My Best & Worst Luxury Purchases

[@Thisreadingcorner]

Not surprised to see the Gucci belt, I rarely see one styled in a way that doesn’t look gaudy just because of the massive logo, I’m just not a fan of the logo mania.

[@tinsleydillon2499]

I literally adore how detailed all of your reviews are! You have taught me so much about luxury fashion, fashion materials, and how to detect quality! You talk about so many technicallities that are based around true fashion knowledge and then practicalities like how the leather makes a squeaking noise when you walk (that had me laughing so hard)! I hope I have your knowledge of fashion some day!

[@SomaraSon]

Emma the reasoning for Hermès being so expensive is because it is one of the only luxury brands left in the world. Unlike other “luxury brands” the Hermès house does everything by hand and in house - not outsourcing anything to China (or similar countries). You get what you pay for when it comes to Hermès unlike Louis Vuitton, Gucci etc. which have almost taken on similar to high street manufacturing processes.

[@KristineMariaKramer]

Brilliant choices, I have some of them and agree whole-heartedly. I also have the GG-Gucci-belt in black, and I regret it too. I was sucked in to the instagram-hype, and have now learned not invest to much in trends that are flashy and so recognizable. Every time I go to wear it, it just feels so 2-years ago. The gucci loafers on the other hand was worth every penny. Although they were very hyped too, they are more timeless and not flashy. I bought the Loewe puzzle in tan in November, I wanted to wait and see if it was just another trend, but I feel like it has aged well for such a popular bag, and so far it seems like the best purchase I ever made. I live in Denmark, and never see it anywhere else on the street, and most people don't know the bag or the brand. Apart from this, one of my worst investments has been an Acne Studios knit. It is 100% wool and itches so so much, and the shape sort of billows out, which doesn't suit me at all. I should have returned it then but I really liked the style on the hanger. I should have stuck with some of their softer and timeless knits, but went for a trend piece.

[@AuthenticInFashion]

Where I live you can get shoes stretched to about half a size bigger by a shoemaker. In case you want to keep the boots, you could take them there. I did it with my Timberland Noreen. I too have a 40.5 and was stuck between two sizes.

[@cathleenvance4441]

I'd been watching your vlog for about a year I think when I noticed your Gucci loafers...I purchased a pair solely because you said they were the most comfortable pair of shoes your owned. I clicked on your link in the comments section but it routed me to an American site and I bought them. I got the Jordaan ..but I have to say they are WONDERFUL...they look great, they are really comfortable and break in fairly quick...and the other item I love is the Ray Ban Rounds....yes I purchased those too and it also routed me to an American site...I wonder if you get credit when it does that...anyway, I thank you for your expertise. So far, everything I've purchased from your recommendations has been spot on awesome.

[@erinb578]

I bought the Acne Jensen boots and they took over three months of crippling agony to break in, wearing them almost every day! But after all of that suffering they are now some of the comfiest shoes that I own, so the suffering (now a distant memory) was worth it but I would never do it again haha! xxx

[@hindkarim7136]

You should cut out a thin piece of felt or suede and use double sided tape to stick inside of the toe cap on your Chanel sling backs. That should fix the friction squeaking. Also, I’m sure a cobbler could come up with a quick and easy solution!

[@ffflyin1697]

I must agree with the Acne Jensen boots. I wanted so much to like them. Funnily enough I felt the shoes looked stupid on me, made me look shorter and chunkier than I was even when I was a Size 6 at the time. To add to that they really did pinch / bite like crazy. The leather is definitely stiffer than the suede; I'm not surprised the suede is stiff as well. Acne seems to have a knack for making nice looking items that occasionally don't really feel executed that well for practicality purposes.

[@bluelunevideos]

So so SO proud of you and your marathon accomplishment! You kicked ass!!! I know you are taking a break from vlog like content but I would love to see some OOTD type vlogs from you. I get such inspiration from how you are making sustainable fashion work for you. As someone that doesn't have a designer everything budget I get such inspiration from how you can thoughtfully select one or two versatile designer purchases and work them into your daily wardrobe.

[@EmmaHill]

Thank you. And I will try and get a What I Wore in shortly 👍

[@kristinam.p.5058]

I love my LV Neverfull! It’s a great work bag. I’m a teacher & new mom, so I don’t get out too much these days. The tote adds a nice amount of glam to my every day!

[@JamieConn]

So happy for a new video!! I hope you and Simon do a home vlog soon. Miss seeing you both and the doggies. 💛

[@oninagiri]

Emma, nothing trumps your sense of humor! Positively enjoyed this video! Loved hearing about your favorites - that Céline pair is just gorgeous. 💖✨

[@annabanana8013]

I had a similar issue with a pair of mules as with your Chanel shoes. I bought a pair of nylon toe covers on Amazon and it fixed the sound problem! They also have little grippy dots on the bottom so the mules don't slide off!

