The clyde trench, classic and casual. More modern! Just ordered the beige one myself.. Exciting! :)

🫖 looks great!

Lovely content! ❤ from Austria.

Very interesting to hear your process when you are thinking about buying new items. Do you enjoy the process of researching items? It strikes me that it is a bit like a treasure hunt and a very mindful process which would help with your enjoyment of your purchases. No need to rush to level up everything at once. Taking time to think and try things out is so worthwhile and can lead to positive change in not only our physical spaces. Good to see you have settled on one trench coat. Lovely choice. Enjoy and have a great week. ❤

I love all of your upgrades and enjoy watching your process! You are really thoughtful about your purchases, which I think is kind of hard to do. On a side note, I'm wondering if you will be getting another pet in the future? -- Barbara

Good points! ❤ I have MS, had to let go of some favourite purses and switch to a light small crossbody. I wore the nylon Baggalini I got to fill the gap (try it out) for 2 years while I thought about what I wanted in a good leather. I just bought it last month and I love it. It’s the Cassie 19 by Coach which has 3 interchangeable handles; the leather crossbody, a chunky chain shoulder, and a delicate handle for clutch or wrist wearing. Black pebble leather with brass hardware. Hopefully it will be my purse for a lifetime. I’m glad I waited, saved up and didn’t settle on something lesser that would need replacing and wouldn’t bring daily joy. Leveling up the daily use items slowly and carefully really does add joy to life. I’m keeping my Baggalini- it’s perfect for travel - it goes through the washing machine, it has RFID protection and is a proven quality but for daily use I am enjoying the look and feel of my new leather bag.

P.S. I was in a shop yesterday called Finnware at Astoria, Oregon USA because I love Scandish style and I saw your new dishes there and thought of you!

Yesterday I was watching the Wonderful You Tuber and influencer, Josie who lives in the Cotswolds and she was trying on new clothes from Suzanne and I recognized the Mac you had bought! She too may send it back. I'm glad you decided to keep the trench coat, it fit your petite frame so much better!

Happy to see your trench decision. ✅

I bought a couch cover for my Ikea couch. The cover is of fabric from Designers Guild. It cost me an arm and a leg, but 6 years later, I still love my couch! And it works great for overnight guests

This is such a quality channel. I want to thank you for that. The idea that I am levelling up is one that I will carry with me as I declutter and refine my home.😊

The Scott is the one I would keep, it looks perfect on you. Whichever you choose, I am sure you will get plenty of wear in cold old Melbourne.

Forst one

What lovely accomodation you had in Sydney. I don't think I've been to Paramatta since the 80s so I know I wouldn't recognise it. I have fibro so understand how daunting and hard it must have been for you travelling alone. Glad it went okay for you. Love that you take such good care of your clothes - it's not something you see very often on youtube. The top pantry drawers are definitely good for surplus stock /supplies. I can't wait till my apartment feels like yours.

Keep the Scott and next spring or fall add the Clyde to your wardrobe.

The beautiful Scott trench coat is the style to own first because it’s a classic and it’s versatile. The Clyde is nice as well but, only as a second trench coat to own. I just bought the Scott in navy and It was perfect to wear everyday last week on vacation in Scotland!

I think the Scott looks really lovely on you

The camel Scott is gorgeous on you but the beige other one might be more comfortable. I guess it depends where and how often you will use them.

I definitely prefer the first one. Both in terms of the colour against your skin tone and the overall fit. It's far more flattering on your petite frame. The other two seem far more casual (horse riding???) and the cut seems to overpower you and disguise your features. From my own experience, as a petite lady, I have often made the mistake of purchasing clothes that are far more suited to taller girls or loose and flowy (but don't accentuate my best features). Yes, yes, definitely the first one!!! ❤

The camel Clyde.

