Honestly I don't mean to be rude at all but your clothes are not affordable for the majority of people. Would you consider adding some more affordable items?
Prices still high for average middle class person. Some of these outfits are for slim people. Your advisors can review JM collection which has styles for women with curved body.
if all you do is think about what others will judge you for what you say, you will never say anything. stop apologizing, and own your ideas and point of view. don't make excuses. be your true self.
Anna, I truly appreciate that in those old videos you were calling things for what they were. There are some situations in my life when I remind myself your words verbatim and make an intentional effort to act in a way I typically wouldn't. This has strengthened my relationships and helped me to overcome the wrong ideas that were ingrained in me since childhood. If you worded things differently, that might have not happened.
Hi Anna, the way your dresses are priced is not a rarity and well justified for a dress that is well tailored and made of natural materials like yours are. I personally think it's better to buy one, two dresses than buying all the cheap polyester stuff which by the way often costs as much. It's better for the planet and for your health. Maybe you have not found the right market and distribution. Did you consider Zalando, Nordstrom, Shopbop, etc? There are even cotton blankets that costs 300 USD.
Imagine this, you’re sipping coffee on a balcony overlooking a city skyline or lounging on a pristine beach, all while your investments are working their magic. With copytrading, you can finally pursue your passions, travel the world, and create unforgettable memories with your loved ones. It’s all thanks to the power of copytrading and the life you’ve always dreamed of!
Guess what? I’m celebrating a $500k stock portfolio today! It all started with a modest $70k, and I’ve been making smart investments that have paid off tremendously. Now, I have the time to enjoy my family and plan for the future. Copy trading has been a game-changer for me.
Can't share much here, I take guidance from ‘Matthew D Heck’ a renowned figure in his industry with over two decades of work experience. I'd suggest you research him further on the web.
I recently retired from the fashion industry in New York after 32 years. I worked for many large companies as well as people trying to do startups. No one realizes all the steps and money involved. Even if you tell them, they don't want to believe you. You got further in your firrst attempt then some experienced designers I know. Live and learn. I appreciate all that you do and have enjoyed watching you on your journey. I can't wait to see what the next few years brings you! All the best to you, Anna!
@@sherrydance144 hi! I am from Rio - Brazil, and think about starting designing bikinis. It’s a competitive market, but I think about something simple, yet original. I love the beach vibes and having fun with daily activities (so, I love bikinis and buy a lot of it).
Hi Jen! I don't know anything about the Brazilian market. Do your research and plan everything before you start. There are a lot of elements, as Anna has explained, and it can be very expensive. Start small and build up!
Jen speak to other bathing suit companies and see how they do things. Speak to tailors, a clothing distributor. Take a college adult class on your topic.get books from library.
I rarely comment on videos, but this time I can't resist to comment. I have been watching you for years now, and you have inspired me in so many ways. Not on how to get a rich boyfriend, or something, but to go through a levelling up journey for myself. To feel better in my own skin, to feel classy through my actions, to love the clothes I wear, and, most importantly, to stay true to myself, which sounds very basic but it's actually very hard to do. People will always judge others for whatever reason, but when we go to sleep at night, the most important thing is to feel at peace with ourselves. Thank you, Anna! You are a true gem in this fake world.
Anna, thank you for sharing your journey and adventures. You are amazing and your authenticity is of the highest. I love your style and the direct communication.
@ Fabulous. I do understand your desire to improve your communication skills (not that you need that), but in a world full of “sensitive people” I am tired of tip toeing around a subject or being politically correct in the name of “politeness” when sometimes you just need to push a boundary (or a button) lol. For me personally when the intention is genuine and not malicious, maybe we need to be told certain things directly and unapologetically ❤️
I found your channel way back when you were talking about elegance and style, and I loved that content, but I also love your content now. Your personality is unique and that's why I still watch your channel.
Exactly. Anna, you are famous for all those videos because people liked them. You helped a lot of people through those videos. Forget the haters. Some people just need to be told how to behave, so thank you. Please do not apologize for them. As the late Queen said, never explain, never complain.
I think it's important to be self-reflective. Maybe it comes across as explaining myself or being apologetic. I was hoping you would see how I work with my own self-awareness and identify areas where I can improve. Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it!
@@AnnaBeyOfficial we DO see your self-awareness and self reflection and that is another element of elegance. The Duchess of Sussex could really learn a thing or two from you Anna!
Nope you’re Anna and we love you just as you are. I think most people with sense have fully grasped and supported your transformation. We evolve and change and some people don’t want to come with us and that’s absolutely fine. We all experience failure, it’s how we surmount it and move forward that matters. Your key strength is to be self-analytical and A LOT of woman can learn from that. Keep doing you ❤
Thank you for this beautiful comment. I've never connected strength with being self-analytical before, as we're often told not to be so hard on ourselves... It's of course about keeping a balance, but you're right... being self-analytical actually is a good thing! It helps us grow, as long as it doesn't destruct us on the way
The old videos were fantastic - informative, educational, and your thoughts and ideas were always spot on. Who wants to look cheap? Quality above quantity. Always.
Anna I speak for myself and my sisters; your contents over the years has really helped elevate our status and thinking. I thank you very much. Please don't stop!❤❤❤
You are a glam lady. I am 70 today and agree with everything you have shared over the years.Not everyone gets it, do not pay attention to the haters.I have been married for 50 years to a Hungarian refugee; Had a BF years ago who had super wealthy family but money can not buy love.Just be true to your own code.
I still remember your old videos, you were always very frank especially when talking about your hot takes. 😂 I like that you addressed the way you communicated before. Not many people have self-awareness! Thank you for creating this channel ❤
Thank you for seeing the message in the video that I tried to showcase. Self-reflection is important and it's not necessarily coming from a place of self-deprecation. I believe in self-growth but one needs to have a lot of self-awareness to see what can be improved.
Girrrrl! Don’t apologize for being blunt. Who cares what other people are saying! You are a unique voice speaking your truth (and the truth of many other silent women as well). I value and appreciate your videos and perspectives. You do NOT come off as arrogant. A lot of the way you say things is very well-worded, well-spoken, and you’ve spoken about topics others may be too shy to speak up about! I hope you don’t change a thing about the delivery of your message no matter how that message is evolving over time. It would be a shame to lose a voice like yours, especially as we enter the Chinese year of the snake: a creature of both elegance and wisdom, which you EMBODY. Let the haters hate, but know you’ve got people watching who appreciate your videos JUST AS THEY ARE. A book I read this past month is called The Courage To Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi, and it fits this very topic. I hope you check it out. Don’t lose your freedom of expression by conforming to the people who are criticizing you! I love your channel- ALL of it.
