[@tereclemmer7923]

I agree with you again. We need to be more mindful of where we invest our fashion dollars as well as being original, not part of the uniform crew.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

“Not part of the uniform crew” 😆 well said

[@ladyinpink2654]

Uniform crew 😂that’s what it is! It’s all the same!

[@WyeChengChong-ql7lr]

Yay! Finally someone who is not influenced by trends and speaks with a whole lot of intelligence and common sense! I tried the Neverfull and didn't like how it looked on me. Don't like the Cartier love bracelet and having to use a silly screwdriver to open it either (reminds me of handcuffs).

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Handcuffs! 😱 😂 🙈

[@MadamoftheCatHouse]

A logo piece of luggage screams Steal Me!

[@virginiav.1172]

First time to your channel and I wanted to tell you what a great video this is. Usually I don't follow style channels because they often seem too "cookie cutter " to me with all the latest trends. Instead, like you, I like to follow my own fashion sense and that doesn't always follow the crowd. thanks for your originality and great tips.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment!

[@AsDicasdaFafa]

what a great comment and I see what you mean. I'm trying to go against that by showing how a woman can be stylish (and still on trend!) by shopping her closet, as style comes from within but it hasn't been easy. I guess trends sell... it was great to read such a lovely comment :) we need more love here on YT

[@eshaibraheem4218]

Very good: enjoyed this very much, and your voice is very soothing. Many thanks.

[@HappyHomeCrazyFarm]

I shocked myself when counting all the things from this list that I bought because of your recommendation 😊 It’s not because I’m easily influenced, but because I trust your recommendations and totally love the items, too.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

What a huge compliment, thank you for trusting me! ❤

[@frehiwotwubshet5356]

I love your style thanks.

[@kimandkats]

As common and popular as the Gucci belt and the Balmain blazer, original or inspired , they are seen and heard on social media from the influencers but they are still rarely seen on the daily basis. I agree with you. Just because something is trendy and classic that we have to own it. We should only buy what we love and what makes us happy.

[@janetebonanno]

I agree! As for me - I’m semi retired - I worked in the banking industry for 30 years and now do taxes. I’m very comfortable in a blazer - I wear blazers with jeans all the time.

[@stephaniebecerra7619]

Great observations as usual. I prefer to be fashionable rather than a slave to fashion. For me, being fashionable is being unique and finding the styles that suit my body type and my personality. I really love to wear unique vintage jewelry. Some of what I wear is real and a lot is costume, but it really makes my outfits complete. Honestly, the phrase “my stack” drives me nuts!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

The phrase annoys me too! 😂 I wonder who came up with it.

[@carolrebeccareiss8968]

Yes, "my stack" drives me nuts too!

[@cherpeters8775]

I had to back up the video to see if the woman at the airport was wearing a Cartier bracelet stack!! One reason I love your channel is that you're not a bag/label snob. You like what you like, from Hermes to Coach & you seem to show them all the same respect. I found your channel looking for Givenchy Mini Antigona reviews. I bought mine in black (only because I couldn't find your gorgeous caramel color) but it's a beautiful bag & I still love it. It seems to have fallen out of favor with some KZbinrs but.....oh well!!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh, you made me chuckle! 😂 And thank you for your kind words. I definitely like what I like, and I also enjoy celebrating what others like for themselves! 💕 So glad you’re enjoying your Givenchy Antigona!

[@kdgeckoknits274]

I'm with you on Balmain clothing/jackets. A year or so ago, I saw a Balmain dress that I LOVED. I sew a bit, so I usually check fabric content, seams, etc. of items of interest. The dress was crazy expensive, like $3000 or $3800, and the fabric: SYNTHETIC. The dress was polyester. No thanks. The bracelet stacks: everyone on social media sports those luxury brands stacked. It's over kill, already. Thanks for crossover sandal recommendation. They look super comfy.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Wow. At this point, we can’t assume that expensive designer equates to quality, unfortunately. Thanks for sharing!

[@melishamcalister1570]

Love this video! I tried the Balmain blazer, but because I have a strong shoulder line, it made me look (and feel) like a quarterback. I prefer the thinner Hermes belt because it is more comfortable and a friendlier option for those of us with weight fluctuation. The absence of a logo makes it easier to style with many items in my wardrobe. I love the Tumi tote and the Cole Haan sneakers are now my favorites too, thanks so much to you and this amazing channel!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yay! So glad you’re enjoying your Tumi tote and Cole Haan sneakers! 👏

[@irina_michelle_]

The custom bracelet your husband designed is fabulous and gorgeous! My friend tried on the Hermes flats and ended up not buying them since they were uncomfortable and had to size up. The new Chanel ballet flats I tried on in the store were also terrible, the leather was so stiff in the toes and the sole that it was impossible to walk.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you! I’ve tried the Chanel flats as well and cannot bear the discomfort. At least we know! 😉

[@helenhall299]

I find Chanel shoes are not good for my wide feet. The toe box seems too narrow. You can find some “inspired” types that are truly more comfortable..

