The second jeans have my vote as well. Cute outfits, have fun!

Vinted should sponsor you because you got me to go to their website. Unfortunately, I’m in United States so we don’t have as many great designers. But I’m going to continue to shop! ~Dana

Have you ever thought of having penpals?! Nothing to do with the video lollll it just crossed my mind I thought I would throw it out there.

Thanks so much for sharing about the Caudalie points system!

I agree with him on the jeans. They look way better on you. I hope.you had a blast at the concert

Im just five min:s in but I would wear the runners/boat shoes: and build my wardrobe around that; but Im sizty years old now and all to practical! How fun tho! Enjoy! 💖

i hope you enjoyed the concert! and amsterdam. I hope to go there one day too!

wow your hands so beautiful!!! how long your hands in centimeters?

Loved the garden and that beautiful new to you dress you wore. Buying the silk slips 2nd hand was brilliant! Who was the designer for the big leather bags?

Great video… I can totally understand your frustration with the restaurant… and i feel with you complaining to them and doing the video you take charge…I would say draw the line and let it go…and hopefully with the other negative things that happen. I get very happy positive vibes from you so don’t let anyone take that away! 😊stay well.

Hi, Love all the fun items, love the Lupo bags and the leather black one… wow.. great find! The slips are beautiful…so sweet to get the J charm first! Love to see more of these videos! Stay well

When I was in Paris in early 90's, all the cool girls wore silver rings on their middle fingers. I bought one, later had gold and silver rings made, and still wear them today. Very pretty!

❤hi Arielle, really enjoyed this video (enjoy all of your videos). I really appreciate shopping vintage as well & finding bargains. The quality is superior to most of what is made today imho & often more unique. I enjoy the treasure hunt, especially with jewelry & clothing! What is Vinted? Is it just available in France? 🇫🇷 Is it similar to Poshmark here? Happy Birthday 🎈🥳🌹🎂🥂 Hope you had a great week & look forward to more bargain & France videos. I dream of seeing Paris one day. God bless!💞🙏🏻

Loved this video. Ariel you look amazing, your hard work is paying off

What a beautiful vlog .Must be heaven for you both to get out of Paris into paradise.Loved the tortoise .I have 5 in Cornwall.❤

Pleasant vlog but just wish you would be more responsible with the scissors and knife ..So annoying.❤

Love the belt

I enjoyed your excitement and appreciation!

You are the most cheerful person to watch. I feel your excitement and joy each time you open a package! Your happiness always makes me smile. 😊

I'm glad that Shein was a mistake. I would be disappointed if you supported the brand, seems incongruous with "vinted" 😊

I am amazed at how inexpensive these items were being sold for. Do sellers not know what they have and its value? We have a few US places online that sell similar products but the prices? OMG. They are anything but inexpensive. You could never find a leather bag for what you paid. NEVER. And when something is vintage designer? OMG. It costs so much more than the original price. NOTHING goes down in value. I am totally envious of you being able to buy from VINTD. Even the insurance and shipping prices are low in comparison to what is charged in the US (It's often more expensive to have something insured and shipped than some smaller items and sometimes, it's as much as 50% or more of what you paid for an item.) Those bags are gorgeous. Beautiful design. They would go for hundreds of dollars second hand in the US. It also seems as if you picked very honest sellers because the condition of these items is like new. Congrats. You really scored bargains.

There is nothing better than finding quality items on a discount! Especially with items we should be investing in like clothing and accessories.

I could hear fine

Loved you sitting outside💛 Is it possible to see a little more of the garden🌿

Love this video💫

Happy Birthday. Beautiful dress.

not “cheap” inexpensive instead 🙂 i LOVE the clutch. i’m a small purse gal.

Robbie Bee and S.L. Fashions both have some dresses from the 80s in a similar style with the basque waist, if you're looking for more brands!

Very nice dresses🌺. The first one is top-fits you perfect. The second one is probably for a shorter person. The black and white is very flattering on you. Ps-the sequin one, should probably look exactly like it looks. The threads whould tear if it would be figure huging.

What is the name of the website where you get the vintage stuff so cheap?

04:22 dress is soooo pretty! Esp combined with red lipstick!

❤

I loved everything you purchased!

There are good and bad restaurants and people all over the world. Be your joyful self.

They need to change not you . There are so many male arseholes in Paris .Sorry you are so upset I know where you are coming from .I hope you feel better soon ❤

Arielle that was your fault re dessert lol

What was wrong with the expensive restaurant? We want to hear the list you sent to the manager :) (suspense)

I'm not sure where it fits in your restaurant rankings, but we LOVED La Rotunde restaurant (4 times!) in the 6th.

