Welcome to my channel! I'm Leslye of "What Leslye Loves" and I'm excited to share my thoughts on all the things I’m loving during these ever changing seasons of life. I’m a wife and a mom of 5 kiddos with various needs and of varying ages. This helps with my perspective in life and has allowed me to learn to be flexible with the things that come in & out my life. So sit back, enjoy, and thank you for sharing your time with me!
Can you do a video on how you clean your lighter leather bags. I’ve just got my very first *yutulu* YSL in the beige leather but worried about transfer from clothing and wondered if you had any tips on keeping it looking perfect
Hi Leslye! Your new charm looks so pretty on your bag! I really wish Coach would switch from ball chains to leather straps on all their hangtags like the one on your charm-it would be such a nice upgrade.
The charm is perfect-and I’m not a charm person either 😂! Ok do the video about the Odeon-I sold mine and am thinking I’ll repurchase it too haha. It never ends, does it?!😅
The charm looks so cute with your Brooklyn bag! 😍🤎 I’m not really into bag charms either but this one compliments and blends in with this bag seamlessly. Enjoy and thank you for sharing!
I just love the Brooklyn ☺️ it makes me so happy just seeing it sitting. Thanks for showing how the heels look on it. Hope to see an update on how they wear!
That charm is so stinking cute on that bag 😍 the style reminds me of these dream catcher things I used to wear in my hair when I was a teen during pow wows lol
Hi Leslye! Wow this was such a fun video to watch and oh my goodness thank you so much for your love and support of the channel and for Handbag Heels! I love that we’re twinning! Also, your daughter was completely right on the round ones 😂 I think they look great on the Brooklyn! I appreciate you ❤
Thanks for this comprehensive review! ❤ Been looking for reviews on this bag for a while. I think I just found my perfect work tote. It ticks all the boxes. Will purchase one soon
I feel you! If it doesn’t work Bring it back! I’m drooling over the Empire toooooo BUT Don’t need her either! 🤦🏾♀️ being a Handbagaholic is hard!!!!! I myself loving the quiet luxury vibe! TFS
Not a bag just yet but yes I spent the morning attempting to organize my closet and the hat my son came from the hospital in is in there. He’s two now and my husband and I will always keep that little hat. He was 3.7 lbs when we brought him home and that little hat is smaller than the palm of my hand
I enjoyed this Monday morning chit chat while cooking breakfast. I have several bags and items that have sentimental value. I reached 1k subscribers a month ago and purchased the Coach May Shoulder bag just before reaching that milestone. That’s just my most recent sentimental bag 🥰 So funny about your daughters later fighting over who can get your LV Speedy 25. Thank you for sharing! ❤
First off, congrats again on hitting such a wonderful milestone in YT! I know first hand the effort that goes into these videos. It’s funny because I don’t reach for my speedy b as often as I should c but I suppose it’ll keep her in great shape for whomever wins out 😂
You know I watch Alexa’s content also and saw her video of influenced purchases also! It was crazy how she remembered everyone who recommended each product! For me I’m very influenced to buy. Especially makeup, clothes, bags-I don’t have a lot of female friends that are into that stuff so I go on RU-vid for recommendations 😅! Yikes! I need to take a break from social media/youtube also because all the marketing is just too much!
@@bella4135 I’m on the same boat with limited in person friends so I turn to RU-vid and social media. Which is wonderful….but can be dangerous 😅 I was affected by Helene and lost power and so much came back into perspective for me. That’s a video to follow soon. Thanks for sharing! It’s encouraging to know I’m not alone.
❤The black Empire 40 looks great on you! Thank you for your lovely review. Love your enthusiasm! I ordered the Merlot and Navy a few days ago. Now I may need a black one! I also never heard of the zoomoni neverfull insert, but now I will order some. Thank you!
Omg!! 👯♀️ I’ve been down the bought and sold or return life with bags. This one is beautiful! Yes I buy multiple in same toooo!!🤦🏾♀️ your not alone! I’m 5 ft and petitissh too!! You look amazing, TFS!
I love Polene. The bag’s silhouettes are so unique and creative. They are sculpted in a way that is exactly as you described, architectural. If I wasn’t trying to control my handbag acquisitions the Mokki would absolutely be one of my purchases.
@@NothingButBags I get compliments everywhere I go when I’m wearing my Polene bags. I think this Mokki is worth breaking the rules much like our Empire was 🙃 I think you’d love her!