They are all gorgeous E! I personally love the Clyde, it’s stunning, and has an amazing detail inside. Easy to throw on and very versatile. Wow, beautiful packaging too. I also like your the original trench, lightness and colour so, personally I would keep original and buy the Clyde in beige as a statement piece . You can also put a wide belt on the Clyde for definition. The Scott is perfect fit, but shade is quite dark. But they all look great! ❤

I like the shape and length of the Scotch, BUT the plaid lining and light beige of the Clyde! I thing the first one has and nicer shape and fit on you!

i like the more structured one. but the 2nd beige is good for every day.

The first one - the Scott looks best on you in terms of style. You’re petite and it doesn’t swallow you up. It’s chic. The colour is nice. It adds a warmth- which is visually appealing in cold dreary weather. The lining of the Scott will slide over knits and bulky layers better than the cotton poly lining of the Clyde. Try both over some of your more “sticky” knits that resist slipping into a coat to see if it’s an issue. I would go with the Scott and let go your original coat (sell or donate) and return the Clyde if I were you. If unsure then put your original coat aside till you’re sure & ready to let it go. The Clyde coat swallows you up, the lines are sack like. Maybe a very tall person would look good in it but even then I have my doubts. It’s a sack. No style lines to suggest your nice figure underneath.

I love the first one. It's so flattering on you! It looks so elegant, classic and well made. The fact that you can tie in front or back gives it a different look. The second one I think is not as flattering. It doesn't look expensive, even though it is. I guess it depends on what look you want. Do you prefer the looser, more casual unfitted look or the more refined elegant and classic look? -- Barbara

Scot

I like the Scott trench but wish it was beige, it doesn’t come in that color? I love the turn up sleeve of the Clyde and the beige color of the that style, but those coats look like a bag. Sorry. Maybe a smaller size in that one? If I was you I would keep the Scott and your old one. Two different colors and weight. If you don’t wear the old one enough, declutter it in the spring or summer.

Slide in beige looks good and easy, belted creases the clothes underneath.

I understand your dilemma. Even though they are all trench coats the styles are so completely different. I think it all depends on when and where you're planning on wearing the trench and what sort of vibe you want to feel on those occasions. My preference goes to the 1st coat you tried, the Scott, to me it feels more versatile: it would work just as well to pop round to the shops or go for a walk around the neighbourhood as an evening out with friends or family for instance. It feels more chic and feminine but can be given a relaxed vibe with a pair of sneakers and a chunky scarf around the neck. It would also look amazing with pumps, booties or even boots. Works well with skirts/dresses, jeans or a smarter pair of trousers or even over a pair of sweat pants. The lining is also made of nicer fabric. The Clyde gives a more relaxed vibe overall and looks super comfy. You could definitely wear more layers under it without feeling uncomfortable. I'm not sure about the length of it on you. The camel version looks like it almost swallows you up, the beige one looks much better. The Clyde feels less versatile and I don't know how practical it would be to be driving while wearing it considering the length and the fact that there are no buttons at the split (I don't drive so... 🤷🏻). To me it gives more of a countryside vibe (and there's nothing wrong with that, I love that style!). I can picture someone wearing it over a thick jumper, a pair of jeans, a warm scarf and a nice pair of wellies to go for a long walk out in nature. I find it more difficult to picture it with a skirt or a dress, possibly because of the length. But I could be wrong. I'm no stylist ☺ Am I wrong in feeling that you seemed to have a bit of a preference for the Scott? I felt that you went into much more detail when you described it. Those are my thoughts. It all comes down to how you want to feel when you wear the coat, when and where you think you would be wearing it and so on all the while trying not to fall in the fantasy self trap (and that's not always easy...). If you go for the Clyde I would recommend the beige one. Good luck 🍀 and sending hugs 🤗🌺

I like the first one with it tied in the back.

My personal choice for you would be the rain Mac (Clyde) in either colour. It is chic indeed.

