I so agree. She is so honest, not at all snobby.

She started from the bottom. See that vid its great

I totally agree!xx

Yup! I wear a lot of affordable clothes but it’s all about quality and craftsmanship. In my 20s I splurged on Burberry trench coats, Max Mara wool coats, YSL Chanel Prada purses, etc. Guess what? I gained weight and could no longer fit into my designer clothes. And I got sick of 2 of my purses and I totally thought I was making smart choices (aka nothing too trendy but not necessarily a classic). The resale value wasn’t great for these items. Now I opt for cashmere from Uniqlo, Zara, H&M (when they have it online), J.crew, and Cos. And get my shoes from the designer section at Nordstrom Rack or The RealReal (if you don’t mind used shoes). And I focus on less expensive bags like Furla, Cuyana, APC, etc. I still have several designer items: Gucci wool scarf, LV silk scarf, Chanel purse (my 1st luxury item, I’ll never sell it), Ferragamo pumps, Cartier bracelet, etc. It’s nice to have a few luxury pieces, but my wallet appreciates me spending less but still getting nice things. And lately I’m trying to support smaller brands and indie designers. Edit to add: I never pay full price if I don’t have to. Cashmere sweaters are basically half off after the holidays. And some luxury brands appear on discount like Saks Off 5th, etc. I mean, Sophie is always talking about online discounts. :) And if you don’t mind vintage or secondhand, it’s definitely cheaper.

@@SL-lz9jr totally agree with you. Merino Wool sweaters and Cashmere yes they’re on sale like right now. I bought my husband some from Zara and GAP Merino Wool $17 and Cashmere $19. Coach handbags I swear on their quality even if you buy them from the outlet store. You can score a 100% leather handbag or wallet 70% off plus extra 15% off.

I couldn’t agree more with you

I'm glad someone notices the difference. I'm in fashion and that is the topic I explain to people the most. Helping them find their style is one of the first things.

When I was going out in the world everyday my personal style would change from day to day depending on where I was going and my mood. But I was not necessarily following trends

@@KarinaSwan yup 👍🏼

@@catnip4587 yes better to go with what you like

I feel the same way, love designer, but not really into huge logos plaster on the products, I would rather have something of outstanding quality and not "show". I think it looks more classic and upper class to keep the labels on the inside and let the product speaks for itself in looks, wearability, and durability.

Yes, Chloe bags, super recognisable but no logos Xx

I love Chloe right now I just got a Tess in dark brown leather and I’m looking for a gray one because it’s so versatile

@@breanna1720 sounds delicious 😋

I love Chloe but I personally find that the leather on their bags wear pretty horribly, also not always super functional for every occasion since a lot of their bags are small circular shapes

Comfort and craftsmanship is everything! Thank you for the tip.

I agree! And you can get a double-sided one, win-win!

I agree as well!

Right? But I truly wish that it’s not going to be the next Gucci-trend where everyone is running around with a fake version, making you look like you’ve a fake one too

But buy quality and craftsmanship as opposed to hype?

I was literally just thinking how lovely her Botox and filler looks in this video…

Feeling happy for you because you own something that truly last, how often would that happen?! Also, how do you take care of those heels?

Lol “from bad relationships “

@@AndariReksi with the right brands it can happen often...

@@AndariReksi I clean them after I use them (for one); make sure they don't get drenched (in the rain, in puddles) and not stored in humidity. There's also (depending on shoe type) protectant spray.

