10 Best Purchases of 2023

[@alexandrag3589]

I love the classic, timeless, understated elegance of all these items! Thanks for sharing!

[@juliequick5526]

I found a state of balance last year. It sounds twee, but really made a difference. Thoughtful spending on high quality and funds invested for the future! Your input is very valuable in supporting my aims! Thank you xxx

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Love this!! It’s all about balance!! We can enjoy what we already have and really be thoughtful about when and what we add.

[@ms.schnapp7415]

Fun video! I've become so much more focused on quality vs. quantity. My best purchase of the year was a coat from Woolrich. Super comfy, warm, easy to wash, and looks put together. Other best purchases are from Sezane, Doen, Prairie Underground, and Public Myth.

[@sheilaamundson2510]

Great products! Wondering about the sizing of the Sezane shirts..? Does this one run larger, smaller or true to size?

[@Pinkpoetry14]

Glad I found your channel! So many great new companies I’ve never heard of. I love quality products 🥰 thank you for sharing.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

You are so welcome!

[@Jnebuggy]

Love all your favorites! Thanks especially for getting me on the Uniqlo moon bag! It packs so much and is so cute. I believe the Sezane Tomboy shirt is a brand original/classic especially in the white and blue, so no need to worry about them getting rid of it! Love it too! My best purchase in 2023 was a The Curated wool/cashmere coat!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’ve been wanting to try The Curated!!

[@NaomiJones-pc3bz]

Really enjoyed your top 10 purchases video! The Ceson white button-up shirt is such a practical gem - finally, a non-see-through option! And the Uniqlo nylon crossbody bag sounds like an everyday essential. It's great to see a mix of style and practicality in your picks. Can't wait to try some of these out. Keep up the great content!

[@marig9236]

I have a uniqlo bag too but in off white. and I love it. I use it everyday because I go out with my dog a lot. So I use it mostly for outdoors.

[@revkand]

Totally agree with uniqlo nylon bag. I have it in a lovely olive green. I was never a fan of bum bags or belt bags and refuse to have it anyway near me. Thot this was similiar. But oh my oh my once I tried it on it was just love at first sight. Now it's my gym bag, I can stuff it everything I need to be on the go and just carry my water bottle separately❤❤❤❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Right?? It’s such a good, carefree bag! Cannot be under estimated! Glad you are enjoying yours too!

[@brgreens]

The Neiwai bras are amazing and I adore Sezane! I need to try one of the Tomboy or Max shorts in a sold color. I keep going for the Chlo with pretty lacy trim.

[@julieong5605]

Blessed 2024 Hanna!🎉 I tried the neiwai bras and tees…super comfy. The brand is a direct translation from the Chinese word “inside out”, Pronounced as “neigh why”. I have the Uniqlo bags in 3 colors…love them. Like the Suzanne shirts but I prefer mine without pockets. Always enjoy your videos. Have a great vacation.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh cool. Thanks for sharing the meaning of the Newai brand!!

[@clt2744]

内外 is how it's written in Chinese. It means Inside and Out when translated into English. When I heard u pronouncing it as 'New Way', I was totally confused 🤔

[@alicilera]

Hi! ❤ could i check how long u had your hermes enchainee ring? Did you need to size up? Is it comfortable and how do you maintain it? Thanks🎉

[@blake1001x]

Agree with the button-down white shirt. It's really difficult to find a very good one.. it's refreshing to know that your best purchases are quite affordable and functional esp undies and hair brush and not all luxury.

[@goldieff]

I always called them button down shirts as well. I’m glad I’m not the only one I was laughing when she said the button up shirt.

