Other times I have tea & bake. Life here in California USA can be very stressful right now and so you can see why I watch you and have come to love you both . Your hubby is also an incredible man. If only you could bottle him so we all could find a joerg for ourselves.

You don't have to worry about fabric wearing down or holes in seams. A quality handbag should last years if made properly. Designer labels have outsourced and their products and don't last one bit! Real fabrics...cotton, wool, leather, suede and canvas last forever with good care. You're just a doll!!! Thanks for the video ❤

    Congratulations on your choice to support locally owned and made. I believe a number of designers here in Australia are sourcing ethically based businesses. I think the best we can do is try to source responsible products and to wear each piece for a long time and to remember that clothing affects lives, those that make it and wear it. ❤ loved seeing your favourite brands and clothing, you wear it all with such style.😊

Thanks so much for speaking out about this ongoing craziness

    I am a brazilian living in germany and honestly, I've never seen any cloth made in Germany, whereas in Brazil I find it all the time and they are good quality and not always produced by children or starving people. When I buy clothes in Germany I get second-hand items, as it is better for the environment. When I am in Brazil I only buy clothes made by brazilians, so I can support their works and not these people working in poor conditions in terrible factories. Your style is lovely btw! 😙

    Yes, that's true, Germany is known for 'Made in Germany' when it comes to cars or machines but less in fashion, I'm sure there are some very small labels though but definitely needs some digging. Second-hand is wonderful, I wanted to be more conscious about the environment as well and I never look back. Thanks so much Helena.

    Luckily I'm in Scotland, and the tweed and the real hand knitted goods here are very affordable in Vintage and second hand shops. I'm leaving behind my punky style towards the calm, quality Scottish tweeds and wool. Living in Edinburgh, it is a privilege, and a good place for it, many people actually wearing those clothes on every day, which for some people, especially from other countries might be fun outfit, but here the weather condition is perfect for tweeds :)

    It’s really interesting how fashion trends repeat. In the 60s, 70s and even the 80s we used to have few changes of clothes but the clothes were of great quality, very stylish, and often hand made by ourselves. I’m waiting to see if sewing will re- emerge as a craft that young people are interested in taking up. It’s a guaranteed way to ensure that what you wear won’t be seen on anyone else!

    I love this concept. Adore it! My mom used to make clothes for me as a baby and young child (even my diapers) and she would sew costumes for when I was in folk dancing as well. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit this gift. I suck at sewing! ha ha. I'd love to be able to buy locally from someone who clearly knows what they're doing in the sewing department. I don't mind paying big bucks for something that's of high quality. I'm sick to death of fast fashion.

    I'm originally from India and just know off hand that so many American and European designersused to get their clothing lines made in Indian factorie. Back in the 90s many factories employed children. So I agree that it's important to have awareness. Sadly, corporate slavery does exist. When i go to india, I love buying fabric and go to the local tailor to get my dress made. It's a treat and satisfying i feel I'm helping local economy.

    I love your style! I too enjoy wearing English country-style clothing. I've tried so many other styles, but they're just not me. I struggled to find clothes that I like in High Street shops (and brands), so I've gone back to sewing my own clothes in the country style; pieces that will fit me well and will last for years. I will check out some of the brands you mentioned. Last month I visited the House of Bruar in Blair Atholl, while on holiday; I found a lovely long cardigan for myself and a nice paperboy hat for my husband. I don't know if you've been, but it is certainly a place to check out. Not only for clothes but for food, home decorations and soft furnishings too. And...there's a massive sale shop at the back of the complex; lots of lovely bargains from past seasons. We had a lovely time. Thanks for pointing out the brands to us, country style lovers 🥰

    In addition to the child labor aspect, buying vintage or new classic pieces that you keep for years is so much better for the environment. And buying natural fabrics that are breathable are much better for your skin. Your style is timeless and looks so well on you. Your “modern” red hairstyle and makeup keep it looking fresh. Perhaps you would consider a future vlog about your favorite style of jewelry. I am thinking classic pearls, hat pins and gold studs. 🥰

    Absolutely loved this video as I was always curious how your cheery and very classic but fun style evolved. Thank you! I was initially drawn to your channel because I am obsessed with the 1920’s and your darling “Louise Brooks” hairstyle. Louise was a movie star in the 20’s in the US and she’s known for the iconic hairstyle you wear so beautifully! I have curly hair and would have to battle my curly q’s if I wore my hair that short but it’s my fave hairstyle- so chic and sassy! Love it! Thank you Kirsten~ also was happy to see that you showcased your fox hunting shirt, I love so much!

    Kudos to you, Kirsten, on stepping away from fast fashion. We have been conditioned to constantly shop, shop, shop and it is such a waste of time and money! I too have made the same decision, making many of my new clothes to fit me perfectly (which is not cheap and takes a lot of time!) but I now have a wardrobe that I totally love and looks great on me. I prefer things that are handmade, preferably from people who I have met. I do not throw away perfectly good things, just changing the way I get new ones. Less clutter in my home and my mind. This was a wonderful video as usual!

It is timeless elegance...Thank you for taking time to share brands we have never heard of. My daughter and i are particularly excited to order the shoes and boots. We wish the linen dress and skirt were floor length. We are both middle size people 5 foot 4 and when dresses/shirts go to the floor we look taller, feel more elegant and honestly we even walk slower/stand up taller...have better posture and enjoy our clothes more .... hardly any one wears floor length dress/skirt here in Texas but ...we 😎 DO and we always get compliments... we are learning to wear what we LOVE not what is trendy ...just like you 💗 yiippeee Yamamoto for being authentic!!!!

    Your style is darling, and I admire the thoughtful way that you came to it. Buying local, vintage, or secondhand is also good for our environment. Buying local reduces the amount of energy used for getting the product to the consumer. Vintage and secondhand purchases reduce our wasteful consumerism and the amount that we throw away into landfills. Good to hear that vintage Laura Ashley is valued. I enjoyed this video so much!

    I am so glad to have found your YT channel, and now your old blog, too! I'm here in the States, and also a longtime Anglophile. I guessed your dress was vintage Laura Ashley! I could rarely indulge in Laura Ashley in the 1980's and early '90's (or so I thought -- looking back, I see that my parsimony toward myself was misguided and unnecessary), when I was young and slim. Oh, how I adored the L.A. styles, both clothing and interiors! I have a similar style to yours (I also include some mixed-print rayon Bohemian dresses and some solid shift-style dresses), and my latest indulgence is a few fit-and-flare Indian-made block-print cotton frocks bought from a local shop here. I'm 65, but I still love to twirl. I recently found cotton petticoats at a reasonable price on Amazon, so I am looking forward to popping one on under these dresses. Several years ago when I was still teaching primary grades and thinner than now, I bought quite a few things from Boden, which is British-based. In recent years, they have gotten away from their cotton and wool clothing (I especially loved their printed baby wale corduroy dresses), but I see that they appear to be bringing back more cottons. I have a couple of striped cotton knit dresses from them in the last several months, also twirl-worthy. I haven't worn my Oxford lace-ups in a while ... I must try them again. Sometimes I wear floral Dr Martens booties with my Boho floral dresses, for a California-girl look. (Or so I think.) Thank you so much for your presence on the internet, and for continuing to post! I really admire you and Joerg, and your honest, happy, upbeat videos! You are such a cute, fun couple, and obviously get along together so well and respectfully!

I didn't buy much as i also didn't like much stuff either. I wanted to tell you that when you see something you really like, and think you'll wear it, get it even if it's FF.