I plan to go through my winter coats and jackets this year. I love a trench coat, had one my whole adult life. I have a vintage Mac-style raincoat which belonged to my mother, bought on Regent Street, London, in the early 60s. Not a trench, but timeless. My everyday trench is M&S which I purchased in the 80s. The quality of the M&S trench is out of this world, they don’t make anything like it now. The coats and jackets i declutter regularly are the puffer ones, because they only ever last one year before looking less than great.

What a difficult decision! This is the sort of dilemma I have very often when trying to declutter items of clothing. For example, I have several long-sleeved tees. They have slightly different necklines, fabric and weight. I prefer different tees depending on the weather and occasion or activity. I wear them all but would prefer to have fewer items in my wardrobe from which to choose. The trench coats that you are considering are all gorgeous and look very elegant on you. They are also very versatile and practical. Personally, I think the first one is the best choice because it looks smarter for more formal occasions while also being suitable for more everyday use. The look can also be varied by tying the belt in different ways. The second coat looks so comfortable and could perhaps accommodate bulkier winter clothes. It is also a better length for colder, wetter weather. I really like the camel colour on you, although I guess the lighter colour would match a wider colour palette (perhaps check the colours against the clothes you will wear this autumn/winter). Not sure what I would do in your situation. Love this sort of content.

U should keep both scott and clyde in beige, clyde looks better in beige definitely, get rid of the old one

I love yiu so much

🫖🍷 I love your videos so much! They are so peaceful and I always get inspired to take care of my home. 🤎

What country are living in?! My guess is New Zealand. So beautiful to live by the river.

Thank you, very helpful video when thinking of moving from a house with garden to an apartment.

Your pantry looks lovely ❣️

Hola 👋, me ha gustado mucho, gracias por compartir 🍃🍂

Welcome home Lilibet. Good to hear that you had a nice time in Sydney at your conference and revisiting old haunts, and that your capsule wardrobe worked so well. Ludwig and all your plants are looking so happy. Your sister really has the knack with them, as do you. I am impressed that you have managed to clean, declutter and organise your pantry after coming back from your trip with low energy. Doesn't it feel good to get things back in order! I hope it stays organised for a while for you. You really do have a lovely home, enjoy.

Sorry to hear you have CF Lillibet, it really plays havoc with the lives of sufferers. Seeing the views of Parramatta was eye opening, my parents used to live near there, I grew up in country NSW and spent a lot of time in Sydney. Re your little apartment is seems to me that the more space we are given the more we try to cram in, you are doing very well. It would probably do all of us good to have to downsize at some point. Stay well.

Love your home. I have been to Sydney 2 times. I have relatives there. I love Australia ❤ I am from USA

Welcome back to Melbourne, Lilibet!!!! Oh my goodness, it's been years since I've visited Sydney! I am so glad you have achieved a sense of closure with this recent trip. It's so important for your health and wellbeing to look forward with positivity and happiness 💝 I am stopping this wonderful video part way because I have a friend visiting and I am determined to do a full-on tidy 😅 I must say, I am enjoying the video so far. I love the relaxed, sorting out the laundry, checking on the plants, review of the travel wardrobe focus! I'll watch the rest this afternoon! It will be my treat because I am back at work tomorrow ☺️

One thing I do is I get the bottom of an oblong tupperware, yes I'm born before 90 lol, and I use it to house my soy sauce oil vinegars honey anything liquid that drips a little even though I try to be careful, in the drawer or cupboard. It keeps them contained and it's easy to just pull out the whole container to clean

Love what you’ve done with your home. It’s just lovely.😊❤

I’m delighted that Ludwig is not only ok but thriving. You’ve turned your apartment into a sanctuary of peace and cosiness.

Love your home.

I'm listening to this while I drive my cat to her eye doctor. Normally, my cats meow loudly in the car, but not this time, she is so quiet that I pulled over to make sure she's okay. She seems to like your voice. She knows a cat lover!😊

If it were me, only my opinion, I would put something like light bulbs or things I might need like once a year maybe.