It's important to pick your battles, Arielle, and let the others go. Otherwise, you will feel angry, victimized and not much fun to be around. It's worth remembering that none of these shortcomings are personal, to you, rather they are systemic and affect everyone who uses the service

RE: Reviewing restaurants. There's a couple of things you need to keep in mind. Restaurant experiences vary by the individuals and the different times they are at the restaurant. I would not immediately think that a restaurant has bribed the Michelin Guide (or any other) for a review. There's a reason some famous guides have legitimately earned their stars, good reviews (although as you know today, with AI and the like, tons of fake positive reviews out there for everything). And it's not via bribing. Let's take a personal example. We have good friends who are well-off and world travelers. Very knowledgeable about food and wine. Not snobs at all just folks who know a well made dish when they eat it. Several times they have recommended restaurants to us. In all but one night out, we had not so good experiences. As it turns out, there were reasons for this. In several cases, we happened to be dining when the main chef was not working and the fill-in staff just wasn't up to snuff THAT night. This happens more often than we can know. Our friends told us that when they recommend a restaurant, they have been to it at least three or four times before they recommend. Why? Because you can't judge a restaurant by a single dining experience (as restaurant critics will tell you, they go on more than one occasion and, also, and this is important, they have several people with them to order various dishes. ) I have dined with friends where they loved their food while I found mine lacking. Be careful about what you can and do promise in your booklets, Arielle. One nice meal does not ensure it will be great all the time. It's wise to preface what you post with the comment about what specifically you ordered that you liked, disliked; was well prepared and was not. And that it was ONE TIME. It's lovely that you want your readers to have the best experience, but unless you are both the manager and the chef at a restaurant, you cannot guarantee that. Do not set high expectations that may not be matched. SHARE what you know. Over the years, the major newspaper in our city (probably one of the top 3 in the US) has had some truly interesting comments when it runs restaurant reviews. Some folks vehemently protest a good review while others protest the bad reviews that a restaurant has gotten. The numbers of positive reviews used to mean something, but today, when anybody can post anything, not so much. It's like doctors. I twice went to two 5-star rated doctors. HORRIBLE experiences. HORRIBLE to the point of sending letters to the practice or hospital that employed them. So, you know don't promise what you can't deliver. Share what your experience was, but keep it in context. Even the best places have off nights.

This was a very interesting vlog given the contents. I think the issue with Paris, or any other big city, is finding the balance between what works and what doesn't. I live in NYC (for many, many years and happily). Family and friends have said on occasion how they can't understand how I can live here with all its issues. But the reality is, so much does work for me. Anywhere you live will have problems big and small (and make no mistake, it's the small issues, and the accumulation of small issues, that can drive you batty far more than the big stuff), so it's a trade-off. And it's OK to be honest about what doesn't work in Paris. That's important because people are listening to you to get advice, to learn, and they need to hear what doesn't work as well as what does. So don't feel it's being negative to share what shows up (although we have our own delivery issues here, too long to explain, that drive me batty, they pale in comparison to Paris). I don't know if you have the option of paying to have packages delivered to either a post office box or a service that holds the packages for you. A lot of people here do this because people either don't really deliver or they leave and a package is stolen. FYI: I will tell you honestly, I am not a fan of Paris. But I'm not sure it's any worse than many other cities in Europe. (I'm an Italophile but OMG, Italy can be so challenging in terms of getting stuff done, etc.)

It's unsurprising how some people act in competitions of any kind; I mean OMG. How old was this guy who you scored while he was defending. Is he an adult? Come on. He has bigger issues than your ability to shoot and score. FORGET IT! I love, love and love that you love to dance while saying that it's not necessarily something you are good at. But you enjoy it! YES YES YES. Do it. Forget about how well you do it. Dance to just enjoy. It's not a performance. I love your enthusiasm in general for everything (including your very very excellent series on weight loss where your most recent post showed that you, unlike others, have really understood the nature of being healthier and not just losing weight for appearances alone. Your discussion of how you have stopped craving sugar is a testament to how the healthy changes you made have proven very effective.) Few people are as honest as you have been in sharing this journey and I am sure you have inspired many people with your choices on the journey (although I am never going to love oats, no matter what you do to them! Ha ha). Don't let people get to you Arielle. There will always be those who are mean, nasty, and the like. It's about them, not you. Keep your open heart and spirit.

Dance takes practice, a consistent partner so you can learn how they lead and anticipate movements

I love email. I can save it. Easy to refer back to , etc etc.

Anywhere outside of the the United States or Canada you will never get the level of customer service (especially outside of the United States), or customer respect. No one does customer service like North America, no one. If you are from North America, no matter how long you live somewhere else, you can never get over the lack of customer service/respect that you get here. There are many things that are great in Europe and other countries but North America is the absolute King of customer service so it will always be disappointing elsewhere because we are used to it, this is our reference and expectation. You are not wrong to expect or want the same, it just won't happen anywhere else as a "standard". I know, I have lived in many different countries.

I wonder if the contract would have limited what you were able to say or required you to do a video and not be honest. Saw a video where a guy on a bike actually kicked another biker as he passed him in Paris. You should try Le Jardin St. Germain. I've heard good things.

Hi from Ontario Canada. I found your weight loss journey vids and love them. I was down to 167 lbs. in Feb when I suffered a stroke and went into hospital. They discovered undiagnosed heart and thyroid issues caused my stroke and put me on lots of meds. I have put on close to 50 lbs. of fat and water and it hasn't stopped. I was just about to finally buy my first summer dresses this year as I felt I was okay looking now. Well that's on hold as I'm often up at least one pound and sometimes 5 pounds a day! I know, crazy. I am watching all of your videos now as you are so positive and full of life and hopefully when this weight gain finally stops, they tell me it could be several more months of this, I can follow along with your advice and try to lose it again. Stay happy as you never know when life will suddenly do a 180. LOL

I use to be a dance teacher for latin and ballroom dance, and they call that the Jive.

The "rock" dance looks a lot like rockabilly.

You live where we vacation. :) I know it’s hard to shake off some things sometimes!
