Living in Europe for close to 15 years gave deep appreciation of having fewer great core pieces and taking fabulous care of them.
That bag looks great for a weekender. Too big for everyday. Pretty!
Bags are cute, but for me I'd rather put $ into house and memories/vacay. Sell some purses and that backyard will get done the way you want so quickly lol
So true.
Quiet Luxury is what I gravitate toward and has been my style forever-it’s classic, subtle, and sophisticated. For someone who despises wearing and carrying logos but still loves quality pieces, QL is where it’s at! 👏
That’s awesome to hear.
"Quiet Luxury" or "Stealth Wealth" are not trends and the labels are deceiving. To me it is a lifestyle that is classic.
That’s so true!
I worked as a designer for a firm in Houston. When we used the term classic with under 45 year olds, they freak out. They think you are describing Grandma’s house. Quiet luxury feels better to them.
Agreed. Most of us have used this “quiet luxury” as a lifestyle and drawn to kindred spirits. I cannot see wearing head to toe logos lol. I hope Valentina goes with what works best but for me, I think the Row et al borrow designs and quality leather from brands like Coach circa 1990s. What goes around comes back around it seems. Grateful I can shop in my closet.
@sharonlain5830
That’s so interesting. I’m under 45 and dislike the quiet luxury label. Much prefer classic which transcends age, trends, and time.
@@channahnoyb4803 I totally agree with you. I’m in Houston so that might be a local thing with younger people. Terms come and go. It’s definitely about personal perception.
RE: Margot 10 and 17, while I like the color and pebble leather, I don't like its function, I require a zip/protective closure to all my bags and will not use an open top regardless of brand.
Yes, open top makes it a pain and impractical. It becomes a tote bag and not safe if you're setting it down somewhere
@@marciamakoviecki3295 👍👍👍😻
The Row’s bag is the equivalent of basics killing each other over that limited edition Target Stanley tumbler 🤣
The Row bag is pretty, but the Prada is sooo fabolous and the colour is fantastic!❤
I LOVE zaalouk! I prepare it similarly except I roast the tomatoes along with the eggplant to really give it the delicious smokey flavor. YUM! I do advice you to place the eggplant skin side up when roasting. Then I pretty much do the same as you in the pan after scooping the flesh of the eggplant and mashing it - sautee it all in the pan. I use a good quality Spanish smokey paprika to keep that smokey flavor with the veggies. OH boy I will have to make some tonight - love it!!!! :) xoxo
In Europe for 10 years !!! So lucky!! Classic is timeless! 👏👏
Totally agree!
That Margaux 17 bag is drop dead gorgeous!!!!! Absolutely in love with it!!
I like the 10, but to me, no bag is worth what those cost. As much as I can appreciate its beauty, I can't handle the price. That just wouldn't be how I'd spend my money, unless I had an endless amount. Then, who knows?
Yes. TJ Maxx is a good place to buy designer bags for less, and to compare them to less expensive bags. I often prefer the functional features on the less expensive bags.
Question for Valentina - where did you get the bowl set you are using to serve your eggplant dish in this video?
I agree. I have a collection of designer bags that I purchased when I was younger that I seldom use any more. The luxury goods prices have increased so dramatically since 2020 it’s just ridiculous. There are brands like Demellier, Polene, Aspinal & Strathbury that are just as well made and don’t cost a fortune. I’d rather than have $5k in the bank than dangling on my arm. But, that’s just me. Everyone is free to spend their money however they wish.
@@murielbaith5445 aww TJ Maxx. I'm outside the US and miss that place!!!
Hi!! I love when you’re showing Recipes! 😊
I love the dark taupe color but it is too large for my taste. I vote for the smaller purse!! I guess it depends on your life style and how much stuff you need to carry around!!
Cool! 😃 I would love to see more of your home, maybe when you style it or how fun would it be to see a decluttering video! It’s always so nice to see the process. Thanks for great content! 🤗
Hi V, I can't stand the term 'quiet luxury', it's literally just a fancy pants term for classic 😁. The '17' bag you showed I would use as a weekend overnight bag or to put my bowling balls in 😂😂. Your hair looks beautiful, the curls are so cute x
I disagree. To me quite luxury differs from classic. Quite luxury can be classic, but has improved quality over just a classic item.
T shirt? Classic! T shirt with organic cotton, made in the USA, and high quality seams? Quite luxury.
Also, things that are very gilded and flashy can be classic within their context. Gilded lavish items are not quiet despite being classic within their own motif.
I hope this helps see why people have started to articulate things as quite luxury!
Your deck is amazing I love all the plants and trees
I take as carryon but bring dust bag to place under the seat … this goes for my Goyard GM or keep all 45, all I take as my personal item and place Under seat inside a dust bag that I use as as I get to my seat
Thanks for the tip of using a dust cover on my good bags
Sophia Richie is Quiet Luxury! Beautifully done!
