I'm a florist. Flowers get a pass. They make everyone happy. Whether you order them from me or pick up a bouquet at Trader Joes. They simply make people happy. Earth's mystery and beauty in a vase. Nothing better.

@stephb3321 Год назад

So true. I have a difficult time keeping plants alive, so I rarely buy cut flowers. However, I bought a bouquet of tulips a few weeks ago and it really brightened my spirits, as well as the room. Even if they don’t last long, flowers are so worth the purchase.

@nicoleloor7861 Год назад

I agree that quiet luxury has taken on a different meaning. I am in my 70’s and my business was interior design. I dressed in suits and dresses for many many years. I liked buying jackets that were finely lined, button holes that were are all finished, if you could turn the jacket inside out it would of be as fine as the outside. Dresses had all finished inside seams. I have silk dresses from the 70’s and those silk were true luxury. Even fine linens and fine cottons have been replaced. Too bad. Wearing luxurious fabrics gave me a great feeling. That is one of my luxuries still today but I have to shop my closet to find that quality. No matter what it is, you cannot beat quality no matter what item it is and it has nothing to do with logos.

@exomake_mehorololo Год назад

I so agree with you! Luxury is about high quality materials and matching highly skilled manufacturing of garments and accessories. Quality has taken a considerably nose dive in "luxury" using ever cheaper materials while prices have gone up ridiculously. Looking at a lot of well known designers like Dior, Gucci and Chanel I see this especially.... Cheaper and cheaper materials, mass manufacturing, watering down of fragrances, products made to tarnish or come apart quickly while simultaneously prices have increased close to 50% in a decade for some. There is nothing luxurious about these anymore.. Just empty branding aimed at the masses

@nicoleloor7861 Год назад

@@exomake_mehorololo It’s such a shame because I would still purchase items with good quality. The trend is disposable. Buy it cheap, wear it, on to the next item. I’m so happy that all the wools, linens and cashmeres and silks that I bought were classical styles still so much in vogue today.

@denverdubois5835 Год назад

Your post made me so wistful. I totally get what you mean about quality and craftsmanship. I used to work at a folk art store, back in the 90s. Even then we were seeing a diminishing of those things from the 1970s era and earlier. My boss was like me, she loved old things. We carried vintage quilts and they were so lovely I get misty remembering how they looked and felt. The old jewelry we carried was so special too. I used to wear a lot of vintage clothing during those years and I so loved the feel of 1940s cotton blouses against my skin, and old 1940s sheets too. The quality of that cotton was such that I haven't been able to replicate how it looked and felt nowadays, even shopping high end brands. Sad.

@karendrives970 Год назад

People presumed my mom had more money than she did because of the way she dressed and I fought that style for a long time but have come to better understand that having clothing with a fit and cut that makes me feel good reflects in how others perceive me. That's quiet luxury to me. Feeling and looking good.

@liliabenavides4052 Год назад

So true. The advise I got from my grandmother when I was growing up was to dress like a lady even if I was just out to get milk.

As a painter a quiet luxury for me is purchasing art from local artists. Fragrance is becoming a big one too, I love using them depending on my mood to tell a story for the day. Also that lipstick you’re wearing looks incredible!

@harriet.z Год назад

I’m totally with you! Being classy doesn’t equate upholding classism. I think in the age of social media, we as a society are forgetting what was just the “norm” of good dressing etiquette.

@sisifyme Год назад

no but that's where the word comes from and cannot be divorced from that context. I don't think anyone who casually uses it to describe a style aesthetic is somehow speaking on classes, but what we consider classy is definitely influenced by class systems.

Eloquently put Michele! You hit what real quiet luxury is on the nail head. I enjoyed hearing about your quiet luxuries. It is fun to see what people really appreciate in life.

@reginaroza3154 Год назад

I've been a sewist since I was 10 years old, i was trained in couture techniques. Something that is made well, thoughtfully sewn and fits like it was made for you is worth buying. I dont care whose name is on it or where it comes from, it just doesn't matter what you pay for it, some things are just that good!

