SO around the Jimmy Choo boot discussion. I am interested to know your thoughts on accepting a gift that I wouldn't spend that much money on myself - even when it's a brand I have shopped with previously and do vouch for their products (so it's not accepting something I don't think is good). From your point of view - would you accept those boots, even if you couldn't justify spending that much money on them - because you still liked them and of course it's lovely to be given something for free like that? I always say to myself "I don't accept gifts I wouldn't buy myself", which normally makes me think of brands that I generally wouldn't endorse, but this case is an item from a brand I DO endorse, but I wouldn't want to spend so much of my own money on myself. Please discuss with me! xxx
Lizzy Hadfield I know what you mean. Brands know their way to get their advertisement out. As long as YOU know the brand well and stand by their marketing strategies, I don’t see the reason why you shouldn’t accept the offer. Hope this helps. Be merry! ❤️
I would accept the boots in your position because if you know you’ll get loads of wear out of them then it acts the same as a good purchase, the benefit of a job like yours is being able to be given these things! If it was something that was expensive but not wearable then I wouldn’t accept it just for the sake of it. (To liken it, I would love a pair of Dear Frances boots but I don’t have the money to buy them right now but I 100% would accept them as a gift lol)
Adding to what has already been said, I think that accepting a designer item that you normally wouldn't splurge on, gives you the opportunity to see if you can get more wear out of it and whether they were actually worth the splurge for people who can afford it. For those of us who can't (myself included), it is also helpful because you can wear it and compare it to similar high street versions of the item like you do in testing basics and decide whether you want to accept something else from the brand later on or not. I hope I made sense lol.
Lizzy Hadfield hi Lizzy, thanks for being so thoughtful about this and opening up the conversation (I hope you don't get any negative kick back from this as you seem so thoughtful and moral about this!). I personally have no problem with you keeping / sharing a piece that you wouldn't buy yourself - I think for me the thing that makes it ok is that you were honest about where they came from and the fact that you wouldn't buy them! Love your content always. Jo xx
I think that the opportunity you have to test out a high end version of a style of boot that’s all over the high street will give people the chance to see if you think it’s worth the spend and how it wears - I also think we consume your content for free as well as whoever else we watch and hopefully are all smart/savvy enough to understand that these ‘gifts’ (press samples) are part of how you are recompensed for the promotion you do for a brand.
Lizzy, I understand that you're sad about the watch. I lost my father in November, and the void and the sorrow is really heavy. So I understand how you feel. But I just wanted to say that your father would not want you to be sad. He'd want you to be happy and to try to forget about the watch. And even if you don't have his watch anymore, that doesn't mean he is now further away from you, if that makes sense. Maybe the watch gave you a feeling of having him near.. But he is near you, and will always be near you no matter what. Maybe thinking of that can help you feel better :)
I really really REALLY hope that you can get back your dad's watch. Please don't blame yourself, airport security is a b*tch to get through and these things happen a lot. Much love xx.
Hi Lizzy, On the Jimmy Choo boots, for me personally I appreciate the transparency of making it clear you have 1. been gifted it and 2. more importantly that you don't think it is worth the price tag. 3. even if it is worth the price tag being conscious that promoting such expensive items is out of most people's price range.
Oh Lizzy, you know how to break my heart. 😘 I had a gold bracelet that belonged to my late mother, it had been given to her by her grandmother mother when her country's currency changed and it held huge huge sentimental value. It was stolen by a close family friend when I was moving away and it absolutely broke my heart. But, it also taught me not to put so much emphasis on an object - instead, I bought a beautiful notebook and wrote down all the memories I had of my Mum. Significant ones like weddings and birthdays, but also very ordinary things like going shopping on a Wednesday or baking bana bread or walking the dog. I'd write down as much as I could about the tastes, smells, feel and sights of the memories and I've ended up kicking myself that I didn't do it sooner because I'd forgotten so much in the decade since she'd died. Might be an idea for you? You can also get together with your mum and Luigi and close friends and ask them to fill in some blanks too.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hi lizzy my Gucci handbag with all stuff including all my cards and my ysl card holder got left in a locker whilst on holiday and it miraculously got returned to me a few days later! So don’t loose hope there are good people out there x
simran kaur my phone was stolen YEARS ago, so I turn things in when I see them. I would’ve anyway, but I make a POINT of doing it. I was with my mom at a local lake and using a restroom, and a purse was on a decorative table, so I knew I’d turn it in when I left. Someone knocked on the door and I did the whole “one moment, please” thing, finished, grabbed the purse, and started walking out. It was the woman who left her purse. “Oh my god, it is here!” I told her I was going to give it to the restaurant owners for safer keeping, and she thanked me. She started gushing, and crying, about how there are good people in the world, and I appreciated it, but I didn’t want someone’s stuff to disappear. I know losing stuff sucks, someone taking your stuff sucks, and while I know not every item is returned, I always hope the special items will be. It’s one thing to lose an essentials bag with chapstick, hand sanitizer, etc., but something more sentimental or important should always be found. I know there are helpful people everywhere, but I do wish everyone was helpful.
