TrainGirl.MeghanI'm filming my full luxury handbag collection in pieces, broken down by size. We'll have Micro, Mini, Small and Medium. No surprise, I don't really have any bags I would call large. Maybe two could are on the fence. I've loosely defined them by capacity. So micros bags cannot hold all of my essentials (phone, wallet, keys, lip). Mini bags can only hold the essentials, but you couldn't necessarily fit a pouch. My small bags will be a further step up from this where they can actually hold my essentials and extra pouches and sunglasses π
I was able to film my mini bag collection today, so stay tuned for that next week! π

Unboxing from a year ago: youtu.be/pqreXbMIhBs?si=ndOts5bUpVMH6cQ0I saved 15% on two luxury bags! Introducing a new brand to my collectionTrainGirl.Meghan2024-09-24 | Sharing how I saved 15% on my most recent luxury purchase! I was drawn to understated shoulder bags from brands like Khaite and The Row. This led me to discover the minimalist brand, Aesther Ekme. They design luxury bags made in Spain!
Now I am by no means a minimalist, but I appreciate how well understated, modern pieces fit into my varied wardrobe.

Ben and I had a week off visiting family, but we had 3 days to ourselves before heading back to work. We had a wonderful time at Hermes!
I understand that it can be a turn off for people not knowing what they'll be able to get in store or if they will be "offered" something. I have to be honest, I found it really exciting. It would have been totally cool if they didn't have a bag for me. They happened to have a couple, and I happened to love one!
Mini Lindy $7,300 π Vert ComicsLUXURY REGRETS... I wasted $$$TrainGirl.Meghan2024-05-16 | So what would you do with your luxury shopping time machine? I would buy a classic flap 8 years ago π
A few specific expensive pieces I regret wasting money on (and I mean 'wasted' only because I didn't get the wear and joy out of them I expected): 1. Stuart Weitzman boots (multiple pairs...) π 2. Manolo Blahnik Maysli pump 3. A stiff frilly Zimmerman dress that probably can't even fit anymore...
One lesson I'm trying to take forward - Just because I like something does not mean I need a dozen versions of it. I bought 4-5 frilly silk Saloni dresses because I loved the style. Yes, I wore them all, but not often enough to justify the quantity. One or two would have been plenty. Now they hang unworn in my closet. I doubt they even fit...

I still love doing handbag reviews, and I hope I have something valuable/entertaining to contribute to this space even with fewer unboxings. If you saw my wishlist video, you'll know I certainly plan to keep buying handbags, but it will be at a slower pace. In exchange, I'll be spending more money out with friends.

This is something I made up to help me use my least used bags. I have a highlight on instagram explaining the very loose rules. Please let me know if you'd like to join, and I'll share your videos!
If you'd like to join, there is no pressure to do every single challenge or to do them in a particular order. I'll be making a video at the end of each week sharing how the challenge went and what I wore.
I won't be bringing these bags to work or the gym. It's totally fine to use work bags or totes when needed.
1. Only using my most difficult bag for a week (difficult can mean whatever it means to you) 2. Only using my least used bags 3. Only using my very first luxury bag (my Tom Ford caramel T clasp)
I'm tagging a few people below because I'd love to see what you could do with this challenge, but absolutely no pressure! I realize this is a bigger commitment than the average tag π @LulaWestLuxe @accountingforluxury @fuchsiafloyd @luxuryandlifeinthemiddle @luxpetite @ameliarosescloset @DaylesAddiction @StyledByGwennySabato De Sarnos New Jackie | Gucci Spring Summer 2024TrainGirl.Meghan2023-09-28 | The Jackie bag has seen many changes since it came out in the 1950's, but the upcoming bolt snap clasp is my least favorite. Why remove the perfect piston closure? Perhaps Sabato De Sarno wanted to revisit an old design or have lighter hardware. Perhaps it's appropriate for the new creative director to update the every changing but always classic Jackie β€οΈ
I greatly enjoyed the show, but I'll be grabbing a current Jackie as soon as possible before the piston is replaced π
My Jackie Review youtu.be/woW1y0jy7Ls?si=4ONecIzLQKfCpaeD Jackie Unboxing youtu.be/YxFfuyOCUyo?si=UJ6LBDHHgnq8b-KhNEVER Buying From LilySilk Again | Unsponsored Honest UpdateTrainGirl.Meghan2023-09-10 | Part of the reason I am so angry in this video is because I have been a huge fan of LilySilk's for 3 years now. I thought they were fantastic. Now I feel that I can no longer trust their products. This is only my opinion based on my experience. I don't know anything about their production process. I was happy with previous products, and I am not happy with what I recently received. I had been wanting to order a few things from LilySilk for awhile (the king sized pillowcase and a flat sheet), so jumped on the anniversary sale deals when they came around. I ordered - 1. Twin sized flat sheet 22 momme 2. One King sized 22 momme pillowcase 3. Tank nightdress 4. Button down shirt nightdress This totaled to $560 after discounts ($702 without). I also received free gifts with purchase, the mixed-fabric standard pillowcase and an eye mask.
I realize I might sound overly critical or overly dramatic in this video, but I'm very disappointed to see what I feel is the declining quality at LilySilk. Perhaps they face increased pressure to increase profits (by cheapening the product and raising prices). I would rather shop in-person from department stores where I can return items with quality issues. This is one reason I usually shop at Nordstrom.
For sporty/outdoor clothes, I highly recommend REI because they will stand behind their products and offer incredible customer service.
This is just my opinion based on my experience. I don't claim to be an expert. Brands I highly recommend for silk products, Equipment and Vince. I always buy these on sale, typically at Nordstrom Rack. Thrift stores also have a lot of silk shirts. I don't shop secondhand online, but I've heard good things about shopping for silk on ebay. For PJs, I recently bought a set on sale from Eberjey. OMG I love them! Highly recommend.π Bags I DIDNT WANT when shopping with @classicswithaquirk | Whats still on my wishlist?TrainGirl.Meghan2023-09-02 | I came into NYC with a long list of bags to see in person, and a few of them were pretty disappointing.