@samanthahart8690 Год назад

I've also embraced my own version of quiet luxury as I've gotten older. I'm a teacher, so I'll probably never be able to afford designer clothing, but I have quit buying fast fashion. So now, instead of buying 10+ items each season that may only last a year or two, I only buy a couple pieces that are well-made in quality fabrics that will last. I have fewer clothes now, but they all make me feel good when I wear them. I saved my pennies and bought myself a beautiful cashmere cardigan and I put it on over comfy clothes every day after work. It's such a simple pleasure, but it instantly makes me feel indulgent and ready to relax.

@maureenturk8578 Год назад

Everyone has a budget, to spend as you see fit. In the past several years, as I’ve gotten older, my clothing focus is on fewer, better quality pieces. And taking everything to be tailored. After that, I think there’s a wide spectrum in how people define luxury. I love indulging in luxury makeup.

@ebonywilkes3589 Год назад

Mine is makeup, perfumes. I do have a story that is embarrassing. I was with some other women and one of them remarked about my makeup. When I told them what I was using they made a big deal out of how much it cost, and how they would never spend their money like that. Basically shaming me on spending so much and they would never do that. I was very embarrassed and I did feel ashamed. When I got home I went and looked at my makeup collection an came close to throwing it all away because of this. Then I remembered how much I loved playing with and testing new things and that fact that I work hard for my money and if that’s what I want to buy it’s no one’s business. I know this is off subject but when started talking about quite luxuries subject it reminded me of it. An those people who are treating quite luxury like it’s only for the wealthy are gonna give it a bad name. Everyone has a luxury item or items they buy that they consider a quiet luxury wealthy or not.

@marlens6581 Год назад

Tell the virtue signaling b*tches that spend endless cash on nannies, daily drive thru coffees and other dreck, that you believe in what you are buying and you love it, it makes you feel good and happy. They’re envious and low. Stay away from that type of negativity and toxicity.

I consider my books to be my luxury. I have a kindle for travel but it doesn’t compare to how much I enjoy taking a physical book and a cup of coffee or tea and spending a couple hours just reading.

I’m with you! Totally agree with your understanding of what quiet luxury is. I’m 40 and was quite taken back when hearing teens I know talking about ‘old money’ and how some clothes were old money and those were most desirable. This led us to a talk about what old money entails history-wise.

I truly enjoyed your rant and your take of what is quiet luxury. As much as I would love to have the quiet luxuries that resonate with you, I cannot afford your lifestyle. To me to be able to hear you and show how much you enjoy your lifestyle ( scented candles, flowers, beauty products etc with the things you love and is in itself an enjoyment. I remember when I was very young my late mum used to make dresses for me and siblings for Chinese New Year. She was a seamstess and make us clothes out of remnants material from her customers. Her workmanship is impeccable if I can say so myself. To me that is quiet luxury which I can relate to this day.. God how I miss her! Happy Belated Mothers day to all mums.

I saw your quiet luxury video and then other videos started popping up, and they were missing the point, LOL. For me, quiet luxury is those things you do for yourself and no one knows or most people won't notice. Can be Fashion, it can be household items, or activities even. I spoke about it for a couple of minutes in a video of mine, and I think im going to do another one cause alot of people are asking me about it. It's a subject people are getting more interested in. It's an intriguing subject for me and I'm glad you're talking about it. When I think of quiet luxury, I think Michele Wang ❤.

@Belle_Ndebeledoll Год назад

To me quiet luxury is certainly not a bank balance, but a state of mind. Dressing for yourself, with taste and quiet elegance. For me quiet luxury is ladylike etiquette, eloquence and a plethora of knowledge on a vast range of subject matter whilst being tactful but never gagged. Quiet luxury is also about knowing what you like, giving yourself time to enjoy those things or past times and finding quiet joy in the little rituals that spark joy and appreciation for life, be it skin care, hair care and using products that make you feel glamorous in your own life. I know when I go out, quiet luxury for me is dressing well (be that casual or formal), being well groomed and feeling confident, whether people notice me or not.