Your candidness on your old videos is what made me subscribe to your channel and I am loving your transformation on every video you produce. Keep it up.❤
I’m loving the evolution of Anna Bey. Simpler yet still elegant, finding peace through animals and nature. Peace cannot be found in the chaos and noise in our world. Loving that one can still be elegant, classy and live a more quiet yet purposeful life.
You have been an important part of my own personal growth since your very first videos. Life is dynamic and so are we, we evolve and adapt. Nothing to feel embarrassed or ashamed about. ❤
I'm a small business owner who makes merchandise and I'm happy you're mentioning the difference between us and mass production. I hope education inspires people to shop small+local more often! Congrats on your efforts and your incredible product, even if short-lived and headachey!
I have been watching you for almost five years now and while I loved your first and more direct videos, I have also been enjoying this change and evolving into your more casual self with different topics. I feel like I have been evolving with you - five years is a lot of time, after all. Thank you for lighting up the way! Also, I have just bought the blue cotton dress you designed and I love it so much! The fabric is impeccable and soft and I feel amazing!
People are just sensitive, hurt, or bitter and want to gripe and complain about everything. To tell you the truth, I subscribed to your channel because you spoke about the various topics unfiltered and truthfully.
Thank you for being here! The unfiltered me will always be here, I just want to be able to learn how to communicate more clearly around sensitive topics that most people don't understand! I'm glad some individuals do understand however!
The worse as I see it is that it changed. You were direct and having a point of view and a courage to speak up, and that sincerely was the beauty of it. Now it’s all politically correct and toothless. I am still your subscriber because of great respect I gained during those years when you were maybe naive but direct and sincere. I miss that time a lot but respect your choice.
I don't think it's all politically correct these days, I think you're oversimplifying due to the nature that I don't speak about high-society much these days. The reason why I stopped that topic was because I got bored of it/was no longer as interested in the subject and wanted to expand in my topics. I do however understand if elegance as a subject feels more bland, but I do think we're still keeping it very honest in that department :)
Dear Anna, I have always admired your honesty and you don’t fluff around. It’s refreshing. I don’t have time to listen to people beating around the bush. I’ve watched all your vids. Some points you made in your fashion vids seemed superficial to me and I didnt care to know or stress about them ( they were just not important things in life for me to worry about). But eventhough I don’t sweat the small things and I don’t care about having designer stuff , I do like to look stylish, and I think you bring this to the table more than anything else…I don’t care about brands…but looking stylish and put together is something I luv ….and you remind me to be stylish and to look after myself and to care about my appearance on the level that I can for myself….and I’m happy with the result everytime and I enjoy making the effort….it always pays off…so thank you, thank you . I’m 55 and I do hope the younger girls out there learn this from you…you’re a lovely, classy influence and I wish you the very best always❤🇦🇺
Hi Anna! To answer your question about the part two of mistakes; YES PLEASE! As for your content over the years I really have enjoyed your wit and direct approach. I do think your communication style in these late 2024 videos strikes as more elegant but in a down to earth way that is more warm and welcoming. Overall I have gained something from all of your videos I have watched and have thoroughly enjoyed watching you try the different businesses avenues and have such fantastic transparency about your journey. Your growth from pre-2020 to now is absolutely incredible! Personally, 2023 was a big year for self discovery, healing, growth, and trial. This was the year I found your content and started watching from your earliest videos making my way to current ones. I actually had launched a small clothing line the summer of 2023 and also had so, so many mistakes that year. 2024 has been a year of answered prayers for myself, my marriage, and so many other small details started to fall into place. I hope this message articulates the deep and sincere gratitude for all of your time and energy into the videos, cheat sheets, and so much more. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, and may 2025 bring you many blessings!
I'm sorry to hear about your clothing line. I think what you created was really beautiful and I really appreciated the effort you put in to make sure that the quality and ethics were there. I understand why you'd want to close it down and focus on your core values, though. Excited for your content in the upcoming year!
There are plenty of of us who appreciate your candid and open, direct communication. Dont let mean youtube comments affect you and make you question yourself. Your clothing line is beautiful, and one can tell the quality in fabrics and design.
I completely understand how you feel, Ana. I recently decided to close my online store as well because the stress was becoming overwhelming. With the ongoing Canada Post strikes, the situation has only gotten more complicated, making it difficult to manage shipments and fulfill orders on time. I appreciate you sharing your experience; it really helps to know I'm not alone in dealing with these challenges.
This is so refreshing! As somebody who has started several businesses and projects that have failed and/or ended up making me miserable, I really enjoy somebody as successful as this showing us that side of business. It’s so true, maybe even 9 out of 10 projects we start won’t work, and it’s our willingness to stand back up and do the things that we love while letting go of what we may have originally perceived as success, because we have now learned, and realized that it’s not actually what we want. If you never tried, you would never know! 9/10 business fail but if you keep trying you will get to your 1 business that fulfills your why and energizes you! So proud of your journey Anna. I continue to be inspired from you, from early 2020 when I first discovered your content (this was truly life changing for me), all the way to now. Thank you.
Been with you since the beginning Anna. Started watching you shortly after my mom died and cried often because your content and direct tone was nearly identical to all the things my mom taught me. I felt like I had a piece of my mom watching you. You have blessed my life in innumerable ways. I LOVE watching you and get so excited when I see a new video. I have an entire new wardrobe, home and demeanor because of you. And it's mom approved. Thank you, Anna!
LOVED your honesty. I also LOVED a video of yours in which you mentioned you'd discovered the designer handbags et al weren't the real thing. And another one of yours in which you were out with your horses. Thanks for sharing yourself the way you truly are, regardless of the stage of life you are at, regardless of the version of you you are sharing from. Much love from Mexico. XOX
Thanks for being very transparent and I am sure your old and new viewers/subscribers found it very inspiring. I think a Part 2 would be greatly appreciated. And if you had the time and/interest, do a mini-series where you go into more details about some of the major "errors" - "Anna's Cautionary Tales." Inspiring 'boss babes" need to hear this type of information. Keep pushing out the good content. 👋👍
No regrets! We like you and love you exactly as you are. One of a kind 🥰 Thank you for all the beautiful things you are teaching us ❤ You are an asset !