I'm with the I don't get it group, that bag is luggage. Might be a great carry on. But not for going shopping. That would hurt my back schlepping that around. Also I need my hands free.
It doesn’t appear to have any closures, so it wouldn’t work for me as a carry on bag as the contents wouldn’t be securely contained.
@@elinkay4661 good point. I didn't notice that.
Love your enthusiasm and love for the finer things!
I love that you use olive oil like me, about half a bottle a day! 🙃🤩
Love the cooking segments!
Glad you like them!
I love the Coach bag ❤
It’s so good isn’t it?
Living in Europe for nearly 32 years, I don’t own more than a handful of designer items. I always say you can only wear one outfit at a time, one perfume at a time… I guess my focus is more of good skin care, whole foods, a sustainable low maintenance garden now (wasn’t always the case!😝) and vacations… that’s just my personal preference. I love your videos- it’s fun to live vicariously thru your purchases!
Your outdoor deck is beautiful.
Such a great recipe! I love it here recipes you’ve been doing. Thanks so much
Love the plant tour!
You look absolutely amazing!! Love these videos
I really love the smaller bag is gorgeous
I am Greek too. My YiaYia made Moussaka often. My YiaYia has friends who used Potatoes sliced instead of Eggplant when they made Moussaka.
Hi, Valentina we Call it caviar d aubergine also .it's delicious
You brought your mug back ! ☕️
The Row bag will never replace the Birkin!
Gorgeous handbag. Love the color❤ I'm looking for it now 😊
Hello Valentina! Love your hair with the curls!!!! Adds a bounce to your step. I go to Drybar once a week and love getting my hair done similarly - and it does last a good 4 days. The other days, I do my best with the Dyson airwrap - which by the way I really really recommend if you haven't tried it. I also use it on the days I need to 'refresh' my professionally done hair the days following.
Love The Margaux and the color! To be honest, the bigger one looks a little too big next to your petite frame as an everyday errand bag - but the small one is just perfect!!!! I will be keeping an eye out for one myself too! I have been a fan of Loewe bags for a few years now and own a couple. To me, they also fall into that 'quiet luxury' category. I get compliments a lot when carrying the Loewe Heritage Bag, and now thinking and watching the bags you are showing us - it has a very similar style as the Margaux and the Prada! xoxo Cheers V ~ from Los Angeles! xoxo
The big bag is great, but wayyyy too big for everyday carry! Who wants to lug that around? Beautiful weekend bag though!
Totally agree!
Love the deck and pines. The dip looks so good and could be a pasta sauce. ❤
Cannot wait to try that recipe! Thank you! Really like your garlic press. What brand?
Love the beautiful bags love that first one just beautiful
Hi V! I love your hair! I am a purse girl so I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Valentina your hair is fabulous Keep doing you ❤
I would love a tour of your luxury makeup collection! I just started getting into Chanel makeup and I’m loving it. 😃
Absolutely adore the smaller bag!! Very elegant 🥰 Would love to know the other colors it comes in. The larger one seems too big for your for body type. The 15 might work?
Love your home decor.
I never cared for eggplant until I tried it roasted and mixed with other foods. Last weekend was baba ganoush. This weekend I'll try your zaalouk! It looks amazing. Have you tried the Ripple half and half? Great cream replacement in soups and chowders. Not crazy about large bags. Was always a Coach girl until they started going crazy with their logos.
Love it. All the purses 👜💼
Thank you! 🤗
I want a Louis Vuitton bag so bad, also LV are my initials. I’m still saving ❤
your hair looks fabulous! how did you do it?
Ok now I have to make your recipe it looks so good and I haven't eaten all Day
I can't wait to try it and make it for my daughter too
The Row bags colour is beautiful, and l agree Valentina, Chanel foundation is sensational. L also love Chanel handcream.It's definitely quiet luxury. 😊
Absolutely keep all the bags, Prada bags last forever. That pebble leather and stitching is fabulous. Colors are perfect, goes with everything. Love the recipe! I add 4 cloves of garlic to mine! 🤩
Hi favorite. I loved this video. There are so many gems in it. I have never tried eggplant, but if Valentina says it's good, it's good. I treated myself to Chanel makeup and perfume for Christmas. There's no turning back now.
I've been using Seint makeup. I'm loving it. Been using it for about9 months. I'm 47 and I think it looks great on mature skin. Love to see what you think of it. There's a bit of a learning curve but man has it been a space saver for me and get rid of crap I'm not using. Was the perfect makeup for my trip to Paris.
I love the color
Coach bags are my personal favorite ❤
Lovely garden.
I like the mini song bag and he color is nice. the other bags, for me, i just can't spend that much on a handbag. happy you have options. thanks. you seem so happy, love your videos.
I love this !
Wow you look amazing with long hair ❤ Hair care please 💫
Your hair looks gorgeous!
Oh thank you!
I do love Chanel. I have several of their blushes, but I really love Westman Atelier. I just purchased her eyeliner. I really love that as well. I love her blush, I struggle with her eyebrow product. I also just bought her new lipstick. So so beautiful on! And I also use her foundation. So I guess, I’m kind of a huge fan. I’ve tried it all.
