Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. So I'm starting another weekly vlog and I wasn't sure if
I wanted to film this video but just because this week will be super busy, very stressful, hectic
but at the same time I wanted to have a memory of this week. Today is the 26th and I have big news.
So I vlogged two days ago and I have a little footage for you that I want to include here
and after you see that you'll know what's happening this week, next week. But yeah I'm
getting ready for this huge event. I can't wait, I still can't like, I still can't process it.
I don't know, I still feel like it's a dream. I feel that I'm dreaming. Okay I'm still shaking,
my hand is still shaking, that's why I dropped my phone. But something big just happened.
It is the 24th of February and it is 4 p.m. 20 minutes ago I received a call from my Chanel SA.
I'm going to cry again. I just fixed my makeup, it was all smudged under my eyes.
Guys I'm going to the fashion show. I'm going to the fashion show.
Stop it. Okay the fashion show is on the 7th for winter 2023-2024 fashion show.
Maria is going to the fashion show. What? What? I know, I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
This has been a dream of mine for literally the longest time ever. I never thought it would happen.
I was hoping it would happen one day but wow. I'm going to the Chanel fashion show.
I'm probably already in Paris and you're probably watching this after the show.
But yeah wow. So today I'm actually on my way to Harrods, Chanel, Selfridges, I don't know some
other boutiques because I, to be honest, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I think I have everything
that I need but I'll just go have a look around the shops in case I spot something that I think I
need. So I actually also need to go buy some chocolates and a thank you card to give to someone,
the person who made this happen. I'll try to vlog throughout the week. I'll be getting ready,
I'll be getting ready for my trip. I'll go get my nails done later on in the week. I'll probably
pack as well. I'll show you what I'm taking with me and now I will leave you. I'm about to go
actually. I will vlog today and show you where I go if I buy anything. I might not buy anything
but I just want to go and browse in case I spot something that I need. Perfume of the day in my
uniform. Guys, our window displays are now changed. No more Kusama. We have Laura Piana. So I guess
Laura Piana is taking over Harrods. There is probably a pop-up as well so I'm gonna go and
have a look and show you. Oh my god, this looks so nice, doesn't it? By the way, doesn't this bag give
Mini Lindy vibes? Looks a little bit like the Mini Lindy. These bags are all over Instagram, at least
on my feed. What do you guys think of these? Do you like them? They actually have embellished ones. Now,
I'm not sure if they've done embellished bags before. Oh my god, this one is so nice. Looks like the
Birkin or the Kelly Picnic. I wonder if they'll have it in sight to try on. This is stunning. I
wonder how much it will be as well. So we have this bag in Ostrich and then I guess this is the
new style. Actually, it does give me Picotin vibes as well. Sorry, so this is 12,600 and how much is
this one? This is 2,600 pre-order only. It will be available from the 14th of April. Thank you.
Yeah, thank you. So there are only five units left and this you can pre-order.
So here are some of the new Dior spring summer pieces. I love these colours but
I'll vlog more in Paris so there will be definitely a Dior Avenue Montaigne vlog.
Okay, I just spotted this. It just caught my eyes.
Oh my god, look at this sparkle and the hardware is stunning.
Let me just show you some of the ready-to-wear. Everything with that bold detail. They have new
bags with crystals. I don't know guys, all these give me Zara vibes if I have to be honest.
They have this minty top with hearts. Oh, I love this set. This purple set is so nice but for that
price you can find pretty much the same in Zara. And then here is another look with hearts all
covered in hearts. Again, H&M Zara vibes. Okay, this is cool. This denim jacket. Look at the
flowers on the nipples. Oh, I love that. That's the brand and has cutouts as well.
Let me show you the windows. This is 23p collection. What do we think of this? This
is actually quite cute for spring and summer. It's so lightweight as well, the fabric.
And it comes in this dress, same print. I love the necklace. What do we think of these?
They're cute. Okay, so I asked to see some more special pieces. I love this one in the shiny
leather. This is the other side with the CC. This one is 3900. And then we have the same in black
and white, very Chanel. Both of these will actually go with my look for the show. Which one do you
like more? Guys, they pulled out the special pieces. Look at this. This is from Cruise.
So this is the little helmet on. This is adorable.
So you have the CC on this side with the lion, the hair, the camellia with crystals and number five.
Oh my god, this is definitely a fashion show. Showstopper basically. This is stunning. This
is amazing. Wow. Okay, can we talk about this? I can't believe they pulled this out. Look how cool.
Okay, this is such a collector's piece. It is very pricey. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna
buy this now. Maybe for my next fashion show. But this is absolutely like this is insane guys.