I expect to put out a more organized video as I learn more. To be clear, I'm not saying Kibbe has anything to do with minimalism. My thought is I can use these theories to make better and fewer purchases.
I think Ellie-Jean does a great job of explaining Kibbe's theory (link below). I'm still learning, so I just apply the bits that make sense to me because I've found it helps. To me, "better purchases" means buying pieces that I feel good in for many years. My goal is to continuing buying fewer pieces. That does not mean I won't be buying luxury. The main way I'm able to afford luxury pieces is by minimizing my smaller purchases.

The short answer is: highly recommend β€οΈ Distillery info below.
Distilleries visited: Ardbeg - full tour Ardnahoe - tasting blends. My favorite was Hebridean Journey Bowmore - full tour Bruichladdich - tasting. I got to try Ocotmore, and I loved it. The sensation is like nothing else. I plan to buy a bottle soon. Bunnahabhain - We stopped in. Some people did tastings there. Ben and I bought a tasting set with tiny bottles to take home because we needed pace ourselves. Lagavulin - tasting. We felt very lucky to have our tasting led by Iain McArthur before his retirement. He was amazing, and they were *very* generous on this tour. Well worth the price. Laphroaig - full tour

I'll be doing my usual first impressions and review videos, and I absolutely plan to purchase from Ateliers Auguste myself in the future. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to look more closely at their finely crafted product!
This is my first gifted product because I have taken that situation very seriously. I have made several true friends from doing youtube, and I hope to make more meaningful connections as I continue. I wouldn't risk betraying their trust by throwing around my stamp of approval carelessly.
No affiliate links. Any ad/sponsored/gifted content will be clearly declared in the description box. Gifted Product. All thoughts are (and will always be) my own π The brand did not ask me to make follow-up videos, but I always aim to make the kind of content I would find helpful. I like to know how things wear and how easy they are to use, so that's the kind of thing you can expect here.GUCCI JACKIE 1961 REVIEW | Different leathers, what fits, and mod shotsTrainGirl.Meghan2023-06-09 | Longest leather crossbody strap drop 22in Longest cotton strap drop 23in (to top of bag opening) Shoulder strap drop 6in

To be fair, I haven't watched every how-to video being uploaded on quiet luxury because I'm not interested. I'm sure many people express their interest in the style without being critical of others.Luxury Mini Bag Collection | Pt 2 of my full handbag collectionTrainGirl.Meghan2023-04-13 | Sharing what I consider to be my mini bags! These are the bags that can fit all essentials (keys, phone, wallet, maybe sunnies), but they cannot reasonably fit a mini pochette. I mention a small cotton pouch multiple times in this video. I use those free cotton pouches that often come with jewelry purchases to be a tiny catch-all in my bag for keys and a lip gloss just so they aren't rolling around or scratching against my wallet. They are so thin and flexible, so they take absolutely no space unlike an LV pochette.
Goodness knows I love my LV pochette, but it just won't fit in these bags π Next filming my "small" handbags for part 3 π
