Vlog | A Little Catch Up, Even Shorter Hair, Some New Clothes 

Lizzy Hadfield I know what you mean. Brands know their way to get their advertisement out. As long as YOU know the brand well and stand by their marketing strategies, I don’t see the reason why you shouldn’t accept the offer. Hope this helps. Be merry! ❤️

I would accept the boots in your position because if you know you’ll get loads of wear out of them then it acts the same as a good purchase, the benefit of a job like yours is being able to be given these things! If it was something that was expensive but not wearable then I wouldn’t accept it just for the sake of it. (To liken it, I would love a pair of Dear Frances boots but I don’t have the money to buy them right now but I 100% would accept them as a gift lol)

Adding to what has already been said, I think that accepting a designer item that you normally wouldn't splurge on, gives you the opportunity to see if you can get more wear out of it and whether they were actually worth the splurge for people who can afford it. For those of us who can't (myself included), it is also helpful because you can wear it and compare it to similar high street versions of the item like you do in testing basics and decide whether you want to accept something else from the brand later on or not. I hope I made sense lol.

Lizzy Hadfield hi Lizzy, thanks for being so thoughtful about this and opening up the conversation (I hope you don't get any negative kick back from this as you seem so thoughtful and moral about this!). I personally have no problem with you keeping / sharing a piece that you wouldn't buy yourself - I think for me the thing that makes it ok is that you were honest about where they came from and the fact that you wouldn't buy them! Love your content always. Jo xx

I think that the opportunity you have to test out a high end version of a style of boot that’s all over the high street will give people the chance to see if you think it’s worth the spend and how it wears - I also think we consume your content for free as well as whoever else we watch and hopefully are all smart/savvy enough to understand that these ‘gifts’ (press samples) are part of how you are recompensed for the promotion you do for a brand.

Sending you a massive hug, Hilde. 😘

@@philippawood5047 Thank you so much, that's very kind of you!

This is so beautifully said Hilde.

Beautifully written xx

very well said. so sorry for your loss

simran kaur my phone was stolen YEARS ago, so I turn things in when I see them. I would’ve anyway, but I make a POINT of doing it. I was with my mom at a local lake and using a restroom, and a purse was on a decorative table, so I knew I’d turn it in when I left. Someone knocked on the door and I did the whole “one moment, please” thing, finished, grabbed the purse, and started walking out. It was the woman who left her purse. “Oh my god, it is here!” I told her I was going to give it to the restaurant owners for safer keeping, and she thanked me. She started gushing, and crying, about how there are good people in the world, and I appreciated it, but I didn’t want someone’s stuff to disappear. I know losing stuff sucks, someone taking your stuff sucks, and while I know not every item is returned, I always hope the special items will be. It’s one thing to lose an essentials bag with chapstick, hand sanitizer, etc., but something more sentimental or important should always be found. I know there are helpful people everywhere, but I do wish everyone was helpful.

That is lovely and such a beautiful comment! Great idea!

I sell watches (on high street) including Tags and I can say that Tag deffo should have some serial numbers on it. If they try to sell online, I doubt they would provide a box or paperwork with it, so should stand out hopefully. Don't lose hope. All I can do is keep my eyes open and tell people I know who deal with Tag Heuer watches to have a look out. Wishing you all the luck for it finding its way back to you xx

Georgia Kelly Agree, it's such a beautiful book.
