COME CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WITH US IN LONDON | VLOGMAS DAY 4 | Lydia Elise Millen

[@kathyodonnell6067]

Lydia, I just love your intro this year. I cry everytime I watch it, I lost my husband 7 years ago and we always slow danced together around our kitchen, it's:one of the things I miss most!!. I found you 2,years ago and you brought back the joy for me, I loved my clothes and make up in my thirties and I had forgotten all that joy, now in my 50s. 😊 and loving what hung. Thanks and I hope you and Ali have a wonderful Christmas. Keep doing what you do, I love it!!!

[@lydiamillen]

Oh bless you! I’m so sorry for your loss but so grateful to be a little part of your joy 🤍

[@GildedFashion]

We can't imagine the pain of your loss, but speaking on behalf of all this community, we hope you'll never give up hope and find that special romance once again. Different, but nonetheless, a grand romance. Be courageous and open your heart again. That's what life is about.

[@Liochooo]

Oh this moved me! Sending you all the love this Christmas 🤍

[@essbee5882]

❤

[@KarinaSwan]

Your loss is terrible, keep hanging on to your wonderful memories, which are truly precious, and talk to your husband. I hope you'll still have wonderful holidays. 🙏🎄🎅🤗🌺

[@lee_lora32]

Lydia, the Dior dress is absolutely stunning!! And yes you can wear it so many different ways. Dior really gives you the star treatment with the special dressing room suite, bringing out all the jewels to try on with the dress, the handbag. So happy you bought the dress. I think your labels for your seed packets are such a creative idea. Any gift whether made, bought or grown is a gift because it comes from the heart. 😊❤️

[@stareye8]

Does anyone know the price of the dress? I tried going to the website, but it doesn't seem to be showing there...

[@FRANCESCAPALLONE-d1s]

Dior black velvet dress: most simple but most beautiful dress ever, timeless, pure elegance!!!

[@bmarshall4175]

I have to say your Christmas intro this year is my favourite, the Ali wink is everything and you guys dancing at the end is the cutest 🎄

[@Ingridnielsenn]

1: the most Lydia-esque thing is going into Dior for fun and ending up buying something 😂 2: I love these types of vlog where we get an insight to the dynamic you and Ali have, like the cognac tasting, the conversations you have about the dresses and what not. It’s really lovely. Your family life is fascinating, the small every day glamorous things are sometimes more exciting to following along with than the big events, the hauls and what not (having said that I love those parts too, but these type of vlogs just seem very special) Nevertheless, I enjoyed this one a lot ♥️

[@lydiamillen]

This is such great feedback! I love having Ali with me because he’s so great at capturing the other perspective, I think the same for when I go away with Carrie 🤍 thank you x

[@Ingridnielsenn]

⁠@@lydiamillenyes I absolutely agree, it’s a very similar scenario when you go away with Carrie! Generally just being able to observe your relationships with the people closest to you is a treat ♥️

[@Lisa-sp5if]

I love the way you love on your husband, Lydia! He is absolutely beautiful inside and out!

[@mols9]

I’ve come straight from your podcast with Grace and I must say it’s really refreshing to see how down to earth and lovely you are in your KZbin videos. It’s also a reminder that you and Ali aren’t just poster models! I’ve found my new favourite KZbin channel to binge watch!

[@DianeWilson-n7u]

I also found that online interview so interesting and well done you for where you are today through hard work.

[@thestickitartstudio7374]

The way she didn't even worry about how much time she was taking so she can "float around", I aspire to be that girl 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@Lisa-sp5if]

Lydia, I do think it’s so beautiful that you felt inspired to give your Christmas present this year to that charity you mentioned in the last video!❤

[@marcialane3956]

Thank you for taking us along for your trip to London. I am glad you decided on the black Dior dress….no doubt it looked even more exquisite in person than through the camera lens. This was such a lovely and enjoyable video to watch. Merci beaucoup to both you and Ali 🎄

[@WastingThyme]

The intro is your best by far. I love the simple, humble and intimacy of you, Ali, sausages and kitty and what makes your life complete. The changes in you and your life in the last 2 years are wonderful to behold. Thank you for taking all of us on the Journey.