@@lea-h762I believe she’s just under two pounds. She’s not light, but she’s definitely not heavy and I’m super sensitive about weight. The thicker strap distributes the weight very nicely.
I have been eyeing the mulberry bag for the longest time!!! I have an Alexa but I prefer a more structured bag. Will be keeping an eye for your video on the mulberry and what fits ❤
Oh dear God, woman❣️ Now I’ve fallen in love 😍 with ANOTHER bag 😂 The journey was fun though and you cracked me up with all you inner monologue becoming outer monologue 😊
I love Polene and the Mokki and Cyme are 2 of my wishlist bags from the brand. This was a great video. I’m glad you were won over by their service and that you came back to let people know they are worth a purchase!!!
Thanks for the update! I literally just receive my large cyme in cognac last night and I LOVE it! I was really worried because I’d heard a bunch of negative reviews about quality but mine is perfect (and I am really picky too 😂)! So unique!
She is stunning. Loved watching the progression of your thought process with her 😅❤ so glad you're deciding to keep her! I definitely want to splurge and get one for my 9/28 birthday + Christmas gift 🫠🙈🤞🏻 but now, even more than before watching, I'm completely torn on a color choice! Immediately I fell in love with the Merlot, that burnishing just tickles me in the best way. However, this black is sooo chic and it further solidifies why i wanted the Empire in the first place - I've been searching for a Jane Birkin iconic bag (charmed and tattered) dupe and this black color is really just that 🙃 the Navy is soooo amazing also 😂 the bag is just a stunner. What would have been your 2nd color choice? Thanks for sharing!
@@emeraldeity_ well, happy almost birthday to you! I think this will make a wonderful gift. And thank you for your most wonderful comment as well. I too was always on the hunt for something classic like a Birkin or the Row Margaux bag, but nothing ever felt quite right. I did a video on the entire 28 that I was hoping would give me that look, but the smaller styles feel different in texture and look. So as soon as I saw this one, I knew I had to have her. The Merlot color was my first choice at one point because it would have that worn in look right away, but I knew that the black would always feel more classic and timeless and easier to wear year round as I feel the Merlot shade is very distinctly fall/winter IMO. That said, I have zero regrets going for black and although I love the look of the Merlot and the navy, the timelessness of the black wins out for me. If you purchase one, please do let me know what you end up with 🤗
@@WhatLeslyeLoves thank you for responding! I stayed up late watching and rewatching YT and IG videos about her 😂 still just as confused this morning. I will definitely let you know what color I'll go for 😄
In the long run, you ended up with the right bag. The 40. The bag on my wishlist is a longchamp la pliage small. It will probably be in 2025. I really don't need it. But my husband and I each buy something with his Christmas bonus. ❤
I got tickled when you spoke about the Empire and how you weren’t getting it and of course I know you have since bought it. 🤭 And LOVE it. I have gone through phases of purse peace, purse prison, purse purchasing 😂 and find it’s ok to be wherever you are in the moment. Showing yourself grace as you change your mind as we ALL do. I love your Polenè bags and think if you’re happy with what you have that’s DEFINITELY peace. ❤
@@NothingButBags I’m learning to give myself more grace. I can be hard on myself but also fail to acknowledge how much I’ve learned in this process. Especially after my Empire, I’m feeling super content with my collection. While I don’t know how long this feeling will last, it’s good to come to a point where you feel happy with what you have. I’m one blessed purse mama ☺️
That’s such a good feeling too after making a return knowing that you made the right choice and that the item will soon go home to someone who will enjoy it so much more! 🥰 The DUYP Le Petit Paris 15 was just released today in the color burgundy and I’m tempted to pre-order it but after buying my Coach May Shoulder Bag, I’m kind of feeling like I’m at purse peace too at least for the remainder of this year. ☺️
@@sibimarie oh, but the DUYP Le Petit would be so cute on you!!! Super not trying to enable you, but I think you’d love this bag. And yes - that charm found its perfect home and I’m glad I let it go.
I had the Laurel bag on my wishlist at one point but then I told myself I don’t need another black Coach bag 😅 I’m with you on keeping my bag collection nice and tight. ❤
@@sibimarie the Laurel bag was better than the Teri for sure. But I also didn’t need another bag of that size in my collection so nice and tight it was.
@@TheHopefulminimalist I kept her and just absolutely love her! I just posted a pic of her in my community page and am so glad I fully unwrapped her and am enjoying her. The leathers are different, but both so good on the chain tabby and this sized empire.