I know this isn't the exact same circumstance Lizzy, but last summer my luggage got lost in an airport in Italy. We filled out a report and called the airport each day to see if it was found and they said it hadn't. After 5 days, we decided to go back to the airport and requested to go into the lost and found room and search for it ourselves. We found it after looking for an hour even though they said they did not have it the entire time. So if you manage to get back to Amsterdam, perhaps try and do that? There are so many things that get lost, it could easily be overlooked! Good luck!!!
So heartbreaking with your watch, I really hope you get it back in some sort of way. I work with auctions and pawnbroking and Tag Heuer has serial numbers as well! If you have the certificate of the watch the number is written there. If you find it you can write me and I'll promise to look after your Carrera on the Swedish auction platforms I visit daily in my work, you never know maybe someone try to sell it or pawn it here. I don't know how it works i Netherlands/UK, but in Sweden you can write to pawn shops after you've reported specific things stolen and ask if they've seen it around. People tend to sell stolen watches without papers through pawn shops because auction houses seems to be more particular with authenticity. Again I really hope it gets back somehow. Much love
Your new hair suits you so much! Ever since I cut mine a couple years ago I never went back. Please keep sharing your new reads, I find it super interesting:)
I’m so sorry to hear about your dads watch. I lost my mum and she brought me a necklace. I lost it just a few weeks after she passed and I was devastated. I then found it under my bed. I know you lost your dads watch in the airport but just know it’s not the watch that holds your dads memory’s it’s what you carry in your heart xxx
Oh Lizzy, I really felt for you when you were telling us about your dad's watch. I lost my grandmothers hand twisted 22ct Gold chain she left me, when I was on an overseas work trip. I was devastated, but I wore it every single day for years and thought of her and I would rather have done that than locked it away. I hope it comes back to you, do all you can to find it and then at least you know u made every effort. xx
I’m only about 3 minutes into this vlog, but I had to pause to comment. I am so incredibly sorry about your dad’s watch - my heart broke hearing that story & I just wish there was something we could do to help. I have some items like that that I wear daily and could so easily be in that situation - security is manic (especially if you’re a kind person who is cognizant of other people’s time, which you are
Hi Lizzy, so sorry to hear about your watch. I lost a diamond ring last year. Took it off for a massage, rushed out and I must have flicked it out of my bag when I took out my car keys. Didn’t miss it until after I stopped at a supermarket and got all the way home. Was kicking myself. Rang all the shops I’d been to, in several suburbs, and went to two police stations, one near where I’d been and one near the supermarket. Over a month later I got a call from a police station. Someone had handed it in! So lovely! People can be wonderful. I was on a high for days, almost as much because someone was so kind as getting my ring back. You never know. Sending you positive energy and best of luck.
First- i love the shorter hair in you, looks lovely. And the boots- i think its great that you point out that you wouldnt spend that much money on Them, but why not accepting that gift when you really like them? And you are a hard working woman and Grateful for those gifts, so i think you don't need to justify vor have a guilty conscience. x mira. Excuse my Bad english..
I’m so sorry about the loss of your precious watch. I lost both my parents not long ago and some of the precious keepsakes from them. To help me get through that only one thing worked. Telling myself “it burnt in a fire”. Meaning you had no control. And you didn’t Lizzy. Don’t berate yourself...that loss could have happened at any time in the past or future. You fortunately get to keep all the other good things from your Dad. Features, quirks, gestures, humour, intelligence, creativity (all the DNA good stuff) & of course experiences & memories. Thinking about that helps me pull myself out of the depths with some perspective. I really empathize though. It’s a horrible feeling. 😢. Btw...your haircut is fantastic on you. Modern, flexible, flattering...well done!! 👏👏👏😃
Awww Lizzy so sorry to hear about you losing your Dad's watch - keeping hopeful it will find its way back to you. Hope you are well and loving the new hair xxx
I lost my grandmother's engagement ring a couple months ago and am still gutted about it. It was really very special to me, but nothing to do about it now. As for the boots, I think the way you address it is just right. x
Hey Lizzy, your Tag will definitely have a serial number - I checked mine to make sure. It's engraved on the watch, and should be tied to your dad's purchase of it. I can imagine how painful this all is, so I really hope it makes its way back to you very soon.
