I like this type of video. It's like a peek into a glamor girl's day shopping around 🛍

[@bornblushing]

Hi! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video. I love a good shopping day, even if it doesn’t result in any exciting purchases. 😉 Always lovely to hear from you! 💕

[@Biologiquefreak]

I loved the way you filmed this video! And the transitions with music! It was so relaxing to watch! I hear you on parallel parking lol. That’s pretty much all we have where we live but for some reason I have the worst time parking on the right side of my car versus my left 😂 I will purposely park further to avoid parking on my left lol. Love the leopard print dress!!! I mean they all looked beautiful but that one was so hot! I love how your seeking friendships on bumble. I don’t have many in person. I work in person so I have friendly encounters at work but none have flowed into like personal life. Most of my friends are online and live so far away lol

[@bornblushing]

Parallel parking is everywhere here as well, and I hear you on having a preferred side! And oh yeah, I have definitely parked much further away from my intended destination just to avoid parallel parking with a stream of cars behind me on a busy road. No thanks! Thank you! I have such a weakness for leopard print. Most of my friendships are international as well. I don’t know why finding local ones is so hard! Friendly work relations do fill up my social tank most days, but finding a makeup/skincare sister in the city is harder than I expected. 😂

Bebe!! 💞💞 I loved this upload!! The blue eye look was perfection especially with your dress!! 💙 I love your sunnies too 😎 so cute!! That pineapple curd on toast looked so good!! I adore anything pineapple 🍍🍍🍍🍍 And though I'm not a real foodie I do adore Williams Senoma...i have a very special crystal cut martini glass i bought at their flagship store in San Francisco. I use it for lime raspberry Cosmopolitans...very Sex and the City circa 1994 🤣🩷🍸

[@bornblushing]

Ahh so glad you enjoyed it! I’m a sucker for anything pineapple as well. Your martini glass sounds perfect - sipping on your lime raspberry Cosmo while wearing your Manolos and you are living THE perfect Sex and the City fantasy! Thanks for always being here bebe. I hope you are doing well! How’s your YSL Babylone Roses quad treating you? Still loving it? 💕

[@pinksparkle258]

OMG I am LOVING the YSL so much!! It is so pink & so sparkly!! I just decided the other day there is no reason to buy another eye palette more than a quad...until the new Natasha Denona "I Need a Nude" was released...it's on the way!! And I had been so good with my no buy 🥴

[@bornblushing]

@@pinksparkle258 Girl you have been doing SO well this year! I think the ND palette is a lovely choice as it looks so versatile, and I know you love your cool tones! It caught my eye as well. I am so glad you’re loving your YSL quad! Those quads look so sparkly and pretty! Prada has also caught my attention…love the colour options in their quads!

[@pinksparkle258]

​@@bornblushingI do like my cool tones...you know me 😂

[@hijennwu]

hahaha your comedic commentary is one of my fav things about your videos. i’ll have to re-listen to Gwen’s album w/your lyrical context in mind 😂 my fav thing at Anthropologie was that poppin yellow purse until i realized it was yours 😜. i do find their fashion fits generally odd, but enjoy their home decor. i could totally see myself asking the staff why the slits are so low tho lol almost like they were meant for bikinis or some such. beige living rooms is the equivalent of neutral eyeshadow palettes for 2023. it made that colorful shoe boutique at the end even more exciting haha. carmelized apricots sound divine too! i’m delighted you got the pineapple curd as i was eyeing it from the footage as well hehe. glad you’ve gotten enough of the bumble experience to see where it goes w/the overwhelm! i’m a serial two dot texter but can’t imagine just saying “hey” or being in it for the follows. curated sounds more memorable and inviting. 🥰

[@bornblushing]

I listened to that album SO much when it was first released. It’s like Gwen was preparing me for my adulthood. 😂 Some of the fits at Anthro are very odd, I agree. I love how they’re not cookie cutter pieces, but some of their items are just plain unflattering. That bag is a huge love of mine! It’s a bright lime/yellow green, and I wear it with almost anything. Oh my god, YES, you’re bang on with the neutral eyeshadow palettes and beige bedrooms! I swear the quiet luxury trend has catapulted this beige obsession as well. I love your admission of being a serial two dot texter. 😂 You’re wonderful at keeping conversation, though, unlike the TDTs I’d encountered! Thank you as always for watching! 💕