Love your old content, which was very direct and informative, also how generously you shared it. People misjudge you, but we understand you educate ladies to elevate themselves from within. There is a group talk about elegance on FB, members were saying how they miss your old content, the current dressing-up tips content is good to know or to be reminded but it's more generic, would love to hear you talk more the elevation mindset, dating and social etiquette in higher society setting type of content. Anyway, really happy that you're evolved and happy with where you are right now. xx
Dear Anna, listening to this video felt like me talking to myself. Re - having employees , too many projects - it sucks the joy out of business, when my business thrives because my love for it shines through.
I started following you in 2019 with your very first course, and have continued to follow your content and courses since. I definitely noticed a change in your topics, how you were presenting yourself and how you were wording things and I think it’s natural. I wasn’t the same person today as 2019 (thankfully) and I don’t think anyone else is either. Like you said, I think evolution of who we are is natural. I’ve enjoyed all versions of you and your unique delivery of your content over the years. This causal conversation video was so nice also. It lends itself to the humanity we all have, and not just your TH-cam or educator personality. Thanks for always being relatable, honest and sharing your opinion and experiences with the world! ☺️
You have wonderful communication skills!! Very articulate, intelligent, stylish, kind, funny....you are the whole packge. And sorta like a sister, guiding us through elegance and glam world. ❤❤❤❤
I rember watching you on an interview on tv and felt sooo bad for you. Tgey made you look like some kind of madam !!! It was really shocking the attitude towards you Anna. I saw through that interview and am so happy you appreciate the simple but still good things in life as I do. All tge best Anna for 2025❤
Anna, the number of women that you've helped by being yourself, and authentically sharing your incredible journey of growth over the years *significantly* outweighs the number of people who don't matter, and who have negative perceptions about you. Your content has always been inspiring, and I will always be grateful for the ways in which it's helped me become my authentic self as well. Thank you so much 💜 sending warmth and love your way 💜
Hi Emma, I must give you an applause for your TH-cam initiative. What a wonderful idea to help animals! I wish to do the same one day in the future (in a different set up)
@@AnnaBeyOfficial Thank you so much Anna, it's been a journey getting here and I'm excited to be bringing a slightly different spin to my content in 2025 (written and video) that can make a positive contribution to animals in our food system. I am building my portfolio to move this forward every day (slowly but surely), and if at a future point you'd like to explore that in more depth, it would be a privilege to collaborate in some form, even just to discuss ideas and topics (like how we relate to both caring for and eating animals), in an open and kind way 💜
Hi Anna, am following you from the beginning. And the way you are now, how I see it, is the way you are at your best now. Pure. Real. But, back then, you were also at your very best then. Love to see your growth. Just keep on going. Also, yes, love to hear your mistakes or regrets. Am starting my very first business and I am excited and scared too. As I had 2 burn-outs+ breastcancer in the past. My weakness is to keep on going without looking back. And i sometimes forget to take some time or moments to reflect.
One of my favorite videos of yours! You've become so wise. I can see an internal happiness shining through in this video. You are definitely on the right path. 😊
I love watching you from the beginning. Your videos on rich and affluent topics were also relevant as long as they were understood in their context and not misinterpreted. We all evolve with the age. Love you Ana for staying authentic through out your TH-cam journey.
Anna, I have followed your content throughout your career, leveled up thanks to it, assimilated everything that spoke to my heart, clicked “next” on what did not, truly enjoyed your clothing line (thank you for your hard work; the quality is simply exceptional), and most importantly I am impressed with the way you’re sharing your own journey and changes in your life, making you even more real, and relatable. Thank you for allowing yourself to be You unapologetically. Do know you have a rather special and unique place in many ladies’ hearts. You are the unexpected teacher I never knew I needed. Thank you 😊.
I love how you became so down to earth the last year. All the fancy stuff is really not important. (and I think a lot of people don't care) Happy to see you this way.
Don't regret it, we love you for your 2018 videos when you were unfiltered and just shared the truth about dating in high society and elegance. It was so real and honest. There's nothing wrong with that
I followed you the entire journey. You are not a failure. You have taken us on an authentic journey of transformation. This is not a failure. This is how we are meant to live our lives. Continually improving and learning. The group you refer to that criticise do not understand this. Don't worry about them. Maybe they will catch up. Focus on your followers. You are fabulous and we certainly need 5 million more young women like you.
Hi Anna! I have been following you from the first year and I have delighted in watching your evolution and I have to say I am so proud of you! I think these kinds of videos show an incredible amount of grace. Life is about making mistakes and learning lessons. And in the end, we always arrive at the simplest version with the most peace and self love. I would love to see more of these kinds of videos. ❤
You're growing in such a beautiful way💖 As we mature, we come to recognize our mistakes, and the difference is that, as you're "famous," mistakes can feel more impactful. Glad you are happier now. I really appreciate your honesty 🤍🤍🤍
Anna - you are delightful in every version of yourself! I think your character arc is beautiful - and I will keep watching as you grow and blossom. You are beautiful inside and out - and please keep teaching inner elegance. What you put into the world is wonderful.
You were a huge part of my self-worth and self-esteem recovery. I'm now a better parent, building my own business and in a beautiful relationship because of therapy and self-help through watching your channel and others like yours. ❤
I love your 2018/2019 version much better since it was unique and authentic, unparallewed in terms of revealing yourself and your content. How many people have access to the society of affluent people and are willing to reveal that content coupled with their honest opinion? I always enjoyed watching you and liked you for yourself. You never seemed arrogant to me but mych sympathetic. I do not watch your videos any longer because now what you show puts you on a long line of many other youtubers with the same content. Previously you were one of a kind. Now you are one of many. I prefer ro believe that this shift is for views rather than for actual change in you.
I finally found someone I can completely agree with! The current content is much more of the same... The elegance taught on the internet is very boring and repetitive. I miss the content on hypergamy and although this subject angers many people, it is authentic and much more enriching (literally).
I absolutely adored your first videos! No one actually ever talked about those topics, it was so fresh and unfiltered, and you know how good it is when people got so offended. Actually, I remember one video that you even deleted after having so many criticism over it. I wish I could watch it again :(
Hey Anna! Yesterday, I watched your interview with Erika, and now this video, and I just wanted to say how deeply your thoughts on pivoting, shifting perspectives, and continually evolving into a better version of yourself resonated with me. It really touched my heart. I’ve been that person who always thought I knew best, that I had all the answers and made the right choices. Naturally, people always expected perfection from me. But whenever I changed my mind or evolved my views, I was reminded of my past words and actions. It felt as though no one ever considered that I could have changed, grown, or improved. This experience deeply affected my confidence and left me questioning myself more than ever. Now, when I want to express a new opinion or take a different direction, I second-guess myself, often keeping my thoughts to myself. Living with that inner conflict is challenging. Thank you for sharing your own journey with this. You’ve helped me realise that I’m not alone, and that even though we might face criticism or judgment for our past choices, we still have the right to change and follow our own path.❤️Everyone here, let’s remember not to judge others for who they were before, but acknowledge their growth and transformation.
