Thank you. I'm trying to be more mindful with my purchases since I became quite a shopaholic during the pandemic. This helps a lot!
Same here. I feel like I’ve used shopping (especially online) as a way to combat boredom during the pandemic, which is a terrible habit.
Definitely can relate to this. Made my fair share of meh purchases and trying to streamline things now :) Thank you for watching x
Me too, I got totally carried away! There just seemed to be nothing else to look forward to for ages. I went on lockdown on February 1, 2020, and as just “released” on May 15, two weeks after my second COVID vaccine,
Yes I am as well. I also did way too much mindless shopping during the the lockdowns.
I think it's a great idea to review the clothes you bought before😄👍 It's useful because the reviews include the vivid experiences you've experienced in person😊
Thank you so much :) Agreed, as sometimes it's hard to tell the quality of something until it's been tried and tested.
That white and cornflower blue of the dress is my favorite colorway, especially for summer. I really appreciate you doing the post-haul analysis, we really have to live with new items for a couple of months to see how they work for us, especially the expensive ones.
I love everything about your style and your pearl necklace is gorgeous! Suits you so well.
i absolutely love the blue cropped cardigan! such a beautiful shade of blue! i always love cropped cardigans since all my bottoms are higher waisted. the cut is really flattering especially for dresses and skirts ☺️ thanks for revisiting your recent purchases! these kind of reviews are soooo helpful!
Thank you :) It was a surprise but definitely something I've discovered I'm in to. So happy you enjoy this type of video x
Thank you for sharing! It was such a great video 😍
Hello Helen! New subbie. Love how transparent you are when it comes to reviews and hauls. Super refreshing and you’ve empowered me to ensure items I buy are conscious purchases, that’s my style and are classic pieces. What is the colour of your celine belt bag?
Enjoyed this video!!❤️ would love to see a bag collection video! and a review of the ysl clutch and Celine belt bag ☺️
Great video!! The Celine belt bag has been on my wishlist for 2 years now so would LOVE to hear a review from you!
Thanks Amy :) Would love to share a review soon after testing it out for a bit :) x
Yes! Please review celine nano belt bag!!
Definitely :) Will share a review after I've worn it a bit longer. Thank you for watching x
The red lipstick with the black blouse looks fab on you.
Great video ❤️ I really liked that you are being retrospective about your purchases and sharing it honestly. This is what all of us should do frequently with our own purchases. Celine bag review will be very helpful 🙂
Thank you Harnish :) Definitely something I'll continue to do moving forward as well. Will look at doing a review soon, after testing the bag out for a little longer.
Great video Helen! I missed seeing you on Sunday but Wednesday works too! :)
Thank you so much :) Should be back to Sunday uploads x
I need that navy midi skirt! Thanks for this useful video :)
It's definitely a goodie :) Thank you lovely x
hi.. love ur video!
wondering what color of celine nano belt u have ? and does the color get dirty easily ? thxxx 🤗❤️❤️🤗
I don't know what you've been doing differently with your makeup lately, but it's really flattering.
Thanks Catherine :) Been doing a bit more experimenting in that area lately x
The trouser look super flattering 💕
Thank you so much :) x
Love this type of video! I agree with you, Maje quality went down hill since few of years ago, and I stopped purchasing from the brand.
Such a shame with their quality as the styles are so cute. I tend to shop them preloved and am very careful with purchasing from the brand now. Thank you for watching :) x
Does the strap of the Celine nano belt bag dig onto the shoulders when it gets heavy?
I bought that exact Celine bag because of you 🥺
can't get over the blue cardigan! ❤️
Thanks Nina :) x
Thank you for your wonderful video 💖
what is your criteria for midi? where should it hit to be most flattering for you personally?
The blue cardigan and matching top are on my shopping list for a while. I'm not sure, if they are itchy. I have a school uniform "trauma" too, so I never go for dark brown 😂
The blue knit has some viscose in it, so it doesn't feel scratchy (smaller wool percentage). The school uniform trauma is so real haha. Thank you for watching x
How is the nano belt bag holding up so far? Does the light suede inner lining get dirty easily?
Hi ! I'm interested in purchasing the Celine belt bag too. Have you had a problem about stains, color transfer or the threads getting dark on your Celine belt bag since it's a light color ?
Also, I heard it's a design from the previous creative director do you think this will be discontinued soon ?