[@TheStyleStumbler]

YES!!!! Parallel parking in the city is a nightmare and people shouldn't be allowed to gawk. 😂 Yay for the Gwen Stefani reference! I haven't heard those songs in a while. I'll have to take a listen in the context of shopping. What a gorgeous makeup look for such a beautiful blue outfit. Those puff sleeves are calling to me! I was also a little shocked at those deep v-necks when I went to Anthropologie. Balance is the ultimate challenge for me, too. In makeup and in all things. 😂 This was a lovely vlog, Brittany! You curate footage as beautifullly as you curate makeup and clothing.

[@bornblushing]

Seriously, there should be a bylaw introduced for that! Such a rude offence. 😂 The deep Vs are a huge no no. Who thought this was a good idea? Thank you so much for watching as always, Stephanie! I love that you used the word “curated” as I did exclude many filmed clips when putting this together, so I’m glad the ones I chose to keep resonated with you. 💕

[@TheStyleStumbler]

@@bornblushing I would vote for that bylaw to be put into effect. And there needs to be a special penalty for parallel-parking-watchers who have a judgmental expression while watching. It's always a pleasure to watch, Brittany! I know how much time and effort it takes to make videos like this, and you do such an amazing job with every aspect: from the music to the chapters, to what you share. I really enjoy seeing your creative journey here on KZbin.

[@bornblushing]

@@TheStyleStumbler Yes, completely agree! Thank you, Stephanie! You’re the best. So glad to have you on here! 💕

[@sonia.butler]

I am dead 😂 hahaha the parallel parking bit is so me! I rant about this all the time 😂

[@bornblushing]

Glad I’m not alone in my parallel parking rage! It fills me with all sorts of anger when this happens. 😂

[@AngelissimaASMR]

That's such a pet peeve of mine too - when people stare and don't offer help or when they stare and don't say hello... it's like they don't even know how bad their manners are, or do they? That Leopard dress was divine and with your blue eyeshadow!! Love it. I'm loving these vlogs girly. Love your personality! ✨💕

[@bornblushing]

Thank you, Cheyanna! I’m so glad you enjoyed this. I hope you are doing well! I miss your videos. 😘

[@AngelissimaASMR]

@@bornblushing aww thanks! I hope you are too! I just moved but finally feel like life is getting back to a routine and I want to start filming again soon 🤞🏼💖

[@bornblushing]

@AnniesQuietLife I hope your move went well and wasn’t too stressful! Looking forward to your next video! 😘

[@AngelissimaASMR]

@@bornblushing you're so sweet, thank you love!

[@KimStam]

This video concept was great watching! I had a good giggle along with you as you were trying on the clothes - alot of the latest fashion is quite revealing in the bust area and a bit of a gripe of mine that I complain about to my friends often too :)

[@bornblushing]

Hi Kim! Yeah, what is with that? The revealing bust area is such a poor design choice. I also have a big gripe with cropped tops, which seem to have crept in more and more over the past few years as well. Thank you for watching! It’s lovely to hear from you again. ❤️

[@smellyskin]

Loved this! The blue look went perfectly with your top! That's so funny about the Gwen Stefani songs, I think you're so right! They could all apply to shopping 😂 I definitely agree that finding balance has been a big thing for me this year and the last several in general! I have never tried the bumble BFF or any of those types of apps, I would be so awkward anyways 🤣 thank you for sharing your wisdom as always! 😘

[@bornblushing]

I think you have done so well with year with balance! Bumble BFF definitely lends itself to awkwardness as it’s a lot like going on blind dates half the time! Thank you for watching. 😘

[@MikiCarrBeauty]

Fun shopping vid! I love your eye makeup💙💙💙! Anthropologie has some really nice pieces, and they definitely need to be tried on in-store & def hit or miss. Their clothes sometimes reveal too much IMO, like in the chest area. Yes to that leopard print dress! Fitting rooms are always way too hot. You have a store that has Chie Mihara! I've been wanting to try those gorgeous shoes! Hey what editing app and music app do you use? Nice video transitions! You are building your subscribers quickly! You'll be at 1,000 soon! Yay!