[@earthmother45]

I love the way you and Ali laugh together. My parents were together for 63 years and I think the secret to their long love affair was the way they made each other laugh until the end. ❤

[@kokocn]

Your couple vlogs with Ali always make me smile so much!! Thank you for sharing darling ❤

[@elenatomaselli5555]

You need that Dior velvet dress - it is so stunning and timeless on you Lydia ❤😍 thanks for taking us along your annual Christmas shopping trip!

[@twall2975]

Gifting seeds for Christmas is wonderful idea....those seeds can inspire a future hobby and passion that could last an entire lifetime.....small packet of seeds equals endless possibilities....now that's the gift that keeps on giving ❤

[@drsusieg]

New York cannot hold a candle to London at any time of year. The intro is absolutely a romantics' dream. You have surpassed yourself again. Thanks for a delightful and inspiring year of vlogs. Would you consider doing a course on how you overcame the C19 drama? We could usr some extra direction on how to grow.

[@sheliaerwin3899]

New York ALL THE WAY...FROM AMERICA😂❤

[@sheliaerwin3899]

New York holds the key the candle and the whole kit and kiboodle

[@GertsGhouls]

I'm so glad everyone is loving the intro as much as me! It made me emotional, especially the dance you two shared. I think it's clear that your followers love you both for your character not where you live or what you own. Merry Christmas 🎄🥰

[@christianesturmer4159]

Oh yes ,im new Here ...and i Like her personality

[@Baby_Booh_MSP]

So glad that you bought the dress, it’s absolutely stunning. It’s quite upsetting when you see people choose not to get the item and instead choose to go with something else or nothing at all when they’re clearly leaving a masterpiece behind

[@kv7654]

Sherrell did THE nicest makeup I’ve ever seen on you. GORGEOUS!!!

[@remi.fragrance]

Oh the seeds as gifts with the stunning labels, Lydia that is a beautiful and such a lovely gift! That’s so kind 🥰 The intro brings me such joy seeing you and your family, it’s honestly the wholesomeness of it that makes it perfect for this cozy festive season 🌲🌲🎄🎄

[@jennifer6833]

I’ve truly enjoyed everything on your vlog as well as the podcast you were a guest on today. ❤🎄❄️ The intro is an absolute cinematic masterpiece Lydia and Ali! The seed packets are very special as presents. I’ve never forgotten when you received your first seed packet and how grateful you were. That packet changed your trajectory in so many beautiful ways. The little things are the big things in so many ways. Bravo Lydia 1:00:18 , I completely agree with you in terms of Ali and his camera time.

[@ghc26]

Your intro this year is beautiful and I love the exchanges between you and Ali! ♥️ I’m American, and I can say wholeheartedly that London does the seasonal decorations best! There’s just no comparison. 💫🌟✨

[@mjrh45]

I have so enjoyed watching your evolution over the years becoming such a lovely person.

[@missybelmont9830]

The Dress was Ok, but if you loved it and can justify the price then that's all that truly matters...honestly you look great in everything.....plus you are really good at re-selling when you need to just let something go to make room for more exciting things..your taste IS the best there is of all influencers today! I watch 5 other British ladies, you're always number one to me❤❤❤

[@starabaker]

👏👏👏👏

[@lillybud]

I totally agree.

[@alisonsneed3707]

Yes the dress is just okay. And buying a year out, you’ll change your mind 3Xs over.

[@kimbruce52]

The dress is gorgeous and as Lydia said classic so won’t go out of style, but I agree, with the wedding being a whole year out, she may change her mind/ find something else. Shall we make some bets?

[@ashsinha2769]

Who else u follow?

[@lynnpetti3817]

Love the dress. Glad you are getting it. I live vicariously through you, so go for it. Love the burgundy accessories, on my wish list (lower price). Love seeing Ali in full on dapper mode. He does it so well. But I agree with Lydia that you almost look better just rolled out of bed. Same goes for you, no makeup needed. I really appreciate all the shots of London Christmas street lights. Gorgeous.

[@rachaelwaring9991]

Absolutely adored the Dior dress, wish it was in my budget! Love seeing you and Ali out and about together but also love seeing you pottering about at home. You are BOTH gorgeous when you’re “not ready for the camera” ❤

[@carolehellmann1068]

You both are the most professional, beautiful couple inside and out, lovely family life you built and an inspiration to many. The intro is out of this world. I really hope someone contacts Ali for film work, no one does this KZbin gig like you two. Many rich blessings in 2024!!

