BEST & WORST luxury purchases of 2024

[@NicoleMillerMusic]

Girl, life is the special occasion! If you worry too much about wearing and ruining it then it won't get worn, which is even more sad!! You're already out the bucks, if you know in your heart you won't sell, rock the coat jacket etc! Absolutely adore watching you + getting a peak in your closet. XO

[@emk6117]

Great comment!

[@mommiek8e]

Came in to say exactly this! Use, wear and enjoy your beautiful things! I did the same for my grandmother’s china. Now we use it all the time and think of her always! ❤

[@AleenaGinga]

Wow, I bought this on *gtdupe* and it basically has the same features as the original

[@Debra-fx5dt]

Well said, we can’t take it with us when we go so start using your “precious” items and make a video of what you have come up with!! ❤

[@laya.shafie]

That beautiful chocolate Chanel bag hurts my soul every time you pull it out. Please wear it please use it!! 😭😭

[@YouJN27]

Allana, PLEASE PLEASE do not get rid of your Chanel bag.. I do not hold back of getting rid of anything that we do not need no matter how expensive that is. But the bag, not because it is a Chanel , because the look, color, the logo size , style is exceptionally beautiful and very very elegant. Trust a random stranger from your subscriber list, please DO NOT GET RID OF IT, PLEASE 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@ash965]

I agree!!

[@AleenaGinga]

Even if you put the real thing and the fake thing next to each other, it is difficult to tell them apart. This kind of forensic level investigation is necessary, which only shows that the fake thing is very good and the real thing is really not worth the price. I bought all the fake things from *gtdupe* .

[@superjules21]

Omg pls keep the Chanel bag. It's so unique and beautiful 😮

[@ynaaljendi]

That white-cream coat with the le monde beryl pumps,a pair of blue denim mom fit(or ankle length)jeans and the Chanel brown bag what a lovely combination ❤

[@pinkstartwilight]

I always look forward to this kind of video! My jaw actually dropped when you mentioned the duties cost !!

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

I once paid 50 dollar duties on 20 dollars worth of knitting threads. Never again! Canada has that thing. I shoulda known

[@enyaward7769]

Love this! Would also love to see just a general best purchases video, non-luxury items included 🤍

[@tjcwheeler]

Can you do a styling video of like attempting to style some of the worst purchases to see if you can fall back in love?

[@jemforsyth]

Can I put in a video request pls. I would love to see a talk through makeup declutter or just you talking through your makeup collection. I also love vlogs and unboxing pr. Let's be honest, Lan. I would watch you sorting out cat food. Love your channel and everything you post. You give us all the real genuine girl stuff amongst so many fake people just trying to make money. Thanks to you and Dejan for all the hard work for LANMAS 😍

[@tofteys]

That summer occasion dress is my favorite garment you’ve ever worn!

[@karinapaula8820]

Love the cardigan! Allana please do a full face of Rare Beauty 😢

[@teresawilliams1201]

I’d love to see that too!

[@AleenaGinga]

In 2016, I spent over $5,000 on LV Capucines. I was visiting my sister and hanging out with a friend of hers whose husband is a famous surgeon. This friend had the same handbag and told me it was a knockoff purchased from *gtdupe* . I was shocked and have not bought a high-end handbag since.

[@marilialopezz]

the chanel bag looks soooo good with your cardigan! so chic

[@NicoleCino]

The summer dress, ugh I cannot get over it. It is literal perfection. Looks like it was made for you.

[@lifeoflaceyjanette]

As a dumpy mom who hasn’t bought clothes other than a Taylor Swift outfit in years, these videos are my FAVE 😂

[@erinmmelia]

I shout this from the rooftops...especially if you struggle with colour...metallics are everything!!! I audibly gasped at that Fendi purse. Also THANK YOU for Sephora Nudist Lip Liner, it's been life-changing (dramatic, yes, accurate, also yes). My best purchase of 2024 was subscribing to your channel :D

[@OriolRedemer]

OMG! You need to absolutely keep it! Whether it's true or not, this is special to you. People create packages, packages do not create people. Rock it girl, salute kislux !