I sell watches (on high street) including Tags and I can say that Tag deffo should have some serial numbers on it. If they try to sell online, I doubt they would provide a box or paperwork with it, so should stand out hopefully. Don't lose hope. All I can do is keep my eyes open and tell people I know who deal with Tag Heuer watches to have a look out. Wishing you all the luck for it finding its way back to you xx
Hi Lizzy, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's watch. I know how heartbreaking it is to not have something like that. My situation is the same but I can understand how you feel. I lost my mum last year she was only 55. I was meant to have her engagement/weddings given to me as they were incredibly sentimental. Unfortunately, the undertakers miss read the form and she was buried with them. I know to some extent they are at peace with her but it would have been nice to carry a little bit of her around with me every day. Sending my love. I'm a Christian, so I'll be praying the watch comes back to you in a miraculous way. There is also hope. Love your content, Lizzy, you're amazing. Love, Gemma
Lizzy!! I am trusting and praying that your Dads watch will make it back to you. Watching you for years, and my heart ached as if you were my friend. Thinking of you. Hoping peace and joy fills your heart until his watch makes it back to you. Btw your hair looks amazing!! Love the side swept.
I’m so sorry for you losing your dads watch. I know the pain. I lost my mobile phone after my dad died and it had all his messages on and voicemails with his voice. I didn’t have it saved to iCloud. I sobbed for a while. Don’t beat yourself up xxx Your hair looks stunning x
I had been moving continents and put all of my memorabilia into one moving box - jewelry from my deceased grandparents, my deceased mom, photos, old knick knacks, a wooden box from 1913, and numerous high-end bags. :/ All were lost. I know how your heart is breaking. It happened to me 10 years ago and I still occasionally think about it. Sorry to not be the bearer of better news - it was more to let you know that stuff happens sometimes. I really think you should book that flight ASAP and get on the horn with that watch. Literally - time is ticking. xoxo
Don't beat yourself up about losing your dads watch pleasee :( i lost my late dad's gold signet ring and it took a long time to get over it but ultimately it is just an object it doesn't take anything away from your memories together or the love you have for each other. I also told myself that my dad would NOT have wanted me to be so hard on myself about something i really couldn"t do anything to change. It's all bloody hard though :) Good luck x
Sorry to hear about your dad's watch, fingers crossed it find its way back to you. Your hair is great, it really suits you. Regarding the boots, it is an interesting dilemma. I personally think that it is fine to accept them if you will wear them and enjoy them but not if you wouldn't wear them. I appreciate your transparency, it helps your audience to really trust your opinions. Fxx
Biggest hugs Lizzy I have my late father's brietling watch which he got when he was 21 and it's hugely sentimental, I really hope you get your dad's watch back, I always feel so good when I wear my dad's watch xx
All the pretty horses is one of my favourite novels, its a lighter book from Cormac and very romantic (but still bloody cool and cowboy related), cried about a billion times when devouring it but it was so gorgeously written. Highly highly recommend if you haven't read it yet. Very sorry about the watch, hope you get it back xx
Don't worry about the boots - they are lovely and many jobs have perks; they are yours! Your hair looks so good and really suits you. So very sorry about your watch: I was in Amsterdam last weekend and thought of you whilst going thru the airport - hopefully there will be a happy ending. My husband had keys stolen from his pocket whilst in the city, probably whilst taking a photo from a crowded bridge.
Hi Lizzy. I lost my late stepfather’s watch while travelling so I know exactly how you feel. Please don’t blame yourself as this sort of thing is very easily done. Your dad would want you to be happy and not beat yourself up. Memories of your dad are more important than material things. Lots of love.
Great to have you back here, Lizzy. About the discussion: 1.As long as the item really suites your style and you really enjoy having it around to play dress up with, than it is o.k. to enjoy the giffting side of your job. 2. As long as it is not a case of getting a whole lot of expensive items that not fitting to your style or that not really lays out with your way of life and buying. 3. Keep it true and genuine and open with your audience. Have a graet week!
I hope you get your beloved watch back, I think we are all devastated for you so fingers crossed! You hair is fab and really suits you this length, I have a similar length and it’s so easy to maintain x
Oh Lizzy... your watch story made me cry. I really hope you find it. I have done something similar and lost something precious... I put my late mum's ring "somewhere safe" and I have searched high and low for it and just can't find it. It makes me feel so sad and sick with myself when I remember that it is still lost x
I’m so sorry about your dads watch! I lost my grandmothers tennis bracelet earlier this year and it still pains me so much💔. So every thing you expressed resonates with me exactly xo
I shaved a patch of my leg hair the day I got it cut and didn’t touch it again until my next appointment 10 weeks later. Wow - never knew my hair grew over an inch in that time before my experiment lol! I guess it’s a sign that good nutrition and regular head massages do work!!

I lost a ring from my grandmother at school, it was one with the letter A on it. Never got it back and still am very upset with it. But I'm lucky that my grandmother is still with us today, so I don't think I can compare this with your loss. I hope, with all my heart, that you get it back one day.
Love the new hair do Lizzy! The beachy waves and side fringe are 👌 so sorry about your dad's watch, I can see you're really in pain about it. Pls don't beat yourself up, those security queues are chaos and it's so easy to forget what's in your tray as you're in and out like a whirlwind. Fingers crossed for getting it back.
