I try a LOT of stuff. A LOT. Beauty products, clothes, shoes, jewelry. And only a fraction of those items make it onto my channel. I try a lot of items and spend a lot of money so that you don’t have to.
And like most people who have tried a lot, I’ve discovered favorites here and there. I am not brand loyal when it comes to any category, whether that’s skincare or jeans. I have favorites across a wide variety of brands.
I’m also not a “snob” when it comes to buying anything. I have shoes from Walmart and Chanel, and that is true of almost everything. I have drugstore skincare mixed with high-end products, t-shirts from Amazon and James Perse, etc, although I definitely have chosen to buy less and buy better as I’ve gotten older. There’s nothing like a really well-made pair of shoes or a fabulous investment bag.
That’s why I was excited to do this compilation video of just a few of the items that I would buy again. These are the items I have bought for friends and recommended over and over again, and they never disappoint.
Shoes
These are the most worn shoes in my collection, and I took 3 of them with me on my trip to Europe. They combine comfort with versatility and style. I do have codes for many of these, so make sure to use them for a discount. (Pics are linked too!)

Love your suggestion. I agree—7 or 9 shoes are wonderful. So are Sarah Flint’s shoes imo. Lately I have worn M. Gemi heels too. One idea for a new video would be how to choose jewelry that suits your face and figure. Thanks again for all the suggestions.👍