Your hair was stunning today!
can't wait to make that recipe! I already tried your lemon soup and a chocolate desert 😋 mmmm...good!
Hope you like it!
@houseofvalentinaliving so...I always buy eggplants from Trader Joe's and they rott at the bottom of my fridge. This recipe is amazing!!!!!!!!❤❤❤ I loved it and my kids actually liked it too 😊 thank you!!! Now I know how to use up eggplants 🍆 🍆
Love the video! All of the Hourglass palettes are out of stock though, and I love them! 😢
Vinca minor is the name of the little creeper with purple flower . I have it n my garden, and it is so invasive , but pretty when in bloom.
Valentina, I had a large bag similar to the row bag in shape and also did not zip closed on top, but had magentic snaps. I was so disenchanted with the bag that I ended up giving it away. Here were the reasons why : I work in downtown LA and you can't carry around anything that doesn't close on top 2) It was very heavy 3) The bottom of it stuck out so much from my body that people would bump into me all the time because I was too "wide."😅
love the smaller one! Suits you so well! IThe other one seems too big for me, but beautiful nonetheless.
Yum. I need to try that.
It's so good!
I like the Prada bag better. Like the leather. Could never afford it, but.....I would pick that. Guess I should say, yes I can afford it, BUT...a few bills would suffer. Lol.
I've always wanted to ask, where did you get the two vases on the fireplace mantel? I love them.
We are having a charcuterie for dinner tonight, and I’m in the process of roasting the eggplant right this very minute! Can’t wait….it’s smelling really good!
I’m amazed you look great for your age! I used to work at a Chanel counter. We always used to have consultants that would help you pick colors if you wish to show you their color palettes. Ask them next time! I love the coach bag most but your call. I have noticed bigger bags are showing this spring. RH has the best furniture. I have a few pieces. Everyone picks them out and asks about the RH furniture pieces. So classic. Thanks for your new content. ❤
That songmont purse looks like the puzzle bag.
We Asian people make this dish and its name in India and Pakistan is , Baghray Bengun
That’s great! I didn’t realize this was made other places.
Yes, I was thinking the same seeing her make. Also called begun bharta.
I like the bases in the fireplace can you put the link pleeeeese?
the bag - The Margaux - I agree it looks stunning...but it doesn't have a closure that is easy to close for the bag's main opening. Nope! But she is lovely! Those inside pockets - I usually put my wallet in a zippered pocket, and my phone in a smaller one (so I know where it is!!!) By the way, I too have the Hourglass face palette - mine is for fair, but I used the "select your case' option, and mine has an owl it. I agree - the formula is amazing...the fair has 1 highlighter and a finishing powder.
Prada one for me ❤
I recently purchased the Coach for my everyday, workhorse kind of bag😊
It’s definitely an amazing bag!
I like the size 10.
Prada is the best for me !
Where is your speckled bowl that you had the dip in from?
Love Chanel (am a former makeup artist), but you should give Armani a try. Silky but goes on like butter!
Where do you get the big books like the ones on your coffee table?
Although I am very in to quiet luxury, I did not care for any of these bags. Liked the colors, but not the style.💐
❤ love
The Margo small bag is beautiful but there is no closure at the top. As I’ve gotten older I get more picky. And for 4-5k it should at least have a magnetic catch instead of a buckle which is a pain to do and undo.
I love the shape of yhe Coach bag. Allmof the bags are so cute. I love the size of the Coach bag.
I totally agree!
Hi may I ask were dud you get you gold o ring that sits on your index finger please...
Way too big for me. I would never use it
That bag is huge on you. It's very pretty though.
I love love love the Prada bag. The first bag is too big for someone as small and petite as you. But it is pretty.
Not sure if you mentioned it or not but can you please let me know where your living room white couch/sofa is from? Thanks!
Both are beautiful bags but keep the smaller one which is more in balance with your proportions
It’s a lovely bag no doubt about it.
You missed the logo on the side of the bag which is engraved .
Hey Valentina! Prada is stunning but from all the research I have done on resale sites and watching a lotttt of CZcams, Prada for some weird reason does not hold its value compared to a lot of designer brands. The Row is different, holds the value well. But if you love the Prada, go for it! Personally, my fave is the large Margot, it is absolutely unbelievable! The shape is so satisfying! Thanks for this beautiful video!
I loved the margaux until I kept seeing it everywhere on social media. It is nice and I can appreciate it. But I'm starting to really love vintage Louis Vuitton, which is the opposite of quiet luxury 😂
Valentina, where is the blazer from ?;My wife needs that !!
The restoration hardware chest looks like one at my grandmother's in a different finish.
Ot is beautiful but I feel it swallows you. Maybe if it was just a bit smaller
The bag is pretty, but I don't think I would ever blow $6000 on a purse, but if you got it and love it. I say go for it.