A thank from NYC, as you’re coming out and admitting what didn’t work in front of the world, made me love you more as a fan and appreciate you millions times. It shows your humility and why I have to keep watching you. Well done Anna!
Anna, you are inspirational! Please do not listen to negative messages which may be coming from women who are jealous of you! I wish I was a younger woman who could have benefitted more from your candor and advice. However, I remember what you said about meeting a woman whose breath was fresh and minty when she leaned over to give an air kiss, and I now keep breath mints in my handbag and use them everyday.
I really like the way you express yourself in your videos showing how you deal with your “mistakes”. You’re so authentic and honest. You sound so genuine.
I’m really appreciating your more mature content. The high society stuff was fun for a time, but it was never the reason I followed you. Thanks for all your work 💕
Anna, it was too much even for me to watch all those projects. I quit your channel, it was overwhelming. So glad you are back to being yourself. Now I am back to your channel again enjoying ir. Keep being yourself! It's your best project ❤
Oh Anna dear, Your honest and directness is what got you 1 m subscribers. Never ever forget that. This is what we love about you and what resonates with us. I am older than you, married with 3 kids and been following you since day one. Wished I found your channel when I was 19 😂. But i still loved your content about style, elegance and traditional way of dating like not going 50-50. I thought it was a European thing until I found your content. I also still think a woman should never ever pull out a wallet on a date! Period. It’s natural to grow and evolve but please stay who you are. If the high society has cancelled you, forget them. We love you.
I love how you are standing firm in your transformation and not conforming to the boxes people try to put you into. I remember your old videos. I appreciate them, and this version of you. People change, that’s life, they need to grow up and catch up ❤
I found your channel in 2018, when I moved to Ecuador, and my, were you an inspiration! You lived in London at the time, and I kept wishing my youngest sister would follow you, and learn from your videos. I miss the old contents, and I have seen a couple of videos and thousands of comments criticizing you, and your work.... Your videos taught me how to be the polished version of the conservative christian that I am! 8 understood modesty, elegance , and class even in the context of my faith, and that was what made me follow you. But,it's been almost 7 years, and we both have evolved,and I STILL love the woman you're becoming. One day, I hope to be able to participate in one of your classes. All the best for 2025
Anna, I’ve followed you since the beginning. I’m old enough to be your mother, so I wasn’t interested in meeting rich men or attaining a place in high society. I just enjoyed that you were encouraging young women to think bigger and have higher goals. I also loved your emphasis on simple things like having good manners, knowing how to hold a conversation, encouraging women to take courses, etc. Now you’ve matured, you’ve lived a life of many experiences, you’ve grown and learned and become a much more well rounded person. IOW, you’ve been a success!!!! It’s perfectly ok to have regrets, everyone does, but you’ve learned from yours and changed course. That’s called wisdom!!!! I wish you the very best of luck in your business adventures and, more importantly, I wish you good health and much happiness. You’re a lovely, kind person. I’ll always be a follower. God Bless and many best wishes for you, your business, your marriage and life in general! Carpe Diem, Anna!!!
Girl, you did well. I'm proud of anybody who will dare to pursue a dream. You are well understood, at least I get what you share. This experience will get you ready for the next projects. Trust me, there are bigger and more severe failures in life. You'll came up stronger from this. Proud of you.
I found you whilst I was studying at university. And I love everything you have created (all spectrum of elegance and high society). You genuinely empower woman by guiding them make decisions and take action accordingly. ❤ Different people and different perspectives : how they view life super true. How can people change that? I see life from my bubble too but I’m working on finding the balance between agreeing and disagreeing. That’s it : being yourself is the only way you can let your business thrive. I appreciate your growth. ❤❤❤❤
I myself work as a project manager and I am PMI certified and I can tell you even for us professional project managers it gets overwhelming when we have to manage many people, budgets, and project plans and on top of that delivery on time and with a quality. You should be proud of yourself that you were able to do this even if things didn't go perfectly.
I have followed you since 2019 and watched all of your videos, you always were classy and elegant in every single one of them, thank you for posting such high-value content for us love♥️
I’ve been watching you since the very beginning and I loved every minute of it. I’m 69 years old so I’m old enough to be your mom, but I have seen you grow and change and it’s beautiful. I like your content. I think it’s refreshing and honest.❤
I love all of your content and I noticed the transformation from the level up videos to the more down to earth elegance content. Looking forward to the next phase of Ana.
Funny how everything about the clothing line and about Anna's business is such an obvious thing for anyone who's ever worked for a small business. Like when Anna announsed her clothing line my first thought was 'ah so Anna's been going through A LOT for a while now...'. Coz yeah that's what doing business is about, especially something new to you. It's about million mistakes at ones, about responsibility for employees, clients, products etc and you always have to keep in mind that the goal of any business is earning money. And the oportunity to create what YOU want an not what business needs comes the last, as a treat. So yeah complitely understanable why Anna made her recent decision in her business. Glad to hear Anna'll be focusing more on creating content!
I’ve always loved your content, both then and now, as I grow and evolve the same way. Remember, you’ve helped many women around the world become the best versions of themselves. I’m from Indonesia and live in Bali, and your content has been a huge inspiration for me, teaching me about elegance, the lifestyle I aspire to, my fashion taste, and so much more. So please keep doing what you are doing. Your true audience will always appreciate you for who you are, as we all continue on this journey of growth.
I have been watching your videos for sometime now and I love to see how you evolved. Your videos are always informative, looking forward to another video of the mistakes or regrets you have
I'd really like to hear the full story!!! I think I'd be a good "not to do" guide when starting a business. I did notice your change through out the years and I can see you're more relaxed on camera, like you have been even including some of your bloopers here and there lol So the channel doesn't feel too "formal". My honest opinion: I've been watching your videos for years now, and I take what I think suits me and leave the rest, I don't take anything personal, in fact, I do appreciate your videos cause they allow me to be a better version of myself and I can avoid some mistake in a social scenario, so you've save some embarrasements lol
I completely understand and it can be very difficult to please everyone, especially in business; that is why you should never seek to 'please everyone' at the cost of your integrity and standards of high quality. I would never support some big box store, but I would love to support your clothing line! I simply adore what I see from your selection, and growing up in a fabric store taught me about true quality in fabrics so I know the fabrics you use are great. I know that some people do not wish to help small business, but that is not everyone. I understand that it is difficult, but if you do choose to keep the clothing line going, or to take a break and come back another time, then I shall support it completely! If you decide to change what you are doing, then I wish you every bit of success and many blessings for the bright future! Thanks for this, I quite enjoyed it. A Merry Christmas to you and yours, and the happies of New Year's!