[@courtneyschwartz9357]

I absolutely adore the thoughtfulness and meaningfulness of your seed/produce gifts. What a lovely gift that keeps on giving ❤

[@esmepage1392]

This Christmas intro is by far the best I've ever seen, anywhere! It's so touching! Xxx

[@EEN63]

The black velvet Dior is a gorgeous and timeless investment you’ll enjoy for years! Fantastic choice! I hope Ali picked up on on your comment about those burgundy leather gloves... a great little Christmas gift for the woman who has just about everything! Love seeing you and Ali out and about enjoying each other’s company! You make such a charming and lovely couple! I have to concur with your remark to Ali that he looks fantastic, even when he pops right out of bed and hasn’t gone through his “getting ready” rituals! Your seeds are a special and thoughtful gift from the heart! I love your custom stickers and think all the effort in getting them just right definitely paid off. The recipients will be glad to have such a personalized and thoughtful gift! I think your vlogmas intro is lovely! We can’t always time Mother Nature to cooperate with our preconceived notions on what nature is “supposed” to look like at any given moment of the season. The footage you shot was absolutely gorgeous! The most important bits are all the shots of you, Ali and all the beloved animals! You showed the love, showed the fun and the silly, captured so much beauty and pulled on heartstrings and that is a huge success in my book! Excellent vlogmas! I always look forward to the next video! And that, too, is a success as far as I’m concerned! Well done!😍🥰😘❤️ P.S. Happy Birthday, Carrie! 🍾🥂🎂

[@bernadettewatts3975]

Really, really lovely Lydia!! You are truly stunning and elegant in the Dior dress. Love the idea of seed packets and the labels are a fabulous touch. Happy Advent to you and your husband!

[@ginahausler7649]

They look sooo good together wow👏🏽 straight out of a movie

[@alisonmulholland167]

The makeup artistry by Sharelle is absolutely stunning - you look very beautiful Lydia x

[@Mummah_moo_xo]

Such a lovely vlog with you both. A beautiful reminder to date your partner even if you've been together for what may seem like forever. We've just had a little one and being so wrapped up in him we'd forgotten us. You've inspired me, I'm planning a date night just the two of us for Christmas. Merry Christmas to you both x

[@debbiestott3651]

Those seed packets are adorable and full of life giving seeds. Obviously not everyone's cup of tea but so thoughtful and lovely. Your intro is perfect Lydia. Ooh that dior dress is absolutely gorgeous. X

[@Belisa-r5t]

yes love. we love what you love. you can't do no wrong. I loved the whole intro not the mention the music and the special clips inserted ...amazing.

[@theresapaige678]

Lydia, it genuinely brings me joy to see how happy you get when you find something you love! Seeing you float around the room in that gorgeous Dior is the best, I absolutely loved it 😍🥰 it’s because I would feel the same way and I got to live that moment through you. I feel that somewhere inside all of us there is a little girl who loves beautiful things and playing dress up and it’s so fun to see! Never lose that! 🫶❤️

[@SKN1763]

London really is always beautifully decorated at Christmas and New Years.

[@dianebell8677]

I have just returned from Berlin , London is so much better especially at Christmas ❤

[@MegaTelenovela]

I love that your whole brand is all about the details even on something simple as seeds they have a luxurious feel to the packaging and presentation that makes it not only a beautiful but very thought out gift.

[@marcialane3956]

Such a wonderful idea to have your own labels🍃 They turned out really lovely💚

[@pollys2142]

I love the intro. It makes me think of me and my husband and the way we want to be. You should be proud of the life you’ve created

[@tammygozel7771]

The two of you are so sweet love watching you together, so supportive of each other.

[@myblackheartxx8]

My first thought when you put that dress on was 'imagine bringing this out in 20 years (having worn is obviously many many times) and another girl in your family being able to put it on and wear a bit of 2023 Dior". How special

[@raanaashraf1685]

i just love the effort put into every detail about the seed package . makes me what to bake something and package it in a similar design . you have inspired me

[@ritakaloki5775]

Lydia, I love the dedication and work you put into your vlogmas uploads. A year ago, your videos took me through postpartum, my son is now 1year and I can't stop admiring him jump at the sight of porty and Berkley. Great job Lyds! And happy holidays

[@lydiamillen]

This warms my heart 🥰 I hope you are doing better now my love x

[@evedallas8667]

I LOVED the intro! U also LOVE the black velvet dress! It was made for you. I adore what you do every year for Vlogmas!

