I really liked this video. I subscribed for your thrifting content, but then I fell in love with your personality and I watch every video you upload! I am interested in luxury content, but I would never own one. Just keep doing you! That's why i'm here. Hugs from Canada. xoxo

[@ChaosPan]

I am here because I adore you, regardless of what the video subject is. I am a plus size American, your hauls don't necessarily help me but I still love hearing what you have to say. Make whatever makes you happy, I know I love seeing that. I may never be able to afford luxury items, but I'd sit for hours to listen to you talk about your collection. I honestly would love to see the collection you have from the Designer of your dress (forgot his name) it sounds lovely.

[@Pifkie]

@Pretty Pastel Please You need to know that: For goods with a value of AUD1000 or less, there are generally no duties, taxes or charges to pay at the border. However, From 1 July 2018, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) may be collected by overseas vendors of such low value goods when imported from overseas by consumers in Australia Goods with a value of over AUD1000 To import goods with a value over AUD1000, you need to lodge an Import Declaration. The Import Declaration provides information about the goods you are importing. There is a processing charge for making an Import Declaration. You will also be required to pay the duty and taxes for your goods. You may use the services of a licensed customs broker to help you import your goods.

[@Pifkie]

Also, just split the order. Order half one week and have delivered to your own address, under $1,000 value , then order a week later for the next lot, and have sent to a different address. As long as the order is not all sent out at the same time, and there is a gap in between, then no duties are payable. $800 seems to be an awful lot of duty for items costing around $4,000 .

I didn't expect to get hit in the feels at an hour into this light hearted video. I really appreciate Alex being open about mental health, depression and bullying. There are too many of us who are left with mental health problems from bullying at school or at work.

[@MiniAngelMom]

First, I laughed when Archie jamed his beak into your coffee. Then I cried when you started talking about how you were bullied in school. If I had longer arms, all the way from Michigan USA, I'd hug you. I've watched you for a very long time, and you deserve everything you have worked for, because you have earned it. I seriously hope your bullies come across your channel and see you now.

[@meaganadwyer]

I've been really depressed and thought a lot about suicide lately but hearing you talk about your past self and what you wish she knew really hit me hard. It's made me kind of hopeful for the future and what it might hold for me. Thank you.

[@SnapesHoney2800]

Meg, don't let your dark inner self get the best of you. You ARE important. You DO matter. You ARE loved. You ARE NOT a burden. You ARE someone's whole world. It is okay to not be okay. If you need help, Don't be embarrassed or afraid to ask for it. You can't be pulled out of the water if you don't reach your hand out for help. If you need to, call the suicide hotline in your area. Just open up and talk to them or a close friend or family member. I hope things get better for you soon sweetie. Sending awkward, gentle hugs from a fellow depression club member.

I can appreciate a well made luxury item but those things aren't doable for me so I'm very excited to get a great thrift deal!

[@coltjames9159]

I'm just glad Alex isn't like Jeffree Star when it comes to luxury. That irritates the shit out of me? Dunno why. But I love watching Alex get excited for luxury even if it's second hand. But I also don't care for luxury since I think you're mostly paying for the brand rather than the product. And I don't care for luxury brands. Unless it's Balenciaga Platform Crocs. lmfao

I don’t really get the whole luxury fashion thing, it all seems so expensive and ridiculous to me, but I do really enjoy watching this content! Just watching your sort of chill videos like this are really nice but also I find these this type of stuff interesting, and I find your insights into it really educational! On another note, hearing you talk about your childhood and mental health was really nice. I’m still pretty young, only 21, but I relate to your situation so much and I’m currently in a pretty bad place in limbo waiting to hear back about both my job and a new flatting situation, so just hearing you talk about it helped me feel a bit more hopeful. Thank you for all that you do, it really means a lot to people.

[@MADEbySOUL]

Beware that Chanel is infamous for their earrings breaking and look up the material is was made of. Last time I checked, they do not use real gold or even sterling silver. That goes for all the fashion houses.

[@-amber-5714]

I was looking for this comment... I get that earrings from chanel are nice to have but you are really paying for the brand there.. the materials are not the best indeed.

[@MADEbySOUL]

@@-amber-5714 haha when she said cheap earrings from Etsy break I kept whispering “gold vermeil os your best friend.” Around $40 or less and they are better materials than Chanel’s metals.

