My mom always told me that elegance is about being confident in who you are. She is the most elegant woman I know and definitely not in a traditional way, but anyone who knows her would agree with me.
I used to be very proud of being a masculine person, but since I came across Anna, I felt like maybe it was simply my defense mechanism, rather than being myself. Thank you for your teaching 💕
Yes... when I was younger, I was very masculine. As I get older, I realised like you did too, that it was to hide my true self which is much more feminine, that I feel vulnerable about. Eventually, due to problems in my romantic relationships, it drove me to really explore and uncover my true feminine self. I've been exploring for a few years, but since I started following Anna, I had much more guidance to do that and it helped me go even further...
Men don't teach each other how to behave, us women teach them what they can and cannot get away with, and what will and will not take them to where they wanna be with us
Weird little story here, but my skin recently became very sensitive to the sun (issues with my immune system) and with the warmer weather I found myself not being able to wear my usual shorts and tank tops anymore, so I started to pick long sleeved white blouses, pretty hats, big sunglasses etc to cover myself. People stop and stare, strangers compliment me and hold doors open for me... it's crazy. Even if I'm getting healthy again, I will probably keep dressing like this, it makes me feel like a celebrity :D Everything you teach about elegance is really true. Greetings and much love!
When I was diagnosed with lupus in 1998 and could no go in the sun unprotected by covering i went on a very very long style journey. My mother-in-law told me to wear big brimmed hats with scarves, sunglasses 😎 lol I started noticing that people were staring and whispering and actually asking me if i was a model or actress. Flash forward to 2020 I am known for my stylish hat collections by all of the people who know and love me! 😁making the best of a difficult situation lol 😂 I just realized that I used my hubby’s acct!!! He’s not wearing the hats, scarves and sunglasses 😎 I am.
I truly think many men also don't have mentors or know how to treat women the proper way. They are not intentional about their lack of chivalry, and manners. They just don't know any better. Like many women, mainstream and pop culture is their reference. I think a video for them on how to treat a lady would super helpful to forward to all our awkward, nerdy, unrefined, and insecure male friends in our lives who I know are hungry for help. The video on why men should always pay is one of my favorites for them. Since explaining this concept that has always been implemented in my personal life, not a single one contested to it. Much love to you beautiful Anna!
You're so right. I think a lot comes from the upbringing and role models we have when growing up. Very sad, because in America itself more than 22 million children across the country under the age of 18 are being raised without a dad at home. There's just that much a busy single mum can do. I've worked with some guys helping them to learn how to be a gentleman and how to treat a lady. But they're the willing ones..
There’s a channel Real Men Real Style that’s teaches men to dress elegantly but they talk about attitude too. I recommend this channel to men who want to level up.
Hi Anna how lovely to see you are back. Let me tell you a story ( hope I wont bore you) my father passed away in 2005 he was my best friend and a very wise man a true gentleman. We have a farm and when I was alittle girl there was a lady that owned a farm about 10 miles away she lived alone and was very wealthy but didnt take care of herself she had rough big hands and dont think she had ever heard of a dentist !!!!!!. When she would go to markets men would talk to her like she was one of them !"never helping her to lift a heavy box or holding the door for her. When my darling father passed away she came to see me to offer her condolences. One thing stuck in my mind until this day. She said your dad was a true gentleman and the only man that ever made me feel like a lady. I ask her what did she mean. She said he was the only man that treated me like a lady the only man that did not use bad language in front of her and even held a door for her. I was and am very proud of my father until this day. That is why my sister and myself and my beatiful daughter are stylish elegant ladies today. Being elegant is not being a snub no no being elegant is making others feel good about themselves elegance radiates from a true lady. It's as easy as breathing . Takecare Anna n all.😇
What I get from the story is that your father was an example of elegance, and more importantly, compassion, too. Sounds like he was a great person. Thanks for sharing this memory.
For me how to be an elegant and classy lady comes from my mom, she always had a good taste how a lady should be dressed up, look like and behave. She is a bit more conservative than me, but she is my idol and my very first teacher. In my opinion a true elegant lady is a high value woman, who knows her worth, who treats everyone with kindness, which is feminine and soft, but at the same time have a strong personality to resist unfairness.
6:51 I'm 26, I m still a virgin and I've never kissed a guy! 😂 I feel so behind everyone else around me... But then again, theres not much to choose from where I live... nothing but lazy BOYS... no real MEN available it seems... 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Its true that its better to rather be alone than with someone you dont feel good with. However, I do think a woman deserves love and the happiness of having a loved one, a partner. Well, you are actually missing out in life in my opinion. Maybe youre looking in the wrong places to find the right ones?
Thank you ladies! It's a spiritual thing for me too. I want to have all those things with the love of my life. I dont like the idea of sleeping around, it just isnt lady like. I also want it to be until I'm married to have sex, it seems like the more proper more lady like way for me. I have however recently met a guy, it is a long distance thing. I met him thru a friend at my job, he lives in California and I live in Oklahoma. He is going to college there to be a pediatrician. Hopefully our relationship will work out, he is nice so far! 😊❤
Please never compare yourself with anyone else, everyone's journey is different with different destinations so there is no general timeline. The next part of my comment you will not like, but I hope it will help you: we usually attract what it is in us (law of attraction), so if, for example, you attract only lazy man, think about how you treat yourself: are you too lazy to work out on most days and eat healthy and you preffer take out? This is just an example. If you want a real man, focus on being a real woman first, by taking care of yourself, having dreams and aspirations and working towards them and trust me when are fully busy with living and enjoying you life, a great man will appear out of nowhere, it has always worked like this for me.
Great video. Elegance has nothing to do with money. It's all in how one carries and presents herself; etiquette, manners and grace. I have lived a life of privilege. Being authentic and true to yourself. My mother is an exquisite woman of elegance. And again....modesty.
I think it would be fun for you to make a video about the different types of elegant women (i.e. Michelle Obama, Grace Kelly, Monica Belluci, Elle Woods), much like your video on the different types of rich men. That would solidify the idea of personality diversity among elegant ladies. 🌹
Thankyou for reminding us to strive for higher goals, to be authentic. To be her best, and never embarrassed, never making others uncomfortable. To be dependable, to know the right way to act and behave that brings out the best in others, makes them feel safe with you. Create an aura of being in control of your emotions and your life, in a quiet way. Always thoughtful and observant, considerate, even slick at handling situations with the least amount of friction. As if by magic! This is elegance with good humour. Unruffled! Pre empting, and moving like a martial arts ninja!