Flowers! How I adore flowers. My landscaping takes me back to my youth when my mom and I did our own gardening on our farm. Now in my 60s, I allow myself to have gardens full of perennials and annuals. My neighbors tell me how much they enjoy the flowers …which is sweet to hear. As much as possible, I bring cuttings indoors. Flowers, books, tea, candles, long cotton gowns, down pillows, great skincare, and fine perfume. These things mean so much to me, personally, but are nothing without family and friends.

I love your definition of quiet fashion, that's how I've always felt about my style or about fashion. My mum used to be a fashion designer, so I've grown up to appreciate good quality fabric, to wearing clothes that looks good for my bodyshape, height and skintone and if it's worth the price 😆 I'm really glad that I'm in a place in my life that I know what I like and what does and doesn't look good on me. Trying to follow trends and caring about what others think is tiring.

@literallyheather Год назад

As a fashion trend "Quiet Luxury" is a no logo, classic, high quality, subdued aesthetic. That's what it is. It is no different than the logo-mania trend of projecting an image of being rich. Both are just consumer marketing trends. You seem to be referring to a quiet luxury philosophy of living, which is something different. 💎

@AnUrbanGypsy Год назад

This ‘Quiet Luxury’ trend just has the labels on the inside rather than on the outer and it certainly is another way of portraying one’s wealth. I found these simply to be luxuries… except the Champion sweatpants. Although owning 10 pairs of the same pants probably is a luxury.

@cocopaulette Год назад

I agree with you on your take of quiet luxury. I think the way that it's being discussed on TikTok is completely far from my take on it. I just see it as understated vs. overstated luxury and I like both depending on my mood. I think quiet luxury focuses more on the quality of the materials and the fit, which is timeless and usually classic. It think "loud luxury" has its place because it's fun, editorial, creative and expressive. There's room for both. At least that's my view...

@remi.fragrance Год назад

I’m almost 30, and when I heard about quiet luxury and your perspective on it I was relieved! I find it so relaxing in a way knowing I can wear or have the items without the need for logos…it’s almost as if you don’t have the logo you can’t tell people you have “money”. Its a status that some portray and it never brought me a sense of peace or contentment. It just made me nervous as if I was on display and thats just not who I am nor my personality. I like the good quality pieces of a beautiful blouse or the perfect tailored pants etc etc. It’s a timeless way of looking and feeling in my humble opinion. My mom got me a beautiful floral porcelain tea pot…that is my luxury. I love pulling out my stunning delicate tea pot and doing a wind down self care ritual before I head to bed. 💕 And of course perfume. It’s my passion.

Omg…your Champion pants/makeup towel. You’re too funny. I totally agree with you about quiet luxury. One of my quiet luxuries is organic food (I’m about 97% organic). I know some people might argue that organic is essential, but you can survive eating healthier and not spending extra on organic. I also pay up when traveling if I can. I’ve always loved fresh flowers all over the house and I’m really getting into perfume. Overall, I’m trying to buy less, but better quality.

@malisabrown7597 Год назад

I absolutely loved your quiet luxury video and thought you described it perfectly! I don’t know where this snotty “old v new money” viewpoint came from but the quiet luxury look has always been around! To me it’s having really nice things and a clean minimal aesthetic without all the logos and branding , as in loud (hence the opposite of quiet???) Nothing wrong with logos but I suppose the “quiet” part comes from not being able to tell where your item is from as you mentioned in your previous video. BTW Your flowers are lovely 😍😍😍

@rachelnewman Год назад

I can in no way afford anything close to luxury but i agree with you on having cosy and comfortable nightwear and slippers 🤗 Also, your mention of facial mists reminded me of a Modern Family scene with Cam and Mitchell talking about a 'calming mister' 😂

