it to someone who would love it. I never keep things in my closet tied to bad experience, who wants to look in their closet and feel badly? Love your fashUn content Lan! Sending you love from Smokey Alberta.!
Wow, such a beautiful bag collection. Your choices for the bags you love are not the usual - Celine Romy instead of the box bag, CD club bag, instead of the saddle, etc.
The black Staud daffodil dress is so stunning. I hope you can dye the other one! Also both those sunglasses are indeed beautiful, you should def get them resized 😍
I think the grey suit paired with a while bralette, your white jimmy choo’s and and a diamond tennis necklace would look amazing for a night out. Also, the blazer draping over your shoulders paired with a silky slip dress.
Girl!! I have been loving Everyday May ❤️ I love all of your videos and thank you to Dejan and yourself for your hardwork and amazing content! You're so stunning and classy and I love learning tips from you! I would love it if you could share your health plan/workout regimen! You seem to eat so well and take care of yourself physically, it would be lovely to learn about your health journey! 😊
Allana thanks for your honest opinions! You should definitely dye your dry cleaner ruined dress. It’s also total BS that Bottega can’t get you another strap for your shoe!!
Fun video! this is what I would like you to try: for a day (or just a few hours) when you are at home and not going anywhere or filming or anything that you necessarily need to be dressed up for, I want you to wear the blue shoes and the grey blazer suit and the last pair of sunglasses (put them on a gold necklace chain or something and use to accessorize like jewelry rather than killing your head) and just go about your day in that outfit and notice not how you look (don't even look in the mirror at first!), but rather how you FEEL in the pieces. Do you feel powerful? Fashionable? Confident? Strong? Or do you feel uncomfortable, silly, awkward, etc.? See what this little experiment does foe you. :)
Hi!! I ❤ your content and have been a loyal followers for YEARS!! Just stopping by the comments to suggest a beautiful thin silky ribbon to make those BV white sandals wearable!! And you're not wrong-that customer service team should be really embarrassed about this.
For those Bottega Venetta sandals, with the missing strap, instead of getting a matching strap made, I think you should just get soft leather laces/strips that can be tied in a contrasting color like tan, orange or black. It’s an easier fix that can make the shoes even better in the end.
What about trying some ribbon bow straps on the White Bottega sandals? What about pairing the canvas Dior bag with the grey Magda blazer? What about pairing some trousers you do like with the grey blazer? It is such a nice blazer. I am thinking two pieces under it like a white shirt and dark sweater, or a corset top.
I think dyeing the dress is a great idea, maybe a nice mid-tone brown or even chocolate brown? The cut is so pretty and looks so great on you. The strap odyssey is beyond belief, what terrible service. Maybe a local shoe repair shop can make 2 new straps for you? Crazy thought, does Amazon sell sandal straps?? lol they seem to sell everything else. Loved this video update.
Pair the suit with a bright color top. Always have it be bright. And, try it out with a satin crop top, a ruffle blouse, a satin cami top, or turtle neck. each of those should add either a nice silhouette or a feminine bright touch.
I'm glad for the inclusion of the East-West Celine bag. I have a similar bag that's slouchy and was going to get an organiser insert. But it will change the line of the thing and it will no longer be slouchy. Some things are best left alone.
11:49 I really hope you can find a leather specialist and get them to make you another one! My dad used to work in a “leather factory” and he made belts and moccasins, etc. and I’m sure he could have made one.
DO keep the baby CD bag. The more unique size and print makes it absolutely timeless and you know it’s only gonna become more special the longer you have it. I think this summer with a white look or a linen look, it could be SO chic for a little brunch.
Allana, you are after my heart…handbag are my weakness. I approve of your Dior Club bag, that texture on the bag 😘 The East-West bag has such a royal look to it…keep it. For the white Bottega Veneta sandal, I thought of a leather cord-type strap that laces up.
