Items That I Would Never Buy Again

Athletic shoes in 1900: rubber, leather, fabric, nails Premium fashion shoes in 1900: rubber, leather, wood, fabric, nails Athletic shoes in 2022: dozens of EVA foam for better cushioning, 3d printed details and air layers for lightweight, firming details for ankle support , composite materials for breathing, durability and water resistance, seamless technology for extra comfort etc. Premium fashion shoes in 2022: rubber, wood, leather, fabric, nails + enormously high heels 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hermes mini Kelly. Even if I can fit in smth there, to take out anything from there is quite a challenge, and u need to absolutely use ur 2 hands and basically u need to prop it up somewhere to get anything out of it. Purely decorative piece of art.... Lady Dior is slightly better in that respect but also a pain to get things out of. Too expensive for all that hassle. Unless u have the nerves of steel. 😅

I am not a stylist but the problems with Prada shoes and over the knee boots mentioned here are easily fixable. You need ball of foot cushion for both and double tape for boots (which are clearly not for walking). And R13 boots are very comfortable, light and amazing quality. Re tweed bags there is a spray that prevents color transfer and pilling. Plastic frames are usually heavier so if u don’t like the feeling of glasses on your face, look for Japanese sunglasses , they are so lightweight you forget to take them off.

[@ritamuradova]

nope, unfortunately the way those Pradas are made - cushions didn't fix the problem. As a stylist I feel that would be silly of me to say a shoe hurts me and not at least try cushions first. (that goes to the over the knee boots advise of yours as well). And re all your other advice (for example Chanel tweed bags) - my clients and I tried and that didn't work long-term. So not all of the options listed by you are universal and fix every problem:)

[@hypersynesthesia]

@@ritamuradova also people’s feet fit shoes differently and some people can adapt to discomfort more than others. Plus if a shoe isn’t well-cut to perform with the natural movement/form of the foot, all the shoe aids in the world won’t solve it; it’s a badly engineered shoe. For me, if it’s uncomfortable I can’t ignore it or get through my day in it, and those gel cushions make painful shoes slightly more tolerable- NOT comfortable. I can’t wear Dr Martens or Chuck Taylors bc they’re just too abrasive and painful! It’s good to have an honest warning about uncomfortable shoes.

The first thing that comes to my mind is Jaquemus le Chiquito bag. I bought it online and haven't seen it in-store before so I didn't have any clue how small it is :) That was my first bag in this price segment so I was happy, but now I'd have bought a more practical and basic bag.

[@luciaman5750]

Thank you Rita!

[@archeewaters]

this was super informative. the 3 things i regret buying 1) coach bag in purple, which doesn't match anything, so i don't wear it 2) winter coat with shallow pockets that my cell phone won't fit into. 3) boots with hooks for laces. if you walk with your feet close together, the hooks catch each other and you end up falling.

[@andreafreja7472]

the last one is so true... i have tripped so many times using these kind of boots hahah

[@archeewaters]

@@andreafreja7472 ya, they're definitely not catwalk boots! Ha!

[@vanilenvanilen5492]

You are wonderful!!!!

[@janesievierina4031]

Rita, I would love to see 10 leather pieces you DONT regret buying :)

[@ritamuradova]

Thanks, noted!

[@margarita4005]

Jane, there are much more than 10 leather peaces)))

Items I regret...my Staud beaded zebra shoulder bag comes to mind immediately: It's beautiful but the strap, although wide, tends to slip off my shoulder. I need to think about other pieces. Thank you for your ideas and advice.

[@eglecool1]

Oh my god! I've the same bag! I thought that somehow through shipping the strap got loosened up and that's why it was falling down all the time, so glad to hear I'm not alone here

Prada black nylon bag, cross body, with a small Prada bag attached and chain. Was promoted by each and every blogger, how come I bought it ? Worn it 2 times, once cross body with my kids on lazy weekend. Other on a Christmas party, under the wool jacket , covered with a wool jacket partially. Because it was small, and color black, fitted my style at that specific moment. So, I am regretting, after that thinking only about my own style. Also, ugg, if you are leaving in the wet winter, they are so unpractical, when they are dry out with spots and stains, they look terrible 😅. Even the leather Ugg’s , the stains are darker than the boots all the times and even laundry not helping

[@jayrockhammer]

I love R-13 cause they have such beautiful variety and color/floral schemes. Why would you get the most basic plain black boot by them… I would have just gone with a Doc Martin if I was going to get that boring of a model

[@umpchel]

6:03 рита, вы можете купить что-то типа силиконовых стелек чтобы нога лучше держалась на платформе. а чтобы исправить проблему сползания ткани вниз на ногах - можно прямо себе на колени напршикать лак для волос, тогда ткань правда будет нормально держаться 👍😄

[@reallymarni]

Gucci sandals from the outlet…terrible quality 😢 also, I ordered a Gucci belt on the internet and they actually have a sizing advisor that recommended a particular size that didn’t fit me at all… so I had to add extra holes and now it doesn’t look goos at all….

[@andreeam.3889]

Omg, my regret would be the Staud Mini Moon bag…I returned it simply because you cannot fit anything but a phone and keys and maybe a mascara/lipstick. Beautiful shape, cute and stylish but for that price, I’d go for either a bigger size of the Moon bag or get another bag from Staud.

[@marynas8365]

Now I want this Chanel bag

[@epifanny]

Get your R13 boots to a cobbler/shoe repair shop and ask to have them streched

[@AD-ts6bf]

How do they fit? I’m buying a pair used and am unsure if I should size up or down?

[@yogahanna]

These R13 Boots are my favorite boots ever. Very comfortable and light.

[@julia1259]

I second that. I wore mine for a year almost every day, I walk a lot, driving in them wasn’t a problem either. They were in amazing condition when I sold them. I would highly recommend these boots.

You don't pronounce Bottega Veneta correctly and it's kinda weird...

[@SashaPi]

Dr. Martins are very comfortable. All their new shoes are lightweight and comfortable.

[@svitlanablyzniuk9697]

I used to think so before going hiking to the mountains =) after 3 hours of ascending, I felt the difference between them and sneakers or hiking boots. They are really heavy and less comfortable. I've never had a feeling that it's impossible to make a step because the shoes are soo heavy! And the muscle pain was insane several days after that 😆
