Hi lovely, what size are you? The Dior trainers are a 37.5 or US7. If you that's your size, would be happy to sell them to you. Just email me at askmelinmelbourne@gmail.com. They are so gorgeous it's a shame I know lol xx
One piece of advice I have is to buy something that you know you wear every day regardless of the circumstance, then buy a couple more in different colours or a similar style. As much as variety is good, it will be a waste if you don’t use it
@@lizd6886 Does Hermes let you purchase more than one evelyne in a calendar year? Or they frown upon it? I love it and want another color, but afraid they won't let me.
I’d have to say, at least one luxury regret I had was getting myself a Birkin. I bought one in the pre-loved market, a simple black 25 Togo with ghw and as beautiful as she was, I used her once when I wasn’t with my babies and that was it. For my lifestyle, the Birkin isn’t practical since I prefer a bag with a shoulder strap or crossbody. Definitely a Kelly girl instead of Birkin. So, I sold my Birkin on and I don’t have any regrets.
This is why I am back and forth. I want it but I'll be a new mommy and don't know when I will use it. Have my evelyne tpm and think that's is more practical and debating on now a second one in a different color or picotin
Hello there! For how I see it, Birkins are travel bags and nothing more. Even in that case, to be used consciously, as they're pretty heavy for a travel bag...
The thing with flat sandals like the orans and vivaias is that no matter how expensive, they just look like house slippers. You can only go out to a summer resort with it, otherwise, you ruin your whole outfit when you go out to the mall wearing house slippers. At all times, I prefer any open-toed sandals with heels when going out. 😊
Oooh!! I absolutely adore the LV heart bag! I wish I had purchased it back then. My name translated in Chinese is Heart. Hahaha….you REGRET purchasing it and I REGRET not buying it. 😂 Let me know if you want to part with it. I will gladly give it a good home. ❤😊
Hi Mel, I truly appreciate your honesty and transparency. You always shared something that are luxurious and something affordable too. Always share your personal experiemces, knowledge and pksitive vibes with your followers. Sending lots of love from Malaysia.❤
I really love these kind of videos. You guys spend a ton of money and then tell us the cons,and give us alternatives at a fraction of the cost😂 Really helped us to save our money without splashing on these ridiculous luxury pieces. Thank you! Funny thing is we all know luxury shoes will never be as comfortable as non luxury proper shoe makers and yet people still buy for the logo😅
I have got a big collection of luxury goods and one big thing I have learned after many years is: only buy what you use tomorrow and avoid to buy what you don’t know when you can use it, even it is an icon item which is called timeless. I have not used Chanel classic flap bags or Lady Dior for long time because they are not practical. But I am so happy with other seasonal products like tote bags, bucket bags or wallet on chains…😊
I bought the Vivaia ankle boots and margots flats after watching your last video and live in them! I think I need those sneakers now as I regret my Alexander McQueen ones. They are hot to look at but terrible for comfort that's a big regret. Love these honest videos Mel, tfs! ❤
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in LYXBAG other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
Second the sneakers, I have bunions and bought the white pair last year and they're my favorite trainers. I have 2 colors now. Thanks for the code Mel, just bought the Kara sandals they will be perfect for my wide feet. My biggest regret is designer costume jewelry, spent a fortune on them and won't buy them anymore! Appreciate you sharing your mistakes, these are my fave type of videos from you as I learn so much!
I regret all my designer sunglasses! They are all a waste of money!!! I think I have one or two pairs throughout the last 20 years that I actually like 🙄
That Fendi strap cost more than my rent 😅 omg that’s crazy I just sold my LV toiletry 19 and I’m so happy I did. Never used it besides for display and that’s just a waste to keep things that aren’t being used and loved 💗
I had a big luxury purchase. I bought a Burberry check shirt, I've only worn it once and then I carefully folded it back up in the beautiful Burberry box it came in and put it back on my shelf. It was a huge regret for me. 😢
My regret is spending money on basic black and nude pumps for that "just in case" situation, ie. Interviews, meetings, events. Yeah, no. I can dress nice without wearing heels. A pair of classic flats are just as good. 😅 Lesson learnt. Now I have to find a place to donate them, maybe.