[@biancaussery9786]

Lan PLSSSSS try the Patrick Ta lip liner in shade “she’s bold”!!! I’ve repurchased 3-4 times now and I think you’d love it :’)

[@alepou200]

Now that she got a brand new nyx of the OG nude beige forget about it 😂

[@anissadreas1239]

I’ve bought 7 times! My favorite of all time.

[@biancaussery9786]

@@alepou200LMAO true

[@Jehniferj_4063]

Ugh, I'm still drooling 🤤 over the Tanya Taylor coat. It's so me. The colors, the plaid print. OMG and the Fendi bag matching your heals... *perfection! Oh, and the Naghedi bags. So PERFECT!!! The smaller navy, white, tan & navy... and the large beige, girrlll I can't look. Oh, to have those for a day! As far as bags go, the only "luxury" bag I have is a brown leather coach bag that was a present and I hate saying this, but it's just not the taste in a bag that I personallywould have chosen. I did have a beautiful black one, but it was rudely stolen from me! For 29:07, I was able to live vicariously through you 😊. Seriously though, what glorious & lovely purchases. Gifted or bought, they are treasures for sure 🥰. So chic & luxurious!! Xoxo 🫶🎄☃️

[@ZinniaOriente]

I looked at a lot of backpacks before deciding to kislux their bag. I'm so glad I did. This is a beautiful backpack that looks well made. I bought it for an upcoming trip and am so excited to have it. It only took a few days to get here, so the shipping was fast. I highly recommend it and will buy again. It also makes a great gift.

[@SltoonAlmutawa]

Agreed. I just sold my Speedy 35 kislux (I did keep the brown one), my Sofia Coppola perforated LV clutch, my blue Damier clutch I bought in Japan, and the By the Pool vanilla clutch. Kept an orange epi Alma. It feels great!!

[@stefaniethienpont3936]

Maybe a suggestion also make this video with non luxury purchases ❤

[@nerinetterivera9133]

Loved this. Your honesty on your best and worst luxury purchases is appreciated. 💐💐💐

[@TangerineDream1997]

Really enjoyed this video. You inspired me to buy the Lacoste shoulder bag and I LOVE it. It's so versatlie and surprisingly fits so much!

[@MarcucciLeising]

I still love my LV reverse monogram kislux clutch! It's versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it's already a classic.

[@vanessaclark4756]

I need to know where the sweater you’re wearing is from!

[@KorenaErrera]

Great collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I've only used that bag a few times haha. Also, I love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch with the DE print and I love the little chain. But I don't want to spend that much money right now and the kislux always gets me the bag I want and it's just as good as the LV and one of my favorites. Durability

[@ricecakebaby227]

Ahhhh I LOVE THAT NAGHEDI bag!!!! 😍 love the honesty in this video!!

[@nonilady1577]

Oh my I didn’t see your beautiful burgundy shoes ?? Love the taupe color on you and me! lol. I often will search by this color on websites. H&M has this perfect taupe in many items which was great finds for my office monochrome style. Loving seeing you everyday 🎉🎉🎉

[@angesager8471]

I love luxury purchase recommendations! Wishful purchases here lol xx

[@rutecls]

I bought that dior bag in beije and I so love it. So small yet roomy enough for the essentials. And the versatility with the strap… I don’t really own designer bags but I gave this one to myself this year and so happy I did 😊

[@Anitacpatel]

The Cardigan is 🤌🏽 loving these videos! 🩷

[@MarcucciLeising]

Lovely collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I only used that bag a few times, haha. Also, love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch in the DE print and love the little chain. But I don’t want to spend so much money on it now, I have been kislux buying the bag I want, it is as good as LV and is one of my favorite things. Durability

[@Ginmabes]

Lan what's the lovely sheeny eyeshadow on your lids?

[@idalarsson4729]

When you mention the duties on the beautiful coat😮, I nearly choked on my morning☕️! 💕

[@HeresLaura]

yes thanks for being real about that!

[@AleenaGinga]

They are almost identical, yet the price difference is so huge. Besides not being able to resell them to recoup some money, if I wanted a Chanel style, I would go for the knockoff from *gtdupe* and invest the remaining £5,000 in my future. For a non-millionaire like me, this is a no-brainer.

