The camel image represent you manifestation of the perfect camel colored coat. It was a real hunt and a test of your ability to attract what you want. You not only found the perfect camel colored wool coat, you got it at a fantastic price. It was long ago and it became a type of meme for the channel about manifestation. You've manifested many more incredible things since then and it showed us it is POSSIBLE!
@@ShieldsSamantha Yes, this channel is a perfect example of over-consumption. There's no creativity, and tips and trend-analyses are copies from other creators (the phenomenon is not only on this channel but in social media in general). I wish Karen would use her amazing charisma in other format of videos, and not only the ones promoting consumerism and producst. Because you're truly a joy to listen to and follow.
Karen is one of the really authentic personalities here. All of her creativity is original. Love her. And please, be excited. It shows you‘re human. There‘s no reason to feel ashamed for being passionate about something. Some people just want to be jealous and judgemental. But I know the anxious perfectionist in us makes us listen to the critics 10x harder. That La Mer cream sounds heavenly btw. Would love to win that box
I used to watch many fashion/ luxury influencers a while ago but felt bored of most of them bc they mostly have ads as videos now even if they got good personalities! I like Karen's passion for good items regardless of brand. I feel her genuine personality and love her style. Wouldnt really mind if she talked about the stuff she gets bc it feels authentic to her!🌸🫶🏽
The camel originates from when you were looking for a camel coat for ages and you used this image, when you talked about trying to find one. It went on for ages. It was fun. You eventually found one at a charity shop.
She always shows the picture of a camel when she mentions a camel coat she was looking for, and she finally found one in a vintage shop and it happen to be a men’s coat. I now always shop in the men’s department, you never know what you’ll find 😍
I don't have TikTok because I don't need another social media app, especially one that will keep me even more hooked on my phone. I'm cool with Reddit, IG, and TH-cam. I keep Facebook for groups and Marketplace. As far as a break, I have burnout already, even after a long holiday break. I'm a content creator (for B2B). I've found it difficult to be creative. This year I want to do more crafting, sketching, and drawing. My sis- and brother-in-law got me coloring books for Christmas lol. I'm physically writing out my ideas rather than using digital formats.
I bought that TJ chai yesterday after watching this and I’m having some right now and it’s SO GOOD! ❤ Thank you for telling us! I can’t wait to try a little mixed into my black coffee.
OGs remember the great thrifted camel coat hunt videos! Those were Epic! As for the Susannah’s and the Ceinture boots, I have both! I got the Balenciagas in grey leather off Vestiare and I love them! Those two would always survive the purge and the number one item of mine that I’ll always have is a pair of oil rubbed brown suede Georgia Boot lug sole lace up Boots I bought when I was 17 years old. I just turned 45 and wore them a couple weeks ago. We’ve been together longer that a married couple 😂
That Saint Laurent COAT 🤎🔥🤎🔥🤎🔥🤎🔥🫶🏾😍Spectacular!!! Funniest thing is that I just realised that I must’ve bought a Balenciaga dupe because I have a very similar boot that I bought from Aldo back-in-the-day that I’ll never purge too 😅😂😂
Always love when you pop in the 🐪 on your vids! And even catch your smile after you say camel, knowing it's coming when you post 😂. Love to you and Michael, as always you are a joy.
As an OG subscriber, the camel image represents your long search for the perfect camel (colored) coat. Which you found at some point and there were upgrades down the line. Probably you'll keep improving on it, I am guessing :D Like your current hairdo, BTW. I appreciate you always shaking things up and not afraid to experiment with fashion, accessories, hair and nails.
People are always saying certain styles of shoes are out but if you’re buying quality shoes they really don’t go out of style, one just has to get creative! I love your black cowboy boots and whenever you wear them I am so tickled to see them as they are perfect for that outfit!
@ I think many people purchase for the trend of the year and then don’t know how to style them 2 years later…. I think your channel shows us all how to mix vintage and new together ( which has been my style since high school!). It’s one of the reasons I’m still watching.
I have always checked the label. But then that was my industry and education. My philosophy these days is a firm belief in Murphy's Law. Glad you had that fabulous meal. Michael must have loved it.
Wow! That bill for the wrong bottle of wine! From now on, I will double check the label compared to what I ordered. Hey, I just started using La Mer. Really beautiful texture with basically no scent. Hope it works. I don't have Instagram, but I sure would love that gift box. BTW....love, love, love your style. Have been watching your content for years. Happy New Year!!
Oooo! I can’t wait to see the light green suit photo from the shoot - with the hair which I LOVE! It’s kind of Rick Owen’s esque. Very cool! I love the baggy jeans and the brown print blouse. Can you share where both are from? You just keep getting more gorgeous! Your home and new chair make me swoon. 💗
