For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the *luxdups* as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Hi, I’ve been following your channel for a while and wanted some advice. I’m currently in year 12 and I’m attending the Young Professionals Conference on 11th July . It’s a chance for me to network with major employers like PwC, EY etc and a chance to attend talks and workshops. Do you have any advice on maximizing this opportunity and networking effectively? What topics do you think I should discuss and how should I be approaching employers to get a chance to make a valuable contact or get an opportunity. Also I saw in your videos that you had attended a careers fair, how was the experience for you and what was the environment like? Additionally what did you talk about at your careers fair with employers and what were the common things they asked you? Your advice and answers to my questions would be highly appreciated. Thank you
I think the best thing to do at careers fairs is just go over and have a chat! You can ask about what roles they have available, what they look for in candidates, is there anything you can do now that they think will look good on your application etc - they’ll be used to having lots of similar conversations so don’t feel nervous about making conversation! Best of luck 😊

Often you can do similar, especially at the big firms (e.g. for accounting the Big 4). Most offer apprenticeships which are similar to the graduate programs, but are often 4 years instead of 3 - definitely worth looking into if you don’t want to go to university!
A lot of people seem to have that goal but I’m currently not sure! It seems that most people leave audit shortly after qualifying 😊 a great perk of big 4 is that you can transfers internally too for either a secondment or even full time
Hello, thanks a lot for the video! I recently came across a comment stating that employers in the UK tend to prioritize elite Russell Group universities such as Oxford/Cambridge or Edinburgh etc. As a foreign student, I'm wondering if there's such a perception in the UK and if there is, how does the reputation of the University of Birmingham stand? Is it average, good? (I got an offer for LLB ^^) Thanks again <3 <3
Do you think I could have one personal statement that I can apply to universities for both accounting and finance and economics, like one common personal statement for both subjects or would I need to focus on just one path ie. either accounting and finance or economics? because im looking to become an M&A analyst and I saw that it is career path that is common for both economics and accounting and finance at universities like Warwick and Kings. thanks
Definitely! I was at an assessment centre with someone who had applied to Oxford for Economics and Management & to multiple unis for Accounting and Finance. Just make sure you don’t specifically say “this is why I want to apply to economics” etc 😊
I say to everyone buy what you like and what you can afford *condup* and you all continue to live your best life. Whether it is true or not is no one else’s business but yours. Celebrate the shortness of your life.
Hi i just came across your channel out of all the bicester village vlogs I've seen yours is the best ❤ so detailed and very informative 😊 Ive just subscribed to your channel 🎉
I know l’m late but anyway ,this video has been so helpful especially for someone perusing the CA career path. I reached out to you on Instagram, l’ve a few questions🥲kindly respond, Thank you.
Hi they have new stock quite often but I’ve seen the Dionysus there for quite a while with different colours too 😊 if you’re wanting current stock, best thing to do would be to call the store!
They have other shops too like Tommy Hilfiger, Ugg, Calvin Klein, Sweaty Betty, Under Armour etc which are a lot cheaper than the high end designer shops 😊 For example in Under Armour you could get a sports top for £10 from £30
Yeah I know , I was in Bicester village 3 years ago ( was visiting from outside Uk) got big Prada bag for about 700 something and for and 2 burbery top , the prices were pretty good deals can't remember the prices but Maybe I was lucky then But thank you for showing the prices so I can budget and plan well for my next trip
I think they fluctuate throughout the year too! Hopefully you’ll get some good deals next time you go 😁 there’s the extraordinary sale on now until 25th jan too
Hi! Depends dependant on which modules you choose. In your first year there are 10 modules which may seem like a lot, but given the assessments are quite varied it seemed very manageable. Different modules also have varying contact hours too 😊
Yes, it was a very nice cabin! Only issues were it was a bit small for four people so if possible I recommend getting one of the larger family rooms (ie with conservatory or suite) if sharing with 4 - would be perfect for 2 people though! Also the sun was blocked from the balcony as the deck above was overhanging. Location was convenient for buffet/pool/sunbeds though 😁.
