I love your pieces you created for Lilysilk! A true long term genuine partnership when a creator actually designs for the brand! Been loving the pieces I have from them but thank for always getting us the best codes. I really love you styling so please keep them coming! My best purchase this year was my LV cappucines BB and my worst was my Chanel earrings, the diamante fell off after a few wears 😭 Love these vides Mel you should do them every year! 😍

@seviregis7441 7 ай бұрын

You have such elegant taste, I love everything you buy and the way you put all the outfits together. Classic and timeless. Just one suggestion, and I mean this kindly..., I saw your cat in another video, what a beautiful kitty. Have you ever considered donating money to the cat rescues in Australia and elsewhere. These awesome people, the rescuers, struggle so much for every dollar to spay, neuter, feed, and tend to the medical needs of so many cats and dogs, all over the world. You seem like you’re in a position to help some of them out, the ones in the poorest areas with the highest burdens (Eastern Europe is one large area where I’ve seen so many struggling). I don’t know if you already do this, but the price of one bag could feed over 1000 animals for about 6 months in some of these communities. Thank you for giving some thought to this. God bless.

@idamantashi8529 7 ай бұрын

My favorite purchase this year is Chanel's classic black, medium-sized bag, which I find perfect in every aspect. Conversely, my least favorite is also from Chanel: the classic-colored slingback shoe. The back strap doesn't stay in place for me; it keeps slipping off, making them very uncomfortable. Although I love the design, I think I might have to sell them.

Hi Mel! Thank you for this video! It was so fun to watch. I purchased some Hermes Oran sandals in denim this year, thinking they’d be so easy to style but, like you, have had a lot of trouble finding outfits to wear them with 😢😢😢 I had a lot of best purchases this year, but would have to say my Birkin 30 in Gris Meyer as the best!!

@roxanatrandafir4623 9 ай бұрын

I have discovered you recently and i saw a lot of your vlogs and i like tou very much. To answear of one of your question asked a while back, yes,this trend with the names of the great brands in very big letters,is down right takky. And on the other hand,i don't understand why buying only two or three brands gives one status. There are so many bags out there with awesome quality of the leather and craftmanship wich none talks about,Polene being just one of them.. You can look so elegant without only big brands and tones of money spended on them..😢

Hey Ellen, yes it is. That’s why I was saying in the video that Melbourne weather has been crazy (even crazier than normal). Today is going to be warm but just a few days ago we had the heater on. It’s been a few days of cold weather then warmer then sometimes 4 seasons in a day! Always need a cardi or coat in my car lol 😂
