TIMES ARE CHANGING | I’M SELLING MY BAG COLLECTION | Lydia Elise Millen

[@rsartore12]

Can I just say how much I adore your evolution? So many influencers of your generation are leaning more and more into consumerism and having the trendiest thing for years on end. And here you are, truly finding what matters and streamlining your bag and clothes collection. It's just so much more relatable.

[@userl697]

Very refreshing to see a less trend influenced and more classic influencer

[@jessicamcmunn2584]

Ugh totally agree! I literally love watching the vlogs…their really wholesome. Xx

[@TinaSomethinSomethin]

I was just about to say pretty much the same thing. Lydia, I'm so proud of you for going through the change you've gone through and being open about it. It's inspirational. It is good to realize however that there is no lineairity about this development. There will be a point when you splurge on something else and think differently about the purchase afterwards and that's ok. You don't need to become a monk to be a good and happy person. Just trust the process. That's life. :-)

[@ohdearkaroline]

I feel the same way about Lydia. It’s so nice to see that she is trying to buy more stuff she loves but she doesn’t hold to the things that just don’t make her happy.

[@elizabethvotra104]

Agreed, this is the wholesome content I want to see

[@purple3388]

I would love to see you go through your shoes and the rest of your bags! I like seeing what people curate out of their wardrobe and keep their best

[@fab50]

I cleared my bag collection ages ago and it feels so liberating. As we get older we chase the trends less and only want what we truly love. I still have several Birkin bags that I have only used once and I keep telling myself that I will sell them. I will only keep the one my husband gave me for one of our first wedding anniversaries because it’s vintage and very classic. I hope you have a lovely birthday Lydia. Best Wishes! 💕🍀💕

[@VionaBee]

People that you love are never embarrassing. That comment brought tears to my eyes. So well said. Wishing you all the best for your birthday. 💐

[@stephanief4630]

Since you are replacing the light in your dressing room, will you be putting The old light up for sale? I would be interested in purchasing it for my kitchen remodel. I lost my husband to coronavirus this past December and in the spring we were supposed to start our home renovation. So I am going ahead with our plans and thought that your beautiful crystal light would be a perfect adornment for my new kitchen. Of course I live in the US so it may be hard to ship but I would be willing to work that out. Thank you for your consideration and happy birthday!

[@sandyhossman7771]

I turned 63 on April 9, I am till shocked I am in my 60s but better than the alternative. Happy Birthday to you and Ali.

[@Emlui2012]

If the bag works for you, work the bag!! If the bag Dosnt work for you, don’t let it collect dust 😬 I loveeeee the evolution, the curation and the good things to come 😍

[@Lovecharmaine]

It made me tear up when you’re talking about your grandpa and dad. Made me miss my dad very much 😭🥹

[@katemiller7874]

Ya me too girl

[@hannahmcmullen9892]

I also really resonated with this.... its so true ugh

[@alexarobertson17]

Same! My dad passed when I was 12 and any kind of reminiscent content always makes me miss my dad! ❤️

[@kathleenmary1000]

Brava! Clearing out is exhilarating and freeing! Curating 'stuff', is really an examination of life. Thanks for sharing your journey. Takes courage indeed. K

[@lisa_lac]

Love how your fur babies have a beautiful space to roam and be happy out in nature. Happy Birthday!

[@Grantrule]

The grounds of your home are absolutely stunning. I’m a newer influencer and to see what you’ve built is incredible. So much more goes into it than I ever imagined and I have a whole new respect for what you’ve built.

[@BobbyNichole]

Happiest Birthday Dear Lydia!!! You have been such a constant light for me this past year. My daughter passed away the day after she was born February 2021 & you have really helped me this year. I feel like we are kindred spirits. Thank you ☺️

[@leannejayne3545]

[@sherrycopeland3553]

I am so sorry for your loss. I can not even imagine how painful that loss must be. May God bless you in the coming years and heal your broken heart as He watches over your precious Angel, until you meet again. 💕

[@BobbyNichole]

@@sherrycopeland3553 thank you so much ! ❤️

[@mariadoseva-yonkova5043]

Ohhh dear, so sorry for your loss. I had lost my 1st pregnancy 11 years ago at this time of the year. Don't worry - you will have a new baby, but the pain remains forever. ❤️‍🩹 Many hugs and kisses.