Love this video - in particular your focus on people being able to retain their own individual unique style whilst STILL remaining elegant. Beauty comes in so many different shapes and colours and forms, and a rainbow isn't just one colour. 💖 xx
You are amazing! First, you jumped into the conversation as though you were never gone - the mark of true friendship - and then in the most soothing way you told us what you had on your mind for today. What a 'belle' you are!
7:50 THIS. Couldn't have said it better. I always hear women saying that they shouldn't be judged just because they wear provocative clothes. Well right, you shouldn't, unfortunately that's not how the world works. I didn't make the rules.
@@mariapialombardi1958 I won't disagree with you, but I personally think that we need to dress how we want BUT according to the places we are supposed to go. I mean I think it's a bit disrespectful for example to go to church dressed the same way you go to the club etc.🤗
I have to disagree. We women must say that women and girls are equally valuable and deserving of respect regardless of how much skin they are showing. Also, we risk validating others when they judge us for not being “demure,” enough.
So interesting how the narrative has evolved from how to penetrate the elite social circles and emulate the elite to how to be elegant. I like both but shows evolution of the channel
Please would you do an updated makeup routine? I would love to see how you do your daily makeup since you have been looking even more beautiful recently and the makeup in your latest weightloss video was amazing! Much love!
I am doing your course. I am so pleased! I am going through coaching 8 of your book. Girl... you are making us work! No, seriously, I am enjoying this transformational journey. Your program is top class. I would recommend you don't take it down, it's a classic.
Thank you for all of your tips . What to wear when traveling by plane was most enlightening. It solved my dilemma and now I am much more comfortable and confident when I travel-and definitely more elegant.
Hi, Anna, A bit or constructive criticism, if I may? I don't know if you have a new video editor, but things look different... I feel like there are too many quick "close-ups" and "zoom outs" all throughout the video, happening all too frequently. It makes it a little difficult to watch. I realize that it's done to emphasize certain things said or certain phrases, and generally it's a great technique for editing and really works well, but in this case it's just happening all throughout the video and at times too much and too "choppy" . The sound and lighting are still great, and it's very nice to listen to the video, but when you try to watch it this becomes very distracting. A certain smoothness and easy flow of your older videos is gone. 🤷 P. S. You look great. ♥️
My grandma always thought me to always dress well even if it taking out the trash because in the end you don't know who will you encounter. She was quite an elegant woman and I'm refining myself on re-introducing myself with elegance.
You’ve so quickly become one of my favourite people to listen to 😻 I literally have had no one to tell me these things and I really appreciate it 🥺 thank youu ❤️❤️
I was reticent when I first encountered Ana's videos, but I'm realizing the more I watch that she is promoting feminism and femininity, also with self-respect and a myriad of empowering views. She managed to turn a skeptic into a fan. I appreciate the sentiment of this video, addressing the negative comments on other videos and explaining that we each can make our own elegant lives within our means and level-up to whatever we choose. The power is in our hands.
I agree on that too and it's one of the reasons I love this channel so much. Not as many will be so encouraging and authentic. Even how therapy is encouraged or how to take care of yourself (having savings...). I appreciate it so much.
I agree. I scoffed when I came across her video. Here I am a subscriber of hers looking forward to new videos and even went as far as watching all her old videos as well. Well done, Anna!
Anna, I'm a fitness coach. All fitness lovers need a video 'How to look elegant on the way to a GYM?'💮💪 I'm Ukrainian lady, and your English is perfect, I can understand you. Your videos help me to learn English and make myself better. Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
So well said, Anna. Thank you for this video and for your channel - I think you are doing women an excellent service with your insight. When I was in my late teens and early twenties I was very insecure and did not think I was attractive so I thought I had to dress very scantily to attract attention. Unfortunately for me, it took me many years to see that what I was attracting was not what at all what I wanted. I am now secure in myself and feel beautiful and confident and without any need to dress/behave like that anymore. In fact, I feel more attractive than ever. Listen up ladies, she knows what she is talking about.
My mother and grandmother were two of the most elegant and refined women I ever knew! Neither of them were boring, stuffy, or dressed covered from the neck down. They of course dressed elegantly and even when my sister and me were children my mother dressed us a notch above "play clothes". Both women had wonderful and playful personalities and laughed with the best of them. I have never thought of being elegant had anything to do with stiff and boring, quite the opposite. Thank you so much for these videos!!
Oh yes beautiful Anna! Elegance is definitely not super strict, you need to still be human and have your personality, you can be funny and be yourself and still be elegant! Being seductive and feminine is also very nice, our femininity is our strength as women 🌹 Such refreshing video! You look amazing as always 🤗
Dear Anna their are so many that’s copying from you and teaching but they don’t realize that you’ve been here first and I’ve been following you for sometime which has helped me so much thank you Anna you are a gem! In all honesty it’s a repeat elsewhere you are the original love always Sumayah
Thank you Ana, as an Italian my family is quiet close to me.. but I am embarrassed by them I have to say, when I think to be part of a high society. They have a construction company since two generations and I never take part of that because I couldn’t stands the grossness of the people I should have been surrounded for the rest of my life. I rebelled than many years ago, I studied philosophy, left home at 21 and started my journey. Next step is traveling more (corona permitting). At times I am insecure about putting effort in finding a companion of that level because of introducing the simplicity and roughness of my family behaviour and thinking. I feel as i may have no support from my side when relating to a well educated man probably coming from a family of culture that benefits of a such a support. My family is hard work for me. They are laud, talk non sense at times and unrefined. Sorry to be so direct, but these are my insecurities and I thought to share them. I never express openly this issue of embarrassment, but in this video you nailed it and I was thankful to heard that, that this things exist and I am no the only one and there may be acceptance, regardless ones background.
Awwwwh dear I feel you listen sweetheart if they supported you and they was nice an kid and carrying to u during all the hard times u ve been with then u should at least speak with them tell them the truth and I'm sure they ll understand u trust me having a family is a bless ,trust me I've been hurt by them since I was born that's why I closed my feelings towards them rn and I'm proud of my decision I forgive them but I'm also moving on and concentrating about my self and my career and you know what when u meet that partner he will love u for you and not for your family he will appreciate that u a strong educated lady he will be in love with u not your family so dear get over it and work on your self ❤u deserve happiness and u deserve the best so dont let small storms block the beautiful view
I think you nailed it Anna: Being "elegant" is not about others, it's all about yourself and also how you behave towards others. I liked very much that you pointed out that it's not necessary to display yourself to show your sexuality, which doesn't mean you are some kind of a"saintly" person. And finally, when I think about elegance somehow Audrey Hepburn comes to mind. Confident and understated.