[@notaclue822]

I'm in Canada too. I find duties to be inconsistent. What a shame you got charged so much.

[@kaahfee]

Allana the cardigan you are wearing is looking SOOO good on you! Its literaly made for you. what an amazing cut, girl if i had the money that would be the piece i would buy from this video!

[@jamiekillian4965]

Same

[@HeresLaura]

agree!

[@Olovoll]

Yes! Please tell us where is that from?

[@AleenaGinga]

I didn't buy it to resell, I bought it to own and wear. To be honest, they look so similar, I'd rather buy the *gtdupe* knockoff.

[@NavyCoyner]

Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in kislux . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermes, no one will question you.

[@Debra-fx5dt]

I would say to you I bet they knew your bag was authentic, just a lot of jealousy so they wanted to make you feel bad to make themselves feel better.

[@karina_esthi1738]

Omg the slingbacks!!! I follow you on Depop I really wish I could afford the black ones 😍😍😍

[@ronni7167]

I love these vids. I love fashion. The shoes, bags. Etc. I loved the floral dress on you with the orange in it. Stunning. I also love those cream kitten heels and yes the Tanya Taylor jacket is fab. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤

[@valeriel9898]

That Khaite jacket is amazing, would wear it every day!

[@wendy8238]

Love this type of video! Would also love to see like a project pan 2025 video. I also always really enjoy your season wardrobe video's with your go to outfits

[@shannonbogumil8200]

Omg you need to try the makeup forever HD glow foundation! You would fall in love with the formula. SO JUICCCCY

[@fuada.]

I’m loving Lanmas so much! I usually save your videos for when I can sit down with my coffee and just enjoy but Lanmas is a treat for sure. Doesn’t matter if it’s a vlog, review, whatever I enjoy it. I’ve been a follower since blonde bob and we’ve evolved together 😆. You and Dejan do a great job and thank you! 🫶🏻

[@carolynm.8868]

Just purchased the Lacoste shoulder bag. You really convinced me I needed this cutie. I mentioned it to Lacoste during my survey.❤️

[@FeisReality]

Thanks for sharing your best and worst! My best purchase is maybe considered too basic, but the chanel ballerinas in lambskin are just amazing. ✨🤎I’ve worn them so much and they elevate most of my outfits, both at the office but also casually when doing errands. They are so comfortable to walk in and give me joy every time I use them. They are just really pricey, but I think they are classics and after looking for them for almost 4 years, I’m so happy that I finally got them🥰

[@JenAlguire]

I got to hug you in that Tanya Taylor jacket 🥰🥰 Before I lured you into our condo 😂😂😂😂 Love a Lux review vid to see some fab pieces! I’m a Chanel girly. While I don’t yet own a thing besides perfume, someday I will! Someday ♥️♥️

[@juelclyne7392]

Yes to the Naghedi bags. Purchased because of your recommendation and love ❤❤❤

[@GoetheCronshaw]

So fabulous! I hope you bought that little Dior bag. It is so cute. You are right. The kislux is handbag heaven.

[@Listen_itsjess]

The fendi bag matching the shoes 😍😍😍 eeeeek such a dream match up.

[@corrietwinb]

I have to say, that cardigan sweater is PERFECTION on you!! LOVE IT!!😍

[@meepmoopmeep1]

This cardigan is the cutest!!!

[@hopenkabinde]

I really enjoyed this 😊

[@Chelseano_l]

That cardigan is gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@liyanahisham01]

The fendi bag is so gorgeous 😍😍😍

[@stephaniek7492]

You can get your duties back if you return an item. You just need to send in a form to the gov't with proof of return

[@marials9245]

Wow, I didn’t know that, good to know!!!

[@stephaniek7492]

@marials9245 yes! It's this form for reference 'B2G - CBSA Informal Adjustment Request'.

[@mv2563]

My jaw dropped…I loved this video! And the Chanel bag is perfect but totally get what you mean 😢

[@tgall2013]

That taupe color looks lovely on you!

