You should do a video where you “fix” some of these items! Take the strap and shoe to a cobbler, dye the dress, take the sunglasses to get widened. A little sustainability moment, because these pieces deserve ❤!

That's not bad custom service, or horrible - it's appalling! In fact, that attitude does not constitute any form of customer service - it's customer dis-service. Shame on the brand, I hope they go bankrupt and Allana, please think 10 times over before giving them any future coin.

We should definitely be holding luxury brands more accountable for their customer service! When you spend the equivalent of rent on a pair of shoes, that even at a third of their retail price would be a monstrous markup for the company, you expect the whole customer service experience to be equal to your investment.

@deborahcurtis1385 Жыл бұрын

They are already getting away with scam level prices, so why would they suddenly care if you hit a road bump somehow? We are honestly so indoctrinated to just consume the latest thing they are betting you lose concentration and will soon be distracted by another trend and another shiny thing. So they are behaving consistently, if badly and we are behaving inconsistently by suddenly expecting customer service. All our fault!

@mids_mids Жыл бұрын

That dress deserves a second life, dyed! The fit it's absolutely beautiful on you!

@chlomo2618 Жыл бұрын

Okay, you can never give Bottega Venetta any of your money ever again. That is such unacceptable customer service for an expensive item. Do try to get a strap (or two, to make sure they match) made somewhere else though, so the shoes actually get some wear. Definitely try to dye the linen dress. Since it's ruined anyway you've got nothing to lose. Check the fabric composition - since they say the body of the dress is 100% linen it should dye with normal fabric dye. I wouldn't use the kind you throw in the washing machine since the dress is dry clean only (although we know how that turned out 😫); do it by hand in the sink. Please make a video of the process! It'll be a fun experiment and the revenue from the video can help recover the cost of the dress 😅

@hernorthwind Жыл бұрын

love this video (as always) but I especially love the refreshing honesty and calling yourself out :D 🖤 I would love a "cheap surprises" counterpart. for example the Amazon sunglasses you wear all the time. just as suggestions and inspo that it doesn't always have to be designer to look chic.

Wear the suiting as separates. The blazer with some jeans the pants with a funky top. You're looking it as a suit, my advice is don't! You could also rock it as a suit for weddings instead of a dress, lean into tux vibes, give Dejan a run for his money. Dye the dress for sure, turn her into the best memory, OR sell it to someone who would love it. I never keep things in my closet tied to bad experience, who wants to look in their closet and feel badly? Love your fashUn content Lan! Sending you love from Smokey Alberta.!

Pair the suit with a bright color top. Always have it be bright. And, try it out with a satin crop top, a ruffle blouse, a satin cami top, or turtle neck. each of those should add either a nice silhouette or a feminine bright touch.

I’ve been on the hunt for an evening bag for ages, and I finally bought a Zadig & Voltaire Rock bag last week. It wasn’t too expensive, roughly 300 euros, but it’s still a sizeable chunk of change for my budget. It’s a good thing I bought it when I did, because 2 days later I saw your Dior club bag and fell in love. It’s EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for, and I would love it forever, but I really shouldn’t spend that kind of money on a bag! If I hadn’t already bought the ZV bag at literally 1/10th of the price, I probably would have talked myself into buying the Dior! 😂

Just perfect classy lady have it forever and gift it to my daughter bag. Love! Remember that black and white Portrait dress you had in Calgary? I swear, I just saw it at a luxury consignment shop here in South Surrey and I totally freaked out! So beautiful. I was so sad when you let that one go. Dying to know which outfits you kept for the bachelorette this week! Ahhhh! So exciting. The lack of care from BV about your shoe is upsetting. They are so bougie they don’t try. If this were a handmade local shoemaker they would absolutely help and put so much love and pride into their work. Luxury brands don’t care about their customers, they care that their customers wear they stuff and advertise for them. We are the commodity!

For those Bottega Venetta sandals, with the missing strap, instead of getting a matching strap made, I think you should just get soft leather laces/strips that can be tied in a contrasting color like tan, orange or black. It’s an easier fix that can make the shoes even better in the end.

@marypl4152 Жыл бұрын

I think dyeing the dress is a great idea, maybe a nice mid-tone brown or even chocolate brown? The cut is so pretty and looks so great on you.

Crazy thought, does Amazon sell sandal straps?? lol they seem to sell everything else. Loved this video update.

Do you feel powerful? Fashionable? Confident? Strong? Or do you feel uncomfortable, silly, awkward, etc.? See what this little experiment does foe you. :)

You can change the fit of the sunglasses yourself by heating the ends with a hairdryer and VERY carefully bending them how you like. A tiny bit at a time and repeat until they feel good. I’ve done it to some prescription glasses that were too tight and it worked great. You have to be very careful and patient though, so you don’t bend too much and snap them! On second thought, maybe just take them to a professional! 😂