A similar thing happened to my co-worker but this time she forgot her laptop in the tray at Schiphol and she got her computer back. She went through the procedure as described by the airport on their website. I to do hope you get your watch back.
Lizzy, I'm so sorry to hear about your watch, I hope you can find some way to get that exact one back! Your hair looks lovely at this length by the way, it makes me really want to cut my own hair now and that would be almost 10 inches lol!
Lizzy I lost a precious Swarovski rose gold bracelet while stock taking for the office (we were giving away corporate gifts and I was checking if the quality was good on all bags and the bracelet fell in one of the bags without me noticing) and I was devastated as it had sentimental value. I used the law of attraction to get it back - I intended that my bracelet finds its way back to me. That the person who finds it in his bag brings it back to the office. My focus was without resistance and I kept saying that I intend for my bracelet to find its way back to me. And the Monday a girl found it in her bag and brought it back!!! I cried ! 😭👌🏽💕💕💕 intend that your watch is found and that it finds its way back to you consistently and watch the universe work it’s magic 🤩🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨
re: Choos - I don't consider what bloggers accept and style from brands as a "gift." I want to see your outfits as inspiration and if you have an option to have a beautiful piece sent to you, please take it!
Oh lizzy my heart went out to you. I lost my necklace this year at s hotel and they never found it.😔my husband bought it when we had our first child (15yrs ago) really sentimental to me. I'm so sorry, I hope you find it xx
My grandma passed away young and left her jewellery to my mum. We took it to our elderly neighbours before we went on holiday for safe keeping. Sadly they were burgled while we were away and they took all our heirloom jewellery that meant so much to my mum (& me). Years later someone confessed to the burglary to try and get a reduced sentence for other offences. So we know they got jail time but we never got her rings and stuff back as they had been sold on and on. I can sympathies and assurance that it will be less painful, but no happy news about getting it all back x
I really don't think there is a problem to accept the boots. There are people that would spend that amount of money for them (I wouldn't). So if you love them and would 100% recommend them if you would go out more then it is fine. At the end of the day we want to see good quality products and how you would style what you like, even if it is on a rare occasion, even if it is just for inspiration.
Love watching your videos, Lizzy! How are you able to be so open and honest in front of the camera? Did it take a long time to get used to? I feel like we are having a heart to heart convo half the time xx
Hi Lizzy, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's watch I understand how you feel, my own Dad died recently and I'm now so attached to all the items of his that he left me like his scarf
Lizzy ♥️ I am so sorry about your watch.. I hope with all my heart you get it back... Somehow I'm always thinking about it 💔😘 on the plus side of thinking... your hair looks amazing!! .. And we've missed you!
Lizzy my darling I am so, so sorry to hear about the watch. I know full well that it's easier said than done but try not to beat yourself up too much: airport security is hectic and you're doing everything you can. Good vibes always! Also that haircut is very flattering on you.
So sorry about your dad's watch, really hope it makes its way back to you! The haircut looks incredible, also really liked the black knit with the gorgeous gold necklace. As for the boots I don't have any issue with you accepting gifts that you wouldn't pay so much for. It's your job and provides inspiration for others. I would only have an issue if you were promoting them but actually thought they were really poor quality or something (basically just being dishonest which I know you would never do anyway) x
Hi lizzy, You should try to post on this fb group called GIRLS LOVE TRAVEL, it is a big facebook for women who love to travel (obv). The community is huge, some of them even work for airlines or airport. May be try to ask for help there! Sending you lots of love!!
So sorry to hear about the watch. I once got to an airport and left my bag with flight tickets, cards and money on the hook of the trolley... fortunately after 2 hours it was handed in. So I hope your dads watch will get back to you
I'm exactly the same - tea tastes so much better before you brush your teeth! Like it makes it extra hydrating or something. Also, isn't 'The Road' just the best book?
Gosh Lizzy, literally had to stop watching at 2:46. Had a lump in my throat at the mere thought of you losing such a sentimental piece. I’m sending you all the positive vibes that you get some breakthrough. Replacing the same type of watch is not quite the same and if it’s not positive, I’d probably invest in something completely different for your wrist. Your tears got me.