Hahaha...I am just imagining the “walking away from bad relationships part” in stylish designer heels! 🙌🏽🙌🏽😀

Too bad there are no such reversible bags 😅

@@Hdhbdjxbdbdbc Yes...there is:) I think YSL have one (KATE MEDIUM REVERSIBLE IN SUEDE AND SMOOTH LEATHER) ! :)

@@missligalife177 oh my! Your comments are treasures!) thanks 🙏🏻

@@Hdhbdjxbdbdbc Thank you...My pleasure! :)

Hi, This might help you. For everyday wear, what I did many years ago, was try things on in my wardrobe and if I felt super comfortable in the style or the color I put those clothes aside and tried to buy things from then on that ai felt super comfortable in. I don’t mean comfortable as in lounge wear. I mean that I didn’t feel any tension with. Then I looked at things, good things. 5hat I avoided wearing and I tried to decide what it was that I didn’t like. When I realized I didn’t like ornate things I stopped buying them. Lastly was my attention to color. I realized I do t like much color, I love black, beige, cream, white.......pale pastels in summer

I'm having a good clear-out too right now! Seems like an opportune time to do it! Hugs xx

Hi, I agree I have expensive designer items that I pair with non designer items. As long as the quality is good I don't mind if there is a designer label stuck on the clothing.

@maria daza I totally understand, I’ve been using my longchamp for the same reason. It’s super easy to just wipe off and sanitize💜

Ahh me too! I have clothes that I started clearing-out over Christmas; sort of "fast fashion" items that look a bit worn having been washed and used so much. Once I removed them from my wardrobe it was great to see what I really have to work with. Getting more wear out of my items now. Thank you so much for watching my friend, hugs!xx

I totally agree me too

Oh wow, this is the nicest feedback 🙏🏽 and actually, all feedback (positive and critical) is great as I find making the videos so fun, but I want them to be something you all enjoy too ☺️ Very much appreciate you and all of my other viewers being here, such a nice community! Hugs to you xx😘😘

Whoop my kind of girl! Hear, hear.

That is lovely feedback, thank you my friend! I think with this genre on YT it absolutely comes across as shallow..... and it kinda is 😂 But it can also be fun 😊 I’m just a regular person at the end of the day, I just like making videos, but I’m very down to Earth in real life, and I hope you all can come here and just feel chilled ☺️ Hugs to you xxx😘😘

I got shoes in Italy from a shoemaker and they were horrible. I paid a lot, wore maybe twice (painfully), and then maybe sold for like $20. I like designer shoes from now on. They have a pretty good resale value if they don’t work out. They usually do work out.

and gents

@ 🤣❤️

Thank you, I will tell Rebecca. xx

@@jillmartin8255 she should consider making more of these and selling online!

I’m SO glad that you like it here as a place to sort of chill out 🙏🏽🙌🏽😊 it’s exactly how I feel about it and I want everyone to be able to come here, and feel relaxed. Everyone in the comments are all so nice too, I’ve seen loads of my regulars helping others out with things they might be going through. Or even advice on ‘should I buy this item’, it’s so nice to see! Anyway, you have a great Sunday my friend xx😘😘

@@SophieShohetOfficial it definitely is a place to chill out indeed! Your videos are one of the only ones I just let play and don’t skip through anything, because I find the so relaxing and like how you get straight to the point 🥰 the community you have created on here is a real testament to you xx

So true!

Difference between fast fashion and designer right there!

Agreed

Which are your favourite shoe brands ?

@@SoAnesu Manolo Blanik, Chloe, Stella McCartney, Chi Mihara, Grenson and many more 👍

Try and go for brands that are under the radar focused more on quality and craftsmanship...

I absolutely agree with you this Is next on my wishlist for Chanel bag and I think the only one I wanna really buy next from Chanel lol 😂

I bought a trendy last year and put a twilly on it. It’s a lovely bag... looks classic but not as popular as the classic flap. It seems nearly everyone has the classic flap these days!

@@LadyNajaGirl trendy is of course prettier than classic flap

@@ZonnaLoves Agreed 💞

I agree, it was once my “someday dream bag” but with the constant price jumps I feel like they are passing the line from luxury into unnecessary...

Buy vintage and get it spa’d at Leather surgeons. Much cheaper

Agreed that makes two of us....

I am saving for one i do think it's a good investment when you treat it gentle. But everyone is different what i do is i actually try to safe double the money of the chanel bag so i always have a backup If you can't afford to save for a bag just don't do it. This pandemic proofs that bills are more important than saving for a bag 🤗🤗 staf safe everyone

Invest in a Hermès bag ! It’s better quality