Hi, Anna! You could make a video about club outfits that look still elegant, although the club is not necesserly the most elegant place to go. It would help a lot of young girls because the youth is very into clubs because it’s a form of fun and us, young girls, often asked ouerselves how we can dress for the club, but also elegant at the same time.
Hi , actually I wear classic clothes , I have several blazers , one cashmere coat which is winter white , I only wear loafers or court shoes with a heel, or ballet shoes , yes I wear jeans or classic trousers , but for me I wear white tee shirts under my blazers and jeans. But normally I have a chin level bob hairstyle , a little different being in lockdown., but every thing I wear is classic but I wear scarf and gloves ! But I am getting very mature but I have dressed this way for well over ten years. But I enjoy my clothes , my jewellery is delicate even my pearls ,
Hello Anna, thank you so much for this video. I started following you last year and I just want to say how much your work has changed my mindset and I think the best thing from this transformation is that I have truly begun to love myself. I don't want to be anyone but me. Through your advice, I'm just levelling up in my elegance and grace without going against my belief system. Plus, I love the tips you give on how to ooze sex appeal without being vulgar. I can't wait to show the world the new me!
Thank you for not being preachy. Everyone is at a different point on their journey toward becoming more elegant. I have watched some youtube channels where the women are talking about a type of femininity that is reminiscent of the 1940s or 50s and is very old fashioned. This may be fine for them, but I know that I'll always have to work and I just love your idea about adopting certain forms of elegance and build from there! Most women have a million and one things to do and it's good to be reminded that we don't have to have it all done by tomorrow!!!!!!
I don't know how I found your channel. And now I am starting to watch all of your videos. Because it teaches me a lot. It inspires me. Not to have a billionaire man but how to be elegantly successful in life. I am 21 and a scholar in a university here in UAE. And I am very grateful that I found this channel.
I hope more and more ladies will start following what you teach. It's a blessing to have a beautiful and elegant lady like you to teach and inspire us. Thank you so much.
Really such a beautiful and intelligent woman! Watching your videos has shattered all my assumptions about the upper class and you have shown me that classy/sophisticated does NOT mean snobby and close-minded!
As soon as I see a new video I immediately click on it!❤️✨ Edit: Also I was wondering if you could teach us on proper table manners (how to hold a wine glass, tea/coffe cups, in wich order to use utensils etc.) I do not really have a problem with my table manners but I would love to add more knowledge to my existing! Lots of love❤️
Sophia Loren is the epitome of elegance and she was raised dirt poor in the back streets of Napoli. She oozes class and sexuality at the same time. A prime example of what a classy woman is.
I am American and dated a Bulgarian guy who said it was normal for he and his girl/guy friends to openly talk about sex and their sex lives. I thought this was strange and viewed this as personal and private. Just the thought of his friends knowing that much detail about me felt violating. It seems nosy, because I did not share that same interest to know about their sex lives. Of course I told him I wasn't comfortable with that. I wonder if this is a sign of lacking elegance. If my friends and i talk about sex, it is about our interests, not about our relationships. We talk about private matters if we are seeking advice. Love your videos. Would love more vids of you going into stores and looking for elegant clothing and shoes! :)
@Amerizuelan Same in our culture (German) - one night stands to brag about or just for advice, but other than that you don't talk about it and it would be rude and disrespectful to your partner to do so.
Very true, I was employed by a Bulgaria he was very open about his relationships and sex life. It probably is their Culture. Was it appropriate, looking back at it? No. Not in the slightest. Discretion is always the better route.
Depends on the Bulgarian really. It was a thing for the older generations (like people in their thirties) but it is dying out. I personally feel the same way, I strongly dislike it and so do my friends, so I feel like (and hope) that this trend is going to disappear.
@Jessie Reidman I believe that is just your friend. I am a Haitian descendent and sex is a very private topic and is not discussed in our culture. Although since Haitians do take after the French it is possible some people are open to discussing theirs rendezvous. 🤭
@Jessie Reidman I am haitian and we usually don't talk about as women unless we feel really confortable with the person we are talking to. I think your friend really liked you and that's why she gave you all of these details.
I love that you're reminding us to stay true to who we are, not to obsess, & just really everything you said was so supportive. Definitely one of my favorite videos.
Such a beauty! ♥️ You’re my inspiration. Although I have found my man but I still look upto your content. I think people really misjudge you and your work; because it is about refining oneself so that one can stand upto anyone and everyone in the society without feeling any less, rather than just about finding any sugar daddy. Keep inspiring! Love & wishes from India 🇮🇳💕
About this video, the first that came to mind was: 'perfect!' but as you said; 'Perfection doesn't exist.' And that is true. Close to perfect, excellent and very mind-opening I found everything you communicated!
YES!! To what you are saying at the start of the video. elegance is a general code of conduct to live by, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself or let your hair down from time to time
Thank you Anna! Affluent lifestyle or money never were and will be my goals in life. But the reason I like to listen to you- you are always talking about elevating yourself, becoming best version of yourself and having respect- to yourself, to everything and everybody. All that hand in hand with being who you really , truly are. These are very universal teachings. Scientific and spiritual at the same time. I hope that one day this will be common, everyday knowledge that will benefit humanity. Now let me be elegant lady living in the middle of forest, gardening and cooking for my family and community, teaching my little daughter self respect and love to the World.
You got so much power in your voice Anna and you know how to deliver a message. I was feeling so sloppy and hearing you speak about elegance motivated me and I really felt that elegance comes from with in first and no matter how my surrounds are I have to stay elegant in the way I act and think. Thank you.❤️
I’m glad you made this video. Through your lessons, I am learning about the importance of making our transformation journey to be an individualized one. It is about working with what we already have and how to continually improve ourselves - not about drastically changing ourselves to become clones of a specific elegance stereotype, persona, or look. I’m not here to try to deviate from my personal style or personality to impress someone for a moment in time... I’m here to learn about how to incorporate more elegant, QUALITY habits, clothing materials, etc. into my everyday life so that I can be more elegant and feel great on an everyday basis! I wish I could afford your SOA course because I’m so excited to learn more.
Thank you for the video, Anna! I have two questions that piggyback on what you said: 1) What if our natural personality is one that is not typically seen as elegant? For example, if we’re a little bit silly or childlike. 2) Can you talk more about having embarrassing or inelegant family members?
RoaringMind only you get to choose who you want to be. You either choose to be silly, or grow emotionally and respond differently. No one is confined to their personalities, we are allowed to change. And that doesn’t mean loosing yourself, just upgrading.