[@StephanieWickert-on3oy]

Would love to travel to NY never been there. I absolutely love a plain white button up always can be dressed up or dressed down!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

New York is calling you!!!! 😉

[@LKFR]

Kind of off topic but may I ask what watch are you wearing? Love them so much! And great video of course! ❤

[@joannathesinger770]

I love everything I've gotten from DUYP, including your collab pieces. I got some for my daughter and granddaughter and they loved them as well! (I think I mentioned that I was thinking about the purple or pink for my granddaughter since she's 11...but I went with the camel all the way around (tote, key pouch, pochette assessoire, mini-pochette...but the camel M case was not available so I got other colors...and got my granddaughter a black mini-pochette, as well). We also had a "fragrance Christmas", and that was a hit, too!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aww so happy to hear this!! 💕

[@dinorawruh]

For me, the Uniqlo bag is also on my list. Bought it on vacation and used it a lot afterwards. So much that I had to get it in beige to match with my black outfits

[@maggie2598]

Came back from a vacation from Japan for 3 weeks and loved it. Going back in may but to South Korea as well! I bought a bunch of Japanese skin care and there is an overwhelming amount of Korean skin care trending. Would you be able to suggest (or even make a video) on products you enjoy?

[@onegreenvoice]

Happy New Year! How is sizing with the Sezane blouse please? What size are you normally and what size did you buy in these? If willing to share your chest measurement that would help. If not, no worries. Thank you!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Sure, I got a European size 34 while in Paris which is equivalent to a US size 2. I normally wear XS or S as I’m small chested (34A). Hope that helps!!

[@onegreenvoice]

@@hellocatwalkcity Helps very much. Thank you!

[@huongthai1056]

Thanks for sharing your favorite purchase of 2023. I really like the CROSSBODY CONVERSION KIT FOR LONGCHAMP LE PLIAGE POUCH. Do you have any recommendation on dress up your purse for the YSL clutch/pouch? There are so many chains out there but I haven’t found one that looks nice for the YSL clutch. Any recommendation is greatly appreciated!

[@IceCream-hp7mm]

Oh those Neiwai look similar to the ones from True & Co or Sensa I own, both amazing. I will give your recommendation a try, they look really similar.

[@sweetcompanyof479]

New to you channel, great content. Would you be able to share the link to your link rings on your right hand? TY :)

[@orandjad5868]

Oh wow love all of your favorites! Thank you for sharing them. Im considering buying the neiwai undies and bras. The care instructions suggest handwashing is better. Could you share if you find it ok to machine wash them please? Thank you

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Call me a rebel, but I throw them all in the machine 😂 and they’re holding up just fine.

[@emmie928]

Got the spaghetti strap bras based on your recommendation. So so comfy. Definitely will be wearing it often ❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yay!!

[@bsk6707]

Cuyana tote! Love love love mine. Feels so good when I carry it.

[@AMarie_USA]

*Radley London* - Hillgate Place medium satchel. I wanted a quality leather black bag for fall/Winter and this was excellent. Great quality, normally around $300 but I got it on sale for $190.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Love a good sale!!

[@melodiejptony5206]

Thank you again hanna ❤️ i did buy the uniqlo bag to everyone around me and they love it. I use too a lot the m cases for anything, like even at home organizing my daughter hair accessories, my pens, and so much more, and now i want the bras they look so comfy will definitely purchase them. ❤❤❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aw absolutely Melodie! We want beautiful, well-made pieces that are practical, comfortable and easy, right? The Uniqlo bag, the M cases, the bras - they all are so good! 😉

[@anafeller4069]

I"m late to the game. The Uniqlo bag is sold out.😭

[@lee-ridgeway]

Oh my goodness! I have everything you showed until the Revlon hairdryer! I agree with you on those 4. Sezane, good quality effortless shirt for 3 seasons except summer. I have changed all my bras to Neiwai now. Uniqlo bag is very comfortable on the body. And the Revlon hairdryer is the only thing I use. Mine has detachable head and handle so it is easy to pack. Thanks for sharing! I have been eyeing Cuyana totes.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh my gosh - we have such similar tastes!! 😊

[@Beautyholic62]

Oh I am so glad to see Atomy sun block in the video 😊Atomy is very famous brand for baby’s products. I highly recommend other products from that brand too 😊

[@telyfannygomed2832]

I love everything you've got❤

[@smilerainandshine]

I'm not based in US so not sure barely zero ships to Aus but I just bought similar bras from Calvin Klein, can't wait for some comfy bras for 2024. Will be purchasing the Uniqlo bag in ivory this year too!