[@bornblushing]

Thank you Miki! I knew you’d love that blue. 😉 Yes! Totally agree with you about Anthro. Their online images can be so deceptive, so it’s always better to try things on in store. Aren’t those shoes gorgeous? I’m always tempted by so many things in that boutique! I use iMovie at the moment to edit, and I use Epidemic Sound for music! I find their music options much better than the ones in KZbin’s Audio Library. Thanks so much for your support, Miki! 💕

[@nataliar163]

I love this type of video, it was so much fun to watch, you always make me laugh so much! Now I feel like listening to Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B album. I used to be obsessed with it when it came out, especially because I loved her whole Alice in Wonderland inspiration, and of course, I also loved her references to Galliano and Vivienne Westwood, so yeah definitely it's a great album to describe the multiple facets of the shopping experience haha, for me I think Danger Zone would be my current shopping song😂😅, I just want way too many things and with the fall collections starting to come out I'm in trouble! I also loved your blue makeup btw, it looked stunning on you and went so well with your outfit, you have such a beautiful style that suits you so well, and I agree with your frustration about beige (so funny I had just watched that SATC episode!), I usually do love creams and beiges for fashion and home decor, but I also love a pop of color it's so boring when everything that is being offered is all the same and doesn't really allow you to experiment and be more creative. Thank you so much for sharing, it really is such a treat to watch your videos and get to hang out with you. Take care!🥰💕

[@bornblushing]

Natalia! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. ❤ I was also completely obsessed with L.A.M.B when it came out. It seemed so unlike anything that had been released before! Her references, fashion, and overall vibe were so cool and fresh. Fall is also my Danger Zone season, so we are in this together. 😂 Isn't that SATC episode the best? I LOVE that season. And yes! Beige and cream certainly have their place, but it would be nice to have more options! Thank you for your kind words and for always being here, Natalia! It always makes my day to hear from you! 💕

[@nataliar163]

@@bornblushing Oh, I agree, Gwen Stefani to me really is a fashion icon and has always had such a cool & unique style, I also love her classic look from her No Doubt days, and I mean she's the only one who could pull off bright pink hair and braces in her 30s😅. Yes! I've rewatched that SATC season with my sister so many times because it's also one of our favorites, ugh but the whole Aidan & Big situation is so stressful! And also every time I watch it it's like I don't get how Carrie can have at that point like 3-4 different Dior or Fendi bags in almost every episode! I definitely get major envy 😂 Thank you so much for always taking the time to chat, it's so lovely and I always look forward to it! I hope you are well and that you have a lovely week. Take care!🥰

[@bornblushing]

@nataliar163 Oh yes! The pink hair and braces… ONLY Gwen Stefani could turn that into a “look”! Aidan and Big! Such a classic storyline. And I know, I feel like that series set up SUCH unrealistic expectations of this city lifestyle…having a cute little apartment being a writer yet somehow wearing such gorgeous and expensive clothes. Talk about a dream!

[@nataliar163]

@@bornblushing Totally agree!

[@janazahalkova283]

BEIGE on beige on beige 😂🙏 Parallel parking 😂😂😂 You are so funny! Great to spend some time with you ❤❤❤😘 I also switched from Biologique Recharche to La Mer but I am very tempted to buy BR new concealer and also they have new cleansing milks, what do you think about those? 😍🙏

[@bornblushing]

Hi Jana! So nice to hear from you - I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Ooh, I was also tempted by BR’s new concealer, but I suspect that it might be too light in coverage for my liking. If it is reported to have higher coverage and good staying power, then I may consider it! And I was also intrigued by their Lait S.R cleanser since I did enjoy their S.R line back when I was using BR exclusively. My favourite cleanser of theirs is Lait EV, but my all time favourite cleansing milk is the one by Sisley, so I am still using that. It’s just as hydrating as Lait EV with an even more luxurious texture! Do let me know if you end up getting the cleanser or concealer! ❤️

[@nataliar163]

Hi! I'm also quite tempted by the new BR concealer and I asked Bisma Rais (@thedailyskinformative) about it because she's quite the BR expert and she said the concealer is medium to full coverage and definitely buildable. I also think she's doing an IG Live soon about the reformulation of the milky cleansers. Hope this helps! :)