Anna, I am still shook of how well spoken you are, your way of talking, your view on life and your content make you stand out from others on youtube ♥️
Elegance is an inward process of connecting with yourself authentically, kindness etc and that transpires outwardly as elegance....If I know myself better and treat myself with love, respect and kindness will automatically be the way I treat other people...school of affluence is an amazing platform that teaches us all the time how to prioritise ourselves and elegance become our second nature. Thank you my dear elegant Anna
The editing cuts zooming in and out is quite too much. I can’t even watch my eyes can’t handle it. Please keep edit zoomed out the whole time so I can focus on what you’re saying! Thanks
I second this, it's a little bit too much for an elegance channel...the zooming in and out all the time gives it a cheap vibe imo maybe some smoother transitions would look better
I do agree that maybe there are too many zooms, but some of them I found funny. So maybe making the cuts more smooth and less of the zooms would be perfect!
Hey Anna, I recently turned 30 and I started exploring my feminity, so I'm on my journey to become more elegant. I really appreciate your videos and I would like to thank you as you are helping me discover myself.
Thank you for this video Anna. I grew up in a poor part of East London so elegance wasn’t ever a part of my life growing up. I am obsessed with your videos and elevating myself, but it’s so fabulous to know that I don’t have to lose my personality or style to become something I am not. I’m truthfully so grateful you conveyed this message and I will continue to support you as I always have 💗💗💗💗💗
This was a really insightful video. Thank you for showing us the inclusivity of your channel. I know I don’t have the lavish lifestyle that so many of us identify with elegance, but I have benefited so much from watching your videos. I’m creating a life that is elegant for me by elevating my habits and slowly but surely, I’m seeing the transformation. Thank you 💕
I've been acting like a watered-down version of myself a lot lately to be accepted but i feel like people dont want me around as much compared to when i was just 'myself'
U could be "watered-down" to the point where ur not even existent, and ppl will still not accept or value you, you should simply start only caring about how you feel about yourself and be your best version. :)
Lovely Anna! You exude elegance and embody what you teach. A real example for all of us 💝 And I agree. Elegance is never tied to economy. My grandmother always use to say: "My girl, you can be poor but you will always have pedigree and breeding." It was her version of teaching me to be an elegant lady. I am also very grateful to my dad who took the time to teach us how to behave at 8 course dinners. He always said: "You will be able to accept an invitation to dinner with the queen and have impeccable etiquette!". He made us dress up in the most beautiful dresses for dinner and took us to every imaginable swanky place. He also took the time to culture us by taking us to museums and antiques shops. I am grateful for that education. Thank you Anna for furthering and maintaining that education.
Elegance begins with knowing who you are, what your values are, what you are aiming for and why. Elegance is working on yourself! Elegance goes hand in hand with intellectualism. Knowing the arts and actually having a character. It is about discovering yourself and respecting yourself and others. Personal boundaries are important, guidance and stability are important. The looks come in the process and afterwards. If none of the work is done - one turns into a snob.
Hi Anna , this video on modern day elegance is so needed today more than ever .. Femininity and focus are so important . You created such a welcome course
My mom always told me that elegance is about being confident in who you are. She is the most elegant woman I know and definitely not in a traditional way, but anyone who knows her would agree with me.
Wow!
Other than confidence, what is it about your mother that you find to be elegant?
Elegance is an attitude .
In my opinion , Isabella Rossellini is elegant.
eau neaux you're very lucky
I used to be very proud of being a masculine person, but since I came across Anna, I felt like maybe it was simply my defense mechanism, rather than being myself. Thank you for your teaching 💕
Wow. It takes a humble person to make such an admission. You are definitely on the right road.🙋♀️
It was the same with me. I thought I looked stronger but is really about personality
Good for you! I feel the same. If you'd like, check out SheRaSeven1's channel, you may like her content, like Anna, she is also changing my life!
Yes... when I was younger, I was very masculine. As I get older, I realised like you did too, that it was to hide my true self which is much more feminine, that I feel vulnerable about.
Eventually, due to problems in my romantic relationships, it drove me to really explore and uncover my true feminine self. I've been exploring for a few years, but since I started following Anna, I had much more guidance to do that and it helped me go even further...
You have really good insight into yourself. Very honest.
Hiii, anna, boys need your male version to teach them how to treat a woman in the right, kind and elegant way !!!❤❤❤💚💚
yes!!
I disagree, that's a man's job. (edit) there are plenty of men on UA-cam who have channels focusing on this.
agree
Men don't teach each other how to behave, us women teach them what they can and cannot get away with, and what will and will not take them to where they wanna be with us
I wish there was channels dedicated to this and men be interested in it
"A woman can be overdressed but never over elegant." - Coco Chanel
True that!
Very true, I will always be elegant no matter what 💓🌹
I always thought she was a very smart lady. ❤
what does it mean if you can explain
Weird little story here, but my skin recently became very sensitive to the sun (issues with my immune system) and with the warmer weather I found myself not being able to wear my usual shorts and tank tops anymore, so I started to pick long sleeved white blouses, pretty hats, big sunglasses etc to cover myself. People stop and stare, strangers compliment me and hold doors open for me... it's crazy. Even if I'm getting healthy again, I will probably keep dressing like this, it makes me feel like a celebrity :D
Everything you teach about elegance is really true.
Greetings and much love!
When I was diagnosed with lupus in 1998 and could no go in the sun unprotected by covering i went on a very very long style journey. My mother-in-law told me to wear big brimmed hats with scarves, sunglasses 😎 lol I started noticing that people were staring and whispering and actually asking me if i was a model or actress. Flash forward to 2020 I am known for my stylish hat collections by all of the people who know and love me! 😁making the best of a difficult situation lol 😂 I just realized that I used my hubby’s acct!!! He’s not wearing the hats, scarves and sunglasses 😎 I am.
Same here! Needing to up my hat/ linen game. And good stores for this?
That happened to me when i had surgery, my boss started to call me "celebrity" 😂
Richard Heilweil are you male or female ? This information is for “ ladies “ just to clarify
@@dianakyanjoshe said she realized she used her hubby's acct and it's not him
I truly think many men also don't have mentors or know how to treat women the proper way. They are not intentional about their lack of chivalry, and manners. They just don't know any better. Like many women, mainstream and pop culture is their reference. I think a video for them on how to treat a lady would super helpful to forward to all our awkward, nerdy, unrefined, and insecure male friends in our lives who I know are hungry for help. The video on why men should always pay is one of my favorites for them. Since explaining this concept that has always been implemented in my personal life, not a single one contested to it. Much love to you beautiful Anna!