Allana, have the dress dyed! The blue sandals will look beautiful with the suit you are trying to learn how to style along with a white tank top and use a handkerchief with blue and use it as a belt. I love your choices! ✌🏽
I'm no stylist🙈 but I think if you wear that grey two-piece with a white shirt and white sneakers, your hair down - it would look super cute!☺ Still comfy/casual, but also chic and cute👌
Oh my goodness I’ve been in love with that first Celine bag since I first saw it on your channel! It’s absolutely stunning and so classy. I also LOVE your new bag too. Just perfect classy lady have it forever and gift it to my daughter bag. Love! Remember that black and white Portrait dress you had in Calgary? I swear, I just saw it at a luxury consignment shop here in South Surrey and I totally freaked out! So beautiful. I was so sad when you let that one go. Dying to know which outfits you kept for the bachelorette this week! Ahhhh! So exciting. The lack of care from BV about your shoe is upsetting. They are so bougie they don’t try. If this were a handmade local shoemaker they would absolutely help and put so much love and pride into their work. Luxury brands don’t care about their customers, they care that their customers wear they stuff and advertise for them. We are the commodity!
Allana!! You did a video where you used an elastic band around your waist to turn a regular sweater into a cropped one. Did it work?? What brand was it/where was it from? I am searching for this solution…turning to the one who knows the things. Hope you see this. Thanks!
1st. The editing! Dejan the man needs a call out! Whomp whomp whomp sound effect made me laugh! The Celine bag- yes please!! Agree on the Bottega bag..sell the Dior and get a black version of the Celine 😉
You can change the fit of the sunglasses yourself by heating the ends with a hairdryer and VERY carefully bending them how you like. A tiny bit at a time and repeat until they feel good. I’ve done it to some prescription glasses that were too tight and it worked great. You have to be very careful and patient though, so you don’t bend too much and snap them! On second thought, maybe just take them to a professional! 😂
I wonder if you could just loosen the screws on the sunglasses? I feel like there is an easy solution! Because those Jaques Marie Mage are absolutely stunning!! You definitely need to wear those more often!
I'm sad at Bottega for not helping with the strap...v bad service imo. Anyway, can you wear them with out an ankle strap? If so, maybe have the back piece removed? If not, don't your new Jennifer Chamandi flats have removable ankle straps? Could you use those? Love your fav pics, but also with a little effort you could have almost twice as many. Make a pile for the next style session with Allision and ask for help! She did you good last time! xo
Can you turn the bottega veneta sandals into slip-ons ? Like if you'd cut the strap holder or get a shoemaker to cut it maybe it will turn into something
Hey Allana, love you❤ try Zara barely there strappy sandals, I have a pair and the straps fully come out! So I wonder if you find a white pair you wouldn’t even notice?!x
Fellow large-headed girl here. I wear men’s glasses designs. The frames are just that bit bigger. (I also wear men’s hats/beanies/caps almost exclusively.)
I don’t know if you’ve considered this or it would be passable but it reminds me of the double tour bracelet from Hermès maybe try that for the BV sandals?
I also wish you’d find a way to wear the Magda suit because I have that combo with the pink top in my “Power suit” inspo collection! Looked so great on you 🤍💕
This is a long shot but could you do “packing for an Italian vacation in September” LOL I live in Georgia, US. I have no clue what to pack or wear and I am soo nervous I’ll get there and hate everything I packed. Welcoming comments from others PLEASE! I plan on checking my actual carry on hard shell and using a Calpak backpack as my personal item.
Great video, Allana! Those two pairs of sunglasses are both SO good on you! I believe you can take them to any store that sells eyeglasses and they can be adjusted to fit you better. I have the opposite problem, with a small head, and I always need to get my eyeglasses adjusted to fit me so they don’t fall off. 😂
I’ve been on the hunt for an evening bag for ages, and I finally bought a Zadig & Voltaire Rock bag last week. It wasn’t too expensive, roughly 300 euros, but it’s still a sizeable chunk of change for my budget. It’s a good thing I bought it when I did, because 2 days later I saw your Dior club bag and fell in love. It’s EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for, and I would love it forever, but I really shouldn’t spend that kind of money on a bag! If I hadn’t already bought the ZV bag at literally 1/10th of the price, I probably would have talked myself into buying the Dior! 😂
I love those glasses I would (Jacques Marie)they are really gorgeous. I just nought the Celine triumphe 01. All of a sudden I’m obsessed with Celine because I did not need them. I love them…. Just so much $ to have filled with my eyesight. I guess it needed to happen pains coming up… I’m channeling Hedi Slimane vibes bad.