Thank you for watching! The entire Anna Bey clothing line is now on sale! AnnaBeyShop.com
Honestly I don't mean to be rude at all but your clothes are not affordable for the majority of people. Would you consider adding some more affordable items?
Prices still high for average middle class person. Some of these outfits are for slim people. Your advisors can review JM collection which has styles for women with curved body.
if all you do is think about what others will judge you for what you say, you will never say anything. stop apologizing, and own your ideas and point of view. don't make excuses. be your true self.
Anna, I truly appreciate that in those old videos you were calling things for what they were. There are some situations in my life when I remind myself your words verbatim and make an intentional effort to act in a way I typically wouldn't. This has strengthened my relationships and helped me to overcome the wrong ideas that were ingrained in me since childhood. If you worded things differently, that might have not happened.
Hi Anna, the way your dresses are priced is not a rarity and well justified for a dress that is well tailored and made of natural materials like yours are. I personally think it's better to buy one, two dresses than buying all the cheap polyester stuff which by the way often costs as much. It's better for the planet and for your health. Maybe you have not found the right market and distribution. Did you consider Zalando, Nordstrom, Shopbop, etc? There are even cotton blankets that costs 300 USD.
I miss those old videos! They were unfiltered and that was a strength not a hindrance!
I miss "My dear elegant ladies..."
Agree. Authenticity is a dying art.
@@brittanyg6796 totally agree
Old content was very autentic.i miss that
@@ingapaunksnyte2825 Yes. Loved her raw, honest humour.
Imagine this, you’re sipping coffee on a balcony overlooking a city skyline or lounging on a pristine beach, all while your investments are working their magic. With copytrading, you can finally pursue your passions, travel the world, and create unforgettable memories with your loved ones. It’s all thanks to the power of copytrading and the life you’ve always dreamed of!
Guess what? I’m celebrating a $500k stock portfolio today! It all started with a modest $70k, and I’ve been making smart investments that have paid off tremendously. Now, I have the time to enjoy my family and plan for the future. Copy trading has been a game-changer for me.
I’m curious, do you have a professional broker who helps you with your investments? If so, I’d love to learn more about how you work with them.
Can't share much here, I take guidance from ‘Matthew D Heck’ a renowned figure in his industry with over two decades of work experience. I'd suggest you research him further on the web.
Use his name to quickly conduct an internet search.
HE’S ALSO MOSTLY ON TELEGRAMS APPS WITH HIS NAME.
Your communication is perfect. You are not misunderstood. It's people who don't have the ability to comprehend.
Exactly! I think the same!
Exactly. I said the same thing in a different way.
she repeats the same ideia endlessly in this vid. if you sum up the points, will be one, two max.
Exactly!!!
You are a man and wouldn't understand @@johnconstable8512
I recently retired from the fashion industry in New York after 32 years. I worked for many large companies as well as people trying to do startups. No one realizes all the steps and money involved. Even if you tell them, they don't want to believe you. You got further in your firrst attempt then some experienced designers I know. Live and learn. I appreciate all that you do and have enjoyed watching you on your journey. I can't wait to see what the next few years brings you! All the best to you, Anna!
@@sherrydance144 hi Sherry, any advise on how to start to work in the fashion industry? I’m 37 yrs old and looking to change industries. Thanks !
Hi Melissa, it depends on where you live and what part of the industry you want to work in. Let me know these 2 things and I can give you some ideas.
@@sherrydance144 hi! I am from Rio - Brazil, and think about starting designing bikinis. It’s a competitive market, but I think about something simple, yet original. I love the beach vibes and having fun with daily activities (so, I love bikinis and buy a lot of it).
Hi Jen! I don't know anything about the Brazilian market. Do your research and plan everything before you start. There are a lot of elements, as Anna has explained, and it can be very expensive. Start small and build up!
Jen speak to other bathing suit companies and see how they do things. Speak to tailors, a clothing distributor. Take a college adult class on your topic.get books from library.
I rarely comment on videos, but this time I can't resist to comment.
I have been watching you for years now, and you have inspired me in so many ways. Not on how to get a rich boyfriend, or something, but to go through a levelling up journey for myself. To feel better in my own skin, to feel classy through my actions, to love the clothes I wear, and, most importantly, to stay true to myself, which sounds very basic but it's actually very hard to do.
People will always judge others for whatever reason, but when we go to sleep at night, the most important thing is to feel at peace with ourselves.
Thank you, Anna! You are a true gem in this fake world.
Anna, thank you for sharing your journey and adventures. You are amazing and your authenticity is of the highest.
I love your style and the direct communication.
Same here! Her content inspired me to get up and start taking better care of myself.
I'm so grateful that I'm able to be of service and help you ladies! That has been my mission!
Absolutely agreed. Thank you Anna.
❤🌠💎
I actually appreciate your honesty and directness. Keep it that way 🥰
Absolutely! That will never change! I promise!
@ Fabulous. I do understand your desire to improve your communication skills (not that you need that), but in a world full of “sensitive people” I am tired of tip toeing around a subject or being politically correct in the name of “politeness” when sometimes you just need to push a boundary (or a button) lol. For me personally when the intention is genuine and not malicious, maybe we need to be told certain things directly and unapologetically ❤️
Now that’s what I am talking about. 😎😉🙏🏽🥰
I found your channel way back when you were talking about elegance and style, and I loved that content, but I also love your content now. Your personality is unique and that's why I still watch your channel.
Thank you for being here
Anna you do not have to explain yourself!! You obviously went viral for your own reasons and you did NOT fail!!
Exactly. Anna, you are famous for all those videos because people liked them. You helped a lot of people through those videos. Forget the haters. Some people just need to be told how to behave, so thank you. Please do not apologize for them. As the late Queen said, never explain, never complain.
I think it's important to be self-reflective. Maybe it comes across as explaining myself or being apologetic. I was hoping you would see how I work with my own self-awareness and identify areas where I can improve. Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it!
@@AnnaBeyOfficial we DO see your self-awareness and self reflection and that is another element of elegance. The Duchess of Sussex could really learn a thing or two from you Anna!