You're so right. I think a lot comes from the upbringing and role models we have when growing up. Very sad, because in America itself more than 22 million children across the country under the age of 18 are being raised without a dad at home. There's just that much a busy single mum can do. I've worked with some guys helping them to learn how to be a gentleman and how to treat a lady. But they're the willing ones..
Older men or men who grew up affluent seem to know how to treat women from my experience.
When I say older, I mean old.
There’s a channel Real Men Real Style that’s teaches men to dress elegantly but they talk about attitude too. I recommend this channel to men who want to level up.
yes! exactly!
Hi Anna how lovely to see you are back. Let me tell you a story ( hope I wont bore you) my father passed away in 2005 he was my best friend and a very wise man a true gentleman. We have a farm and when I was alittle girl there was a lady that owned a farm about 10 miles away she lived alone and was very wealthy but didnt take care of herself she had rough big hands and dont think she had ever heard of a dentist !!!!!!. When she would go to markets men would talk to her like she was one of them !"never helping her to lift a heavy box or holding the door for her. When my darling father passed away she came to see me to offer her condolences. One thing stuck in my mind until this day. She said your dad was a true gentleman and the only man that ever made me feel like a lady. I ask her what did she mean. She said he was the only man that treated me like a lady the only man that did not use bad language in front of her and even held a door for her. I was and am very proud of my father until this day. That is why my sister and myself and my beatiful daughter are stylish elegant ladies today. Being elegant is not being a snub no no being elegant is making others feel good about themselves elegance radiates from a true lady. It's as easy as breathing . Takecare Anna n all.😇
Princess Julia 🥰
What I get from the story is that your father was an example of elegance, and more importantly, compassion, too. Sounds like he was a great person. Thanks for sharing this memory.
What a lovely story! Have you ever considered making videos to share your family’s views on elegance?
Wonderful!
What a nice story! Thank you for sharing it.
We need to clone Anna for the future generations just in case vulgarity wins the battle. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪💕
They already won it ! :(
Yeah!
Hi from Belgium too 😁
@@ba6167 I still think there is hope, but with the influence of the mainstream media vulgarity indeed has find a way to stay.
@@CiaraHilton yay!
For me how to be an elegant and classy lady comes from my mom, she always had a good taste how a lady should be dressed up, look like and behave. She is a bit more conservative than me, but she is my idol and my very first teacher.
In my opinion a true elegant lady is a high value woman, who knows her worth, who treats everyone with kindness, which is feminine and soft, but at the same time have a strong personality to resist unfairness.
I absolutely love that you refer to your mother as your idol. What an adoring and generous thing to say about one’s parent.
Such a perfect mother 🌸
I'm a 15 year old, suddenly I became a little bit "obsessed" with elegance, this video helped me a lot!
You can look elegant even riding a motorcycle and being covered in machine oil. It is all about your self-presentation and inner class. Cheers, Anna.
❤️
I rocked my bike. I’m currently elegant gardening. I like messy elegant hobbies.
Loren Renee lol 😂
Exactly. You can be a lady and work in a welding facility, or you can be a vulgar woman wearing finest clothes from a boutique
Nothing elegant about the motorcycle, look at the Angels 😟
6:51
I'm 26, I m still a virgin and I've never kissed a guy! 😂
I feel so behind everyone else around me...
But then again, theres not much to choose from where I live... nothing but lazy BOYS... no real MEN available it seems... 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Be proud of yourself!! Hold out for your soulmate, it will be so worth it and it will happen.
Its true that its better to rather be alone than with someone you dont feel good with. However, I do think a woman deserves love and the happiness of having a loved one, a partner. Well, you are actually missing out in life in my opinion. Maybe youre looking in the wrong places to find the right ones?
Thank you ladies! It's a spiritual thing for me too. I want to have all those things with the love of my life. I dont like the idea of sleeping around, it just isnt lady like. I also want it to be until I'm married to have sex, it seems like the more proper more lady like way for me. I have however recently met a guy, it is a long distance thing. I met him thru a friend at my job, he lives in California and I live in Oklahoma. He is going to college there to be a pediatrician. Hopefully our relationship will work out, he is nice so far! 😊❤
Please never compare yourself with anyone else, everyone's journey is different with different destinations so there is no general timeline. The next part of my comment you will not like, but I hope it will help you: we usually attract what it is in us (law of attraction), so if, for example, you attract only lazy man, think about how you treat yourself: are you too lazy to work out on most days and eat healthy and you preffer take out? This is just an example. If you want a real man, focus on being a real woman first, by taking care of yourself, having dreams and aspirations and working towards them and trust me when are fully busy with living and enjoying you life, a great man will appear out of nowhere, it has always worked like this for me.
Crystal Le ...so true just wait dear.... God has a plan for you be patient!!!
The queen of Elegance is back ❤️❤️❤️
Great video. Elegance has nothing to do with money. It's all in how one carries and presents herself; etiquette, manners and grace. I have lived a life of privilege. Being authentic and true to yourself. My mother is an exquisite woman of elegance. And again....modesty.
I think it would be fun for you to make a video about the different types of elegant women (i.e. Michelle Obama, Grace Kelly, Monica Belluci, Elle Woods), much like your video on the different types of rich men. That would solidify the idea of personality diversity among elegant ladies. 🌹
Great idea!
I would love this!
That's a great idea.
I second that
Great idea😎😎😎
Thankyou for reminding us to strive for higher goals, to be authentic. To be her best, and never embarrassed, never making others uncomfortable. To be dependable, to know the right way to act and behave that brings out the best in others, makes them feel safe with you. Create an aura of being in control of your emotions and your life, in a quiet way. Always thoughtful and observant, considerate, even slick at handling situations with the least amount of friction. As if by magic! This is elegance with good humour. Unruffled! Pre empting, and moving like a martial arts ninja!
she changed my life !
Elegance is a lifestyle as you mentioned. It is as simple as correcting your posture and the way you carry yourself. Start there!
Love this video - in particular your focus on people being able to retain their own individual unique style whilst STILL remaining elegant. Beauty comes in so many different shapes and colours and forms, and a rainbow isn't just one colour. 💖 xx
You are amazing! First, you jumped into the conversation as though you were never gone - the mark of true friendship - and then in the most soothing way you told us what you had on your mind for today. What a 'belle' you are!
7:50 THIS. Couldn't have said it better. I always hear women saying that they shouldn't be judged just because they wear provocative clothes. Well right, you shouldn't, unfortunately that's not how the world works. I didn't make the rules.