[@jessicablake8861]

I literally gasped out loud when you said those Chanel sling-backs were one of your worst purchases 🤣🤣 however my Chanel pumps are one of mine 😟 they absolutely kill my feet!!! Nice to see you back on youtube! Xxx

[@bailee416]

My best purchase is probably my LV Speedy. I’ve had it for two years and it still makes me so happy! My worst purchase was a pair of Louboutins that I bought for my wedding. Even after spending months trying to break them in, I have never been in more pain in my life! They are absolutely awful!

[@sofmarsofmar]

If you’re looking for a comfortable and affordable dupe of the acne Jensen boots, look at the Marc fisher Yale bootie!! They’re so comfortable and look the exact same (they even have the metal bit in the front) they just don’t have the acne branding on the back. They also come in a variety of colors. Highly recommend!!! Super comfortable as well.

[@barbaraboyer627]

Sofia Maricevic I have the opposite experience than you between the two boots. I tried the Marc Fisher Yale botties at Nordstrom’s and found my toes skewiched and the leather stiff. I ended up purchasing the Acne Jensen. Even though the boots narrow to a point, my wide toes had room and the leather molded easily to my foot. The price point is not the same either. 😕

[@M3l155a]

The rubber sole on the brixton is so mandatory! I got mine done and now they're a dream to wear. I have to get the inner sole redone since it shifted, probably due to sweat. I really want the Chanel sling-backs. I hope when I finally try them on, they don't make that walking noise.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Thanks for the heads-up on Acne sizing. For me, no half-sizes, no purchase. We have to insist on correctly sized, comfortable shoes by voting with our pocketbooks.

[@karenpoullet1837]

Phew!!!....glad you mentioned the ‘Chanel’ shoes because they are on my ‘bucket list’!!!..... Mulberry handbag here I come ..🏃‍♀️🥰

[@sna7142]

Hi Emma, I'm surprised that your Celine box bag did not make it on this list... What do you think of them still? Would be great to see a thorough review on the bag. Thanks!

[@EmmaHill]

I am loving it but just need a little more time with it before it becomes a best (or worst). But there will be a full review once I have fully tested it 👍

[@victoriagreen390]

Great vlog! Thank you! Regarding Acne boots.. I have a tip to make shoes bigger if you interested. Once I got on sales leather boots size down (normally I’m wearing 38, but these ones were 37). When I have worn them for the first time I thought I’m dying. 30 m and I was literally in tears, went back home to change. But boots were really nice so I’ve decided to give them a chance. What did I do (it seems to be funny but it works! I have been wearing that boots for a few years after): 1. Use hair dryer for ~10mins to make shoes softer. 2. When put warm socks on and wear shoes for some time at home. (Then may repeat). Or you can put shoes on with warm socks, put hair dryer on the floor and do some steps near dryer. I’m telling you. After all my booties fitted so good on me. 👌🏼

[@EmmaHill]

Great tip, thanks! 👍

[@essentiallyann2650]

Loved this!!!! LOL laughed so much at your description of the noisy Chanels, but that kind of thing is so important!! I have worn my Chloe Susanna boots twice (in 4 years) due to the extreme cacophony caused by the rattling buckles!!! Worst price per wear ever!! My current absolute fave designer purchases are the Saint Laurent Nikki bag in black medium and the Saint Laurent Lucas ankle boots, also black. It's true adoration!!

[@jharnajones7865]

Love my Chanel sling back but definitely not for all day...However i have worn them many times in many different occasions. I find it completely elevates the outfit you are wearing. I m thinking of getting black ones but I think Gucci loafers first 😊.

Great reviews; thank you! Good luck today! I miss seeing the babies. I saw the update on instagram, but i miss them in your vlogs.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Hey, Emma. That flick on the e in Celine (my keyboard doesn’t have it) is called accent aigu in French, or acute accent in English. It changes the pronunciation of the e to the a sound in cake, make, take. The accent mark slanting the other way over the e is called accent grave, that e is pronounced like English e in red, bed, head, and so is the accent circonflex (circumflex in English), the one like the little triangle (called a caret). The unaccented e in French is weird to us Anglophones, sort of e/i/u together. So, Celine with the accent aigu is pronounced SAY-leen, (oh, saline works), hope that helps.❤️

[@KySheDiver]

Gucci Jordaans! Absolute favorites. They do take a wear or two to break them in, but mine feel like bespoke shoes.