I want to give you the biggest cuddle and bring you a little chocolate! So a virtual hug and this little comment will have to do - I am so so so so sorry about your dad's watch! I am an only child too and I totally understand the sentimentality behind it! let's put some good vibes out there and see if a little miracle happens x
Hey Lizzy! I’m so sorry about the watch, my heart breaks for you at the beginning of the vlog 😣 sending all of the luck your way! On the topic of lost things, and a lighter note, I can’t remember if the necklace behind the radiator was ever retrieved, would love an update on the necklace saga! 🧡
Oh Lizzie, I am so sorry for your watch. Obviously, you must be so upset. I really hope you manage to get it back. My mom lost one of her most precious items in a taxi once - a silver 30's cigare holder that was her grand father's. She somehow got it back - have to ask her how, I forgot, but I know she had totally lost hope of ever seeing it again ! Xx
Hey Lizzie. I'm personally against non second-hand leather products, but that being said, isn't sometimes the whole purpose of gifts to be nice things you wouldn't necessarily buy yourself? (I'm thinking expensive vegan candles or fancy printed socks in my case - nice to own and use but never something I would buy for myself...) Especially if you like and approve of the brand already 😊
So sorry about your watch, I did exactly the same thing at heathrow a few years back with a heavy solid gold bangle I loved. The staff and security were useless, did nothing to help me, and so I just had to take my flight out of London minus my gold. From that flight and onwards I have refused to remove my bangles, I just say that I can't remove what I have on, I prefer to go through the scanner. I use a rather authoritarian attitude lol, and since then it works!!!

@@philippawood5047 Thank you so much, that's very kind of you!
This is so beautifully said Hilde.
Beautifully written xx
very well said. so sorry for your loss
Aw I’m so sorry about your Dad’s watch Lizzy x
You're a style blogger. The boots are gorgeous. As far as I'm concerned you've put in a disclaimer. So put those boots on girl and give me content.
This hair style is SO flattering on you!!
I really really REALLY hope that you can get back your dad's watch. Please don't blame yourself, airport security is a b*tch to get through and these things happen a lot. Much love xx.
I lost my Dad, and I feel so upset and hurt that you lost your watch, Lizzy. I'm sending positive thoughts that you get it back..
flowers, books, art, style and good music. I always find all of this in your videos ❤️
Hi Lizzy, On the Jimmy Choo boots, for me personally I appreciate the transparency of making it clear you have 1. been gifted it and 2. more importantly that you don't think it is worth the price tag. 3. even if it is worth the price tag being conscious that promoting such expensive items is out of most people's price range.

You are so enthusiastic and sincere therefore I think you can do no wrong. Your
Enthusiasm is contagious, even when you’re crying!
I’m so sorry to hear about your dads watch. I lost my mum and she brought me a necklace. I lost it just a few weeks after she passed and I was devastated. I then found it under my bed. I know you lost your dads watch in the airport but just know it’s not the watch that holds your dads memory’s it’s what you carry in your heart xxx
Oh Lizzy, I really felt for you when you were telling us about your dad's watch. I lost my grandmothers hand twisted 22ct Gold chain she left me, when I was on an overseas work trip. I was devastated, but I wore it every single day for years and thought of her and I would rather have done that than locked it away. I hope it comes back to you, do all you can to find it and then at least you know u made every effort. xx
I’m only about 3 minutes into this vlog, but I had to pause to comment. I am so incredibly sorry about your dad’s watch - my heart broke hearing that story & I just wish there was something we could do to help. I have some items like that that I wear daily and could so easily be in that situation - security is manic (especially if you’re a kind person who is cognizant of other people’s time, which you are
Lizzy my heart is breaking for you, I really hope you get the watch back
So sorry about your watch Lizzy. I had a little cry with you. Hoping so much you get it back xx
Hi Lizzy, so sorry to hear about your watch. I lost a diamond ring last year. Took it off for a massage, rushed out and I must have flicked it out of my bag when I took out my car keys. Didn’t miss it until after I stopped at a supermarket and got all the way home. Was kicking myself. Rang all the shops I’d been to, in several suburbs, and went to two police stations, one near where I’d been and one near the supermarket. Over a month later I got a call from a police station. Someone had handed it in! So lovely! People can be wonderful. I was on a high for days, almost as much because someone was so kind as getting my ring back. You never know. Sending you positive energy and best of luck.
First- i love the shorter hair in you, looks lovely. And the boots- i think its great that you point out that you wouldnt spend that much money on Them, but why not accepting that gift when you really like them? And you are a hard working woman and Grateful for those gifts, so i think you don't need to justify vor have a guilty conscience. x mira. Excuse my Bad english..
I’m so sorry about the loss of your precious watch. I lost both my parents not long ago and some of the precious keepsakes from them. To help me get through that only one thing worked. Telling myself “it burnt in a fire”. Meaning you had no control. And you didn’t Lizzy. Don’t berate yourself...that loss could have happened at any time in the past or future. You fortunately get to keep all the other good things from your Dad. Features, quirks, gestures, humour, intelligence, creativity (all the DNA good stuff) & of course experiences & memories. Thinking about that helps me pull myself out of the depths with some perspective. I really empathize though. It’s a horrible feeling. 😢. Btw...your haircut is fantastic on you. Modern, flexible, flattering...well done!! 👏👏👏😃
Awww Lizzy so sorry to hear about you losing your Dad's watch - keeping hopeful it will find its way back to you. Hope you are well and loving the new hair xxx
I lost my grandmother's engagement ring a couple months ago and am still gutted about it. It was really very special to me, but nothing to do about it now.
