Hi guys I'm Eileen, welcome to my channel. Today's video I want to talk about the
most and least used luxury items in my collection. Now I'm going to separate
them into a few categories so if you are interested please keep watching
In terms of fine jewelry I've been wearing this necklace every day since
the day I got it. So this is by Van Cleef and Arpels. The one I have is in rose gold
and in the sweet alhambra pendant. Now the pendant is made out of solid
rose go,ld I didn't go for the precious stones because I knew I was gonna wear
this necklace every day so if I did get it in let's say the mother of pearl it
will be a bit harder than look after. So I went for the rose gold pendant. This
piece is super easy to look after, I wear in the shower and sometimes I even spray
perfume on it and it's still looking amazing. I've never really taken off, it's
my everyday necklace. Now this is a beautiful piece it looks very simple but
very elegant the chain is very fine but it's very
very shiny now a few people asked me if I've had any problem with the chain
because it looks so thin, and the answer is no. It's thin but it's very very hard
wearing and sturdy. The pendant is tiny so it goes with absolutely everything and
it's perfect for everyday use. Now if you don't know Van Cleef and Arpels,
you'll probably think is just a simple and beautiful necklace, but if you
do know Van Cleef, then you probably know that this is a classic piece to
have. I think this is a wonderful piece to have especially if you are starting
to build yourself a fine jewelry collection. I've also been wearing my
cartier love ring a lot so the one I have is in the rose gold with the diamond
pave. They also do one in thinner version and another one in the wider version so
the one we have is in the medium size. I absolutely love it and this is basically
my upgraded wedding ring. In fact I usually wear under my original
wedding ring I think they look perfect together. So I
usually prefer yellow gold from Cartier, in fact when I went into the store I
thought I'd be getting this ring in the yellow gold but when I tried the rose gold
on I just fell for it. I think the rose gold really compliments
the diamond pave. The yellow gold still looks amazing
but I think with the diamonds it would just be a bit too loud, so I went for the
rose gold. I get a lot of compliments on this piece even from people who don't
know about Cartier and this is my forever piece and you know I'm so happy
to have this in my collection. So this is my least used piece of jewelry is the
necklace by Van Cleef and Arpels in the yellow gold with the magic alhambra
pendant in the mother-of-pearl. Now this piece is so beautiful. I think the mother
of pearl with the yellow gold they're just perfect together. When I was making this
purchase I was debating between getting this one all the vintage alhambra
version. I went for this piece because I thought I didn't have any long necklaces
so I thought this would be a great addition to my collection and I also
thought the chain was longer so it would be a lot easier to put on, so it will be
a very convenient piece to have. So you just put it on like that there you go
Again this piece is so elegant, very very well made so it looks perfect on a
dress but I think you can easily dress it down too
It can look amazing on the casual outfit as well and I think I'm never really
reach for it mainly because I'm not used to wearing long necklaces so this one
has got the magic alhambra pendant so it's got a bit of weight to it so I feel
like when I move the pendant does move quite a bit with me and there's
been a few times when I eat when I bent over to get things and the pendant will
knock the table and because this is in the mother-of-pearl I'm very worried
that you would get scratched or it will fracture. For the time being,
its still looking perfect but I think if you do bang the table like so it's
certainly gonna get damaged one day. Also when I wear the necklace, because
the chain is quite long I find that it does tangle itself like that sometimes
and I have to undo it so this piece does require quite a bit of care and at this
stage of my life because my little boy is still quite young and I often have to
run after him quite a lot, so at this moment it's not the most practical piece
For me but I'm not thinking to sell it I am keeping this in my collection because
I know when my little boy is bigger I'll be wearing it quite a lot. So if you've
watched my video before you will know that I don't usually buy a lot of
costume jewelries I usually prefer to save up a bit longer to buy fine jewelry but
I quite like that Hermes leather bracelets and I have
quite a few of them and my favorite one is this one so this one is in the black
Epsom leather with the rose gold hardware this is perfect for me because
I love black and I adored the rose gold from Hermes. I find that with this piece
it just goes with absolutely everything my outfits are usually very simple and
this is such a statement piece so it does complete a simple outfit. My
husband doesn't really like to CDC bracelets he thinks it's a bit too manly
but I absolutely love them I've actually done quite a comprehensive review video
about the hermes bracelets so I'm gonna leave a link now below if you're
interested, have a look. So the piece of costume jewelry that I've not been
wearing a lot is my DIOR earrings my friend gave them to me as a wedding
present about seven years ago, but I never really reach for them because I'm
not a dangling earring girl I usually prefer simple studs and also because
they are in silver I usually prefer jewelries in yellow gold or rose gold so they
are absolutely beautiful but they are just not really for me.