Do you think you’d get more use out of something similar to the Bobbi but in something like the Gucci monogram that’s more neutral? I tracked down a navy vintage coach bag that I was convinced was going to be the best bag ever, but I’ve only worn it a couple times and I think it’s the navy that’s putting me off.
I love your sunglasses..lol..my face is again too narrow and then it slips off..I would style those blue shoes with your white jeans..I love the colour😂
It would be super cute and probably a bit funny if you did a “fiancé picks my outfits” or his favorite clothing of yours. Just to see how he gets women’s style.
Bottega Sandals: ok, idea! Purchase a pair of (cheaper) white strappy sandals with a removable ankle strap and use these new straps on your precious Bottegas!
I’d bad mouth botegga constantly over them sandals that’s shocking they are knackers I’ll never buy from them I hope u find someone to make the strap for you those sandals are gorgeous
If you google “replacement ankle straps for heels” I’ve seen a lot. I don’t know if they will match your shoes exactly but you could even use different colors for different events. Like gold, black, silver, etc. Hope you find something that helps. And when looking at an item and trying to decide if you want to keep I always ask myself “is it a hell yeah? and if not, it should be a hell no” because you should love everything you keep ♥️. Definitely dye the dress! #everydaymay
Yes, please dye the Staud dress. It looks amazing on you. As far as thr Dior bag goes, please keep it, unless you want to gift it to me jk. It is a classic. Having two Dior bags is never a bad thing.
I lost a strap for a shoe too!! But it was just your everyday nude heel so I bought another pair used off poshmark that had a similar strap and swapped them. You can’t even tell the difference
You should do a video where you “fix” some of these items! Take the strap and shoe to a cobbler, dye the dress, take the sunglasses to get widened. A little sustainability moment, because these pieces deserve ❤!
Totally! I was going to make a similar comment. All these items are certainly fixable
Yes 🙌
@Aisha Nobis Why are you peddling this supposedly 'true story' in so many channels?
yessss
About the Bottega Veneta: It’s not bad customer service, it’s horrible customer service. So sad, because the sandals are gorgeous! Maybe find a local cobbler or someone who works with leather to make 2 new straps.
For real. I’m bad and I’d never buy from them again just for that reason. 💀
Shoe maker-shoe repair shop should do 2 new straps for sure!
That's not bad custom service, or horrible - it's appalling! In fact, that attitude does not constitute any form of customer service - it's customer dis-service. Shame on the brand, I hope they go bankrupt and Allana, please think 10 times over before giving them any future coin.
makes me not want to buy anything Bottega!!!
You can use 2 bracelets which are looking the same ❤
Dyeing the staud dress a darker color would make it so that no sweat shows. I think it’s a great idea!
I would definitely keep the CD bag. It has a timeless feel to it so even if you are not using it now, you may use it later, and even if you decide to sell it in 10-20 years, you'll make money on it.
Oh my goodness, what a TRAGEDY that poor staud dress has been through! Dying it darker is a brilliant idea. I love the idea of keeping it in your closet cause the fit and lewk is so good on you woman!
Would love to see it dyed a darker color as the fit is great!
I loved the original color but I’m thinking the dry cleaning mishap is the universe saying dye it black! No sweat stain problem again either!
For your Bottega sandals, the gold chain idea sounds lovely. You can also get matching white silk scarves and spice up the shoe too!
That dress deserves a second life, dyed! The fit it's absolutely beautiful on you!
love this video (as always) but I especially love the refreshing honesty and calling yourself out :D 🖤 I would love a "cheap surprises" counterpart. for example the Amazon sunglasses you wear all the time. just as suggestions and inspo that it doesn't always have to be designer to look chic.
We should definitely be holding luxury brands more accountable for their customer service! When you spend the equivalent of rent on a pair of shoes, that even at a third of their retail price would be a monstrous markup for the company, you expect the whole customer service experience to be equal to your investment.
They are already getting away with scam level prices, so why would they suddenly care if you hit a road bump somehow? We are honestly so indoctrinated to just consume the latest thing they are betting you lose concentration and will soon be distracted by another trend and another shiny thing. So they are behaving consistently, if badly and we are behaving inconsistently by suddenly expecting customer service. All our fault!