[@bingxinshao3964]

Which hair salon do you go to? Looks nice!

[@abbycatherine8135]

I really enjoyed this video! I own two pairs of the Everlane sandals and the Uniqlo bag and I'm excited to look into some of your other items ❤ I have been researching blow dryer brushes lately and was considering trying the Revlon, so very helpful. Something I bought last year that I love (and is helping me on my journey back to full health) is the HigherDose sauna blanket. It's like a sleeping bag infrared sauna for use at home. Especially wonderful on cold days/nights.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Off to research sauna blankets now! 😂

[@abbycatherine8135]

@@hellocatwalkcity 😂 Please do try it! I'm not sure if there is another brand, but this one was recommended to me by my integrative doctor, who is very cutting edge, and she uses it herself! Lots of health benefits 🧘‍♀🔥

[@cjannellimd]

The silver ring you are wearing in this video. What is the brand & where could I get one. I love it. Thank you

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It’s from Hermes.

[@smilesallround]

Great video 🙌🏿 will defo look into those bras, they look so comfortable!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

They’re superrr comfy!

[@sarahmathew9634]

Got the Newai bras on your recc and loving them so I just went for the Sezane shirt. I love everything I’ve gotten from Sezane in the past so have high hopes for the shirt!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yay!!

[@theduchessofmearns]

Is the Cuyana tote the classic or small size ?

[@JR-wq4ij]

Did you find the white and blue cotton shirts to be true to size? Thank you for your favorites video!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes! True to size

[@HandbagFoodie]

Thank you so much for sharing your top items this year! I will have to check out that sunscreen! Mine were probably my Hermes gold/black belt (so versatile!) or my polene numero un nano (probably my most complimented bag this year!). Enjoy your vacation! 🫶🏼

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ooh thanks for sharing your top purchases! And thank you~~ enjoying lots of sunshine on vaca at the moment! ☀️

[@lorrainebertetto2279]

Very good suggestions.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Glad you think so!

[@BluebreezeRose]

Your first 3 featured I have the same ones and love as well! The Uniqlo moon bag I purchased after your recommendation, and I love it for my everyday bag. ☺️ So perfect when I’m out with my 2 little ones. I enjoy it much more than the popular Lululemon one. I fell in love with Sezane when I tried their Tomboy several years ago when one of my old Jcrew ones was beginning to show a lot of wear. ( I loved it to death and I still do so I try not to wear it too often. Current Jcrew’s quality is not the same. 😕) Sezane’s Max Shirt uses same white and blue fabrics, but it’s in a loose oversized fit. Like a husband/ boyfriend shirt style. I’m living in this fit a lot too.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the Uniqlo bag and your Sezane tomboy shirts too!! I’ve been eyeing the oversized Sezane shirt … great minds think alike? 😂

[@BluebreezeRose]

@@hellocatwalkcity haha yes! 😉 I liked the Tomboy a lot while I was working, but now that I’m stay at home mom the Max shirts are my go to for causal comfy.

[@GulPaAndMa]

Hii can you do some affordable everyday bags

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes. I have a video planned coming in a few weeks!

[@s.fernandes7560]

My favourite is the Toteme T-lock pouch with a crossbody strap. It is roomy and very very lightweight

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh so pretty! I’ve been eyeing the Toteme pouch from afar. So glad to hear you’re enjoying yours!

[@Meyo1419]

Could you do most used and least used bag content?❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ok will do soon!!

[@karenhutchens7557]

I love the M case. great for lipsticks, mirror etc.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Agree!!