@emchenderson717 Год назад

I loved your first video and didn’t have time to comment on it. I grew up around a mom and grandmothers who are/were quiet luxury. They taught me to find classic pieces that can last more than a season. They dressed very differently from one another yet they could buy each other very classic pieces. I have quite a lot of these “classic” pieces, not because I want to look rich but because I know they can go with anything or take me almost anywhere. And you don’t have to spend $$$$. Some brands that I see as “Quiet Luxury” is Celine(Phoebe Philo mostly), Goyard(because if you know you know), Faure la Page, Belgium Shoes, Akris, Loro Piana, Bernardo, Herno, Harris Wharf London, Brunello Cucinelli, Brioni, Alaia, Eskandar, the Row, Max Mara I feel like I could keep going but I think you get it. I agree that quiet luxury is more like First Class tickets, fancy soaps or candles, perfume(La Labo) it’s little things that you could find at a cheaper price but want to treat yourself. My car is my big Quiet Luxury. To brands though I usually go for bags that don’t have the large logos or they’re camouflaged into the bag. I’ve had someone ask if my Goyard was a wannabe LV Neverfull, which is too funny. I know many ladies who didn’t even know about Goyard until recently and these ladies are quiet luxury to a T. Skin care/ hair care is such a massive quiet luxury for me and I don’t feel guilty for the prices I pay. Edit: Sunglasses and Opticals. I have been obsessed with Celine glasses for years. Like Oliver Peoples there isn’t much on them to make them super brandy

@pure_indulgence8144 Год назад

I saw your first quiet luxury video and I could tell you hadn’t heard the growing shift from logonaina to quiet luxury and the overtones of “richness” and this idea of feeling superior imbedded in the shift. However, like all things there are folks who don’t feel that way and just enjoy luxurious items that are a bit paired back. Glad you show a different perspective and maybe one day people care less about what others think and focus more on what truly makes them happy.

I don’t know if you had red my loooong comment on your previous video but that’s exactly what I meant with this labelling and misinterpretations of it being an aesthetic and linked to this “old money aesthetic” which is so shallow and likely just about driving more consumption rather than more conscious consumption. Principles and statements you put out here are on point! Thanks Michele!

@julieswann9729 Год назад

I love Diptyque and smelling wonderful fragrances (flowers, candles, perfume) is such a treat. You have reinforced that love for fragrance I enjoy. On the other hand, I have to get rid of icky, artificially scented products. Watching you and having my coffee w hot whole milk on a Sunday is such a treat!

I have always been without until recently so my luxuries have always been in the little things, a bubble bath and candle. A new nail polish, perfume, a sweet treat or luxury lipstick. Now I can buy things I want I still try to see the value of simple luxuries that make me happy.

Love your take on quiet luxury and have many of the same items - beauty products (of course), facial mists, cashmere sweaters, perfume in an elegant bottle, etc. But my big personal indulgence is luxe travel accessories - I don’t love traveling much but must, so comfy slippers, a cashmere wrap, and high quality/highly functional luggage (my Rimowa train case is EVERYTHING) takes off the rougher edges. And all of these are for ME.

Quality of craftmanship, respect for the artisan... a beautiful fabric, a superfine Swiss batiste cotton, a knit that is soft, well made, that gives you a hug and dare I say confidence when you put it on, that will look as good in ten years as it does today. A love of beauty, of the well-made, well thought out design ( not just for the sake of design). I have a Degrenne teapot ...bought at least 20-25 years ago, the original creme with silver cover . Well made clothing and objects last.

