Most of us have one material interest that we're passionate about. My best friend stalks ebay for vintage Barbie dolls and has spent a small fortune on them. I don't get it myself, but that is what makes her happy and that is her thing. My mom is the same way with fine china. One of Tiff's loves is designer stuff. When she calls her Chanel an investment piece I don't think she expects to become a billionaire by reselling it one day. She probably thinks that it is a good "investment" because she can use it forever. If she is selling old bags, so what? How many times have we just "needed" something so badly and then ended up not wearing it or liking it a year later? It isn't like she is selling family heirlooms or her wedding band on ebay.
All that being said she should consider using her TiffanyDTV channel for fashion hauls because there are probably a lot of people who don't really care about those (even though she probably thinks that beauty and fashion interests go hand in hand), and I can see how an overabundance of them kind of comes off as bragging and maybe a bit much.
I don't mind that Tiffany owns expensive, nice things. I have always believed that if you have the money to buy what you want, buy it. If you earn money, you should be able to do with it what you want. I own 8 Coach bags and 1 Michael Kors bag. No, they aren't as expensive as Chanel or LV but they are still expensive. So I get wanting nicer things that last longer.
My biggest problem (and most people's biggest problem) with her is that she comes off as showy and braggy about everything. Everything she posts about comes off like "I own this but you never will" kind of manner. She never talks about how blessed that she is. And I don't even mean that in a religious sense. But she never says that she is thankful for what she has. It's all about show. All the time. She's not humble. And that's the problem. She is not relateable to anyone because she acts like she is better than everyone.
I follow a bunch of people on youtube and IA, so I know you can be humble and show your things off without coming off like a selfish bitch. And IMO, that's how she comes off.
Also, what's wrong with doing one giveaway on a bag or makeup that she no longer wants or has never used? She doesn't have to give them out like crazy, but once a year would be nice. I have given expensive bags away that I no longer wanted because I think it's nice to give every once in a while. I would go crazy if I was as vapid as her. </rant>
