I really liked this video. I subscribed for your thrifting content, but then I fell in love with your personality and I watch every video you upload! I am interested in luxury content, but I would never own one. Just keep doing you! That's why i'm here. Hugs from Canada. xoxo

I am here because I adore you, regardless of what the video subject is. I am a plus size American, your hauls don't necessarily help me but I still love hearing what you have to say. Make whatever makes you happy, I know I love seeing that. I may never be able to afford luxury items, but I'd sit for hours to listen to you talk about your collection. I honestly would love to see the collection you have from the Designer of your dress (forgot his name) it sounds lovely.

@Pretty Pastel Please You need to know that: For goods with a value of AUD1000 or less, there are generally no duties, taxes or charges to pay at the border. However, From 1 July 2018, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) may be collected by overseas vendors of such low value goods when imported from overseas by consumers in Australia Goods with a value of over AUD1000 To import goods with a value over AUD1000, you need to lodge an Import Declaration. The Import Declaration provides information about the goods you are importing. There is a processing charge for making an Import Declaration. You will also be required to pay the duty and taxes for your goods. You may use the services of a licensed customs broker to help you import your goods.

Also, just split the order. Order half one week and have delivered to your own address, under $1,000 value , then order a week later for the next lot, and have sent to a different address. As long as the order is not all sent out at the same time, and there is a gap in between, then no duties are payable. $800 seems to be an awful lot of duty for items costing around $4,000 .

When you talked about the bracelet and your feelings, those times I wish there's heart-button to press ❤️ I mean, you are the inspiration to all who has ever been bullied (including myself). You are so strong and beautiful and intelligent, you really deserve all what you have work for. I wish I have the same gourage you have, and by listening your past and what you still have acieved, it really inspires me, and many other too for sure. Love you for pieces ❤️

If I had longer arms, all the way from Michigan USA, I'd hug you. I've watched you for a very long time, and you deserve everything you have worked for, because you have earned it. I seriously hope your bullies come across your channel and see you now.

I don’t really get the whole luxury fashion thing, it all seems so expensive and ridiculous to me, but I do really enjoy watching this content! Just watching your sort of chill videos like this are really nice but also I find these this type of stuff interesting, and I find your insights into it really educational! On another note, hearing you talk about your childhood and mental health was really nice. I’m still pretty young, only 21, but I relate to your situation so much and I’m currently in a pretty bad place in limbo waiting to hear back about both my job and a new flatting situation, so just hearing you talk about it helped me feel a bit more hopeful. Thank you for all that you do, it really means a lot to people.

Meg, don't let your dark inner self get the best of you. You ARE important. You DO matter. You ARE loved. You ARE NOT a burden. You ARE someone's whole world. It is okay to not be okay. If you need help, Don't be embarrassed or afraid to ask for it. You can't be pulled out of the water if you don't reach your hand out for help. If you need to, call the suicide hotline in your area. Just open up and talk to them or a close friend or family member. I hope things get better for you soon sweetie. Sending awkward, gentle hugs from a fellow depression club member.

They are basically just costume jewelry with a ridiculous prize tag. I saw a lady here on RU-vid who HD to bring in her Chanel earrings multiple times because the little fake pearls kept falling out and they keep doing it still. I would personally not get any or just something without any pieces that could fall out or break off. Definitely it worth it for me either way when I can get real gold or silver jewelry for much less.

Alex, I'd watch anything that you post. I watch your channel for YOU, your personality, humor and openness (and the birb of course). So I really don't mind what content you post. That being said, I get that you're worried about posting content centered on luxury items. It's not something I'm usually interested in or could ever afford and I think lots of other viewers relate to that. However, a good way to possibly compensate for it is to throw in some more thrifting videos as well (and possibly also DIY?) Your Christmas thrifting vlogs/hauls were some of my favorite videos you ever made. Think of it this way: your luxury items videos will probably attract lots of new videos while your long-time subscribers will adore your thrifting/DIY vids. Once it's possible again, traveling vlogs will probably speak to many different audiences and eventually, all of these videos will make cleanout videos possible (necessary) as well HAHAHA. A little bit of everything will make sure you don't alienate your audience and the variety will (hopefully) keep it fun for you as well :)

Bullying is the reason I hate brown LV bags and basically everything with the brown LV in it. The group of girls that where the harshest and most brutal with the way they bullied me had those bags (probably fake), so my brain automatically goes "ALTERT - TACKY - BITCHY - DON'T ENGAGE". It's nothing against the brand and nothing against people carrying those bags, it's just a warning system engraved into my mind.

I love ordering used stuff from Japan because their version of used is definitely VERY different from what you can expect here in Germany. I'm not into designer items but I collect gaming consoles and games and I can only recommend buying them from Japan. For certain Nintendo consoles you can even play your regions games on them, like the DS or all Game Boys including the GBA. Better quality and way cheaper even with shipping by now I've hooked up all of my friends.

I work for a company right now that is a bit like Amazon for a bunch of plus size brands and let me tell you as soon as it gets a bit colder our customers go crazy over the new extra wide boots. We have a wide range of them all in one place and we get a bunch of emails about them too. They are also available in wider sizes as in for wider feet and we have a selection for unusual shoe sizes too. I'm skinny myself but I'm always so happy when I get a happy email from someone who finally found something without any issues because on our site basically everything is just made for them or people like them. We are based in Germany and don't sell outside of Germany yet but I'm sure you can find the boots and stuff on other sites just more scattered.