[@melishamcalister1570]

I love these types of videos! Definitely checking into Sezane shirts and the spf! Thank you for sharing! One of our best purchases involves inclusion into the luxury home insurance category. If that sounds odd, I understand! But we have felt so alone, in the world of home insurance. For years, I felt unsettled knowing we did not have enough coverage to replace and rebuild our existing home in case of fire etc.. Long story but our insurance company was rather indifferent. Now we can rest easy knowing our home and contents are properly protected. Our 2nd best purchase/investment was committing to a 2 week stay in an ocean front home for a family vacation. Shared experiences always top my list of favorite gifts. If I were narrowing it to a single purchase that I could unwrap, I'd have to add the Finesse Pendanat necklace from Hermes. It was somewhat of an impulse purchases, but it has been my go to necklace of 2023. 💕

[@hellocatwalkcity]

So glad you enjoyed the video!! I only included material purchases here but if I were to branch out to non-material, I’d say traveling with my family and investing for our future have been the best “purchases” so I get what you’re saying!! ❤️

[@kkdesu849]

After watching your video I need to get the Revlon brush, I wonder if there’s a significant difference with 2.0 versions? I also got the Tiffany blue M case after missing out on the mini pochette in the same color, but it makes me happy every time I use it because it’s so soft and pretty😊

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’m not sure about the 2.0 difference. 🤔 So glad you’re enjoying your tiffany blue M case! I have mine with me right now on my travels! 😊

[@alicesimpkins]

Hi! Love your video. Was your Cuyana bag the caramel or cappuccino color?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Cappuccino

[@alicesimpkins]

@@hellocatwalkcity thank you so much!

[@melloe]

How would you describe the fit/sizing of the sezane shirt? They look gorgeous but I might wait to visit NYC to try on in person

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’d say they’re true to size. It’s a tailored fit; not oversized.

[@rosaliaday7218]

I have a very similar bad from Temu, it is awesome

[@AKBBags]

I have been reviewing Quince bags last year and I have loved them and affordable price! Tfs 😀

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thanks for sharing! I haven’t tried Quince.

[@holakrissy]

Have you ever tried the Uniqlo bras with a similar thin material? Curious how they compare.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes, I didn’t quite like the fit of the Uniqlo bras.

[@conniie]

I'm still using the uniqlo sling bag because it's so easy and holds so much (thank you!!)

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aw yes, Barefoot Dreams is so cozy and soft!!

[@stephaniee.nicolee]

My best purchases has to be my vintage LV pochette and a black bomber jacket I purchased from Uniqlo. The jacket is a little over sized but still keeps me warm. I live in NJ right outside of NY so I mostly drive every where and just wanted an easy jacket to throw on.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Love Uniqlo jackets!!

New subscriber to your channel. Would love to know more about the silver ring on right hand please.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aw welcome and thank you for subscribing! The silver ring is from Hermes. It’s the chunky version of the Chain d ancre style and it’s often available on their website. I bought mine in the airport while traveling and if I recall it was about $600 usd. Hope that helps!

[@kdgeckoknits274]

Upon your recommendation, last spring I purchased the Everlane sandals in the pale pink and in black. They are super comfortable. Nothing pinches or digs into feet and toes. I have both a high arch and instep, so the flatness of these sandals, all flat sandals cannot be worn for any length of time. I love the Everlanes and wear them when I do not need to walk any distance. But they are fabulous. Thank you.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yay! So glad to hear you’re enjoying the sandals too!! The leather is so soft and supple!

[@yulietheresia4523]

Hi, I've been looking for a good sunblock that doesn't smell like sunblock as my nose will get irritated and I will sneeze a lot. Does this Atomy Absolute Essence Sun have sunblock smell? Do they also come in non-tinted? Thanks.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It has a slight fragrance but it’s not a typical sunblock scent. It smells more like moisturizer.

[@cecigmz]

I got the Uniqlo sling bag and DUYP M Case (HCC x DUYP COLLAB, of course). I am ordering the Cuyana tote. I will get the Longchamp le pliage pouch soon. 😊

The bras are so comfortable!!

[@kiwimike2330]

I just hoped one of your top 10 purchases was a video light, but unfortunately it wasn’t. Maybe 2024, I’d recommend an Aputure 60x and a matching mini softbox, then your videos would look so much better

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thanks - I choose not to use artificial lighting for my videos. When it’s sunny out, lighting is better but otherwise I just deal with it. I don’t like when artificial lighting alters the color of the items I’m featuring. I want it to be as true to color as possible - not washed out.

Spending $20,000 on a handbag vs spending $200 on a uzbagx bag and investing the remaining $19,800 is the obvious choice since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to increase in value yt