Thank goodness, the bill was resolved. I do have to mention that in my career in patient safety that could’ve been detrimental. Imagine not checking the label when taking prescribed medication and for some reason, the wrong medication was given to you! I will use this story when I talk about a patient safety in my teachings.🙏🇨🇦
The exactly same thing happened to my friend!!! She ordered a $75 bottle when the bill came they said that she ordered a $500 bottle and she had to pay for it. Could it be some type of “upselling “ trick ? Could it be known by management? Who knows? I would be very careful from now on.
yes this is NOT right. I got a call from the manager the next day or so who apologized saying it was their mistake and something like this has only happened maybe twice in his 17 years working there but hey it happens. I genuinely thing they made a mistake but from a couple of comments here it seems that everyone has to REALLY CHECK or else the incident with your friend will happen? thats so bad!
I've been spolit by the break, now I want another one. I did enjoy it so won't complain. I love the plaits. Just gorgeous. I love changing up my hair also, justbwush my natural hair was as beautiful as yours ❤
I love seeing that camel coat on you, Karen. I remember you manifesting that coat. I remember you showing that camel, and that was the color you wanted. 🥰
I had the Balenciaga Nicholas Ghesquire dupes back in 2011 lol. I couldn’t afford the real deal then. But I loved those shoes! I even styled them in a vlogger photoshoot back then. They definitely are an iconic shoe of that era and definitely a “if you know, you know” shoe.
I have the same GU cargos in white and black. I got the white ones because they looked so good on you...but I still haven't worn them!! Then I thrifted the same pair, but in black...and I haven't worn those either. Since it's snowy I should break them out and wear them to school, since my current snow pant situation is pajama pants under nylon joggers, lol.
To answer your question, I don’t feel like I have had a great break. I’m currently at my desk, working with the flu (I’m working from home) because well, I’m always scared of being seen as not needed. When the reality is, I can’t keep these people from getting rid of me lol but I push on…
I luv you, I luv your classic, funkadelic artistic way with all things fashion. Years ago your squeals of excitedment over clothes, shoes coats etc, drew me in. Karen you are the vlogger, blogger, guru of clothes PERIOD. 😂🎉
Hi Karen, I forgot the behind the store the camera but I always watch your TH-cam video love that the Trent coat i’ve been trying to find me one, but I’m going to consignment store and find me one.❤❤❤
Karen, I am an OG viewer. My house burned down on Tuesday. I am binge watching you. It makes me feel better. I love the light with gold interior and black over the island in your kitchen. I love your renovations.
Karen! What's that beige chair you're sitting in when you showed your lipstick the men's St. Laurent coat?😃 I'm looking for a chair like that, or a Tired Man's chair.
Karen, I love the black on black outfit in the photo shoot. We got snow here in GA today, but Jersey will always be home. I love the plaits! I love the purple coat - my favorite color.
I'm a subscriber for a while now, so the camel isn't new to me. But he hasn't popped up for a while, and when he appeared so many times on this video, it was hilarious 😂
Great vlog love the haul totally the leather coat is divine and the black boots is wow 💯💯💯😍😍😍🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿so glad you was able to sort the bill for sure 😅
Camel is related to your lengthy search ! 😂 would love to try the le mer products 😮 love your hair this way Karen ! The leather trench is incredible on you ! ❤
I really like when your braids are braided straight back, I was wondering why it look so different this time not realizing it’s individuals coming down the side
Your hair looks fabulous. I love it. I also really love that fantastic long brown leather coat. I love a trench anyway but a leather one is perfect. Happy New Year to you and Michael. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤years ago I worked at 4star restaurant..288 bottles wine on wine list..my server friend had dyslexia..often rang bottle #43 as 34..sometimes price difference of $100..guest never questioned😂crazy
The image of the camel was the image that popped up when you were looking for a camel coat. I believe you found the perfect vintage camel coat for a phenomenal price.
My dad is into wine and was a college professor and he taught me to always check the label so they don’t sneak in a pricier wine. His younger wife took over the duties when his eyes began to fail. I’ve NOT been as good as them but now I know I need to be (my dad told me that when he once was splurging on a new fancy restaurant that it had been tried on him which is another reason he loved the smaller owner/chef/maitre d ones)
wow see I didn't know this but glad you said. I doubt that restaurant did it but still its always good to actually READ the label and not just blindly trust whats poured
@ when I was in college and waitressing at a fancy restaurant we were required to let the customer know they’d ordered a very pricey wine and repeat back the wine winery and type with every wine over a certain price point. The restaurant valued its customers and people came from all over to eat there. It was also 1978-79 so a very pricey wine was $200.