The blue dress with nice sleves is stunning 💃👍
Thank you :) xx
Would love to see a review on the Celine bag! How easy is it to get into and out of? Unfortunately Make clothing is quite often of poor quality with pulling threads. They have very pretty clothes, but I have had to bin a few favourites after only a few months and have therefore stopped buying their clothes.
Happy to share a review of the bag soon. The flap can be a bit fussy, but I tend to use this bag as a crossbody which makes it more convenient than hand held/shoulder. Have to agree about Maje, the quality is just not in line with the price so tend to be very careful about purchasing from them. Thank you for watching x
Really good video - ty
Thank you so much :) xx
Yesss please do an in depth review of your celine belt bag!
I used to have the exact Celine bag and sold it already...very pretty, understated bag and the color is the perfect taupe..but I found the opening quite fussy. Also if you dont store it properly the bag structure near the flap will "sink".
Noted, will definitely store it well to try and prevent that. I find that it can be fussy esp as shoulder bag and hand held. But I do tend to use it as a crossbody which helps the closure and makes it easier to use. Thanks for the heads up :) x
I love that & other stories cream trouser but the link doesn't work :( are that all sold out? I love all your review and styling videos. So informative and helpful in making purchase.
Hi lovely :) It is still in stock, called the Relaxed Paperbag Waist Trouser. The link is working for me personally but otherwise you'll find it with that name :) This link should also work rstyle.me/+V3iDeQg6QCOM7Yfq9wfvmg Thank you for watching x
I don't think the item is available in some countries (I'm in the u.s.). I've seen the same error page for previous & other stories items linked in Helen's recent videos! sad, but Nantip maybe you can find a similar style at aritzia or via pinterest?
Love this! Could you link that cute black square neck sweater with pearl buttons at 9:34? Also, have you altered the length of your black grana silk slip dress? I'm so excited to buy it but they didn't have any measurements on the webiste :(
Will link it now, it is from Petite Studios. I've never altered the length of the black Grana silk dress but it is the older style (not the updated version) which is a bit longer than the updated version. Thank you for watching x
@@DailyHelenJ so helpful!! Thanks so much❤️
Great video Helen! :) Can I ask you about the Sezane James Jumper? We're the same size. I was just wondering if the XS is a good size for you, or would you recommend XXS?
The XS is a good size on me. The style of the sweater is quite bulky so it will look oversized. But the fit is comfortable and I don't think I would size down. Thank you for watching x
@@DailyHelenJ Ok good to know. Thanks a lot!
this is off-topic, but I love your hair in this video!! would you mind sharing what you use to curl it?
Happy to share, it is the ghd soft curl tong :) A really good styler that I've been using for about a year or so.
Please do an updated handbag collection review video!
Coming soon :) xx
Can you share your sandals as well? They are so gorgeous!
Hey Stephanie :) They are from Jonak Paris, unfortunately found them in a sale rack at Sydney Myer so no longer available. I believe they do similar options tho. Thank you for watching x
can I ask what size and colour was your Acne musubi? is it a mini? thanks :)
It is the mini size :) but holds a tonne and is actually more of a small-medium bag x
@@DailyHelenJ thanks! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Review the celine bag please 😍😘
Please review the belt bag :)
Definitely :) Will share a review after testing it out for a bit. Thank you for watching x
Best or worst for the APC geneve mini?
It sits somewhere in the middle. I love the style and it's holding up well. However the smooth leather is quite delicate (more so than others I've tried probably because the shape is very boxy and will get marks if it hits against anything. Would highly recommend it still. If you want to fit a large phone + essentials, I would recommend the regular size rather than the mini :)
@@DailyHelenJ Thanks for your response! That's really helpful :) The regular size is actually on sale right now ($360) and I'm debating hmmm.
The quality of that skirt is shocking!!! I'm so sorry that happened to you
Unfortunately their quality doesn't match up with the high price tag. But I'm glad I actually purchased it second hand on Vestiare rather than paying the full price tag. Thanks for watching xx
Keen to watch a review of the nano belt bag! Are you considering of selling the YSL Kate?
Definitely will look to do a review. Not looking to sell, still like it and wear it, but maybe just not as much of a favourite as others. It's a good dressy/formal bag. Thank you for watching :) x
the way you talk reminds me of blackpink Rose😊
Wow, the quality of that Maje skirt is super disappointing for such a pricey brand. It’s a very pretty piece but clearly not very well made.
Yes, unfortunately their quality just does not match the higher price tag. Thank you for watching :) x