Look at the stars. So this is another bag. This is actually a very old collection. 2016.
This is a bag but you can actually use it later on to store jewelry at home. It's like a mini vanity.
How do they still have these? How? Okay, if you've watched my video where I talk about bags I missed
on, I want to buy. This is one of them. Here is the same in white. I will link that video above.
If you love Chanel, you have to watch that video. Oh my god guys, did you see all the special bags?
Wow. It would be a dream to have one of these one day. But I mentioned I was going to the fashion
show so they pulled out quite a few to try on. But I don't know. Which one was your favorite?
I think they've done better ones in the past. So maybe one day when they release something
really really special. Something with like, I don't know, one of those bottles. I would love to
have the number five bottles. I'm gonna go look for a thank you card. I think they're here.
Oh yeah, here they are. They're not very nice, are they?
This is the one I picked with the gold star because my essay is a star. Right, let's find the bag.
What's going on? Honestly, the bags and the cards in Harrods are so bad.
Okay, so I got this one. It was the best one in gold to match the card.
Hopefully, it's big enough to fit the chocolates. I'm gonna go get chocolates now.
Guess what I'm getting? The salad. I'll make sure I link that vlog above.
If you haven't watched it, that's like the best salad ever. A little bit more please. Thank you.
A little bit more. Yeah, that's fine. Thank you. And can I have a schnitzel as well? Thank you.
Getting the same as last time because it was yummy. So on my way to the boutique to bring
this to my essay. There is a bigger gift as well but I'm sending that by post. So this is just a
little thank you. And then this is my food from Harrods. Some chocolates for myself.
Here are some more bags that I actually quite like but this is the large size. I wanted to
look at the small one. This one actually exists in two other sizes like a medium and a very tiny one.
So they found me the medium size. It's very cute. I love this gray color but I think I have to go
either for the black or the white for the fashion show. Here is a size comparison.
This is how the medium size looks on me and you can wear it as a clutch. You can put the chain
inside. It's very cute in white but I want to see the black one as well. And they also pulled out
these bags. This one is very cute but I wish it was like black and white. It's very cute.
They found the black one. So this is only one piece available here. I really like the black. I
love the white but maybe for an evening bag I would probably use the black more. Which one?
Which one do you guys like more? Please comment. This is just the black. Again you can wear it as
a clutch. This would actually work with my outfit. So guys I'm after this pair of shoes in
black. The ones that I didn't buy. I was contemplating between the nude pair that I
ended up getting. I will link my unboxing above and the black. And now I regret not getting the
black as well because I need it for the fashion show and it is sold out everywhere. So let's see.
I have to find an alternative. Okay so I decided to stop for a minute and update you. I haven't
bought any bags yet. I am definitely eyeing these last ones that I saw with the crystal clasp
because they're quite wearable. I can wear them after the show as well. I did want something a
bit more special for the show but I don't know. I can't really find anything that I really really
like. So I think that bag could actually work if I wear it as a clutch. I just can't decide if I
want the black or the white. So yeah I spoke to my SA as well. I showed my look for the show. By
the way can you guess what I'm wearing judging by the bags that I tried on? Let me know in the
comments. I'll show you later. I'm not gonna give it away yet. But yeah my SA said actually you don't
really need a bag for that outfit. So I'm not sure if I'll actually buy a bag. I guess I'll see.
I'll have a look around maybe a bit more. I'll visit probably a few more boutiques because every
boutique has different stock. So if I see anything or maybe because I'm going in Paris on the weekend
and the show is on Tuesday I'll have enough time to browse in Paris as well. Maybe I'll find something
there. Hi guys today is Tuesday and I just received a call from my SA. She has something
for me that I need for the show. Last minute I decided I needed something urgently for my looks.
There'll be a dinner as well the evening before the show. So I think the item that I requested
will be great for both the show and the evening. So yeah I'm gonna go collect it today. So I quickly
wanted to show you what I'm wearing. I am wearing all black and white. Very comfy. So I'm wearing
this basic Zara top, these Chanel hoops, then this cutie from Spring Summer 2021.
And then my beautiful Chanel coat, mango jeans, and my Laura Pianas. I was going to wear these
but it's a bit cold today. So I want my feet to be warm and toasty. Let's go. Oh my god I'm freezing
and I'm walking as long as the street is closed. So I'm just walking to the boutique to pick up the
item that I need. I didn't tell you but the other day when I went to browse, last minute I decided
this pair of shoes for my look and then turned out they're sold out everywhere.