As for the boots, I think the way you address it is just right. x
Hey Lizzy, your Tag will definitely have a serial number - I checked mine to make sure. It's engraved on the watch, and should be tied to your dad's purchase of it. I can imagine how painful this all is, so I really hope it makes its way back to you very soon.
I sell watches (on high street) including Tags and I can say that Tag deffo should have some serial numbers on it. If they try to sell online, I doubt they would provide a box or paperwork with it, so should stand out hopefully. Don't lose hope. All I can do is keep my eyes open and tell people I know who deal with Tag Heuer watches to have a look out. Wishing you all the luck for it finding its way back to you xx
I’m so very sorry about your dads watch Lizzy. It’s so heartbreaking to lose such a special item that’s so sentimental. Much love 💖
Before I watch the video, your hair is gorgeous! Dark roots and that shade of brown suit you so much
So sorry for your watch Lizzy, but on a happier note THIS is the hair for you!! So good!! ❤️❤️
Hi Lizzy, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's watch. I know how heartbreaking it is to not have something like that. My situation is the same but I can understand how you feel. I lost my mum last year she was only 55. I was meant to have her engagement/weddings given to me as they were incredibly sentimental. Unfortunately, the undertakers miss read the form and she was buried with them. I know to some extent they are at peace with her but it would have been nice to carry a little bit of her around with me every day.
Sending my love. I'm a Christian, so I'll be praying the watch comes back to you in a miraculous way. There is also hope. Love your content, Lizzy, you're amazing. Love, Gemma
Lizzy!! I am trusting and praying that your Dads watch will make it back to you. Watching you for years, and my heart ached as if you were my friend. Thinking of you. Hoping peace and joy fills your heart until his watch makes it back to you. Btw your hair looks amazing!! Love the side swept.
I’m so sorry for you losing your dads watch. I know the pain. I lost my mobile phone after my dad died and it had all his messages on and voicemails with his voice. I didn’t have it saved to iCloud. I sobbed for a while. Don’t beat yourself up xxx
Your hair looks stunning x
my heart is breaking about your dads watch
So sorry about your dads watch. I feel your pain. I do hope it turns up.
Your hair is so beautiful, the length really suits you.
Love the (new?) ring and teardrop earrings! Please link them in the description if you can :)
This length and style and colour are EVERYTHING
I had been moving continents and put all of my memorabilia into one moving box - jewelry from my deceased grandparents, my deceased mom, photos, old knick knacks, a wooden box from 1913, and numerous high-end bags. :/ All were lost. I know how your heart is breaking. It happened to me 10 years ago and I still occasionally think about it. Sorry to not be the bearer of better news - it was more to let you know that stuff happens sometimes. I really think you should book that flight ASAP and get on the horn with that watch. Literally - time is ticking. xoxo
Don't beat yourself up about losing your dads watch pleasee :( i lost my late dad's gold signet ring and it took a long time to get over it but ultimately it is just an object it doesn't take anything away from your memories together or the love you have for each other. I also told myself that my dad would NOT have wanted me to be so hard on myself about something i really couldn"t do anything to change. It's all bloody hard though :)
Good luck x
Sorry to hear about your dad's watch, fingers crossed it find its way back to you.
Your hair is great, it really suits you.
Regarding the boots, it is an interesting dilemma. I personally think that it is fine to accept them if you will wear them and enjoy them but not if you wouldn't wear them. I appreciate your transparency, it helps your audience to really trust your opinions. Fxx
Biggest hugs Lizzy I have my late father's brietling watch which he got when he was 21 and it's hugely sentimental, I really hope you get your dad's watch back, I always feel so good when I wear my dad's watch xx
Loving the hair ... chic & sassy & really suits your unique fashion signature !
All the pretty horses is one of my favourite novels, its a lighter book from Cormac and very romantic (but still bloody cool and cowboy related), cried about a billion times when devouring it but it was so gorgeously written. Highly highly recommend if you haven't read it yet. Very sorry about the watch, hope you get it back xx
Georgia Kelly Agree, it's such a beautiful book.
Don't worry about the boots - they are lovely and many jobs have perks; they are yours! Your hair looks so good and really suits you. So very sorry about your watch: I was in Amsterdam last weekend and thought of you whilst going thru the airport - hopefully there will be a happy ending. My husband had keys stolen from his pocket whilst in the city, probably whilst taking a photo from a crowded bridge.
Hi Lizzy. I lost my late stepfather’s watch while travelling so I know exactly how you feel. Please don’t blame yourself as this sort of thing is very easily done. Your dad would want you to be happy and not beat yourself up. Memories of your dad are more important than material things. Lots of love.
Great to have you back here, Lizzy. About the discussion: 1.As long as the item really suites your style and you really enjoy having it around to play dress up with, than it is o.k. to enjoy the giffting side of your job. 2. As long as it is not a case of getting a whole lot of expensive items that not fitting to your style or that not really lays out with your way of life and buying. 3. Keep it true and genuine and open with your audience.