[@hillarycheah6453]

omg the noises that come from the Chanel slingbacks are sooo true! I was eyeing up on the slingbacks in the beige colour but recently I saw a lady in the streets wearing these shoes making the most unusual sounds!!! :O

[@thelovecatsinc]

I have to agree on the Gucci loafers! I bought the collapsable back ones for a trip to Paris and wore them for the first time and walked 20000 steps with zero pain, they were so so comfortable. I have another pair of the harder back ones and I must admit, they have taken a bit more to wear in. I also have the Acne Jensen boots in both the suede and the leather and I think the suede was comfy from first wear, but I'm still in the process of wearing in the leather as they're much more stiff. Lovely video as always! xx

[@coolingwinds]

I love, love, love my Loewe dupe! I only paid $32 US on Amazon for it and it’s made by Yoome. I fell for your Judith, but thought I would try out the dupe before investing in the real thing and I love it. Only drawback is that I can’t use the shoulder strap, so I keep it on the crook of my arm instead. The strap is not secure enough for me, otherwise the size and color is perfect!

[@vickieryan4335]

I think the Celine Edge glasses are fabulous, and they look great on you. I think they heighten the glamour factor. I see the slant, but it exposes your brow line, which adds to the glamour. Please wear them!

[@katharineleeder9348]

[@candykingtheatre]

Good luck today Emma! Marathons are tough - REALLY tough - and it's cool you've set yourself the challenge. With buys...I got myself an immaculate second hand Stella McCartney Falabella, and loved the style. Then I started using it, and found it super practical too. About £170 including p&p. Best bargain ever. I think I remember either a video or blog where you said you didn't get on with yours. Really shows how different things work for different people xx

[@TheMidlifeGallivanters]

Hope you managed to do the whole marathon. Sorry if I missed updates. So proud of you. I honestly think that those Gucci loafers are the best! I don't have any luxury items, but these would be them if I could afford it xo

[@bryonynewton1227]

I’ve got the & other stories dupes of the Acne boots and I love them, they’re so comfy. I wore them to death this autumn/winter! Good luck with the marathon x

[@dluckygurl8]

I have the Gucci Jordaan and I didn't need to break them in. I wore them the following day after I bought them and, because there was a traffic jam due to road closure and I was running late in fetching the kids, I left my husband in the car and ran to the kids' school instead...in my new pair of Gucci loafers!!! Surprisingly, my feet didn't hurt one bit nor did I get any blisters. They fit like a glove and are my most comfortable pair of flats and I just love, love, love them to this day, two (or three?) years later! But like yours, I need to have them re-soled. I'm contemplating on buying another pair in a different colour (perhaps brown or white?) for a more casual or spring-y/summery look.

[@SmileLC100]

[@syearty5621]

All the best for the marathon today, Emma! Loved this! Another fabulous video by you and Simon -- thank you! Loved all of your top picks and your "why's"! That's so great to hear the details, and it sort of gives the rest of us permission to dispense with an item if it's not flattering or comfortable! I noticed that 2 of your "worst" list were things you got tempted into by Instagram, LOL! I agree that the final pair of sunglasses were not flattering -- they just look so angular they come across as harsh. You wear everything so well, so it must be the fault of the sunglasses! I also agree that giant logos rather enter the room before their wearers do, and you certainly don't need to depend on those! I wish you many blessings and much success! 🌻

[@elenamolecular9077]

I am so terrified of making a bad luxury purchase that I’ve never bought anything.... There are days when I am convinced: “today is the day that I buy that Chanel”, and I go to the store, and then I walked by LV, and I think “maybe I get a better use of a sturdy LV”, and then the pretty Diors are standing there, just looking at me, and I am paralyzed, unable to decide and too afraid to spend so much and later regret it. I know, YOL, and that is why I always spend my money on vacations instead. (But maybe I need a Loewe bag, it would be appropriate since I am from Spain, rigth?...)

[@karinsolli2874]

Do it! Always nice to support the locals! The bag holds so well because of the pieces, the sutures bend and the leather is spared!

[@TheBlushersJournal]

I personally think a vacation is a better purpose than a bag. You mostly pay for the brand. I love my furla's: great quality and reasonably priced.

[@karimabou8784]

If u haven't bought a luxury bag yet even tho u can afford it means you're not really the type of person who would pay lots of money for a brand. There are good alternatives where u pay a fair amount for the quality of the bag not the logo. Anyways it's your money but spending it on vacation seems alot more like a better idea.

So embarrassing when I wear them at work - and I really love them.

[@Frick_79]

Really interesting to see your best and worst, surprised about the boots and shoes, that’s the worst thing when something looks so good but hurts like hell 😫 My worst was probably a designer bag in a light cream that just got ruined by denim transfer over the years. I always am really wary of bags now and stick to neutral ones but not too light that everything shows up on them. I actually thought you pulled off the glasses pretty well! Hope your sprained ankle is getting better and you’re enjoying post marathon relaxation (minus the ice bath 😉)💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️🐾🦵