[@gloglos100]

Yes the unnatural poin toes pulling big toe crooked across to the centre creates bunions. So many young women barely older than girls have bunions. I wear vivobarefoot for a sneaker so my toes sit correctly.

[@LyndaSyn]

“Would i wear them with socks? HECK NO!” Lollll🤣🤣🤣 gotta love the honesty! I share similar sentiments with most of these items. Also wanted to say thank you for a Father’s Day gift idea with the sneakers! ☺️

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Socks and sandals are just a no-no in my book! But hey, to each their own, right? 😂 And YAY to the Cole Haan sneakers for Fathers Day gift! My husband and dad love theirs!

[@missmegs37]

i 100% agree with you!! After seeing something everywhere, I get caught up and start asking myself if I need those items but then I quickly realize that I never liked them before and I'd rather have something more unique.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Right! It’s as if we become brainwashed after seeing something so often, but then if we remember what we actually like, we snap out of it. 😆

[@carolrebeccareiss8968]

And the marketing money behind the brands are laughing all the way to the bank. Free advertising!

[@adeledelarosa7819]

Thank you for speaking to the everyday woman. I could never afford the designer LABEL STUFF and I've always said "they have to pay me" to wear their STUFF....LOL

[@annaisapalindrome]

Great video as always Hanna. So funny you found that photo of the person wearing the Balmain blazer, Gucci belt, LV luggage & Hermes sandals! BTW, you partially inspired me on a recent trip to Europe. I went to several luxury stores just to window shop (always a lovely experience to see all the eye candy in person) but a local leather goods maker was really the one that caught my eye and I bought a really nice bag & I can always remember my 2023 trip with now!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I didn’t even mean to find that photo but it was the perfect example! That’s so great about your trip to Europe! So special finding a unique piece made locally! 👏

[@stevi6236]

I love the way you presented everything . You show you can be stylish & classy without spending a fortune❣️thank you for an excellent video♥️

[@heidii.4024]

I love the Hermes Pop H 15 belts. They are understated, classy, and well made. 😊

[@ALICIAMARTINEZ-wk1oz]

I got my only two Louis Vuitton bags as heirlooms or presents right after having my two kids. I got the Pochette Metis and the Montaigne. Absolutely beautiful because both have structure and functionality (I carry multiple things with me all the time and both bags are phenomenal). I know logos are no longer in, but whatever, they have sentimental value to me and they are like a master piece in my closet. I can’t stand any bag if it’s floppy. 😊

[@jbbb7418]

I have admired your custom hinged bangle since the first video that I watched. It is stunning. I agree 100% on the individuality of our jewelry, and the meaningful pieces, definitely.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Thank you so much!

[@edinacole6382]

Oh my God I am so happy you chose the Teva sandals. The other ones remind me of the “boot” you get when you have a broken foot!

[@michelebrotman5345]

I bought a Veronica Beard version of the Balmain blazer a couple months ago, but returned it because, like you, I ultimately decided it was impractical for the price($700). It was beautiful and very well made and had my preferred silver buttons rather than gold. I just couldn't justify the price and it was made of a poly blend and I would rather buy natural fabrics. I don't regret returning it

[@Hippy2021]

I got at least 5 jackets in different colors, navy, cream, burgundy, white and black, from Ralph Lauren on sale years years years ago. Still using them a lot often and received lots compliments everytime. I love the Ralph Lauren blazer cuts, always classic and classy. The gg belt still beautiful on jeans. And jewelry, my Tiffany bangles is my favorite. Daily bag is the alma mm to carry everything I need for the day. I wear whatever make me beautiful and stand out. We don't need to pay attention to what people think and say. Popular or not as long as they make me look good. It's about how you know to put them together and be creative.

[@lia9304]

I do agree!! Love your channel and takes!

[@maris5508]

I agree with you on some of the items that you mentioned. I actually own the same blazer from Zara in the same color as yours as well as a fuchsia color, which was on sale😊 I don't like spending a lot of money on ready to wear items, but I don't mind investing on the accessories if I know that I will get a lot of use out of them. I do own a couple of Cartier rings, but I feel the same way you do about the love bracelet.