Nope you’re Anna and we love you just as you are. I think most people with sense have fully grasped and supported your transformation. We evolve and change and some people don’t want to come with us and that’s absolutely fine. We all experience failure, it’s how we surmount it and move forward that matters. Your key strength is to be self-analytical and A LOT of woman can learn from that. Keep doing you ❤
Thank you for this beautiful comment. I've never connected strength with being self-analytical before, as we're often told not to be so hard on ourselves... It's of course about keeping a balance, but you're right... being self-analytical actually is a good thing! It helps us grow, as long as it doesn't destruct us on the way
Your content has helped me so much. Keep on doing that, you are amazing ❤
@@AnnaBeyOfficial Yes, please don't bland yourself out for fear of offending those who cannot take authenticity.
I definitely agree
@@AnnaBeyOfficialI missed you sooo much, it's been a while since you posted
The old videos were fantastic - informative, educational, and your thoughts and ideas were always spot on. Who wants to look cheap? Quality above quantity. Always.
I'm happy to be of help to you
I love you Anna because you are braver than many others because you are not afraid to speak about a topic that millions women want to hear. Thank you
Brilliant words, agree ❤100%
I will always speak the truth to you, that will never change
You honesty is what set you apart from everyone else. We needed that. Needed to be told how things really are in the world.
Honesty will always stay! Thank you for being here!
We all grow and learn. I regret a lot of things I did when I was younger. You look lovely Anna.
Thank you! ❤
Anna I speak for myself and my sisters; your contents over the years has really helped elevate our status and thinking. I thank you very much. Please don't stop!❤❤❤
I'm happy to be part of your elevator
I liked your old content. Honest and streight!!! I will save these for my daughter to watch when she grows up.
My mission is to keep the honest and straight vibes here
That was insightful, brave & vulnerable. It’s been a pleasure to watch your journey unfold. I’d love to see part two.
Thank you! Part two will definitely be coming soon!
You are a glam lady. I am 70 today and agree with everything you have shared over the years.Not everyone gets it, do not pay attention to the haters.I have been married for 50 years to a Hungarian refugee; Had a BF years ago who had super wealthy family but money can not buy love.Just be true to your own code.
I feel honoured that such an experienced lady choose to tune in to my channel. Thank you for your presence here!
Part 2 please. You are informative, inspiring and authentic.
I still remember your old videos, you were always very frank especially when talking about your hot takes. 😂 I like that you addressed the way you communicated before. Not many people have self-awareness! Thank you for creating this channel ❤
Thank you for seeing the message in the video that I tried to showcase. Self-reflection is important and it's not necessarily coming from a place of self-deprecation. I believe in self-growth but one needs to have a lot of self-awareness to see what can be improved.
Girrrrl! Don’t apologize for being blunt. Who cares what other people are saying! You are a unique voice speaking your truth (and the truth of many other silent women as well). I value and appreciate your videos and perspectives. You do NOT come off as arrogant. A lot of the way you say things is very well-worded, well-spoken, and you’ve spoken about topics others may be too shy to speak up about! I hope you don’t change a thing about the delivery of your message no matter how that message is evolving over time. It would be a shame to lose a voice like yours, especially as we enter the Chinese year of the snake: a creature of both elegance and wisdom, which you EMBODY. Let the haters hate, but know you’ve got people watching who appreciate your videos JUST AS THEY ARE. A book I read this past month is called The Courage To Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi, and it fits this very topic. I hope you check it out. Don’t lose your freedom of expression by conforming to the people who are criticizing you! I love your channel- ALL of it.
Your candidness on your old videos is what made me subscribe to your channel and I am loving your transformation on every video you produce. Keep it up.❤
Thank you for still being here as I go through my own transformation
I’m loving the evolution of Anna Bey. Simpler yet still elegant, finding peace through animals and nature. Peace cannot be found in the chaos and noise in our world. Loving that one can still be elegant, classy and live a more quiet yet purposeful life.
Your honesty is incredibly refreshing 🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@agnestaylor1467 That is exactly the feeling I'm getting now from Anna.
That's my number one mission here. Be honest and say how it is. No beating around any bush! :)
I like when someone is direct and tells you like it is so I like your approach to teaching.
You have been an important part of my own personal growth since your very first videos. Life is dynamic and so are we, we evolve and adapt. Nothing to feel embarrassed or ashamed about. ❤
Absolutely!
I'm a small business owner who makes merchandise and I'm happy you're mentioning the difference between us and mass production. I hope education inspires people to shop small+local more often! Congrats on your efforts and your incredible product, even if short-lived and headachey!
Thank you! And good luck with your entrepreneural journey!
I have been watching you for almost five years now and while I loved your first and more direct videos, I have also been enjoying this change and evolving into your more casual self with different topics. I feel like I have been evolving with you - five years is a lot of time, after all. Thank you for lighting up the way! Also, I have just bought the blue cotton dress you designed and I love it so much! The fabric is impeccable and soft and I feel amazing!
People are just sensitive, hurt, or bitter and want to gripe and complain about everything. To tell you the truth, I subscribed to your channel because you spoke about the various topics unfiltered and truthfully.
Thank you for being here! The unfiltered me will always be here, I just want to be able to learn how to communicate more clearly around sensitive topics that most people don't understand! I'm glad some individuals do understand however!
The worse as I see it is that it changed. You were direct and having a point of view and a courage to speak up, and that sincerely was the beauty of it. Now it’s all politically correct and toothless. I am still your subscriber because of great respect I gained during those years when you were maybe naive but direct and sincere. I miss that time a lot but respect your choice.
@@natalialitvinova1894 yes I agree so much with it. But again I still love all videos.. it’s very different though.
I don't think it's all politically correct these days, I think you're oversimplifying due to the nature that I don't speak about high-society much these days. The reason why I stopped that topic was because I got bored of it/was no longer as interested in the subject and wanted to expand in my topics. I do however understand if elegance as a subject feels more bland, but I do think we're still keeping it very honest in that department :)
Dear Anna, I have always admired your honesty and you don’t fluff around. It’s refreshing. I don’t have time to listen to people beating around the bush. I’ve watched all your vids. Some points you made in your fashion vids seemed superficial to me and I didnt care to know or stress about them ( they were just not important things in life for me to worry about). But eventhough I don’t sweat the small things and I don’t care about having designer stuff , I do like to look stylish, and I think you bring this to the table more than anything else…I don’t care about brands…but looking stylish and put together is something I luv ….and you remind me to be stylish and to look after myself and to care about my appearance on the level that I can for myself….and I’m happy with the result everytime and I enjoy making the effort….it always pays off…so thank you, thank you . I’m 55 and I do hope the younger girls out there learn this from you…you’re a lovely, classy influence and I wish you the very best always❤🇦🇺
Hi Anna! To answer your question about the part two of mistakes; YES PLEASE!