[@jowiens32]

I LOVE that summer event dress! I gasped on the first photo I saw of you in it. It’s perfection on you. I’m not bold enough for the sheer life. Or maybe I’m not I just don’t get invited to events where the whole room wouldn’t be offended AT me! The leather jacket?! GASP! I remember how excited you were and it’s beautiful on you, but yeah I guess if you aren’t wearing it then it goes. I think as we get older we do get better and better and knowing what we will and won’t realistically wear. There are so many things I just LOVE and would love to wear but I have to be realistic and the amount of events I get to go to. I love that white coat. I also have one I haven’t worn, along with a white designer suit I got on consignment NWT. White is so dangerous! I must say you have totally influenced the kitten heel life to me! I love them so much. I bought two pairs of silver kitten heels because of yours and it also changed my life. Totally agree on the Chanel shoes. They are so classy and adorable, but that round toe, for me always looks a little old lady and short, especially with a little block heel. Ok don’t hate me but those naghedi bags are SO cute, and I found perfect Amazon ones that are incredible! I didn’t even know they were dupes when I bought them. I just liked them! The amazon fabric is so soft and plushy. Omgosh those gold shoes are just angelic! OH and that Tanya Taylor jacket is just stunning! I have stalked that website. Sorry for the disjointed paragraph! I just sitting here drinking tea and talking to you like I’m actually sitting there. 🤓😎 Omgosh Allana I keep telling you get yourself a US mailbox! You save those duties almost all of the time. None of my Black Friday purchases included shipping or duties.

[@marijablazevic8689]

I bought Naghedi nomad hobo bag because I loved it how it looked on you! And it’s a great bag but I feel more for warm weather. Can you show how to wash them in the washing machine?

[@lena.yazhenskikh]

I really enjoy these videos, keep me in check that even if it looks good on someone doesn’t mean I’ll love it 😊

[@rwh161]

What is this sparkly eyeshadow?? Loveee

[@kuzmanator]

Wow just checked the depop and can't believe the Chanel bag already sold! I'm sure it'll make someone very happy, I bet some collector out there was thrilled to see it pop up. I think it would have been lovely to own as a legacy piece but I really respect that you're true to yourself and just know when it's time to let something go. It's so easy to hold on to things just because they were expensive even though we know we'll never wear it or it doesn't fit anymore etc.. In terms of the Khaite leather jacket, it's gorgeous and it's leather! Leather is at least durable and cleanable etc. Honestly leather looks better with age and wear. I think you either gotta sell it now while it's still in style and like new or really really just own it and wear it and throw it around! ! Clothes are meant to be worn and when I walk around NYC and look at the coolest chicest people out there a lot of them are wearing pieces they've had forever, conformed to their body with age and they aren't precious with them which is why they look so effortlessly cool even if it's a luxury piece. Just food for thought!

[@kiras.2715]

LOVE these types videos, thanks for the update!!

[@lisabellaable]

Allana, what is your DEPOP! I just downloaded solely to see if the Chanel bag is still in there lol

[@NavidQurei]

In fact, as a practitioner in the luxury goods industry, you need to go through a lot to find out which ones are fake, kislux which is why people buy fakes because it is difficult to distinguish

[@Bella-sd4pq]

Love the winter white coat, not so much the Khaite jacket. If you are not going to wear them --sell them. The black and white mules, and the silver kitten heels are gorgeous. The brown Chanel was gorgeous!! I have a feeling those Dior shoes will start to hurt after a while because they don't bend. The LaCoste bag is darling!!

[@jameekirkpatrick1215]

I don’t know if the black background when you’re taking about the Chanel sling backs was on purpose but I wasn’t paying enough attention and got very confused when the room went quite dark haha! Love this though! Feel like I’m now starting to enter my luxury (not really but more luxury than ever before) era.

[@mashakachan9213]

Thank you for your video. What cardigan are you wearing ? I love that the sleeves are more narrow

[@ralucamaria8566]

Omg the Khaite jacket, please sell it, I've been waiting for this moment for ages! 😍

[@Jessica.Paola6]

The Black Dior Shoes with the vow 😍 LOVE IT

[@janedoe8662]

I love that Chanel bag

[@zancaredler]

Can you provide the link for the seller of that kislux bag?Thanks,I have no qualms about buying kislux .