And I panicked. I freaked out. So I started looking for them everywhere. I started calling
all the boutiques and they were completely sold out. And then if you follow me on Instagram you
have probably seen I was after that pair of shoes. So many of you, oh my god, so many of you messaged
me the same day and actually suggested to help and send the shoes from other countries.
But luckily in my essay, I don't know how she managed to do it because they were completely
sold out everywhere. They said they might have them on some window display somewhere in the UK
and they'll try to take them down from the mannequins, from the windows. So I guess that's
how she did it. I'll just go and ask her now. But wow, I'm so lucky because I actually contacted
this personal shopper and they said they can send them from the US. But it was gonna cost a lot
and then also I wasn't sure if they'll arrive on time. So I don't want to risk it. But
thankfully in my essay, I don't know, she did a miracle again. She found them for me. So I'm gonna
go collect them. So cold. I'm gonna leave you now. I need to warm up inside the boutique because
I'm freezing and I don't want to get ill right before the show. Yeah, should have put more layers on.
So just picked up my shoes. I'm so happy and guys, it is confirmed. Chanel prices are going up
this Friday. In two days, 13 to 15 percent. Wow, a huge price increase. And actually I just saw the
guy was changing some of the prices of the small leather goods. How funny. They're already changing
some of the prices. That's insane. But yeah. Oh my god, so happy I picked up the shoes,
sorted for the show, for the dinner and I will speak to you tomorrow probably.
Hi guys. Today I'm packing. I won't be showing my face just because I just took a shower. So I still
have the towel on my head. Also I'm tanning. So my face is snow white, the rest of my body is dark.
I'm tanning my hands as well as you can see. So if my hands look dirty, that's why. These are some
of my Chanel looks. This is also a Chanel look with this stunning bodysuit. Can you guys guess
which one is for the show? So we have this beautiful Chanel skirt as well and the jumper,
the black and white tweed jacket, the beautiful cruise bodysuit. Also should I quickly unbox this?
Let's do it. My beauties. Oh I love them. They actually had to take them down from the windows
but I found them. Yay. So this is going in the bin later. I forgot to tell them no box
and I will be packing the shoes in my suitcase later. So they can stay here on the side for now.
By the way, I forgot to show you yesterday. I didn't vlog because it was a stressful day but
I did my nails. So I did. Very natural with pearls. All right, so also I wanted to show you
I need to pack some jewelry. Let's see. Oh yeah, there is a bit of a change since last time. I'll
make sure I link my jewelry collection video above if you haven't watched it but I added
these trays. There was no space so I had to do double rolls but I will be getting quite a lot
of jewelry because I actually haven't decided exactly which pieces I need so I'll take probably
quite a lot. I'm taking all these. Actually, I'm gonna leave the blue one but I'm definitely taking
these, the black and the gold. Again, excuse my tan. It's still developing. I have to wash my hands
in about an hour otherwise they'll be too white and the rest of my body will be too dark. So I am
also taking, let's see, I'm gonna take these, the lip rings. I'm taking the classic ones.
I'm gonna take these. I'm gonna take all of them. I literally emptied half of the trays which is
crazy. I know I'm taking too much but just in case I need something and then I also need to take some
sunglasses so I'm gonna take these ones. I'm gonna take these ones probably. I'm gonna take
these. Oh, I need my passport which is here. Oh, I might also take these. Can you guys see my hair
towel in the reflection of the sunglasses? Hi. How can I forget this? Of course, I'm taking this.
And then from here, I also need this Chanel top and then this is my other wardrobe. I keep all my
blazers, short jackets actually. I have another wardrobe that I keep more short jackets and blazers
in. I'm gonna take these two Chanel tweed jackets as well just in case. So here is a quick look
at all these Chanel pieces that I'll bring. So here for coats, I will bring, let me show you,
I'm gonna bring this one just casual houndstooth black and white. I'm gonna bring either my
Louis Vuitton coat which is not here or where is it? Or this one but this one is a bit lighter. I
think I might be cold with this one. This is El Capini, one of my newest. I think I might get the
Louis instead. And then I'm definitely taking this Chanel cardigan. Let me pull it out.
Oh yes, of course. And I'm also definitely taking my Chanel black coat. Let me just show you how
nice these two look. So my gorgeous métier d'art cardigan and this top under. This for an evening
look again or even like casual day look, this will be perfect. So definitely taking these.