[@kimbruce52]

Beautiful festive vlog, Lydia. Thanks for taking us along. Love the more tender relationship between you and Ali these days. So glad you two are scheduling in more time off this year. Every day vlogs are too much to keep up with anyway. Your NARS makeup looked lovely by the way.

[@PjTexas]

This video put me in the Christmas spirit! 🎄 Love how respectfully you and Ali speak to each other. ❤️ Now I just need to order my ‘Evergreen’ book! Been watching you for almost a decade and I’m probably the last to purchase your book. Can’t remember how I do it as I’m in Dallas, TX USA. If anyone knows, please let me know! 🌿

[@rhondamiller9209]

Loving your video today, the cards for your seeds. It’s really the thought that counts. You are so loving when you are giftgiving that the people that really know you really appreciate it and know the thoughts that went into the gift. It’s not the value of the giftto me and I see to you as well. It is the thought and appreciation of the person that you’re given the gift to.

[@sadya-k8n]

i'm in love with the greenhouse stickers the most, and I think the motto enscribed on them is fabulous!!

[@kloekat62]

The London Christmas shopping vlogs are my favorite

[@kristyreynolds8334]

Loved the dress and your makeup was stunning! The artist really made your eyes pop!

[@helenmcmahon2498]

Hi Lydia this vlog is perfection....❤️ OMG, loved Ali sampling cognac for the first time.

[@elaa1934]

Am so happy you bought the dress!! Good for you

[@karenreiter533]

How absolutely charming to receive a Christmas card with a sweet seed packet inside with such a lovely label. And I believe if Mr Millen Gordon could have enjoyed his Remy Martin while you were visiting the fabulous flagship Dior store, you could have gotten the Diamond necklace as well. 😊 Merry Christmas to you both!

[@emilyraskett6095]

I love that you gave out seed packets for gifts! it's such a sweet kind idea and totally something I would do :)

[@oresteslateralus4650]

The burgundy colours are gorgeous, very festive.

[@lisalachhman]

The Dior dress is absolutely timeless and stunning, I don't think you would regret keeping that in your wardrobe.

[@CathyLandrith]

Lydia I have been to London several times and my wish is to return at Christmas. I was born and raised proudly in NYC but i must say it cannot hold a candle to london at this time of year. MERRY CHRISTMAS LYDIA AND ALI

[@fontainegoss]

Fabulous intro! I actually watch it every time. The black velvet Dior is stunningly beautiful on you. Brilliant choice. I can’t wait to see how you end up styling it.

[@theboy.inblack]

First you look STUNNING on it! Second its a very classy dress that will never go out of style and it will be an amazing vintage piece some day, third I hope Alie gets the choker for you haha :)

[@Shir463]

No he be getting her seeds😂 ..just joking she's not demanding.

[@galtgallery6720]

Love the seeds. I saved the echinacea, mint, and lemon balm plants from my parent's garden

[@MegaTelenovela]

This is the funniest video of you guys yet! Unleashing Ali's beast!

[@Amacott99]

The black Dior gown…..is everything ❤❤❤❤

[@fitgraphisva]

I am SO GLAD (and relieved!) you purchased that Dior dress. My inner monologue while watching was “You cannot leave without buying that dress. It looks as if it was couture-made you.” When you said it was black velvet, I was thinking “That’s it. Get out that credit card!”

[@deewaipio]

This intro definitely pulls your heartstrings...Love, love, love...

[@hcathytagmount5124]

Cognac is Brandy surely he has had that. 😂 the intro is beautiful I love the both of youv dancing

[@kellyrobson8393]

Lydia that was the funniest thing you have ever said...I love it when you and Ali are together and you are chilling enjoying life I laughed out loud at your comment while tasting the cognac ❤

[@DDtiffer]

Every thing was beautiful, including you and your husband!♥️

[@Boymom2012]

The burgundy hat is gorgeous on you !!!! Lovely vlog as always ❤

[@rutamozuraityte6938]

Am I the only one absolutely CRAVING a bun tutorial?! 😍😍

[@Katia_PNW]

Hello! As an American viewer. I really enjoy your Vlog. Definitely a different style. I absolutely love very classic and elegant. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤

[@lillybud]

I absolutely love your intro!! The dancing got me. Your both beautiful people.