Have a graet week!
I hope you get your beloved watch back, I think we are all devastated for you so fingers crossed!
You hair is fab and really suits you this length, I have a similar length and it’s so easy to maintain x
Oh Lizzy... your watch story made me cry. I really hope you find it.
I have done something similar and lost something precious... I put my late mum's ring "somewhere safe" and I have searched high and low for it and just can't find it. It makes me feel so sad and sick with myself when I remember that it is still lost x
I think you omitted the details of knitted black v-neck sweater you wore in the first segment of the video - it still had the tags on....
Broke my heart hearing about your dads watch. I hope you find it ❤️
Love your hair. Sorry you lost your Dads watch. It's sentimental things that mean the most. Hope you get it back. Catherine 🤗
Fully on board with the sustainable aspect. For new clothing ideas, what if you go and film try ons at the shops?
I’m so sorry about your dads watch! I lost my grandmothers tennis bracelet earlier this year and it still pains me so much💔. So every thing you expressed resonates with me exactly xo
Omg Lizzy my heart goes out to you! Don’t worry it will be ok, the watch will go back to you, and I think you watch brand has also serial numbers
Super classy haircut ❤️. Fab boots enjoy them. Crossing my fingers that you get the watch back 🙏.......🤗🇨🇦
I shaved a patch of my leg hair the day I got it cut and didn’t touch it again until my next appointment 10 weeks later. Wow - never knew my hair grew over an inch in that time before my experiment lol! I guess it’s a sign that good nutrition and regular head massages do work!!
I lost a ring from my grandmother at school, it was one with the letter A on it. Never got it back and still am very upset with it. But I'm lucky that my grandmother is still with us today, so I don't think I can compare this with your loss. I hope, with all my heart, that you get it back one day.
Love the new hair do Lizzy! The beachy waves and side fringe are 👌 so sorry about your dad's watch, I can see you're really in pain about it. Pls don't beat yourself up, those security queues are chaos and it's so easy to forget what's in your tray as you're in and out like a whirlwind. Fingers crossed for getting it back.
A similar thing happened to my co-worker but this time she forgot her laptop in the tray at Schiphol and she got her computer back. She went through the procedure as described by the airport on their website. I to do hope you get your watch back.
Lizzy, I'm so sorry to hear about your watch, I hope you can find some way to get that exact one back! Your hair looks lovely at this length by the way, it makes me really want to cut my own hair now and that would be almost 10 inches lol!
I hope someone comes through with your father's watch. But, all the lovely memories no-one can take from you. Still I understand the loss. Connie
Lizzy I lost a precious Swarovski rose gold bracelet while stock taking for the office (we were giving away corporate gifts and I was checking if the quality was good on all bags and the bracelet fell in one of the bags without me noticing) and I was devastated as it had sentimental value. I used the law of attraction to get it back - I intended that my bracelet finds its way back to me. That the person who finds it in his bag brings it back to the office. My focus was without resistance and I kept saying that I intend for my bracelet to find its way back to me. And the Monday a girl found it in her bag and brought it back!!! I cried ! 😭👌🏽💕💕💕 intend that your watch is found and that it finds its way back to you consistently and watch the universe work it’s magic 🤩🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨
I can’t say it enough - your hair is fab fab fab! I love your vlogs Lizzy, thank you for creating them for us 😙 xx
re: Choos - I don't consider what bloggers accept and style from brands as a "gift." I want to see your outfits as inspiration and if you have an option to have a beautiful piece sent to you, please take it!
Loving the short hair on you Lizzy!
Oh lizzy my heart went out to you. I lost my necklace this year at s hotel and they never found it.😔my husband bought it when we had our first child (15yrs ago) really sentimental to me. I'm so sorry, I hope you find it xx
I’d love to know what size you have the H&M leather jacket in, I’m desperately hoping it’ll be restocked 🤞
im sorry to hear that. i hope you get it back, because of what it means to you.
My grandma passed away young and left her jewellery to my mum. We took it to our elderly neighbours before we went on holiday for safe keeping. Sadly they were burgled while we were away and they took all our heirloom jewellery that meant so much to my mum (& me). Years later someone confessed to the burglary to try and get a reduced sentence for other offences. So we know they got jail time but we never got her rings and stuff back as they had been sold on and on. I can sympathies and assurance that it will be less painful, but no happy news about getting it all back x
Sorry to hear about your watch, hopefully someone will hand it in and you’ll get it back ❤️ Love your hair, it really suits you
I really don't think there is a problem to accept the boots. There are people that would spend that amount of money for them (I wouldn't). So if you love them and would 100% recommend them if you would go out more then it is fine. At the end of the day we want to see good quality products and how you would style what you like, even if it is on a rare occasion, even if it is just for inspiration.