Until you get a local cobbler to make you matching straps-you could buy white leather lacing and thread it through for a wrap-around tie look. Hobby Lobby or Amazon 😊
THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! 🎉🎉
SO many bests and yet so much sadness for that Staud dress (though I LOVE your idea of dying it a dark, midnight blue)! And the Jaques Marie Walker sunglasses: please keep and get them widened; they look amazing on you!
Your story about the staud dress is why I love watching your content, always keeping it real. Thank you for Everyday May!
Girl, wear your blue Hermes sandals!! Before you even said it I was like “oh that’s a cute pop of color for like jeans/shorts and a white tee, or a white/beige/cream summer dress.” If your wardrobe is mainly neutrals, then that should go with almost all of it. They’re a gorgeous color!

Those blue sandals are beautiful but I totally understand the struggle. What I thought right away was black linen pants and a black top. And that Dior bag, I absolutely love, I totally agree that it’s the perfect classic (but not old looking) dress up/going out bag. Love all your loves!
16:50 you NEED to wear those sunglasses!! I have a huge head as well 😅 and my optometrist can always make glasses work for me. Definitely recommend getting them fitted for you. They’re too cute to hide away.
I love that Magda Butrym is getting so much international love. Always appreciates someone from your country being so successful:)
The Hermes Orans you should defo keep them, how about white jeans, white tank, blue oversized shirt, the Orans and the Dior bag ?
I love that you mostly don’t have lots of bad purchases and MOST are well thought through pieces ❤
I honestly love your bag style - they're not bags I'd gravitate to but dang you make them look sooo cool! The slouchy bags especially!
I also suspect the botega bag is a bit difficult to get in and out of based on where the zip is
Hey Allana, I never never ever comment on videos but I truly find myself enjoying your videos so so much! You are a reference for me in terms of content creation for TH-cam! Congrats for your amazing work and a big kiss from Portugal 🇵🇹
Thank black dress is absolutely stunning and I LOVE how you styled it both times! I remember the sweat stain debacle and you talking about it on IG stories last year. LOL, it's happened to us all in some form.

Definitely try to dye the linen dress. Since it's ruined anyway you've got nothing to lose. Check the fabric composition - since they say the body of the dress is 100% linen it should dye with normal fabric dye. I wouldn't use the kind you throw in the washing machine since the dress is dry clean only (although we know how that turned out 😫); do it by hand in the sink.
Please make a video of the process! It'll be a fun experiment and the revenue from the video can help recover the cost of the dress 😅
A great friend of mine dyed her wedding dress (Vera Wang) and has worn it again and again for formal events. So definitely room for redemption for the Staud dress - the cut and fit were so nice!
You should DEFINITELY keep the Dior Bag. So timeless and increases in value so even if you don’t wear it it’s a true investment
The blue sandals might be fun for your bachelorette as a something blue
Ohhhh my word yes how did I not think of this 😂😂 PACKING! THANK UU 🎉
Camel is a great color on you, BTW, and your makeup compliments it perfectly. Since you asked, not a fan of logos - I’d vote to ditch the Dior logo bag. You have GOT to get those Jacques Marie sunglasses stretched because they are SO GOOD!

Wow, such a beautiful bag collection. Your choices for the bags you love are not the usual - Celine Romy instead of the box bag, CD club bag, instead of the saddle, etc.
The Dior bag is definitely a keeper.. it’s beautiful, hang her in the closet and show her some love.❤
I’m just having my coffee and of course my girl has the perfect uploading timing 😍 loved this!! Don’t want May to end haha
Cheers to coffee with Allana ☕️
Good morning 🥹🥹🥹☀️☀️☀️
9:37 was just about to say you could totally rit dye that dress if you like the fit!
The black Staud daffodil dress is so stunning. I hope you can dye the other one! Also both those sunglasses are indeed beautiful, you should def get them resized 😍
Also the blue sandals would be perfect with white for all your wedding outfits!! Your something blue!
I think the grey suit paired with a while bralette, your white jimmy choo’s and and a diamond tennis necklace would look amazing for a night out. Also, the blazer draping over your shoulders paired with a silky slip dress.