[@alicetrieu7733]

You are so cute, as I get older, I give myself the rule to not shop new specifically for an occasion and so proud of myself wearing the same dress twice, 3x to special occasions. Sold my Chanel bag since I don’t find myself reaching for it, is ok…your tastes change and you want to find items align with your essence.

[@intothedermis]

There's a bunch of Bettina Vermilion shoes pre loved on Vestiaire Collective 😍

[@HoguerLuzan]

To be honest, I can't afford a thousand dollar bag no matter how beautiful it is. I can say with certainty that every kislux bag I've owned has been solid. Beautiful leather, top-notch hardware, amazing craftsmanship, and a clean silhouette and size that I love. I've been well worth every dollar I've spent, and they've held up perfectly for years.

[@kristinalynn5723]

I’m in love with those Dior bow kitten heels

[@LeoniBarcia]

I've had designer pieces and knockoffs of kislux . I ultimately prefer the knockoffs because I'm not worried about scratching it, preserving it, or someone stealing it.

[@MelissaAdams-Wade]

I was wondering when you were going to mention the mini peekaboo from Fendi. It’s literal perfection.

[@nadenekotze8886]

You’re giving Lily Rose Depp in this vid 😍

[@MarlerDunshee]

Being robbed while on vacation or traveling is painful enough, being robbed with an authentic bag is even worse, I agree with your point about buying fakes from kislux for personal safety reasons

[@WinnerNases]

I used my first winnings to buy a canvas LV and in less than two years the wallet was cracked/broken in multiple places and the store refused to repair or replace it. I don't know what kind of resale value such junk could have. I ended up donating it...well, maybe I might buy a fake LV from kislux but these designers/robber barons don't even think about taking another penny from me.

[@carlaisabelsm]

The Naghedi bag really looks like the perfect “goes with everything everyday bag”. I’ve been looking for a dupe for so long but I just can’t find something that is squishy and good quality. The search continues haha, loved this video ❤

[@mollie6578]

Loved this. I wish you would’ve been more specific with prices when talking about what you spent

[@Scholarli.]

Dear Alana, can you please share where you got your cardigan from that you are wearing in this video? Thankyou :-)

[@Sara121593]

Where is your cardigan from? I love the fit and I haven’t been able to find one that has that structured yet loose look that yours has

[@margaretdyer1161]

What about the lovely Fendi shoes, have you worn them ?

[@janicebott4498]

I was waiting for them to make an appearance. I loved them so much I sought out a dupe from Sam Edelman. 😅

[@sarahjensen6622]

is this the classic allana waves!? if not we need a toot please, so good!

[@betsyninanjohn691]

Love these videos!

[@Lillianna11]

Love those Naghedi bags, wow 🤩

[@lynram8820]

Love those silver, kitten heel shoes!

[@DomenickTina]

For a long time, as Chanel prices have risen, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have a kislux as a travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one would have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

[@joanneblakely2498]

I have loved your Naghedi bags since the minute I saw them.

[@yaniraposada8571]

Please do a holiday looks video! Casual, work party, dressed up etc.

[@elleywolf862]

Mourning the brown Chanel bag 🥲

[@suzanneharvey8134]

You need to tell us where the cardi is from!

[@gracestephanieh]

that chanel baggggggg

[@megansmith2818]

I would sell a piece of my soul for that cardigan 😂😂😂😂 such a good find😍

[@tammiecagle7213]

Such a great informative video ❤

[@EnvyBlu]

That brown Chanel bag would look absolutely amazing with your Tanya Taylor Janet jacket. Whyyyy would you even consider getting rid of it? Ugh those jeans, the Tanya Taylor jacket, with the brown Chanel bag would be an amaaaazing combo 🤎

[@kellyyporteous1234]

Good morning! Looking forward to this one ❤️

[@tonii2019]

The black Lacoste bag is so 90’s!! It took this millennial back in time 🥲