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

They are basically just costume jewelry with a ridiculous prize tag. I saw a lady here on KZbin who HD to bring in her Chanel earrings multiple times because the little fake pearls kept falling out and they keep doing it still. I would personally not get any or just something without any pieces that could fall out or break off. Definitely it worth it for me either way when I can get real gold or silver jewelry for much less.

[@marbleousmel]

I’m allergic to a lot of metals. I’m not paying hundreds or thousands for jewelry I cannot wear, no matter the brand.

[@stellaplunkett6456]

The fact Alex promotes them and recommends it, I don’t care about the discount! It’l never be worth that much. She even said about the how they Wil last a lifetime… yeah if you never touch them! She could have bought real Australian golf and pearls (like from Amber Sceants)

[@hikki6089]

The turtleneck and the chanel earrings suit you so well! And yes, I love buying vintage chanel bags from Japan. The Japanese really take good care of their stuff!

Maybe a controversial thing, but I’d love to see a comparison video for the fake vs real items. Maybe you could find fake versions of the other items you got? It’s just so interesting to me!

[@TarisLuna]

Bullying is the reason I hate brown LV bags and basically everything with the brown LV in it. The group of girls that where the harshest and most brutal with the way they bullied me had those bags (probably fake), so my brain automatically goes "ALTERT - TACKY - BITCHY - DON'T ENGAGE". It's nothing against the brand and nothing against people carrying those bags, it's just a warning system engraved into my mind.

[@ayaha5115]

Bullying is horrible and you shouldn't have gone through that. I understand what you mean.

Thanks for always being so open with your vulnerability when discussing your childhood bullying. Also the escapism element is always great when discussing luxury goods.

I‘m here for your personality. I just enjoy watching you unbox stuff, talk about clothing, plants, doing a makeover… whatever. I loved the plants haul btw. which got me to start thinking of buying cute plants, but I refrained because cats. So make content that YOU like and the people that are there for your personality will stick around. 💕

[@Iroh12345]

Alex, I'd watch anything that you post. I watch your channel for YOU, your personality, humor and openness (and the birb of course). So I really don't mind what content you post. That being said, I get that you're worried about posting content centered on luxury items. It's not something I'm usually interested in or could ever afford and I think lots of other viewers relate to that. However, a good way to possibly compensate for it is to throw in some more thrifting videos as well (and possibly also DIY?) Your Christmas thrifting vlogs/hauls were some of my favorite videos you ever made. Think of it this way: your luxury items videos will probably attract lots of new videos while your long-time subscribers will adore your thrifting/DIY vids. Once it's possible again, traveling vlogs will probably speak to many different audiences and eventually, all of these videos will make cleanout videos possible (necessary) as well HAHAHA. A little bit of everything will make sure you don't alienate your audience and the variety will (hopefully) keep it fun for you as well :)

I love ordering used stuff from Japan because their version of used is definitely VERY different from what you can expect here in Germany. I'm not into designer items but I collect gaming consoles and games and I can only recommend buying them from Japan. For certain Nintendo consoles you can even play your regions games on them, like the DS or all Game Boys including the GBA. Better quality and way cheaper even with shipping by now I've hooked up all of my friends.

They are also available in wider sizes as in for wider feet and we have a selection for unusual shoe sizes too. I'm skinny myself but I'm always so happy when I get a happy email from someone who finally found something without any issues because on our site basically everything is just made for them or people like them.

Frothed milk, we don't put whip cream on hot coffees in Aus like in America. Whip cream sometimes for iced beverages.

You are such a beautiful person inside and out. Watching you is always a joy and from one person to another who also struggles with mental health, I am so happy you are still here today

[@Amsayy]

I hope your bullies come across and see what an amazing, talented young woman you've become and all the success you've had and feel a tremendous amount of shame. You deserve all the love in the world, and I'm really proud of you and how you've grown over the couple years I've watched you alone. To think how far you've come, you've killed it!

[@amadgirlwithafez]

Alex your pep talk is just what I didn't realise I needed. I have lost two family members in the last 6 months and my dog died on Friday. I have well and truly hit rock bottom. Your videos bring a little light to my dark days and I truly hope what you said is true, and that things can only get better. (sorry for trauma dumping lol I just wanted to let you know how much you are helping me through these dark days

[@meganb1282]

Ahh this is so helpful. I've been looking at Chanel and Dior blazers, dresses and bags on The Realreal and the prices aren't great on everything.. and sometimes the quality is really bad. I got a dress with a separated zipper and they wanted me to foot the bill for shipping it. They also sent me Prada shoes with toe gunk in them. ugh. So yeah.. perfect timing on your video! ❤❤❤

[@Coffeegirl739]

They dont clean shoes? 😱

[@meganb1282]

@@Coffeegirl739 apparently not. I got 2 separate pairs of shoes that were absolutely caked in black gooey toe funk. I was so disgusted. At least wipe them out! I won't buy shoes from them anymore, but have purchased other clothing. It's hit and miss on quality. They don't always disclose flaws.