Girl!! I have been loving Everyday May ❤️ I love all of your videos and thank you to Dejan and yourself for your hardwork and amazing content! You're so stunning and classy and I love learning tips from you!

Allana thanks for your honest opinions! You should definitely dye your dry cleaner ruined dress. It’s also total BS that Bottega can’t get you another strap for your shoe!!
I love the editing of your videos. It's clean and subtle but the camera zooms and such always give me a chuckle

I’m not sure who you are. But I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED and was entertained by this video. ❤
Definitely dye the Staud dress to black / navy, that would be so nice!!!
Don't do it yourself though, that will create more mess and potentially more trouble. Take it to a professional re-dye service.
11:49 I really hope you can find a leather specialist and get them to make you another one! My dad used to work in a “leather factory” and he made belts and moccasins, etc. and I’m sure he could have made one.

Goooood Monday Morning from Germany. Lan your’re glowing 🌟 ❤ Great Video - again 👊🏻
I recommend LeSpecs for sunglasses!! They have a million designs and are so affordable and of excellent quality.
Allana, you are after my heart…handbag are my weakness. I approve of your Dior Club bag, that texture on the bag 😘 The East-West bag has such a royal look to it…keep it. For the white Bottega Veneta sandal, I thought of a leather cord-type strap that laces up.
omg 3:34 this bag 😍😍😍 i find it so classic and timeless!
You should so totally dye the linen dress black.. that would be such a killer dress for the fall in black.. ❤
The blue Hermes sandals look gorgeous next to your tan sweater vest!
Allana, have the dress dyed! The blue sandals will look beautiful with the suit you are trying to learn how to style along with a white tank top and use a handkerchief with blue and use it as a belt. I love your choices! ✌🏽
I'm no stylist🙈 but I think if you wear that grey two-piece with a white shirt and white sneakers, your hair down - it would look super cute!☺ Still comfy/casual, but also chic and cute👌
Loved this video! Always a favorite! Honestly I’d be salty with bottega too for the strap 😂
To everyone watching, have a beautiful day 💛
Oh my goodness I’ve been in love with that first Celine bag since I first saw it on your channel! It’s absolutely stunning and so classy. I also LOVE your new bag too. Just perfect classy lady have it forever and gift it to my daughter bag. Love! Remember that black and white Portrait dress you had in Calgary?

If you want custom straps for the shoes, an old school cobbler could do it. They can basically rebuild a whole shoe, so straps would be really easy.
1st. The editing! Dejan the man needs a call out! Whomp whomp whomp sound effect made me laugh!
The Celine bag- yes please!! Agree on the Bottega bag..sell the Dior and get a black version of the Celine 😉
You can change the fit of the sunglasses yourself by heating the ends with a hairdryer and VERY carefully bending them how you like. A tiny bit at a time and repeat until they feel good. I’ve done it to some prescription glasses that were too tight and it worked great. You have to be very careful and patient though, so you don’t bend too much and snap them!

Can you turn the bottega veneta sandals into slip-ons ? Like if you'd cut the strap holder or get a shoemaker to cut it maybe it will turn into something
Love the Dior bag. Oh!! If u can get that Staud dress colored in black u can use your Dior bag to go with it beautifully 💕.
Hey Allana, love you❤ try Zara barely there strappy sandals, I have a pair and the straps fully come out! So I wonder if you find a white pair you wouldn’t even notice?!x
Fellow large-headed girl here. I wear men’s glasses designs. The frames are just that bit bigger.
(I also wear men’s hats/beanies/caps almost exclusively.)
I don’t know if you’ve considered this or it would be passable but it reminds me of the double tour bracelet from Hermès maybe try that for the BV sandals?
I had the same issue with my drycleaner 😡 ughhh I can’t get over it.
I also wish you’d find a way to wear the Magda suit because I have that combo with the pink top in my “Power suit” inspo collection! Looked so great on you 🤍💕
This is a long shot but could you do “packing for an Italian vacation in September” LOL I live in Georgia, US. I have no clue what to pack or wear and I am soo nervous I’ll get there and hate everything I packed.
