    This is how luxury designer brands manipulate you into buying over-priced, over-rated luxury items. Let's break the toxic cycle and discover our true personal style without the designer labels. Let's empower each other to be better than the labels we wear on our bodies xx

      Its very understandable that family life shifts priorities. But not everyone are interested in brands because of the perception of others. There are some objects that simply is not produced elsewhere for cheaper in legal manners. Some people rather have a beautiful bags than jewelry.

    The snippet of the girl crying because she bought herself a birkin was…..sad. It’s ad because there’s so much to life than material possessions, and there’s more to life than a handbag. When I bought my first Chanel, I was proud of myself too but I got over it after 5mins. It’s not that deep, truly especially it’s not worth crying from happiness. Tf.

      i think you missed the point of the video. discussing the toxic influence of social media, and the facade that is creating a mental health crisis in our society has nothing to do with me buying a Birkin that I could easily afford to buy and then deciding to sell it because it didn't suit my lifestyle...and yes, i think the mental health crisis is that deep and we need to discuss it.

En waarom draag je dan nog de Cartier love armband en de van Cleef? Dus hou alsjeblieft op!!! Het enige waar je gelijk in hebt: Is dat we worden opgelicht met de prijzen die ze vragen, voor de matige kwaliteit!!! Maar verder niet!!! Ik draag dingen die ik mooi vind en duurzaam zijn!! En dat is Chanel vintage ook, want het kan worden overgedragen op generaties. En sorry, dat ik dit zeg!! Maar sinds je van garderobe bent veranderd. Vind ik je style van kleding ook niet meer mooi. Maar goed, jij vind het prachtig. Dus volg ik niet meer, en ook niet wat je de laatste tijden uitkraamt op je video!!!

I understand style is very subjective and everyone should do what makes them happy, but please don't release your anger on others because you feel personally triggered for personal reasons. wishing you well.