I realize I’ve been practicing quiet luxury ever since I could afford it without even knowing it. It’s more for a state of being and truly enjoying being alive and existing. I enjoy an expensive luxurious perfume on even when I work from home. I spend on my skincare and health and well being with my supplements and coffee and teas. I wear dresses that are from sustainable farms that will last years and years and I love their comfort and pockets 😊. I am wanting to purchase this silk satin nightgown just to enjoy sleeping every night. I think it is a plethora of things that are unique to each individual 💜💜

@mzmerryweather Год назад

I will repeat myself from last time in my quiet luxury is perfume. Although, thinking about it...another quiet luxury of mine would be quality undergarments (bras/underwear) I know, may sound a bit silly but no matter how I dress...if I feel good underneath all is good in the world! Thanks for another great video Michele, you're the best

@loriengelmann9240 Год назад

I agree about fresh flowers and the tea. I use a diffuser in my house and I'm very picky about my essential oils. I would add very soft sheets. They are a gift every day.

@lux-love3521 Год назад

@Michelewang I agree with everything you said 100%. I originally assumed "quiet luxury" meant exactly what I thought those words were. Not loud logo's all the time or expensive but horribly made luxury item's. I have always enjoyed luxury item's, for details..craftsmanship things that made it special. Then came the newness of younger generations having "designer" everything along with insane price increases. But not so much increased quality. And then I learned "quiet luxury" was meant to be "old money" This is laughable to me. Posing on socials and acting as if item's make these people look rich is ridiculous imo. "Old money" is 7 generations of wealth. Not OWNING a luxury bag. I could go on and on. But thank you for addressing that nonsense. It's obsurd. Love your channel BTW! 🤍

@QHuda_A Год назад

My millennial generation and now Gen Z grew up around social media saturated with a performative life style, often not authentic to oneself, so this quiet luxury emergence does not surprise me. I did not know half of the 'quiet luxury' brands being espoused were in that category since my grandmother always invested in many of these pieces and left it all to me. I see genuine quiet luxury as living the life you seek without the world being a spectator for it across social media. It's about moments I cherish with my little nephew, holidays with loved ones, camping and hiking with friends, a spa week, etc. ultimately, it's about what nourishes my mind, body and spirit.

This was delightful.. thank you for speaking to this. I can’t explain it but while i love some styles the last thing on my list is to buy something that screams anything,, especially a brands name. It is like they are having wars with their competition on the products. For me the quiet luxury is usually something of very good quality that doesn’t scream nor does it make me do that. It is the under verbal MmmmMMmm when i wear it or use it because of how it feels or performs.. I am new to your channel and was impressed to hear your candid and authentic sharing about such things. 🌿

@christinaoconnell7476 Год назад

Exactly Michele - the joys of small pleasures - scent, taste, feel - that let us pause and just enjoy. I've always appreciated the idea but I think your videos have encouraged me to explore more and find my own favorites. Fresh flowers. yes!, pausing for tea often feels like the ultimate luxury - I'm very partial to Kusmi teas, esp their Tchai. Nowadays I burn a candle on my desk each work day as I start up the zooms. And yes yes yes to mist - May Lindstrom Jasmine Garden to start each morning, Chanel No. 1 Serum mist midday so I look fresh for the second round of meetings but also feel fresh. And scent everyday even though I'm the only one here. Definitely a way of life ... and as you say, not tied to price but to sensibility.

@sarahogren3697 Год назад

Your understanding of Quiet Luxury was mine also. I am 46, never watch Tik-Tok and barely ever Instagram. I do like my favorites on You Tube. As I've gotten older I don't mind a charm with a brand that's barely visible, however don't want to see initials or logos all over my handbag or on my clothes. Quiet luxury to me is "back to basics"...good quality silks, cashmere, even high quality cotton and linen, wool, or leather. Neutral colors that I can pair with many things and a "pop" of occasional fun color!! A sophisticated look! Two of my favorite purchases this past year were my long Lilysilk white nightgown. It's absolutely luxurious. Also bamboo cotton sheets from Cariloha. Amazing and wonderful quality fabrics. (And these items weren't even what I consider "super" pricey.) Where I splurge....it's always the top notch skin care, good coats, and good quality boots and flats for work. Considering that pillow spray!! 😊 That was my take away and I've seen other You Tubers talking about the sophisticated look...which is the only thing I had heard about prior! ❤