Welcoming comments from others PLEASE! I plan on checking my actual carry on hard shell and using a Calpak backpack as my personal item.
Great video, Allana! Those two pairs of sunglasses are both SO good on you! I believe you can take them to any store that sells eyeglasses and they can be adjusted to fit you better. I have the opposite problem, with a small head, and I always need to get my eyeglasses adjusted to fit me so they don’t fall off. 😂
Allana, could you share how tall you are for reference on these longer dresses?😊
U can paint that ruined dress black. They have this service in dry cleaning 👌🏻done this to my jeans that was ruined in dry cleaning service
I’ve been on the hunt for an evening bag for ages, and I finally bought a Zadig & Voltaire Rock bag last week. It wasn’t too expensive, roughly 300 euros, but it’s still a sizeable chunk of change for my budget. It’s a good thing I bought it when I did, because 2 days later I saw your Dior club bag and fell in love. It’s EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for, and I would love it forever, but I really shouldn’t spend that kind of money on a bag! If I hadn’t already bought the ZV bag at literally 1/10th of the price, I probably would have talked myself into buying the Dior! 😂
I love those glasses I would (Jacques Marie)they are really gorgeous. I just nought the Celine triumphe 01. All of a sudden I’m obsessed with Celine because I did not need them. I love them…. Just so much $ to have filled with my eyesight. I guess it needed to happen pains coming up… I’m channeling Hedi Slimane vibes bad.
Do you think you’d get more use out of something similar to the Bobbi but in something like the Gucci monogram that’s more neutral? I tracked down a navy vintage coach bag that I was convinced was going to be the best bag ever, but I’ve only worn it a couple times and I think it’s the navy that’s putting me off.
Listening to you hype up the jimmy Choo pumps makes me wanna buy them for my wedding day! ❤😂
I love your sunglasses..lol..my face is again too narrow and then it slips off..I would style those blue shoes with your white jeans..I love the colour😂
It would be super cute and probably a bit funny if you did a “fiancé picks my outfits” or his favorite clothing of yours. Just to see how he gets women’s style.
Go buy a pair of white strappy Steve Madden/ Nine West sandals and use the strap. You will have any extra strap for wear and tear.
Great video. I love your luxury video content. I have a few Bottega Regrets also but some of my favorite bags are from Bottega
This is the sing to how you can make this linnen dress work. Just dye it black. Just simple dye it and black hides sweat. Just dye it girl.
Bottega Sandals: ok, idea! Purchase a pair of (cheaper) white strappy sandals with a removable ankle strap and use these new straps on your precious Bottegas!
Hello! What size is the everlane top you’re wearing in the video
I’d bad mouth botegga constantly over them sandals that’s shocking they are knackers I’ll never buy from them I hope u find someone to make the strap for you those sandals are gorgeous
If you google “replacement ankle straps for heels” I’ve seen a lot. I don’t know if they will match your shoes exactly but you could even use different colors for different events. Like gold, black, silver, etc. Hope you find something that helps. And when looking at an item and trying to decide if you want to keep I always ask myself “is it a hell yeah? and if not, it should be a hell no” because you should love everything you keep ♥️. Definitely dye the dress! #everydaymay
Bottega sandals: a ribbon of any colours could be worth a try!
Absolutely dye that dress black! It would be so easy!
I would totally dye the Staud dress! Worth a shot.
What lip combo are you wearing in this video ? It’s so beautiful
Your affinity for white outfits makes those blue Hermes Orans perfect for you! I just love the look of Orans; such a great design on the foot. 🩵🩵🩵
Those bottega sunglasses are so cute.
Yes, please dye the Staud dress. It looks amazing on you. As far as thr Dior bag goes, please keep it, unless you want to gift it to me jk. It is a classic. Having two Dior bags is never a bad thing.
Definitely try and dye the dress darker! Seems like a fabric that you could dye it
I lost a strap for a shoe too!! But it was just your everyday nude heel so I bought another pair used off poshmark that had a similar strap and swapped them. You can’t even tell the difference
Great luxury items, I enjoyed. What a tragedy with the Botega heels, I like the idea of a gold chain.
re: the bottega strap- maybe get 2 cute leather cat collars. you could do white or something else to funkify them 😉😸
