It sounds silly, but a piece of advice I have picked up from lux youtubers is: "You can admire the beauty of something and...not buy it." Plus: just add the savings toward that one or two amazing jewelry pieces in one's wishes. (Keep at least some of your Chanel's in pastel tones. The fashion pendulum will swing and the burgundy/neutral dominance will recede and colors will be back in. I think you might regret it long-term if you get rid of Chanel classic flaps).
When I was younger I bought things as if there is no tomorrow. Then , I realized that I should invest my money for my future and invest in real estate. Thanks God I am in a stage of my life that im comfortable and financially stable and not worry about the future if I go broke due to my spending spree. Im proud of myself that I was able to set free of being shopaholic. Good thinking Maria in being smart of your purchases ❤I enjoy todays content. Thanks
Hello Maria ! I agree with everything you have said. I love luxury items but I have to save money for months to buy something I like, so I have the time to rethink if I really need it or wear it. My small luxury bag collection has only neutral colours, beige, brown, black.. if I want something colourful in my outfit i usually style it with clothes, usually a colourful top.. all the rest are neutral.. it really works for me ❤
Hello Maria! I did notice a change in your style ever since you bought that Hermes bucket bag in navy blue, idk the name, it’s nice but I didn’t feel like it was much like you, and later I noticed the color choice of your clothing was different, with olive greens, browns, and denims, if that’s what you really want that’s great Maria, but just don’t let some outside opinions change your essence, and btw, you worried me so much!! about not buying more nano sizes of bags because you are tall!! They look super awesome on you girl !! I am tall and you inspired me to love these cutie bags, like mini nano Kelly, that one, the coco handle and mini rectangle are my absolute favorite of your collection but love all of them and I love your personality, so fresh, modern, youthful but with a touch of elegance and sweetness ❤❤❤
Omg I can relate to so many of these!! 🤣🫣 The Dior gifts get me every time 😂 Can’t wait to see your Murakami piece! I was bad and bought a few more little things!! I couldn’t resist!! Great video!
Great points Maria. Sometimes I don't think before I buy. Purchased a pair of over the knee pink boots. They don't match anything so I don't get much use. Clutch bags with no chain, I keep dropping. Bucket bags are a pain because I just can't get into it when I need to.
Another fab video. Life is in seasons. So we MUST always pause and evaluate. Then return with a better formula. You are a rare gem. Loads of love to you and your wonderful family👠👠👠👠👠💋💋💋💋💋❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I’m 5’9 and i understand what you’re saying. I have a few mini rectangles and I do love them but that’s the smallest I’ll go. I’ve always been a neutral person in general. Clothing included. Just think it looks classy and more put together. Occasionally I’ll add in a blue or green top. Lol
Quite luxury is the norm for 2025 a trend thats overtaking in all brands not just with influencers but everyone fashion conscious , it’s the new norm with brands like the row etc . Lv and Chanel have had their time and it’s time for a change .
What are your 2025 shopping rules & items on your no-buy list? xx
Finally, something smart.
Please, find something you don't wear, and it's very expensive.

Congratulations, excellent decisions!
It seems she's taken her husband's advice, he really showed good taste in both the size and colors of the bags
Totally agree with you. I'm happy to see your more rational and enjoy your life.

No Buy year for me in 2025, and NO excuses 💪🏼
Keep your colourful classic flaps Maria, they’ll come back in style
I’m not buying any more Chanel ballet flats. My closet is stuffed with them and I started purchasing them in 2004. I’ve got so many pairs. Enough

Picotin bag
I am totally agree with you , not safe nowadays if wear too much logo on body 😂I also prefer just wear a little bit print that’s is good enough 😊
Can I suggest you make daily vlogs in addition to your usual content? I really like you and your channel. thank you

Could you show us your wardrobe space how you have your items sorted? And what you have ready to wear form brands?

Nice list ❤😊
Get a crossbody chain out on the circular Dior Cosmetic Pouch ❤️❤️❤️
You can donate the cosmetics pouches, that will be a good thing to do
I feel you, both for Murakami and Blazers 😅🥰
Trends .. (is how) the fashion industry keeps itself relevant..
No more bags. I watched for over a year to see if I would still like them. I did, and bought three designer bags that I still like.
No more Chanel bags is mine

Where can I find the Louis Vuitton coat? Name please
Classic Flaps 😀 I didn't think those were still selling with the price hikes and QUALITY ISSUES
Card holders. We dont need any additional card holders. People will not see them, its impractical to purchase them over and over again.
The only one thing I will continue buying-summer dresses.I realized that I have all accessories for the rest of my life.♥️👩🦰♥️
Where are you from?
The mini bags yes you can’t fit anything in them maybe you ur AirPods could but it’s a waste. And the monogram pieces yes not too keen on them
Dear Maria - best of luck with your reasons for NOT buying anything new. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽……….🤗🇨🇦
if you're ever selling that light pink chanel bag ... 👀👀👀👀
lol for a second I thought you said lasers ;)
❤❤❤❤❤
Maria do u own any property? Not rent but actually own real estate? The items u buy are big ticket items so can u give us some financial advice ? Xxx
😊❤❤❤❤ Супер
❤️👜👠👗👜❤️
You also broke your ruke with the LV shearling scarf.
Stop wasting money on Cnanel costume jewelry. All of it deprecated and is poorly made
Finally, something smart. Please, find something you don't wear, and it's very expensive.