Oh Wow. I wish everyone would do this video. I will agree Mel, there's no need for every color in the rainbow but boy do they look Pretty. 😁 I know, I'm not being helpful here. 😁 Mel, I can't think of a luxury item I own & regret but there are several I wish I'd purchased long before the price increases - Chanel Reissue 224 😢. I'm now thinking, if I could do it all over again there are some items I have that I would prefer to own in a different size. Great video Mel. 💯💛
I love the de-influencing Mel! Honesty is always good and I love this video. I'm at the stage of my bag collecting where I only keep what I actually use. If you're still keen on letting go of your toiletry 19, would be happy to buy it off you. :)
I am definitely going to check out the Vivaia shoes. I am so sick of shoes with really thin soles, or thickish but hard, or comfortable but looking like something my great grandmother would have worn. :D
Hi Mel, the LV heart bag is so cute but wasn't for me. Oh Lord Mel I have such an issue with sandals with my feet 🙄 The birkin is beautiful, but I'm a 30 fan!!!! Great advise ❤❤
Thank you for the code for Vivaia Mel! ❤️ I have just used it to purchase a pair of Casual Sneakers (V prime) in white green. I have so many pairs of shoes from Vivaia that I think it's now bordering problematic. But they're so comfortable. I just wish they make their shoes in size 34... Then I'll be buying all the sandals. 🙈
Totally agree on the orans, they are not comfortable for me either. I also prefer the oasis, but they are still not my most comfortable shoe and can only wear them when I don’t have to walk a lot. 😂
I luv the LV ❤ bag...... I definitely would wear it all the time & get use out of it. The others, yes I agree, I would pass on them. Great transparently.....you're too cute 😍 Great presentation 👏
Hi Mel, I’m based in Melbourne as well. Just wondering you are considering to resell the things that you don’t want anymore? I am interested in your Hermes collection and it is just so hard to get something normal from the local boutique.
Hi lovely, yes I know I need too lol so going to try plan a vlog sale in the next couple of months. However if you are interested now email me at askmelinmelbourne@gmail.com and I'll be happy to sell it to you. I know they can be pretty hard to find or sell for crazy resell prices xx
As always your videos are so informative. it’s made me re-evaluate what I wear these days. I used to be mad about my Classic double flaps but prefer something more plain / sedate now. They can be quite dressy no matter how classic your outfit is… So if I want a very minimalist look I don’t opt for the classic flap bags. X
I love the video. My luxury bag regret is the LV Neverfull DA MM. You can’t zip the bag so all of your contents are visible, when carrying it on your shoulders the leather straps dig in and finally color transfer ! Not my best purchase 😊
I had the Day sneaker as well. For some reason the Kelly lock clicked so much that it drove me crazy. I had to let those go because I could not handle the clicking.
You could have been a model..You move like one and model like one..I can know because I was one,about 100 years ago.😄( 1974-1978..my Greek husband was jealous,so I stopped.🤷🏻♀️It wasn’t my world anyway,I wasn’t hard enough.😊) I have heard a lot of RU-vidrs complaining about the zipper from the Jodie bag. That it’s very hard to use. So it’s not only you.😉😘
Hi Mel.. I’m Gigette from Luxembourg. i just watched your video now.. I’m just asking if you ‘re interested to exchange your birkin 25 to my Birkin 35 is in very excellent condion worn a few times. Few stickers are still intact in macassar color ( dark brown) and palladium hardware.. i bought it here in my hermes local store. If you’re not interested is still ok. Thanks in advance.
loved this video! It was actually very relieving to hear you discuss Hermes because I’ve been debating on which pair of shoes I want first and feel like I’ve been looking towards items more on trend rather than what’s true to my personal style! Thanks for sharing!
To me, designer sneakers are a complete waste of money. I wear what Princess Kate wears (which makes me feel cool and modern). Nike, Asics, Superga, New Balance. Get your comfort from s athletic shoe or walking shoe. Dior, Hermes....they don't cut it! 👎
Well said- I do have balenciaga triple s and it’s kind of a heavy that it’s not comfy- go for superGa if it’s not too much, Golden goose is also a candidate for comfort and style. 😊
For luxury goods, it is often the case that when you buy it, you like it very much, but after a period of time, you will regret that you have ordered a product with such a high price that does not meet the value of the product itself. The luxury price is more of a brand benefit.
I loved it especially the color and the size …that will fit to me perfectly.I’m interested to buy it in case you decided to sell it.Please let me know.
I hear you about the ankle straps. Whilst it looks super cute unless you’re quite tall it’s not flattering. Am a petite girl and don’t want my legs cut off at the ankles ahahaha
Omg, heels in every rainbow 🌈🌈🌈 colour??? I think you should sell them even at a loss cos they will eventually disintegrate if unworn. I've a pair of heels that came apart sole and top cover cos i haven't worn them for 2 years.
Never wasted money on designer costume jewelry. Love fine jewelry. I have lots of antique and vintage pieces and I wear them one or 2 pieces at a time.
@@MelinMelbourne I would say follow your heart. You have such a variety of bags and colors already. Maybe orange? I believe you only on the Pico 18 in that color not a quota bag. I could be gorgeous with gold hardware this time? I also like pastels🧡
@maricielgalicia ended up with evelyne tpm because of the everyday use and cross body. Fits less items, but for everyday use, I like the ease of it. Next purchase might be the picotin.