[@judyb99]

I agree with you! Lots of great suggestions!👍

[@myoungpersonal9566]

❤ my Oran sandals and Cole Hahn sneakers! Wholeheartedly agree on everything else. Thank you.

Hello! I stumbled upon your video and I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your honest reviews about these “classics”. It was quite refreshing. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to your next video. Have a beautiful day 🌷☀️💕

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to leave me such a nice comment.

[@Unuthedoodle]

I agree with you all. I never liked a neverfull. I have a Longchamp leather tote bag for a fraction of the price. Its all leather, has zipper, affordable, and quality is on point. You made me buy lululemon belt bag and I love it.

[@caracloyd1]

You are so DARN refreshing and I just adore you! I echo all the comments above! Thank you and keep it up! I just adore you!

That woman with the LV luggage was a walking cliche, an expensive cliche.

[@Jeva_jockey]

Love your reviews, thank you! I totally agree that soo many pieces are over-played, you see them virtually everywhere, and the more you see them, the more you get this idea, like, maybe I need it, too?? But, luckily, if you think twice - no, you actually don‘t! There are so many great alternatives now! 😍

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Absolutely! We have so many options to choose from!! 😉

[@maryburton9308]

Great point view....I brought MK tote and took it back. Found one at Target that is high-quality water resistant and super price.

[@queenofdiamondsamy]

Love this video idea!!! Hermes Kelly belts are the best belts ever!! I have 2 of them. I did actually get the Gucci belt back in the day but the quality was so bad, I returned and bought a Hermes belt instead. Best decision I’ve ever made!! And I would never buy a LV neverfull, keepall or luggage either!

[@reginaokereke]

Yes more personalized and custom is always finer ❤

[@alyssabrown6480]

I love this. I just learn so much from you. How to use brand name stuff yet stay classy and not feel like a Beverly hillbilly dripping in brand names 😂😂😂. Saving money is just the cherry on top. Thank you very much.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

Great video! The Balmain blazer made me chuckle because I have a vintage Dior blazer that looks exactly like the Balmain blazer. I had a tailor replace the 80s shoulder pads with a more timeless pad, and people thought it was the Balmain blazer and not a Dior blazer from the 80s. For me, I like to focus on what suits my body shape and coloring, as well as things that I like. I do choose quality over quantity because I want to get the best cost per wear out of my things.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh funny!! I bet that Dior blazer is a gem. It’s always so nice when we find timeless pieces that feel good on our bodies. 👌

[@FashionFarfalla]

I agree, you shared some great alternatives. Definitely getting the cole hann sneaker. IMO, the jewelry stack of Cartier & vca is goals, but I get what you mean too, overdone, but still soo pretty

[@1queenruler]

That was too funny 😂 with the one gal wearing everything you mentioned! I have a pair of Chanel sneakers 👟 and I have to only wear them for a couple hours or else they hurt. Now my Prada I’ve had years and love ❤️ along with my white goose pair. 💕 👸

[@lamartin88]

Hi Hanna! 💯 agree with all your topic points. The Balmain blazer is a very nice blazer but it's sooo expensive for something that many other brands also do well for way less than the taxes you pay on the Balmain 😅. I,too, was tired of seeing the Cartier love bracelet and turned off by the closure so I opted for the Roberto Coin "love in verona bracelet"... It's beautiful and so easy to put on/off. I have a couple of pieces from him- they're all incredible and rare to see "in the wild" as you say lol. I agree with the LV travel luggage... It's soo not user friendly! My lovely sister gifted me the luggage set from Delsey for my wedding and, girl, I can't even tell you how many compliments I get on them! My husband is a Tumi guy (love my Tumi everyday tote) but agrees that the Delsey glide so easily. On the Oran topic, Sam Edelman and Tory Burch make great, comfy alternatives. As always, love your videos ❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yay! Love your alternatives! We have to choose what works for us, not simply follow the crowd! 😉 Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@addicted2lux]

I agree with you 100%. I cant bring myself to buy designer shoes cause because i cant imagine walking in them on the dirty street floor. A bum bag is just a fanny pack, thanks to your great review i got the lululemon one cause I never got into the designer ones either. Another great video. 👍🏼👍🏼

Agree with Love bangle- I have one from years ago but the screw is such a pain. I noticed that’s it’s everywhere now! I stack bracelets with my Cartier Santos but all are personal pieces. One designer I love and have several pieces is Monica Rich Kosan- her jewelry is diverse from chunky to dainty, lockets are amazing, and all have meaning for me.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I love when jewelry is unique and mixed up! I can see how the Love bracelet would look lovely paired with some personal pieces that look a bit different from the usual stack. 👌 Thanks for introducing me to Monica Rich Kosan. I’ll take a look.