[@khethiwelamula1901]

That intro is absolutely stunning 😍 very beautiful and we can tell it took time to do it. Definitely my favourite one you've done ❤

[@JaniceInFrance]

Love it also

[@_habibir]

Me too!

[@meme-jc5ks]

Loved the assistant in Dior! What a legend.

[@pattybarnes4944]

Your makeup was done beautifully!!! Love the Dior dress..it is you!!!

[@chelsicarter4091]

Hello from Australia & I agree, London looks & feels the best for Christmas.

[@kimberlyhallett3637]

What a beautiful life you live. You deserve the world beautiful Lydia. ❤

[@lailahharrison5350]

i’m loving the vlogmas intro lydia!! 💕💕

[@sandispady9058]

I agree with the velvet dress. It’s timeless and will serve you for years to come.

[@tseyang8355]

Entro this year is stunning!!! i love it, you guys did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all the hard work. Those seed packets are just as lovely and thoughtful gift i think.

[@drej6216]

“Izzy whizzy let’s get busy!” That is from Sooty the hand puppet!

[@reallivingreels4543]

London does the best christmas for sure! Nothing like it.

[@AviMac123]

Love, love, love your makeup. The MUA did such a great job ❤

[@christinemack2153]

Your VLOGS are works of art. Ali is always the best looking guy in the room.

[@viccifranklin3165]

You are sooo right Lydia. London is one of the best. Love the velvet dress.

[@marlomasotti9855]

I would wear that Dior dress every year for the rest of my life! It’s GORGEOUS!!!! Made for you! 🎉

[@Citrus1992m]

You outdid yourself with that beautiful intro. And that dress and the styling-spectacular! I was as in love with it as you ❤

[@PamPLG]

The dress is stunning! Classic and timeless! Perfection in my eyes! Good for you🥰 Dior is fantastic in clothing. I love their classic lines of clothing more than anything else they have. Enjoy it! 🎄 Merry Christmas to you! 🎄 New York is gorgeous in Christmas time, I have been there many times. But, I too will take London over New York. It is something special about London and the old buildings and late night culture. 🥰🍾

[@lydiacarels7912]

Lóve the video of London and also só much love and good vibes between you two! As for Ali's looks, God I wish I look this good "coming out of bed". Bless him! 😂❤

[@VKjk]

Dior’s RTW is costly but very good investment as they’re very beautiful and timeless. Life is short… get the velvet gown as you look absolutely STUNNING in it!! Merry Christmas in advance Lydia ♥️

[@newfoundland3030]

Lydia, I do this all the time! I have to pause the vlog to comment! I adored the Parasol. Is that the brand Queen C uses? Your annual trips to London with Ali at Christmas are my favourite; we get to see the spectacular Christmas lights of London and all its finery. I also love seeing the men's shops. Your Burgundy coat is sublime. Lydia, the Dior dress, and the green bag...Wow. I am older than you and can assure you that that gown and bag will be in your wardrobe forever. That is a gown to pass down through the ages. Although I already commented on your lovely intro, I loved you and Ali dancing. So romantic. Also, kudos to Ali; I love a man who doesn't pump your arm like getting water from the ground when you dance. Lol, I would also like to wish Carrie a belated Birthday!!

[@still2shy]

The Dior Dress was made for you! I so love that you can reframe those negative comments, that is Class.. I laughed so hard at your Portie comment at Duke’s, I nearly cried! 😂. Classy, funny, grounded.. 😘

[@kateforsyth1133]

I love that you’re giving from your garden. It’s lovely

[@ReneeLakes]

I use my kislux as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interio

[@USveteran83]

That makeup artist made you look AMAZING!!!!! Your eyes are stunning with her makeup eye look😍

[@jeanmarieh6912]

Lydia, come to NY in December but not for Christmas itself. I prefer London as well but NY is worth experiencing at least once! Happy 2024!

[@emmahillyard9433]

Lydia you have convinced me to get the Nars cream bronzer! It looked absolutely stunning on you xx

[@juliabrady2063]

Your intro is golden! It's perfect, and a brilliant representation of you and our family.

[@cindybrown430]

New York is nothing like London. Enjoy Christmas right there in London. So very beautiful and SAFE!