I thought a lot about Quiet Luxury and Old Money after your video. I live in Europe, in Vienna the Austrian capital. Old Money over here basically means that your family committed the worst crimes during WW2. Only a few Jewish/Austrian Royalty families are left which survived and got their wealth back. So Old Money is not really what I am into. Quiet luxury is for me lush materials, often times Vintage and items I bought myself 20 years ago. Leather, linen, silk, cashmere ... you name it. And I love travelling. Exploring our world is the biggest luxury to me. Taking the time, appriciating other countries and cultures and feeling inspired even months from the last trip ... while working and living my ordinary life in Vienna. Of course I like luxurious make-up otherwise I would not know your channel but my collection is tiny. Another personal luxury is buying one piece of modern art per year. I love owning these pieces.

@donnapug Год назад

I equate quiet luxury to this: I have a pair of cashmere socks that I love to wear in colder weather. No one can see them, but I know I have them on, and I know how comfy and warm they are and I don’t have to tell as soul I have them on! I know and that’s good enough for me. They’re not better than your cotton or nylon socks, but I like them because they make my feet feel comfy 😊

Regarding the video a week ago; I wanted to say Thank You for talking about being an Introvert! That touched my heart ❤ There's nothing wrong with being alone & it's so helpful to hear someone else talk about the things I can relate to 100%!! Because so many don't understand it. And it's true, I think we care & feel so deeply it has to be limited.🤍 So after the last 3 years I think dressing rich has changed. Now it's about fabric, comfort and personal style. Dressing before was mainly about how you looked & what others saw, now it's about how you feel & see yourself... Lounge wear is extremely important for many who only go out a few times a week. The industry needs to focus on that more imo. That includes shoes, but we're getting there. 😊 Thanks for sharing 🤍

Welllll….. one of my quiet luxuries is going to Trader Joe’s and spending hours shopping! Going down every isle very slowly and looking at all the amazing, wonderful, delicious food item’s! 🤤 I don’t pay attention to the prices, if it looks good- I get it. Seriously though, I really enjoy going there. Not only is their food delicious but the store staff couldn’t be more polite and helpful. Now that’s a place I don’t mind spending my hard earned money at. And of course my high end beauty products. That will always be a quiet luxury for me.

I love La Mer, I spent so much money on a rotation of expensive and nicely marketed moisturizers for many years as well as well reviewed drug store brands and never noticed anything all that different about them, which became a problem as I aged a bit and my skin dried out. La Mer is the only thing where I feel a noticeable difference every time I use it so it’s now been like 7 years that I’ve used nothing else. It’s actually nice to stop looking because I actually enjoy a product that much… skincare can feel like a hamster wheel of dissatisfaction.

Hello Michele. OMG how I enjoyed and related to this video. I so often listen to your contests but rarely comment. My signature fragrances bring me joy and uplift my mood, as well as fresh flowers, gourmet teas, candles, great skin care (I agree it's very Personal) And my silk and cashmere scarfs. Jo Malone WS & SS + Fig n lotus flower are my seasonal go to. Im a hospital health care provider, and when the pandemic hit for long dark 3 years, Quiet luxury and Yoga saved me. My 25 yr old daughter sort of follow my foot steps in regards to quality vs quantity as she's grown which melts my heart. Blessings and Love to all ❤️

@cathyhurst922 Год назад

I buy fresh flowers at my local Saturday market every week. Tea is also a quiet luxury for me. The whole process of making the tea and having it in a special mug. A luxurious ball of yarn on my favorite knitting needles is also yummy.