Hello, thank you for your video. Would you recommend any comfortable white, flat summer sandals? Most important where to buy? Thank you ❤

[@mariac6759]

I agree with the Oran sandals. Not only uncomfortable but too noisy (click clack click clack when I walk). Another fail for me is the Rimowa carry on. Really smooth but too heavy to lift onto the overhead compartment. Agree on the jewelry, I prefer beautiful designs that are not too recognizable. Still loving the Tumi bag, thank you so much for your recommendation. I have been gifting it to family and friends and they love it!

I truly loved this video. It’s a nice spin on alternative videos. I think may do this on my channel if you don’t mind. I love Delsey luggage.

I have the same Zara blazer and I really like it! It is thick, so I won’t wear it again until fall. I was also thinking of swapping the buttons. One already fell off, so maybe the blazer wants new buttons, too! 😂

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I agree the material is on the thicker side but still quite light. It’s pretty nice for Zara. I guess you and I will both be getting new buttons soon! 😂

[@MsPort516]

For the Oran sandals- I had to size up half an a size and did not have the break in issue people described. The SA was telling me they would stretch and the snug fit was better and I’m glad I went up a half size. Also I wanted the gold (tan) color and did not like them on my tan skin. The white was 100% better for me- so I definitely think people need to try on and not be afraid to go up half a size

[@hellocatwalkcity]

That’s great the Oran sandals work well for you! I tried them in multiple sizes and didn’t feel comfortable in any, but I’m happy you don’t have any issues with yours!

great video! i wonder if you can make a video about brands that you would recommend to young girls/boys that are just getting into handbags. what mid tier brands do you think hold up values in terms of quality and are going to be stable pieces? or what brands did you get started with when you were young? thank you for great videos as always!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ooh, I’ll add this to my list of video ideas! Thank you for the suggestion!

I made my own Balmain jacket - had a similar cut, cream jacket and added gold buttons

[@majanice]

great alternatives ❤

I love Cole Haan shoes, they’re always comfortable

[@teresamcg431]

I purchased the large Neverful to be used as a purse/carry on when I travel. Love the look, but the thin straps really dig into your shoulder when it is packed.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ah yes, I’ve heard that before about the straps!

Hello there! I love your content and independent and intentional mindset. Like you, I love individualized fine jewelry pieces that my husband and I are moved by. I have a more practical question as to your favorite no show socks. Have you considered a video on the practical items that we need everyday for comfort and durability.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Oh thank you! That’s a great idea for a future video!

Love the TUMI bag.

Great video! You're so down to earth, without losing femininity ❤ hello from Denmark 🇩🇰

Thank you so much!!

I love those sneakers!

[@druidriley3163]

Me too, but leather gets hot in the summer. I'll stick with white canvas sneakers.

Loved this and will be subscribing! I get so tired of seeing the same LV bag on everyone and it's not even leather (for the price)...so many better bags out there, but it's recognizable people gravitate toward that.

Thank you for subscribing!

I thoroughly enjoyed your take on over identifiable "lemming" status pieces. When the item is more important than the person carrying it how can that person be "chic?" However, certain items from luxury fashion houses do earn the right to be called classic. For example a classic Chanel flap bag. The problem arrises when women pile on one luxury logo after another to create a look. Many top tier houses create low key items that are merely high quality because of material and construction but are identifiable only to those who really know luxury in particular that maker. Although I would not have made the same choices as substitutes as you did, this was a well thought out presentation. Re LV luggage. Guilty as charged. Full disclosure, over many, many decades I have accumulated the luggage. It has served me well. But when I can, now that it is so ubiquitous, I will be happy to sell my collection for something else. What it will be, I know but will not say. Hint: It is not Goyard😂😂😂

I agree with, comfort is my priority.

[@joyvillavicencio3501]

Totally agree with all of these items! I definitely love the look of the neverfull in the damier azur but don’t see myself justifying such an expensive tote. I love the longchamp tote that you influenced me to get in the discontinued Neo! 😊 It’s a smarter choice to be mindful in not copying popular trends in the luxury world.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I wish they would bring the Neo line back! It’s SO good. I’m glad you scored one before they went away. Enjoy! 💕