In terms of bags I've been using this louis vuitton mini palm spring backpacks
so so much so this is tiny is so cute and it can fit quite a lot of things
actually for a mini bag well at least it can fit everything I
would need when I go out and this is my perfect weekend bag I bring it out a lot
on family outings picnics and even to the park I also love bringing this bag
to holiday I usually use it as a crossbody bag and because it's so small
it's it's very close to my body so I feel very safe even when I go to a
crowded place. I also love to use the bag as a top handle back I find that it
looks very cute when you hold it like that
In terms of comfort I think this little guy is such a comfortable bag to wear
some people say the strap feels pretty thin but for myself it's not really a
problem it feels perfectly fine on my shoulder
if you ask me I would say this but it's quite expensive for what it is because
basically it's a small canvas bag but because I've been using it so much so
cost per wear is a lot lower compared to a lot of other bags I have. And also
because the canvas is very hard wearing, it's very durable this bag I can see it
going strong for many years to come. In fact I can't really see any wear and
tear on this bag after using it so much, so I do strongly recommend this bag. I
think it's very very playful I'm cute and practical so the back that I've used
the least is my Hermes Lindy 26 so the one I have is in the clemence leather
and in a color called sauge, so basically it's a light green color with a gray
undertone. I never thought that I will ever buy a bag in green color but when I
saw this color I was so because it's quite a neutral
green and I feel like I can go with a lot of things I think the Lindy is
perfect in the size 26 because it looks so cute but at the same time is big
enough to carry then I will need. It's a very practical
bag as well because it comes with a shoulder strap and the top handles you
can either carry the bag like so or put them on the crook of the arm and that
usually is my favorite way of carrying this bag. So the Lindy is got five feet
on the bottom, so it does help to protect the bottom off the leather and on the
side is got two side pockets which i think is a very handy feature to have
and on the inside it's got a very generous space so you can certainly fit
a lot of things and then on the inside it's got two in the pocket and sometimes
I fit some cash in there or my ID whatever that's important
I still use this bag but I usually use it in the summer I think mainly because
of the color. If I did get it in the black color I think I would have used it
a lot more. I really recommend this bag because it's so beautifully made, the
attention to detail is impeccable. Every time I look at her I just think it's so
gorgeous and I don't think I will ever sell it because it has a very special
place in my heart but again I kind of wish I got it in the neutral color like
Etoupe or black. In terms of shoes I've been loving this ankle boots from Acne
Studios so so much. I actually have two pairs so this one is in the suede leather
in the dark brown color and I also have the one in the dark navy color I love
them to bits they are so so well made and they look so fantastic on so the
heels are about four centimeter high so they give it enough heel support and
they are so comfortable to walk in and I also love the pointy toe design they
really do make the legs look more elongated, so they are perfect for me
because I don't the longest legs and yeah I've been
wearing them so much I am actually planning to add another pair in my
collection in the black textured leather but I'm hoping not to get them at full
price so I am looking up for a good sale on Boxing Day. So if you do follow me on
my Instagram you will know that I've been wearing this Roger Vivier flat shoes a
lot so this are in the gray patent leather. Now it does rain a lot in the
UK and I find that with the patent leather is actually quite easy to look
after because if it does get wet you just
wipe it down with a piece of tissue and it's good as new.
In fact I can't see a lot of wear and tear with this pair of shoes they are still
looking great and because this is in the neutral gray color they go with anything
so when I don't know what to wear, I usually prefer these shoes. They are true
to size and very very comfy so if I do go for a long day of shopping these are
the perfect shoes to go for. So my least worn pair of shoes has to be these Chanel
espadrilles so my are in the beige color with the black cap toe in this gorgeous
lambskin leather now they are very popular so I'm not going to talk too
much about them but they look fantastic arm they are true to size and very comfy
I don't reach for them a lot because some people say that if you get water on
these shoes they are written off. I know it sounds a bit silly because they are
shoes so they are supposed to be warm but I'm always a bit paranoid because
they are quite expensive so I'm hoping to keep them in a good condition for as
long as I can so I usually only wear them in the summer when the weather is
good and I always double check to make sure that it will not rain and I mean if
you asked me I would say I do recommend them because they are beautiful and they
look really good but I'm not sure if they are designed for everyday use
In terms of clothing I've been wearing this Burberry trench coat a lot so I've had
this for a number of years now and it's still going strong
I wear this even in the spring and summertime because it looks fantastic
when you have a t-shirt and pair of skinny jeans on and in the colder months
like in the winter I will pair with like a thicker jumper it's quite lightweight
but it does keep your very warm and I think this design is just classic and
timeless and it will never go out of style so this is a piece that will
really stand the test of time I think a good quality trench coat is a good piece
to have especially if you're building this up a capsule wardrobe and it goes
with a lot of outfit you can wear all year round and it can easy to transition
you from day to night so my least one piece of clothing is also from Burberry
so this is a caught in the camel color it's double breasted and the back looks
like that I've got this coat in an outlet store in
Cheshire Oaks, so with Burberry they usually have the
outlet collection so these are pieces that you cannot find in the normal store
and I think this coat is one of them I would say still well made, it looks good
but I just never really reach for it because I think it looks a bit too
serious and a bit too formal and I usually prefer very casual outfit. I
really think outlet shopping can be a bit dangerous sometimes especially when
you start buying things just because you think you are making a saving so
right now I don't go to any outlet stores anymore,
not very often anyway just because I don't want to make any impulse purchases
so when I buy anything luxury I tried to have a wish list and I try to stick
to that list. So that's my video about the most and least news luxury items in
my collection I hope you find this video helpful especially if you are
considering to buy any of these items that I've mentioned I want to thank you
so much for watching do consider subscribing and have a good day.