Sure, but how many coats does one person need? As the world burns because of overconsumption, Karen keeps buying more coats. Zoinks.

And we had to guess how many times the camel appeared....lol

The Caribbean Gyal from the UK with her awesome plats. Great vlog and glad you and Michael didn't have to dine and dash 😂😉😘🙏🏿❤️
That Saint Laurent COAT 🤎🔥🤎🔥🤎🔥🤎🔥🫶🏾😍Spectacular!!!

Wow! I'm a OG Subie from back with your short hair! I'm so Happy for you and all that you've accomplished!💃
Happy 2025 to you and Michael love love love your hair and your sense of style as always ❤x

The photoshoot look @ 1:51 you remind me of Grace Jones with the sharp shoulders and all black, I love it!
the camel saga! 🐪🐫 those were fun times! shows how much dedication you had to seeing your vision through.
I had to have it. LOL!
Always love when you pop in the 🐪 on your vids! And even catch your smile after you say camel, knowing it's coming when you post 😂. Love to you and Michael, as always you are a joy.
Omg seeing the camel again got me thru the last bit of my workout! Happy New Year Karen!! 🐫 🐪

@@KarenBritChick how much was the actual bottle of wine? Asking because that’s a drastic change in price on a menu. 1600 vs. 500 ? ☺️
So happy to hear you'll be styling your Chloé boots again after seeing them briefly in your last video 😊
Glad you like them!
I love the stella mcartney shoes!! *chefs kiss, I would definitely wear those! comfort and style..

I love your content-it's completely impeccable! Have you also considered changing your wooden banister to a glass or black iron enclosure?
@@kafraser123 no we cons d but it’s a no. We love the warmth it gives the hallway and we have lots a black accents elsewhere throughout

My dad is into wine and was a college professor and he taught me to always check the label so they don’t sneak in a pricier wine. His younger wife took over the duties when his eyes began to fail. I’ve NOT been as good as them but now I know I need to be (my dad told me that when he once was splurging on a new fancy restaurant that it had been tried on him which is another reason he loved the smaller owner/chef/maitre d ones)
wow see I didn't know this but glad you said. I doubt that restaurant did it but still its always good to actually READ the label and not just blindly trust whats poured
@ when I was in college and waitressing at a fancy restaurant we were required to let the customer know they’d ordered a very pricey wine and repeat back the wine winery and type with every wine over a certain price point. The restaurant valued its customers and people came from all over to eat there. It was also 1978-79 so a very pricey wine was $200.
Your hair looks Lovely❤
Thanks, restaurant info was good to know.
The return of the camel! That hunt for the perfect camel coat was a joy to watch.