As for your content over the years I really have enjoyed your wit and direct approach. I do think your communication style in these late 2024 videos strikes as more elegant but in a down to earth way that is more warm and welcoming.
Overall I have gained something from all of your videos I have watched and have thoroughly enjoyed watching you try the different businesses avenues and have such fantastic transparency about your journey. Your growth from pre-2020 to now is absolutely incredible!
Personally, 2023 was a big year for self discovery, healing, growth, and trial. This was the year I found your content and started watching from your earliest videos making my way to current ones. I actually had launched a small clothing line the summer of 2023 and also had so, so many mistakes that year. 2024 has been a year of answered prayers for myself, my marriage, and so many other small details started to fall into place.
I hope this message articulates the deep and sincere gratitude for all of your time and energy into the videos, cheat sheets, and so much more.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, and may 2025 bring you many blessings!
What a gorgeous shade of purple ❤
I'm sorry to hear about your clothing line. I think what you created was really beautiful and I really appreciated the effort you put in to make sure that the quality and ethics were there. I understand why you'd want to close it down and focus on your core values, though. Excited for your content in the upcoming year!
There are plenty of of us who appreciate your candid and open, direct communication. Dont let mean youtube comments affect you and make you question yourself. Your clothing line is beautiful, and one can tell the quality in fabrics and design.
I love how honest you are.
Is not easy to manage people and business it takes a lot of time and patience.
I completely understand how you feel, Ana. I recently decided to close my online store as well because the stress was becoming overwhelming. With the ongoing Canada Post strikes, the situation has only gotten more complicated, making it difficult to manage shipments and fulfill orders on time. I appreciate you sharing your experience; it really helps to know I'm not alone in dealing with these challenges.
That is great advice......NEVER PULL OUT YR WALLET IN FRONT OF MEN.
This is so refreshing! As somebody who has started several businesses and projects that have failed and/or ended up making me miserable, I really enjoy somebody as successful as this showing us that side of business. It’s so true, maybe even 9 out of 10 projects we start won’t work, and it’s our willingness to stand back up and do the things that we love while letting go of what we may have originally perceived as success, because we have now learned, and realized that it’s not actually what we want. If you never tried, you would never know! 9/10 business fail but if you keep trying you will get to your 1 business that fulfills your why and energizes you! So proud of your journey Anna. I continue to be inspired from you, from early 2020 when I first discovered your content (this was truly life changing for me), all the way to now. Thank you.
definitely need a part 2! by the way, all of your videos (both old and new) are amazing!
Been with you since the beginning Anna. Started watching you shortly after my mom died and cried often because your content and direct tone was nearly identical to all the things my mom taught me. I felt like I had a piece of my mom watching you. You have blessed my life in innumerable ways. I LOVE watching you and get so excited when I see a new video. I have an entire new wardrobe, home and demeanor because of you. And it's mom approved. Thank you, Anna!
LOVED your honesty. I also LOVED a video of yours in which you mentioned you'd discovered the designer handbags et al weren't the real thing. And another one of yours in which you were out with your horses. Thanks for sharing yourself the way you truly are, regardless of the stage of life you are at, regardless of the version of you you are sharing from. Much love from Mexico. XOX
The super direct approach from your older videos is what made me subscribe, because you never felt fake. I so appreciate that
Thanks for being very transparent and I am sure your old and new viewers/subscribers found it very inspiring. I think a Part 2 would be greatly appreciated. And if you had the time and/interest, do a mini-series where you go into more details about some of the major "errors" - "Anna's Cautionary Tales." Inspiring 'boss babes" need to hear this type of information. Keep pushing out the good content. 👋👍
No regrets! We like you and love you exactly as you are. One of a kind 🥰 Thank you for all the beautiful things you are teaching us ❤ You are an asset !
Love you, Anna. I must say that I do miss when you were most spicy and had the "get a rich guy" content. I thought it was a very fun topic!
Love your old content, which was very direct and informative, also how generously you shared it. People misjudge you, but we understand you educate ladies to elevate themselves from within. There is a group talk about elegance on FB, members were saying how they miss your old content, the current dressing-up tips content is good to know or to be reminded but it's more generic, would love to hear you talk more the elevation mindset, dating and social etiquette in higher society setting type of content.
Anyway, really happy that you're evolved and happy with where you are right now. xx
Dear Anna, listening to this video felt like me talking to myself. Re - having employees , too many projects - it sucks the joy out of business, when my business thrives because my love for it shines through.
I started following you in 2019 with your very first course, and have continued to follow your content and courses since. I definitely noticed a change in your topics, how you were presenting yourself and how you were wording things and I think it’s natural. I wasn’t the same person today as 2019 (thankfully) and I don’t think anyone else is either. Like you said, I think evolution of who we are is natural. I’ve enjoyed all versions of you and your unique delivery of your content over the years.
This causal conversation video was so nice also. It lends itself to the humanity we all have, and not just your TH-cam or educator personality. Thanks for always being relatable, honest and sharing your opinion and experiences with the world! ☺️
You have wonderful communication skills!! Very articulate, intelligent, stylish, kind, funny....you are the whole packge. And sorta like a sister, guiding us through elegance and glam world. ❤❤❤❤
I rember watching you on an interview on tv and felt sooo bad for you. Tgey made you look like some kind of madam !!! It was really shocking the attitude towards you Anna. I saw through that interview and am so happy you appreciate the simple but still good things in life as I do. All tge best Anna for 2025❤
Glad you are taking it easier and simplifying your work life. It’s time for you to enjoy life and breathe. Happy Holidays to you and your husband! 🎉
Anna, the number of women that you've helped by being yourself, and authentically sharing your incredible journey of growth over the years *significantly* outweighs the number of people who don't matter, and who have negative perceptions about you.
Your content has always been inspiring, and I will always be grateful for the ways in which it's helped me become my authentic self as well.
Thank you so much 💜 sending warmth and love your way 💜
Hi Emma, I must give you an applause for your TH-cam initiative. What a wonderful idea to help animals! I wish to do the same one day in the future (in a different set up)
@@AnnaBeyOfficial Thank you so much Anna, it's been a journey getting here and I'm excited to be bringing a slightly different spin to my content in 2025 (written and video) that can make a positive contribution to animals in our food system.