[@juliebrown8381]

The happiness you have found is in what you spend your time doing gardening/creating and giving a beautiful life to your animals,so much love, its not rooted in what you have and that is becoming more and more evident. It's the real deal so pleased you have found your way.💞💝💖

[@alexarobertson17]

I have started to go back to the beginning and binge watch all of your videos and I love seeing how you have changed throughout the years. I heard you say something recently about how you used to focus on being thin and now you focus in being healthy and strong... I just love that so much!!! I wish I had come to that realization earlier, but better late than never. 🥰

[@sugarysugarlips]

You are looking great, so fresh, energised, happy. I'm so glad you have found your happiness within.

[@elizabethnicholas1939]

Wishing you a wonderfully happy and healthy birthday and Easter season. Been watching you over the years as I feel you’ve grown into your true self and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing you go from the young girl chasing something intangible (and I must admit as a woman a lot older than you at 48yrs, I’d often find myself thinking, I hope you really do find your missing puzzle piece - whatever that thing is for you). Now to see you, the contentedly happy and the beamingly joyful, confident woman who embraces your family, friends, fur-babies and life’s simple pleasures it’s the most lovely thing to watch. As a side note, 40 may only be 6 years away but look at how far you’ve come in even the last few years and just dare to dream how your life may evolve in the most wonderful ways yet to unfold. xx

[@kaimberan6192]

The deeper our hardships, the deeper we grow when healing is our priority. Happy birthday Lydia, I've loved watching your growth in recent years. You set a great example and never forget: how people treat others is also how they treat themselves and rarely is it personal. 💛💛💛

[@user-xx1jy9cu8l]

Happy birthday, Lydia! I remember you're custard in the concealer and Sahel and maaaybe barcelona in the foundation ;) Would love the Santa Fe as thats the colour I am! Anyway, love the idea of a curated bag collection, and agree that you don't need justifying. Just keep what you love

[@borolad44]

You wear contentment so well Lydia, I loved this video. Many happy returns for your birthday 🍃

[@patriciateague8677]

Thanks for the reminder that we shouldn't feel the need to justify our purchases. Never thought about the gender response to this issue. So true.

[@karengravelle75]

I am from the states, and visited the UK with my mother for the trip of a lifetime in 2012. I am loving your videos, your home, garden, countryside, pups, wardrobe. It is just lovely to see and makes me want to be back there so badly!! Thank you for sharing it all. Love seeing your garden grow!

[@thelegaultlife3096]

I love this new you, which I suspect was the real you all along. You just ooze a radiance and happiness that I haven't seen in your videos in years. I just wanted you to know that someone has noticed, I have noticed and I'm here for it!!

[@eshaibraheem4218]

What a sweet comment.

[@alinagreen6774]

Happy birthday! I hope you have had a lovely wholesome day 😋 it’s been great to see you grow into a more secure, happy person!

[@d26s10]

Lydia! That sloggi white crop just shows how amazing your surgeon is! Wow... your chest is so well proportioned for your body and literally looks as if it’s your natural chest. I’m buzzing for you... can tell how much freedom and confidence it’s given you with your outfits. Congrats! Much love x

[@cristinaiswatching]

Happy birthday, Lydia! This date brought us the loveliest person to watch, learn from and grow with. May you always be happy, content, healthy and loved. ❤️

[@ttvclaper4redmaster137]

The plaster comment was hilarious! I wondered about that when you said it initially. I am a nurse practitioner and know a thing or two about plasters but dissolvable ones was a new one for me! x

[@sandral8476]

Happy birthday Lydia!! I absolutely love watching your videos. How can we know when you will be selling your bags?

[@TheMicheleWang]

Happy Birthday!

[@susanvelez6534]

Hello dear I just bumped onto your video. I’m 60 and you look just like my friends daughter. We just lost her to cancer and she had just turned 40. She was just like you bubbly/ high end / classy / and into fashion. She was a film director it’s been so very hard watching what she went through. I just want to say live each day like it’s your last. Enjoy life ❤️

[@tiffanysepiphanies]

I literally love that you just sang Supercalafragalisticexpealadocious in order to figure out which word you wanted 😂 I do the same thing!!!

