My 2023 Summer Bag Choice! | Ft. MZ Wallace & Dress Up Your Purse

[@fuchsiafloyd]

Love that MZ Wallace and all the hot pink!!

[@Somehowadulting]

I've been obsessing with hot pink recently, not sure why. But I love it!!

😊I’ve been on a bit of a shopping spree this summer to refresh my tired bags. I did end up scooping up that Pinko Jumbo Puffer in a soft pink from Zulily - I HIGHLY recommend that bag! It’s just yummy to touch and has tons of room. Everyone ‘pets’ my bag! I can’t blame them. It can get a bit heavy, so I have to be careful with how much I put in it. I also picked up the DUYPxHCC pouchette in petal pink and I’m obsessed! I got the matching key pouch, along with the lavender (not the name, but it is the color and matches the Pinko pink bag perfectly) and cream ones. And finally, as if that were not enough, I scooped up a beautiful black and white Furla tote from Nordy Rack as well as my birthday bag from Mercari: a gently pre-loved LV Speedy 35 in damier ebene. That is the one I am currently waiting for. It’s my very first LV and it will be a great travel bag for sure. And I’m excited to find other ways to use it. Congrats on you success at KZbin! ❤💃🏼👛👜🎉💗

You've been on a shopping spree like me 😂 if you are tired while traveling you can use your Pinko bag as a pillow too! I got a few more new bags that I got recently that I haven't gotten around to filming yet. I really do have issues. I'm suppose to be saving money for Paris. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Have you looked around the Japanese market for the LV speedy? Maybe you'll have some luck there? Thanks for your support and good luck on the drawing!

[@rebeccadaniels7046]

@@Somehowadulting well, I already Purchased the Speedy on Mercari, but I know I’ll scoop up something else soon enough. I’ve definitely contemplated the Japanese market but have not yet gained the confidence to do that. I’ll need to go back and re-watch your video on that, as you did have some super helpful tips. I’ll be sure to let you know how that goes!

[@Somehowadulting]

@@rebeccadaniels7046 yea! Let me know how it goes. I just another haul from buyee. That video will be coming out shortly.

I can't believe how young your channel is! Your shopping values really align with mine so I'm really happy I found you. I think I discovered my dream bags from your video on Actë Nation's Iconic Ally bag - I ordered one of their shoppers because they were on sale, and I'm seriously considering their other bags. I've never found a leather bag that met all of my requirements at a price point I can consider, so that was a huge deal for me!!! Your pink theme for this summer is inspiring me to bring more color into my accessories...

[@Somehowadulting]

I'm glad you're here! I was hoping my "mission" of this channel can really help people. Sounds like I'm doing some important work 😂 totally not. But yes this ally is completely underrated. Well indie brands are underrated in general. I'm glad you found your dream bag, but there are plenty of big luxury you can also consider to get a taste of the difference too. There are plenty of deals buying new and of course preloved is always an option. Yaaa Ive never been a pink person but I do like pops of color every now and then.

[@BeautyLuxeLover]

Congrats on your milestone 🎉

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks! I hope to see you get that really soon too!

[@saphira4627]

I subscribed earlier today and am watching a series of your videos. Love that you focus on lesser known brands that are quality! My most used summer bag so far is my Coach Morgan but I'm looking for another bag that's lightweight.

[@Somehowadulting]

I'm glad you found my channel! With all the insane prices big luxury is charging, we can definitely spend more time looking at indie brands. Ooh I didn't know what the coach Morgan looked like. It's a very trendy bag but also classic one. Make sure to follow me on IG as well. I do post stories on good deals when I find them for yall. Good luck on the drawing!

[@MH65630]

I decided my summer bag will be my Uniqlo round mini shoulder bag in the cream color, and also the DUYPxHCC pochette in the Petal Pink color, which I just ordered last week! So, similar color scheme going as you :) Congratulations on your 500 subscriber milestone! Very exciting.

[@Somehowadulting]

Thanks for your input! I got the Uniqlo bag too; in navy! I intend to use that one for hiking etc. Yes, I am still surprised that I got over 500 people who wants to listen to me in the first place 😳 Good luck on the drawing!

[@MH65630]

@@Somehowadulting it’s definitely a great all purpose bag! I sort of want to get another one either in the navy or black haha. I’m still so surprised at how much can fit into it 😱 It’s really nice to see handbag reviews online that way people considering purchasing them can see how it looks in real life if they can’t get to a store, and also how the bag is holding up for others! It’s great that channels like yours also show more up-and-coming brands that aren’t the big designer houses for alternatives and provide the same chic looks at a better price point with even finer materials and craftsmanship too. Thank you!!

[@Somehowadulting]

Mara Heng big luxury has really started to gouge people with the new prices. It hurts and really ridiculous. I still have my fair share of big luxury pieces but I never pay retail prices. In my opinion, there is a never a need to. If it's full price, then you don't need it. You don't need that negativity in your life 😂 Check out @with a touch of luxury she recently released a video on alternative big luxury as well!

[@MH65630]

@@Somehowadulting agreed! I love my luxury pieces too but I don’t think I’ll be purchasing anymore especially at retail prices. Sometimes I even feel a bit strange wearing my luxury handbags after these price increases unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll def check her out too.

[@Somehowadulting]

Excellent! I hope my content is helpful. Let me know if you have suggestions on topics!

I got sucked in when hello catwalk city x duyp lauched their porchette collab last year! I got the OG large black one and mini pink porchette! (When it finally arrived, i thought it was alright but not really worth the hype...) i did kinda used a pink mini porchette for my (Aus) summer i suppose. I got them hoping it would scratch my itch from getting the LV mini porchette but to be honest, i still think about buying the lv one from time to time! Lol 😂 I hope i am in the draw to win the mini pouch (key clay dupe)! 😅 That would really complete my slg collection and would hopefully prevent me from wasting money to get the LV one!!! 😉😅 Hope you reach 1000 subscribers real soon!!❤

[@Somehowadulting]

The DUYP collection is definitely a nice alternative to all the LV pieces. It's not perfect but again, Melodie is making improvements based on customer feedback which I can totally appreciate. Try looking on the Japanese market for the mini pochette. I still think they're super overpriced for what they are. Yesss you are definitely in the drawing for the mini key pouch! Thanks for all your support for my channel. I hope to visit Australia one day!

[@annydu5361]

@Somehowadulting if you are ever in Melbourne- be sure to let me know and i would be happy to be your tour guide! Lol 😂 THANKS for all the funny stories and videos you have produced so far! 😊❤️

[@Somehowadulting]

Yaaaa I will definitely hit you up.

[@thelightersideofluxury8352]

I was looking for another review of the white pochette in hopes that you might have a different opinion on the color transfer but no such luck. I think this would be too high maintenance for me😢. It’s beautiful but I will have to wait for grey to come back in stock. Thanks for the review!

[@Somehowadulting]

Actually I tried the kiwi protector and it actually worked over the carbonpro. But yes I understand white bags can be higher maintenance

[@pixiebuddha3236]

I don’t do instagram but I’m a new subbie and I’m using my new Portland Leather Goods Nola bag. 🎉

[@Somehowadulting]

Welcome!! Glad you're here. I've seen Portland goods here and there. Never looked into but now I'll have to. Good luck!