But there wouldn't be a change in society's rules and perceptions if you encourage or passively accepts this type of stereotype
That's why we all need to work together to change those "rules"
@@mariapialombardi1958 I won't disagree with you, but I personally think that we need to dress how we want BUT according to the places we are supposed to go. I mean I think it's a bit disrespectful for example to go to church dressed the same way you go to the club etc.🤗
So true
I have to disagree. We women must say that women and girls are equally valuable and deserving of respect regardless of how much skin they are showing. Also, we risk validating others when they judge us for not being “demure,” enough.
So interesting how the narrative has evolved from how to penetrate the elite social circles and emulate the elite to how to be elegant. I like both but shows evolution of the channel
Great comment
Please would you do an updated makeup routine? I would love to see how you do your daily makeup since you have been looking even more beautiful recently and the makeup in your latest weightloss video was amazing! Much love!
I am doing your course. I am so pleased! I am going through coaching 8 of your book. Girl... you are making us work! No, seriously, I am enjoying this transformational journey. Your program is top class. I would recommend you don't take it down, it's a classic.
Nadine when is it taken down?
Thank you for all of your tips . What to wear when traveling by plane was most enlightening.
It solved my dilemma and now I am much more comfortable and confident when I travel-and definitely more elegant.
"Elegance is the only beauty that never fades." One of my fav quotes 💖
I really liked the idea that elegance is not being boring nor picture perfect! Loved it ! Thank you Anna😗
Hi, Anna,
A bit or constructive criticism, if I may? I don't know if you have a new video editor, but things look different... I feel like there are too many quick "close-ups" and "zoom outs" all throughout the video, happening all too frequently. It makes it a little difficult to watch. I realize that it's done to emphasize certain things said or certain phrases, and generally it's a great technique for editing and really works well, but in this case it's just happening all throughout the video and at times too much and too "choppy" . The sound and lighting are still great, and it's very nice to listen to the video, but when you try to watch it this becomes very distracting. A certain smoothness and easy flow of your older videos is gone. 🤷
P. S. You look great. ♥️
Yup I felt dizzy the whole video
I also don't like the wuzz sound when you change the scene...but because I love you anna...I would bare with it 😁 I still listened until the end
Usually I listen more than watch the vídeo, but I totally agree with you.
@@kpr6982 haha, that's kind of how I felt too - slightly disoriented. Hopefully Anna will take another look at the editing.
Yes, I agree. The jump shots were way too much. I had to stop watching and just listen instead like a podcast.
Please teach us more dating and communicate skills ☺🌹
So cute uniform 😀😍👍
My grandma always thought me to always dress well even if it taking out the trash because in the end you don't know who will you encounter. She was quite an elegant woman and I'm refining myself on re-introducing myself with elegance.
You’ve so quickly become one of my favourite people to listen to 😻 I literally have had no one to tell me these things and I really appreciate it 🥺 thank youu ❤️❤️
Same. I hope I can do better with my own daughter❣
I totally agree
I was reticent when I first encountered Ana's videos, but I'm realizing the more I watch that she is promoting feminism and femininity, also with self-respect and a myriad of empowering views. She managed to turn a skeptic into a fan. I appreciate the sentiment of this video, addressing the negative comments on other videos and explaining that we each can make our own elegant lives within our means and level-up to whatever we choose. The power is in our hands.
I agree on that too and it's one of the reasons I love this channel so much. Not as many will be so encouraging and authentic. Even how therapy is encouraged or how to take care of yourself (having savings...). I appreciate it so much.
I agree. I scoffed when I came across her video. Here I am a subscriber of hers looking forward to new videos and even went as far as watching all her old videos as well. Well done, Anna!
“Elegance is a mindset..” I LOVE that ❤️
“Elegance is not tied to economy, background, race, who you are, who you are, where you live, what you look like..” needed to hear that!
Anna, I'm a fitness coach. All fitness lovers need a video 'How to look elegant on the way to a GYM?'💮💪 I'm Ukrainian lady, and your English is perfect, I can understand you. Your videos help me to learn English and make myself better. Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
Yes I’d love to watch how to be elegant at the gym or outdoor work outs☺️
So well said, Anna. Thank you for this video and for your channel - I think you are doing women an excellent service with your insight. When I was in my late teens and early twenties I was very insecure and did not think I was attractive so I thought I had to dress very scantily to attract attention. Unfortunately for me, it took me many years to see that what I was attracting was not what at all what I wanted. I am now secure in myself and feel beautiful and confident and without any need to dress/behave like that anymore. In fact, I feel more attractive than ever. Listen up ladies, she knows what she is talking about.
My mother and grandmother were two of the most elegant and refined women I ever knew! Neither of them were boring, stuffy, or dressed covered from the neck down. They of course dressed elegantly and even when my sister and me were children my mother dressed us a notch above "play clothes". Both women had wonderful and playful personalities and laughed with the best of them. I have never thought of being elegant had anything to do with stiff and boring, quite the opposite. Thank you so much for these videos!!
Oh yes beautiful Anna! Elegance is definitely not super strict, you need to still be human and have your personality, you can be funny and be yourself and still be elegant! Being seductive and feminine is also very nice, our femininity is our strength as women 🌹
Such refreshing video! You look amazing as always 🤗
Dear Anna their are so many that’s copying from you and teaching but they don’t realize that you’ve been here first and I’ve been following you for sometime which has helped me so much thank you Anna you are a gem! In all honesty it’s a repeat elsewhere you are the original love always Sumayah
Thank you Ana, as an Italian my family is quiet close to me.. but I am embarrassed by them I have to say, when I think to be part of a high society. They have a construction company since two generations and I never take part of that because I couldn’t stands the grossness of the people I should have been surrounded for the rest of my life. I rebelled than many years ago, I studied philosophy, left home at 21 and started my journey. Next step is traveling more (corona permitting). At times I am insecure about putting effort in finding a companion of that level because of introducing the simplicity and roughness of my family behaviour and thinking. I feel as i may have no support from my side when relating to a well educated man probably coming from a family of culture that benefits of a such a support. My family is hard work for me. They are laud, talk non sense at times and unrefined. Sorry to be so direct, but these are my insecurities and I thought to share them. I never express openly this issue of embarrassment, but in this video you nailed it and I was thankful to heard that, that this things exist and I am no the only one and there may be acceptance, regardless ones background.
Awwwwh dear I feel you listen sweetheart if they supported you and they was nice an kid and carrying to u during all the hard times u ve been with then u should at least speak with them tell them the truth and I'm sure they ll understand u trust me having a family is a bless ,trust me I've been hurt by them since I was born that's why I closed my feelings towards them rn and I'm proud of my decision I forgive them but I'm also moving on and concentrating about my self and my career and you know what when u meet that partner he will love u for you and not for your family he will appreciate that u a strong educated lady he will be in love with u not your family so dear get over it and work on your self ❤u deserve happiness and u deserve the best so dont let small storms block the beautiful view
Thank you Ma Ya for your comments, much appreciated ❤️
I think you nailed it Anna: Being "elegant" is not about others, it's all about yourself and also how you behave towards others. I liked very much that you pointed out that it's not necessary to display yourself to show your sexuality, which doesn't mean you are some kind of a"saintly" person. And finally, when I think about elegance somehow Audrey Hepburn comes to mind. Confident and understated.