[@vilutti]

a proper kimono has rectangular (square) sleeves, with armpit un-sewn, so air can get in. That is why several layers under are also necessary. (it seems like yours is cut similarly, though the fabric is casual and perhaps the sleeve is a little bit shorter) :D / I wore kimono as a school uniform in Japan for a year.

[@gbaca07]

The selling bag collection is at the very end of the video.

[@CaseyWiggin]

I live how your style is changing. I am in the process of clearing my bags.

[@mounaschilperoort6952]

I never attach to something like a bag, you loved it, enjoyed it... and now it is over 😀 Leaving it on a shelf is a total waste as somebody else may love it again like you did 😊 So totally agree with you!

[@KA-cy8df]

Lydia. Love your evolution I have watched you from the beginning and I feel like you are now stepping into your authentic self, truest self. Letting go of insecurity & judgments and stepping into your power. I’ve always though there was more underneath the clothes brands fashion and when you find your true happiness it shines through. Not only in you style but in life. I always thank and appreciate thing for what they have given me but I love purging it allows space to grow not only to grown but to fill you life with different things. Amazing sending love and light. Also the purge is coming at the perfect time of the Libra full moon.

[@lorespitaels2568]

omg I love the pink boy bag! I think you were the shade tromboli in the nars foundation; if I'm right I'd love the shade vienna as that is my shade. Love your videos

[@DrenchedInPink013]

Didn’t she do a video like this last time and then the bags never got posted for sale????

[@dariyabarberry7284]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@charlottedelaporte2153]

Never too much puppy time on your channel 😍😍 love watching you talk about fashion. So inspiring

[@genellenugent9994]

I don't have things I don't use. There's no point. You run out of storage anyway and your tastes change and evolve over time. That's what you're seeing too. You know what's important so go with it.

[@eliseabrahamsson]

First of all happy birthday Lydia 😊 Second, so impressed of you selling your bags you don’t use. Such a holistic view on fashion. Better pass them on to someone who will wear them 😊

[@UpasanaGayan]

Happy Birthday, Lyds🤍 You inspire me every day!

[@poppymoores1221]

I'm shade Santa Fe! This feels like a sign! And I know at one point you were shade Valencia as I ordered it for myself thinking we would be the same shade- I was wrong! Happy Birthday! 💕

[@Feebysworld]

your robe is a dupe of an Australian brand Spell & the Gypsy collective. I highly recommend getting their robes! They are so good and are a sustainable brand.

[@VondaSims]

Had a couple tears, your grandpa reminds me of my dad who I loved so much. 💚 I don't say it much to people, but you are beautiful inside and out. Also, oh wish so much I could have one of your bags, so beautiful! And agree sometimes polka dots end up looking cheap lol. Great choices.

[@lisahirst2929]

Happy birthday 💕 You remind me of Julia Roberts (when she wears the polka dot dress in Pretty woman). In that outfit.

[@christinagracewhite]

I’m so glad you found the silicone plasters because I was quite confused when you said they’d absorbed into your skin 😅

[@MakeupbyAliciaE]

Lydia good on you. It’s just a bag a material item at the end of the day. It could make someone else happy if you aren’t using it and your intention is to buy them for use then part way. Decluttering is very therapeutic! Happy birthday 🥳

Happy birthday to both Ali and you, Lydia. Your 3 boys are so cute. I have a rescued greyhound, Boscoe, who I adore. Best wishes from Canada.

[@d26s10]

I hear Boscoe used as a name for dogs belonging to American and Canadian families a lot... is it after a popular character or sentimental thing? It’s never a name that would be chosen here in the 🇬🇧

[@blanchard5312]

@@d26s10 Boscoe is my greyhound's name. I have heard many possible interpretations. Here goes: A saint or cardinal in the Roman Catholoc church; A reference to the Seinfeld show as it was George Kastanzas' password; It means forest or wooded area in Italian; It is/was the name of an Irish kids' TV show, It is the name of a cop in an old American TV series called, "Dukes of Hazards". I do not know as he came with this name. His racing name in Florida was, "Jen's Baskin Boy", which was awkward so he was always called, Boscoe. There is a mini schnauzer and a chocolate lab also both named Boscoe in my neighborhood.

[@d26s10]

@@blanchard5312 ahh thank you for explaining.. that makes a lot more sense now that their are several reasons as to why that name is such a popular dog name over on your side of the world! I’m guessing the Dukes of Hazard one is a biggy!