[@elouisebell613]

The realreal is known for selling fakes ironically

[@meganb1282]

@@elouisebell613 that's the same for any site like that. Fashionphile, Rebag, thredup and others. I have all my high-end stuff authenticated if it feels or looks off. Now I'd never buy off thredup. They are the literal worst at authentication. I am in a few groups and I've seen dozens of posts about getting obvious replicas. They sent me a fake dolce & Gabbana bag a couple years ago and I'm still not over it.

[@em84c]

@@meganb1282 I've even heard of it happening at department stores. Bad people will buy an authentic bag and return a fake bag and sometimes the store doesn't notice. And then sells the fake bag to a new customer.

BRUH, i love how honest she is and how humble she is with everything she has.

[@Totally_Stitchcraft]

I always love your longer videos, you provide great advice, knowledge, and entertainment. I’m so glad you found this wonderful sponsor and I hope you are doing well ❤️

[@amye1914]

Would love to see your LV collection! And comparing reals to dupes. I couldn'tafford luxury items normally but as some one who loves a good find in the op shop, I'd love to know what I'm actually looking for on the off chance one turns up so I can feel like I am splurging

[@josephinetijerino]

Alex having a heart to heart with us about her bullying experience in a beautiful room by a window with a chunky turtleneck and rain is a vibe. Love you girl.

[@lynnrobnett7199]

I completely understand how you feel. I was in a bad marriage which I didn’t realize it was until looking back. At the time I was devastated and living in at my ex-in-laws, sleeping on the floor while my husband, at the time, chased after another woman. I was at completely rock bottom. Now I almost have my credit built up to buy my own home. I’m so very proud of myself and how far I’ve come in the last 5 years. I’ve watched you and your channel change and grow over the last few years. And I’m just as proud of you for all of the great things you do!! Keep inspiring people!!

[@lexymarie4101]

So so happy for you 😊 and I loved seeing you being so honest! I felt ya there a lot but it’s amazing knowing both of us are now in a good place with ourselves and at home with our husbands such a blessing ❤️ love from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@kiahcostello6649]

Love you so much watching you helped me get threw a very dark period of my life both my daughter, mother and father all past very close together and I was in a dark place. Watching you helped me threw it, you and Archie just bring a smile to my face with just being yourself :) also bonus points for a fellow Aussie ❤️❤️❤️

[@Ja1561082]

This was definitely a video I enjoyed watching even if I wouldn’t buy those items.

[@dees3179]

[@carsensikyta9421]

Alex, Thank you for being so honest and open about your experiences. I think you are gorgeous inside and out. I enjoy your videos mostly because I like you as a person and I'm so glad that that you have found people in your personal life who treat you like the joy you are

[@lisacottrell6470]

I am one of the people you talked about that would NEVER be able to afford any luxury brand weather it was new OR second hand but I LOVE watching your videos on all of the clothes and accessories because in all honesty I just love any video you make LOL thank you for the great content and please keep them coming. I can’t wait to see what you do for this year’s ThriftMas!!!

[@Sky-Fallx_x]

I STARTED CRYING WHEN SHE DID, I just wish you all the best in life and I’m so glad your still here with us I’ve watched you for years and I can never truly show how much I appreciate you, you deserve the world and I’m sorry I can’t give you that but truly ALEX YOUR AMAZING❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@stephaniechristian3280]

1. I love the variety of content. I’ll never buy most of it but it’s still inspires me to broaden my style and shopping experience. 2. Just 1 roll on the Chanel cashmere. 3. Thank you for sharing your emotions and experiences. You aren’t alone and you will change lives and inspire by doing so.

[@robintuition]

Alex, I literally do not care about designer goods, but seeing how genuinely happy and grateful you were in this video proved that it was money well-spent. I could tell that you just wanted it for you, and this video was a pleasure to watch because of that. Thank you for sharing about that bangle. I cried with you, and I'm so happy for you that you got through those difficult times

[@monicachavezmedina2682]

I watch for you and your personality. I've enjoyed all of your content. Your heart shines through.