Hi, Anna! You could make a video about club outfits that look still elegant, although the club is not necesserly the most elegant place to go. It would help a lot of young girls because the youth is very into clubs because it’s a form of fun and us, young girls, often asked ouerselves how we can dress for the club, but also elegant at the same time.
Ioana Filipescu YES! I love to go clubbing and I like to wear less clothes since I’m dancing so much.
yes pleaseee
Hi , actually I wear classic clothes , I have several blazers , one cashmere coat which is winter white , I only wear loafers or court shoes with a heel, or ballet shoes , yes I wear jeans or classic trousers , but for me I wear white tee shirts under my blazers and jeans. But normally I have a chin level bob hairstyle , a little different being in lockdown., but every thing I wear is classic but I wear scarf and gloves ! But I am getting very mature but I have dressed this way for well over ten years. But I enjoy my clothes , my jewellery is delicate even my pearls ,
I love your style
“It’s nice to give a little flavour, but it’s not really nice to give a whole buffet.” We love you Anna😂❤️
You're glowing Anna🌹 thank you for everything
This pola dots look so cute on u...😘🤗💝
Hello Anna, thank you so much for this video. I started following you last year and I just want to say how much your work has changed my mindset and I think the best thing from this transformation is that I have truly begun to love myself. I don't want to be anyone but me. Through your advice, I'm just levelling up in my elegance and grace without going against my belief system. Plus, I love the tips you give on how to ooze sex appeal without being vulgar. I can't wait to show the world the new me!
Elegance Grace. What a stunning name
@@greenlimabean Thank you!
"Elegance: small things that elevates you"... thanks, my dear elegant lady! Best regards from Brazil!
Thank you for not being preachy. Everyone is at a different point on their journey toward becoming more elegant. I have watched some youtube channels where the women are talking about a type of femininity that is reminiscent of the 1940s or 50s and is very old fashioned. This may be fine for them, but I know that I'll always have to work and I just love your idea about adopting certain forms of elegance and build from there! Most women have a million and one things to do and it's good to be reminded that we don't have to have it all done by tomorrow!!!!!!
Such perfect advice! An elegant person can be extremely sensual without venturing into overtly sexual / vulgar dress and behavior
I don't know how I found your channel. And now I am starting to watch all of your videos. Because it teaches me a lot. It inspires me. Not to have a billionaire man but how to be elegantly successful in life. I am 21 and a scholar in a university here in UAE. And I am very grateful that I found this channel.
I’m so early. You’re looking as great as ever, Anna! 🤍
🤗🤗👍
I hope more and more ladies will start following what you teach. It's a blessing to have a beautiful and elegant lady like you to teach and inspire us. Thank you so much.
This is the most positive n motivating thing I heard since lockdown🥰
Really such a beautiful and intelligent woman! Watching your videos has shattered all my assumptions about the upper class and you have shown me that classy/sophisticated does NOT mean snobby and close-minded!
As soon as I see a new video I immediately click on it!❤️✨ Edit: Also I was wondering if you could teach us on proper table manners (how to hold a wine glass, tea/coffe cups, in wich order to use utensils etc.) I do not really have a problem with my table manners but I would love to add more knowledge to my existing! Lots of love❤️
I never clicked so fast! Great to see you uploading more videos, Anna!
Sophia Loren is the epitome of elegance and she was raised dirt poor in the back streets of Napoli. She oozes class and sexuality at the same time. A prime example of what a classy woman is.
That's true. I love her style!
You are such an articulate, perfectly well spoken and virtuous woman.
I am American and dated a Bulgarian guy who said it was normal for he and his girl/guy friends to openly talk about sex and their sex lives. I thought this was strange and viewed this as personal and private. Just the thought of his friends knowing that much detail about me felt violating. It seems nosy, because I did not share that same interest to know about their sex lives. Of course I told him I wasn't comfortable with that. I wonder if this is a sign of lacking elegance. If my friends and i talk about sex, it is about our interests, not about our relationships. We talk about private matters if we are seeking advice.
Love your videos. Would love more vids of you going into stores and looking for elegant clothing and shoes! :)
@Amerizuelan Same in our culture (German) - one night stands to brag about or just for advice, but other than that you don't talk about it and it would be rude and disrespectful to your partner to do so.
Very true, I was employed by a Bulgaria he was very open about his relationships and sex life. It probably is their Culture. Was it appropriate, looking back at it? No. Not in the slightest. Discretion is always the better route.
Depends on the Bulgarian really. It was a thing for the older generations (like people in their thirties) but it is dying out. I personally feel the same way, I strongly dislike it and so do my friends, so I feel like (and hope) that this trend is going to disappear.
@Jessie Reidman I believe that is just your friend. I am a Haitian descendent and sex is a very private topic and is not discussed in our culture. Although since Haitians do take after the French it is possible some people are open to discussing theirs rendezvous. 🤭
@Jessie Reidman I am haitian and we usually don't talk about as women unless we feel really confortable with the person we are talking to. I think your friend really liked you and that's why she gave you all of these details.
I love that you're reminding us to stay true to who we are, not to obsess, & just really everything you said was so supportive. Definitely one of my favorite videos.
I was here when Anna had few subscribers now she’s at 600k +. The progress yessss🥂
So true, Anna! It's so much more of an aura than what you're wearing or doing, and you actually emit the opposite when you try too hard.
Just what I’ve been waiting for in this Eid day, I am spending it by myself so this has made my morning ten times better!
Eid Mubarak!
Eid Mubarak ❤️
Eid mobarak !
Eid Mubarak to you all ❤️
en en Eid Mubarak to you too my fellow Moroccan ❤️
Thank u for existing
Thank you Anna. I always believed that elegance and femininity are a state of mind.
Such a beauty! ♥️ You’re my inspiration. Although I have found my man but I still look upto your content. I think people really misjudge you and your work; because it is about refining oneself so that one can stand upto anyone and everyone in the society without feeling any less, rather than just about finding any sugar daddy. Keep inspiring! Love & wishes from India 🇮🇳💕
Anna, please show us how to wear elegant outfits in the everyday scenario! :)
About this video, the first that came to mind was: 'perfect!' but as you said; 'Perfection doesn't exist.' And that is true. Close to perfect, excellent and very mind-opening I found everything you communicated!