So for shoes, I'm actually packing very lightly, only four pairs of shoes. I'm taking my white
Laura Pianas for every day just in case. I'll take a pair of trainers and these I will wear
definitely to the show and probably for the dinner. Then I'm also taking my Hermes sock
boots. They go with everything and they're super comfortable. I'm not going to show you how I pack
everything. I just wanted to show you what I'm taking. I'm going to show you how I plan everything
on my phone. So it might be helpful for some of you. That's how I plan everything. And I always
like to be very organized, plan in advance. So I am taking deodorant, makeup remover, this
Flip Kingsley. This is for hair. It gives you a lot of volume after you wash your hair. This for spots
just in case I break out, my nose drops, toothbrush, cotton buds. I took quite a few because sometimes
I need them for my makeup. Contact lenses, plasters, some skincare. Then the best eye cream. I'll link
it down below. The best Sisley face oil. This is great. My cuticle oil. Then scrunchie with a clip.
The light. This is for my phone for evening pictures and videos. My card, sorry my mirror,
my card case, my eyeglasses, sunglasses, more sunglasses, all the jewelry you saw. I'm taking
all this. Mini perfumes. I have the Chanel Gardenia so I will definitely wear that to the fashion show.
It's one of my favorite Chanel fragrances. Then I have a spare battery pack, some more accessories,
the Chanel belt, some more sunglasses. I pulled these out as well. I might take these instead of
these. I haven't decided. Passport, socks, tights. I'm gonna take underwear. I'm not gonna show you
my underwear but I'm taking underwear. I ordered Kim's and guys, it is great. I tried it yesterday.
I think I'll be buying more. So let me just show you how I plan and organize everything. So I put
each day on notes on my phone and then what's the plan for the day. So Thursday, for example,
filming on Champs-Élysées, Louis Vuitton. I'll probably film the new collection for my YouTube.
Lulu, they just confirmed. I tried to book and I was like, why can I not book online?
That's because they're closed for renovations. Then, oh, I also need to pack my Kate top. So
I've put all the outfits. OTD one is the daily outfit. I haven't decided but that's probably
the same outfit I'm traveling with. And then the evening outfit. And then we have Sunday.
Haven't booked a dinner. Honestly, all restaurants I wanted to book, fully booked because of fashion
week. It's crazy. Outfit of the day, I crossed this out because I wasn't sure if I'm taking it
but I'll definitely take it because I have enough space in my suitcase. And then the evening outfit,
Monday, what I'm doing. Outfit Tuesday. This is the day, the day. So if I can,
I'll change three outfits. If not, the second one would have to go. And then Wednesday,
that's the last day. It will be a chilled day and I have a really beautiful skirt that I'm
going to wear. So stay tuned for the vlogs. I'll pack that as well. And then I have some
other bits that I need to pack. I think I've prepared pretty much everything already, but
I need to take some more things like hairbrush, umbrella, pajamas. Last time I forgot my pajamas,
so I need to bring pajamas. So I had a quick lunch and I closed the door because sometimes
when I leave suitcases open or when I leave stuff on the floor like shoes and boxes,
Yoshi sometimes pees inside, especially because he knows I'll be traveling when he sees a suitcase.
He just knows I'll be gone. Although actually I get asked quite often who looks after Yoshi.
I have a friend who looks after him. This is where I'm packing all the handbags and shoes.
These are some more clothes that I'm taking, but I won't be showing you all these.
I'll just show you in Paris. You'll see my daily outfits in Paris. Let's pack my bags quickly.
I keep some of those bags in here and I will definitely need them for the shoes. I'm taking
this one, this one, red mini, and these are black. These are all the bags I'll be packing.
Actually, I'll travel with this one. So this is a ready to wear dust bag, but I don't have time
to be looking for the correct dust bags for each bag. So I'll just pack the bags in here. I'll even
put them in one dust bag. So this, I'll just put the chain inside. Oh, actually I will put some of
the jewelry inside these bags. I'll just pack all the jewelry in this velvet dual makeup pouch,
and then I'll just put this pouch inside one of the minis. This way I save space in my
hand luggage and all the jewelry will be safe with me. Instead of packing it like this,
this will go inside one of the minis. It fits perfectly. In the other mini, I'll pack some
sunglasses. Then on this side, I'll just show you and then I'll leave you because it's getting
dark, but I will pack all my shoes separately in dust bags. As I mentioned, I will be traveling
with these. So all I need to put on this side is these, the sneakers, and my Hermes boots. I'm only
taking four pairs of shoes. All right, guys, that's all. I think I'll leave you here so I can
finish packing. It's getting dark. I also need to go wash off my fake tan. And yeah, stay tuned
for the Paris vlog and the Chanel fashion show. I'm super excited. I will see you in Paris. Bye, guys.