Love watching your videos, Lizzy! How are you able to be so open and honest in front of the camera? Did it take a long time to get used to? I feel like we are having a heart to heart convo half the time xx
Hi Lizzy, I am so sorry about your watch. I know that watch means so much to you. I really hope you are able to find it.
Hi Lizzy, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's watch I understand how you feel, my own Dad died recently and I'm now so attached to all the items of his that he left me like his scarf
Lizzy ♥️ I am so sorry about your watch.. I hope with all my heart you get it back... Somehow I'm always thinking about it 💔😘 on the plus side of thinking...
your hair looks amazing!! .. And we've missed you!
I'm so sorry about the watch loss. Everyone makes mistakes. It's inevitable. I hope you get it back.
Lizzy my darling I am so, so sorry to hear about the watch. I know full well that it's easier said than done but try not to beat yourself up too much: airport security is hectic and you're doing everything you can. Good vibes always! Also that haircut is very flattering on you.
So sorry about your dad's watch, really hope it makes its way back to you! The haircut looks incredible, also really liked the black knit with the gorgeous gold necklace. As for the boots I don't have any issue with you accepting gifts that you wouldn't pay so much for. It's your job and provides inspiration for others. I would only have an issue if you were promoting them but actually thought they were really poor quality or something (basically just being dishonest which I know you would never do anyway) x
The bit about the watch made me tear up. It's one of the worst feelings and I really hope you'll get it back one day. Sending you lots of love x
Hi lizzy, You should try to post on this fb group called GIRLS LOVE TRAVEL, it is a big facebook for women who love to travel (obv). The community is huge, some of them even work for airlines or airport. May be try to ask for help there! Sending you lots of love!!
So sorry to hear about the watch. I once got to an airport and left my bag with flight tickets, cards and money on the hook of the trolley... fortunately after 2 hours it was handed in. So I hope your dads watch will get back to you
So sorry about your Dad’s watch I really hope it manages to find its way back to you 🤞🏻
Your hair looks amazing x
Love your hair and that totême trench is SO good!! Sending love and hope your way that you find your fathers watch!! xx
Really hope your dads watch finds its way back to you! Love your hair! ❤🇨🇦❤
Aaaaw your Dads watch😢 but let’s be positive😊, hope and pray you get it back🙏🏻
I'm exactly the same - tea tastes so much better before you brush your teeth! Like it makes it extra hydrating or something. Also, isn't 'The Road' just the best book?
Hugs Lizzy, hope you get the watch back. Xxx
Gosh Lizzy, literally had to stop watching at 2:46. Had a lump in my throat at the mere thought of you losing such a sentimental piece. I’m sending you all the positive vibes that you get some breakthrough. Replacing the same type of watch is not quite the same and if it’s not positive, I’d probably invest in something completely different for your wrist. Your tears got me.
I want to give you the biggest cuddle and bring you a little chocolate! So a virtual hug and this little comment will have to do - I am so so so so sorry about your dad's watch! I am an only child too and I totally understand the sentimentality behind it! let's put some good vibes out there and see if a little miracle happens x
Hey Lizzy! I’m so sorry about the watch, my heart breaks for you at the beginning of the vlog 😣 sending all of the luck your way! On the topic of lost things, and a lighter note, I can’t remember if the necklace behind the radiator was ever retrieved, would love an update on the necklace saga! 🧡
Oh Lizzie, I am so sorry for your watch. Obviously, you must be so upset. I really hope you manage to get it back. My mom lost one of her most precious items in a taxi once - a silver 30's cigare holder that was her grand father's. She somehow got it back - have to ask her how, I forgot, but I know she had totally lost hope of ever seeing it again ! Xx
I’m so so sorry about your dads watch lizzy, I’ve been there so many times, holding out hope for you xxx
So sorry about your Dad’s watch. I use my late father’s wallet these days , and a new one is NOT the same. Love Eli and Mysty 🐾🐾🐈🐈
I'm so, so sorry about your dad's watch. For what it's worth, you're not an idiot. Not even close. I hope it all works out, love. xo
So so sorry to hear about your watch, hope you're well :(
Hey Lizzie. I'm personally against non second-hand leather products, but that being said, isn't sometimes the whole purpose of gifts to be nice things you wouldn't necessarily buy yourself? (I'm thinking expensive vegan candles or fancy printed socks in my case - nice to own and use but never something I would buy for myself...) Especially if you like and approve of the brand already 😊
Lizzy please share more about the books you read and the notes you make about yr work and inspiration.. :)
Really hope it comes back to you xx bless you.
So sorry about your watch, I did exactly the same thing at heathrow a few years back with a heavy solid gold bangle I loved. The staff and security were useless, did nothing to help me, and so I just had to take my flight out of London minus my gold. From that flight and onwards I have refused to remove my bangles, I just say that I can't remove what I have on, I prefer to go through the scanner. I use a rather authoritarian attitude lol, and since then it works!!!
I looove that haircut on you, its so flattering for you, like the volume, makes you even more beautiful