I’ve learned the hard way! Men shouldn’t be over stimulated, they will despise it over time.
YES!! To what you are saying at the start of the video. elegance is a general code of conduct to live by, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself or let your hair down from time to time
So well spoken, compassionate, and diplomatic 💕
Thank you Anna! Affluent lifestyle or money never were and will be my goals in life. But the reason I like to listen to you- you are always talking about elevating yourself, becoming best version of yourself and having respect- to yourself, to everything and everybody. All that hand in hand with being who you really , truly are. These are very universal teachings. Scientific and spiritual at the same time. I hope that one day this will be common, everyday knowledge that will benefit humanity. Now let me be elegant lady living in the middle of forest, gardening and cooking for my family and community, teaching my little daughter self respect and love to the World.
I appreciate your videos so much !!
You got so much power in your voice Anna and you know how to deliver a message. I was feeling so sloppy and hearing you speak about elegance motivated me and I really felt that elegance comes from with in first and no matter how my surrounds are I have to stay elegant in the way I act and think. Thank you.❤️
Check out how Grace Kelly was dressing and you will never look boring or vulgar 🥰
Oh!!! Thank you! thank you! thank you!!!!! ♥️❤️❤️❤️♥️ I've found a rare pearl 💋😘
Right! And she was not boring. She was feisty. But in an elegant way
Or Dita Von Teese, my idol. So graceful and elegant even considering that she wears low decolletage and yet somehow makes it work perfectly.
I’m glad you made this video. Through your lessons, I am learning about the importance of making our transformation journey to be an individualized one. It is about working with what we already have and how to continually improve ourselves - not about drastically changing ourselves to become clones of a specific elegance stereotype, persona, or look. I’m not here to try to deviate from my personal style or personality to impress someone for a moment in time... I’m here to learn about how to incorporate more elegant, QUALITY habits, clothing materials, etc. into my everyday life so that I can be more elegant and feel great on an everyday basis! I wish I could afford your SOA course because I’m so excited to learn more.
Thank you for the video, Anna! I have two questions that piggyback on what you said:
1) What if our natural personality is one that is not typically seen as elegant? For example, if we’re a little bit silly or childlike.
2) Can you talk more about having embarrassing or inelegant family members?
RoaringMind only you get to choose who you want to be. You either choose to be silly, or grow emotionally and respond differently. No one is confined to their personalities, we are allowed to change. And that doesn’t mean loosing yourself, just upgrading.
I appreciate your realism in this video especially and just presenting both ideas with your opinion, it really helps you understand these ideas better
NEVER BEEN HERE THIS EARLY!
Anna, I am still shook of how well spoken you are, your way of talking, your view on life and your content make you stand out from others on youtube ♥️
Elegant dots. Loves from Germany!!
Elegance is an inward process of connecting with yourself authentically, kindness etc and that transpires outwardly as elegance....If I know myself better and treat myself with love, respect and kindness will automatically be the way I treat other people...school of affluence is an amazing platform that teaches us all the time how to prioritise ourselves and elegance become our second nature. Thank you my dear elegant Anna
The editing cuts zooming in and out is quite too much. I can’t even watch my eyes can’t handle it. Please keep edit zoomed out the whole time so I can focus on what you’re saying! Thanks
I actually found the zooms funny and interesting
Typical Karen behavior...
I second this, it's a little bit too much for an elegance channel...the zooming in and out all the time gives it a cheap vibe imo maybe some smoother transitions would look better
I do agree that maybe there are too many zooms, but some of them I found funny. So maybe making the cuts more smooth and less of the zooms would be perfect!
I agree. Had to switch off. My eyes couldn't handle the constant switching.
Hey Anna, I recently turned 30 and I started exploring my feminity, so I'm on my journey to become more elegant. I really appreciate your videos and I would like to thank you as you are helping me discover myself.
Thank you for this video Anna. I grew up in a poor part of East London so elegance wasn’t ever a part of my life growing up. I am obsessed with your videos and elevating myself, but it’s so fabulous to know that I don’t have to lose my personality or style to become something I am not. I’m truthfully so grateful you conveyed this message and I will continue to support you as I always have 💗💗💗💗💗
This was a really insightful video. Thank you for showing us the inclusivity of your channel. I know I don’t have the lavish lifestyle that so many of us identify with elegance, but I have benefited so much from watching your videos. I’m creating a life that is elegant for me by elevating my habits and slowly but surely, I’m seeing the transformation. Thank you 💕
I've been acting like a watered-down version of myself a lot lately to be accepted but i feel like people dont want me around as much compared to when i was just 'myself'
U could be "watered-down" to the point where ur not even existent, and ppl will still not accept or value you, you should simply start only caring about how you feel about yourself and be your best version. :)
Me too...
Then have a good look at these people around you and decide if they are good for you...
Anna, this is your best video according to me where you have said that regardless of the budget, be the best elegant version of yourself!!!!
Would you ever consider doing some kind of retreat? Like a weekend retreat.
Yes! Completely agree! Thanks for sharing. You are beautiful inside and out! Keep inspiring!😊
Please do a video on what elegant lady should read to be more informed. Thank you.
Lovely Anna! You exude elegance and embody what you teach. A real example for all of us 💝 And I agree. Elegance is never tied to economy. My grandmother always use to say: "My girl, you can be poor but you will always have pedigree and breeding." It was her version of teaching me to be an elegant lady. I am also very grateful to my dad who took the time to teach us how to behave at 8 course dinners. He always said: "You will be able to accept an invitation to dinner with the queen and have impeccable etiquette!". He made us dress up in the most beautiful dresses for dinner and took us to every imaginable swanky place. He also took the time to culture us by taking us to museums and antiques shops. I am grateful for that education. Thank you Anna for furthering and maintaining that education.
💗 Anna's BACK in town!!!! 😊
Anna Bey, you are by far one of the most inspiring and influential women I have come across through an online platform.
Elegance begins with knowing who you are, what your values are, what you are aiming for and why. Elegance is working on yourself! Elegance goes hand in hand with intellectualism. Knowing the arts and actually having a character. It is about discovering yourself and respecting yourself and others. Personal boundaries are important, guidance and stability are important. The looks come in the process and afterwards. If none of the work is done - one turns into a snob.
Hi Anna , this video on modern day elegance is so needed today more than ever .. Femininity and focus are so important . You created such a welcome course
Love what you’re wearing, Anna!
Thank you Anna 💜from South Africa.
a bottle of water has never been so controversial. 😁😂
