Happy Birthday Maria and Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. Was good fun to open them with you. Great work on giving up smoking. I , too, was a smoker, about 20 a day for many years and started about the same age as you. I gave it up about 13 years ago now and have never looked back. Beautiful items . Many happy returns of this day! Great Video. 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎊🎁
Hi Joanna. I would by lying if I said I never think about it. Definitely no cravings but I did love a cigarette, especially with a coffee. Loving my new LV items 💕
Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday my beautiful friend ❤❤. Mazel Tov for giving up smoking which I know was very hard for you. It’s such a major thing and I hope I can follow your lead !! You know how much I love Louis Vuitton and I adore every single thing you got !! That bag is stunning and I have never seen it in lamb skin before. You did fabulous 🎉. Please give the queen a ribbon to play with. 💞❤️🎂
Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary and most of all congrats on giving up smoking Maria! 🎉🎂🥳🥂👏🏻 Congrats on all your beautiful LV pieces❤... love the earrings, the gorgeous ombre scarf, gorgeous and very practical wallet and of course your beautiful bag... enjoy wearing them all! I got a Samorga bag organizer for a Chanel 19 I recently got... they are the best.🥰
Congratulations on giving up smoking and happy anniversary and happy birthday 🎉When I tell my work colleagues here in Switzerland, what a packet of cigarettes cost in NZ they can't believe it 😄 I think Margo may have been hoping for a LV cat collar 😊
Hi, thank you! They are so expensive here, it was a costly habit. Margot probably did wan some LV for herself although she seems quite content to go crazy with the bags 😆
Congrats on quitting smoking. Your skin is so pretty for having smoked that much. I bet you noticed an improvement though. That scarf is absolutely gorgeous and the perfect colors for you. The bag is a great choice. I have the Murakami CarryAll PM in white canvas and love it. It is a good size for me because I am 5’1” or 155cm. I appreciated you giving the conversions. 😃
Thanks for your kind words and yes, it was a tough to give up but I’m so happy about the change! Still not smoking which is good. Lovely bag you purchased 🦋
Oh you go girl !!!! Congratulations on all three your Birthday Anniversary and your acheivement . I too was a heavy smoker for many years on and off . I had absolutly no problem giving up , one of the lucky ones. However I do understand, my husband struggled extremely hard to give up. He is still 25 years later addicted to chewing gum which he took up, ( we have often had to drive to a shop to buy some if he forgets his packet )after meals, with a drink, etc. you know. Those times ! It’s a massive acheivement .
Hi Sharon, thank you! It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be but I was ready to quit and I did use patches for a little while and then gum and like your husband I think I'm addicted to that now...oh well at least it's cheaper than cigarettes 🌸
@@NightStarBeautylol yes and gum doesn’t smell either. There’s always a packet of PK gum lying around here though ,lol. My strongest memory of my husband giving up was that everything suddenly smelt fresh. :) I liked smoking and though it wasn’t a big deal for me to give up , I think I’d really struggle more now to give up my cup of tea in the mornings and my glass of wine at night :) our son is struggling now to give up actually. It isn’t easy for him at all.
What a lovely LV haul! The Carryall is stunning! I really like the LV mono strap - a nice added touch. I'm so glad I saw your channel - new subbie here. Happy Birthday!
Dear Maria, your timing couldn’t have been better as today I decided to quit smoking (again, I’ve stopped previously for 8 years and then I started again 🙈) anyhow, congratulations on successfully quitting smoking! You should be very proud of yourself! Now I’m going to watch your video until the end and hope that in one year, I will be able to proudly tell that I stopped smoking 1 year ago 🙏🏻
Hi Claudia, one thing about giving up smoking is that no-one can tell you to do it. It definitely has to be a personal decision and it may have something to do with me being stubborn lol. I did use patches and gum. The patches I stopped after about 2-3 months and I am still using the gum...oh well, cheaper than cigarettes! When the time is right I am sure you will do it and good luck when you do!! 🌷
Congratulations on quitting smoking! I have heard that is one of the most difficult things to do. You made some lovely choices, and that handbag is perfect! I would have chosen the same 😊 Love your videos, as they keep me from purchasing things that would not work for me ❤
Hi, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be but it's something that you have to be ready to do and noone else can tell you to do it, as it's definitely a journey that you take all on your own. I would be lying if I said that I miss it but I don't crave them anymore. I am so glad that you enjoy the videos 🦋
Good on you for giving up smoking. Happy birthday, your scarf is fabulous, bag and purse gorgeous. I have never been a smoker ( now what can I give up). ❤❤xx
Happy birthday. Happy anniversary. Congrats on your cigarette quitting! Can't believe how expensive the cigarettes are in NZ!😮 About your presents THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!! 🎉😍🥳 Great! And I believe that Margot was only " being helpful" 😂❤. Big hug dear friend ! Again CONGRATS 😊
Happy Birthday and Anniversary! Your LV picks are stunning. OMG, and congrats on quitting smoking! I'm 58 and smoked up until I got married almost 28 years ago. Best thing I ever did for myself. I've unfortunately picked up a Starbucks habit in the last 3 years and I'm now addicted to caffeine! 😂😂😂 It's always something right?
Happy belated birthday Maria! 🎉 I’m turning 55 in few days as well 😇 What an achievement on quitting smoking, heartfelt congratulations, it’s definitely not easy! Unfortunately I’m a smoker too, so I definitely know. Beautiful purchases, enjoy it in a good health! Big hugs! Xo
Hi, thank you! One thing I do know is that no one can tell you to quit. It has to be your own decision and when the time is right it can happen. I never thought I would be able to give it up as they were like a good friend. I loved smoking and I would be lying if I said I still don't think about it now and then but I don't crave them anymore, I just like the thought of having one with a coffee. I did use patches when I first gave up and then gum which I still use. You will know when the time is right if you have thought about quitting 🌸
What an awesome accomplishment! I love all the celebratory items. Very elegant and understated! Luxury should be an enjoyed as often as one wants!🤭🫶 HBD🎉
Hi thank you for sharing :) its a really nice bag! Do you have any marks etc. since you bought it? I got a lamb skin bag (Sunset Vibe) from LV too, and I am not sure if the leather getting easily marks or something like that. Happy to hear from you :)
Hi, I use it about 3 times a week since I got it and no wear on it at all. While it doesn’t need special care I’m not rough with it. It’s a great bag, I love it
You have beautiful taste, I just love your choices. They are all very chic choices. Congratulations on quitting smoking, I have no idea how much they are here in the United States but I suspect that they are not quite as much they are in New Zealand.
The bag looks lovely on you. His talk are you? How are you finding it so far? Would you call it everyday bag? I bought the black one in emprient last year but found it too heavy to be my everyday bag
@@NightStarBeauty thanks for your reply! I’m glad you are enjoying it. There is a gray version that has just come out- what do you think of the colour? Would you consider it an everyday bag? Black or the gray?
Congratulations on giving up and then rewarding yourself Maria
I loved the scarf them most ❤
Hi, thank you! 🌸
Beautiful beautiful choices! The carryall in the lambskin with the mono strap, stunning! Congratulations!
Hi, I adore the CarryAll lambskin. It's a great everyday bag 🌸
Congratulations on a fantastic achievement, well deserved, Maria. Take care. Gill 🇬🇧 xoxo ❤❤😘😘