I love love your take on it and that’s why I keep coming back The quiet luxury trend absolutely cracks me up: outsiders telling other outsiders how to (incorrectly) try to be a part of a “club” they will never understand and that doesn’t know they exist, or care about what they’re doing… and can pick them out as an imposter at one glance 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 It’s great entertainment though. Here’s some quiet luxury for you: using an Hermes saddle because both you and your horse should have the best. Buying art privately because you like it and who cares what anyone else thinks (just thought of Rose from titanic saying “someone Picasso” lol). Putting in a private rose garden so that you can see and enjoy it daily as you please. Love your channel so much❤

My quiet luxury is definitely cold brew iced teas from my favorite tea house down in Tucson near the University of Arizona. I was shocked how often I was in coffee shop lines and in restaurants ordering tea…and now I make the perfect tea and have lovely water bottles to carry it wherever I go. I also enjoy candles and cologne.

I so agree that there is something special about a facial mist. I have sent them as gifts to family and friends, especially those who are going through pre-menopause. My favs are from Fresh (citrusy) and Glow Recipe (watermelon). I'm always looking for new facial mists that do not smell like roses, so many do.

On the subject of a fragrance being discontinued: when I heard that Chanel was (incredibly, stupidly, short sightedly) discontinuing Cristalle Eau Verte, I went on a mission to purchase a few backups. It literally is my summer go-to scent. I put it on when I want to feel awake, when I want to be fresh for a workout session, after a bath in the summer, when i want to feel cool... it's a gorgeous default fragrance for me. I put my backups in a dark, cool cupboard and I'm pretty sure I have enough to last the rest of my life (phew!) 💚 Edited: Chanel are one of those companies that don't play when they say they're discontinuing something. Once it's gone, it's gone! 😩

One could express quiet luxury even when wearing logos and bright colors. Quiet luxury is indeed an inner quality independent from things and objects and trends. One could wear understated fashion and look vulgar and loud. And, vice versa. Yes, you do you. And let's continue to enjoy what we love and acknowledge that this changes with the seasons and our moods. We are constantly changing and evolving. Thank goodness. Ohhhh and a huge yes to flowers everywhere!

@mscsunshine5531 Год назад

I totally agree with you and point of view on quiet luxury I had been building the idea of quiet/ intimate luxury for myself without realizing it with my shower ritual, skincare & make up selection and clothing. The selections are about an articulated quality that essentially elevates my sensory experiences- touch, smell, taste and touch. For example, two weeks ago, Nordstroms, NYC hosted a master class for Parfum de Marley scents, which was an opportunity to deep dive into quite a number of the fragrances in the format of a wine pairing lead by one of their top trainers . This past week I made a purchase and I have selected Pegasus and Delina de Rose - a beautiful combination, that’s going to be unique to me and on me - my portable quiet luxury. Also fresh flowers every week mine are from TJ’s placed in beautiful vases and I enjoy making lovely displays.

@studiogirl1967 Год назад

You should check out Skandinavisk candles and diffusers. My friend Sean started it here in Copenhagen, and they are wonderful. My faves are Øy, Koto and Lempi, but there are rose, sea and forest scents as well. And the containers are very chic, very scandi❤

Quiet luxury is a label attached to a way of dressing whether it is high end or not. My mom is 95 and has always dressed in this way and it was her personal style and to this day still is. Her style isn’t labeled, it is the way she puts herself together, very unpretentious. She has never been a fan of logos. She had a marketing company and she always believed that she wasn’t going to be a walking billboard for a brand. It is all very personal but it is in my opinion a gift to be able to pull your self together and look amazing. I wish I had her gift.

@kdgeckoknits274 Год назад

I think there are many interpretations of quiet luxury. Part of the issue is that old money folks tend to dress in classic garments and handbag styles but items of high quality (and expensive). And, for the most party, old money folks do not advertise their wealth with loud logos. My understanding is that quiet luxury has mostly or everything to do with fashion. I've been aware of "quite luxury" for decades, and it has always or seems to have always been related to fashion. Lately, it's just a trend. Every individual can call whatever they want quiet luxury. But I think (and I could be wrong) that the notion of classic quiet luxury is all about fashion. Thanks for your videos. Enjoy your tea and candles. It's a lovely joy of life.