[@annieyahu676]

You're a sweetheart. So happy to see you are a thankful and grateful person. So many people are so spoiled and think they are owed everything. Much love ❤

[@mila99able]

I love watching these second hand videos! Im not really interested in spending full price on luxury items because its a little ridiculous to me but I love learning about these shops! Thanks!

[@shannoncoles6746]

I am so pleased I stayed tune your story of being bullied and looking at your life with humble gratitude, I get it. Thanks for being transparent and Genuine

[@NekoKiku]

Oh my goodness it has been such a pleasure to see Alex grow from her Wish Hauls to the joy she gets from luxury items

[@monicabroussard840]

She has come a long way

[@toivoa119]

01:14:30 Tiny little flaw in your line of argumentation: You got the earrings „cheap“ because they are damaged. So it does not mean that they will never break, because they are expensive Designer jewellery. Let’s be honest, these things are expensive because you pay for the brand name. Not more, not less.

[@rockyshocks101]

I can't afford these, but I still enjoy watching. I'm not offended at all by you making luxury item videos.

[@monicabroussard840]

Same i live vicariously through her. Then she had to pY customs 800 dollars!!! I would have shit

[@chronicpainisntmyidentity]

I don't expect you to see this at all, I pray you do. But I'm over hear getting teary eyed hearing you talk about being bullied and going through depression when you put the bracelet on 💔🙏 I relate to you so much, I was bullied for my weight and for my eye shape and proportions. I suffer with depression, anxiety, and PTSD from my past. Your videos help me on my bad days. You are such an amazing person, and I just want to hug you and tell you, you aren't alone and tell you how much you help people with your videos 😢💔🙏 videos like these are why you are one of my favorite creators, you are real, vulnerable, caring, respectful, and so much more ❤️👏😍

[@kateflack9968]

Wow I have to comment again the way these things made you feel is so moving you so deserve this and I believe people will watch this and may just find that glimmer of hope. This wasn’t just a review it was very powerful and yes the pieces were beautiful enjoy them ❤️

[@meridanrichardson9631]

When you started to cry it got to me. I am very heavily pregnant but 6 years ago around this time, I was sectioned for mental health, and if I am completely honest I didnt think I'd be alive to see my next birthday. Now I look back, I own my first house with my loving partner, I have our family dog and cat and I have 10 weeks till I meet my sprog. I wrote a letter to myself for my last therapist session and we ripped it up crumpled it, then put it back together and framed it. Now it's a proudly hung up in my living room for everyone to see/read. Thank you for being so... honest in this video! 💕

[@yunicoorn]

Man your bullied tangent really struck a cord with me as I have similar experiences from my childhood. You know, I've been watching you consistently since your first Wish haul and I'm so proud of how far you've come, you deserve every bit of happiness and luxury item this world can offer! Thank you for always putting out great content and for being an amazing person ❤ Edit/PS: I would love a fake vs real comparison, that sounds super interesting to me!

[@billybee9659]

You are so incredibly loveable. You’re one of the few content creators that I absolutely trust. You’re beautiful, intelligent, funny and completely worthy of all the success that’s come your way. Your content is out-of-this-world good. Your thrifting series got me through our very long lockdown here in Canada when we couldn’t shop at all. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us. ❤️

[@ayo_hitman_bang_introduces]

I love your thrifting videos...all your (review) videos because I love how thorough you are. Also, the dye looks pretty as well. The function of beauty side is still going strong...I'm surprised😅😅

[@JustTheTwoWanderers]

Alex, you are so beautiful. When you talked about your past with bullies it brought tears to our eyes. Nobody deserves to be treated like that. You have accomplished so much and you are such a down to earth person! Your family, friends and Dan are very lucky to have someone like you. You’re an angel and I would be forever grateful if I had you as a friend your love is as big and full as your heart. The one and only KZbinr I WILL watch for the rest of my life. Be proud, be positive, be you 💖

[@SadieRayy88]

You are such a beautiful person, inside and out. I’ve gone through similar situations as you when I was younger.

I used from japan in the past to order a specific pen body. The proces so smooth! And the pen is the best ever

[@kaseysmith379]

Hey Alex, I think both USA and AUS has a import duties on purchases over 800$ but you can break up your purchase next time into sub 800 amounts so that you don't have to pay duties unless you have to