I am building my portfolio to move this forward every day (slowly but surely), and if at a future point you'd like to explore that in more depth, it would be a privilege to collaborate in some form, even just to discuss ideas and topics (like how we relate to both caring for and eating animals), in an open and kind way 💜
Anna you have nothing to regret you, grew just like every other human.
Your school changed lives .
I'm so glad you are on this path, taking care of yourself--looking forward to your new videos! 🥰 Lisa
Thank you so much Lisa! 🙏❤️
What a wonderful, candid video. Thank you for sharing your journey with us
Hi Anna, am following you from the beginning. And the way you are now, how I see it, is the way you are at your best now. Pure. Real. But, back then, you were also at your very best then. Love to see your growth. Just keep on going. Also, yes, love to hear your mistakes or regrets. Am starting my very first business and I am excited and scared too. As I had 2 burn-outs+ breastcancer in the past. My weakness is to keep on going without looking back. And i sometimes forget to take some time or moments to reflect.
One of my favorite videos of yours! You've become so wise. I can see an internal happiness shining through in this video. You are definitely on the right path. 😊
Anna, I love your honesty. It's very brave to be so open and honest and I hope 2025 will be a very happy and profitable year for you and your husband!
I love watching you from the beginning. Your videos on rich and affluent topics were also relevant as long as they were understood in their context and not misinterpreted. We all evolve with the age. Love you Ana for staying authentic through out your TH-cam journey.
Part 2 please. Honest and authentic. Wishing everything positive for you and everyone you influence.
Anna, I have followed your content throughout your career, leveled up thanks to it, assimilated everything that spoke to my heart, clicked “next” on what did not, truly enjoyed your clothing line (thank you for your hard work; the quality is simply exceptional), and most importantly I am impressed with the way you’re sharing your own journey and changes in your life, making you even more real, and relatable. Thank you for allowing yourself to be You unapologetically. Do know you have a rather special and unique place in many ladies’ hearts. You are the unexpected teacher I never knew I needed. Thank you 😊.
yeaaaah. I miss those old videos. And you are back with the minimalist microphone. I superlove it.
I love how you became so down to earth the last year. All the fancy stuff is really not important. (and I think a lot of people don't care) Happy to see you this way.
Don't regret it, we love you for your 2018 videos when you were unfiltered and just shared the truth about dating in high society and elegance. It was so real and honest. There's nothing wrong with that
I followed you the entire journey. You are not a failure. You have taken us on an authentic journey of transformation. This is not a failure. This is how we are meant to live our lives. Continually improving and learning. The group you refer to that criticise do not understand this. Don't worry about them. Maybe they will catch up. Focus on your followers. You are fabulous and we certainly need 5 million more young women like you.
Du är fantastisk Anna❤ Saknar dina videos om elegance och hur man staylar sina kläder. All gott till dig!
Hi Anna! I have been following you from the first year and I have delighted in watching your evolution and I have to say I am so proud of you! I think these kinds of videos show an incredible amount of grace. Life is about making mistakes and learning lessons. And in the end, we always arrive at the simplest version with the most peace and self love. I would love to see more of these kinds of videos. ❤
You're growing in such a beautiful way💖
As we mature, we come to recognize our mistakes, and the difference is that, as you're "famous," mistakes can feel more impactful. Glad you are happier now. I really appreciate your honesty 🤍🤍🤍
Anna - you are delightful in every version of yourself! I think your character arc is beautiful - and I will keep watching as you grow and blossom. You are beautiful inside and out - and please keep teaching inner elegance. What you put into the world is wonderful.
You were a huge part of my self-worth and self-esteem recovery. I'm now a better parent, building my own business and in a beautiful relationship because of therapy and self-help through watching your channel and others like yours. ❤
I love your 2018/2019 version much better since it was unique and authentic, unparallewed in terms of revealing yourself and your content. How many people have access to the society of affluent people and are willing to reveal that content coupled with their honest opinion? I always enjoyed watching you and liked you for yourself. You never seemed arrogant to me but mych sympathetic. I do not watch your videos any longer because now what you show puts you on a long line of many other youtubers with the same content. Previously you were one of a kind. Now you are one of many. I prefer ro believe that this shift is for views rather than for actual change in you.
I finally found someone I can completely agree with!
The current content is much more of the same... The elegance taught on the internet is very boring and repetitive. I miss the content on hypergamy and although this subject angers many people, it is authentic and much more enriching (literally).
I absolutely adored your first videos! No one actually ever talked about those topics, it was so fresh and unfiltered, and you know how good it is when people got so offended. Actually, I remember one video that you even deleted after having so many criticism over it. I wish I could watch it again :(
Hey Anna! Yesterday, I watched your interview with Erika, and now this video, and I just wanted to say how deeply your thoughts on pivoting, shifting perspectives, and continually evolving into a better version of yourself resonated with me. It really touched my heart.
I’ve been that person who always thought I knew best, that I had all the answers and made the right choices. Naturally, people always expected perfection from me. But whenever I changed my mind or evolved my views, I was reminded of my past words and actions. It felt as though no one ever considered that I could have changed, grown, or improved. This experience deeply affected my confidence and left me questioning myself more than ever.
Now, when I want to express a new opinion or take a different direction, I second-guess myself, often keeping my thoughts to myself. Living with that inner conflict is challenging. Thank you for sharing your own journey with this. You’ve helped me realise that I’m not alone, and that even though we might face criticism or judgment for our past choices, we still have the right to change and follow our own path.❤️Everyone here, let’s remember not to judge others for who they were before, but acknowledge their growth and transformation.
A thank from NYC, as you’re coming out and admitting what didn’t work in front of the world, made me love you more as a fan and appreciate you millions times. It shows your humility and why I have to keep watching you.
Well done Anna!
Anna, you are inspirational! Please do not listen to negative messages which may be coming from women who are jealous of you! I wish I was a younger woman who could have benefitted more from your candor and advice. However, I remember what you said about meeting a woman whose breath was fresh and minty when she leaned over to give an air kiss, and I now keep breath mints in my handbag and use them everyday.
I really like the way you express yourself in your videos showing how you deal with your “mistakes”. You’re so authentic and honest. You sound so genuine.
You may feel you could have said it better, but most of it was the truth. I think you have evolved beautifully 🌷
I’m really appreciating your more mature content. The high society stuff was fun for a time, but it was never the reason I followed you. Thanks for all your work 💕
Anna, it was too much even for me to watch all those projects. I quit your channel, it was overwhelming. So glad you are back to being yourself. Now I am back to your channel again enjoying ir. Keep being yourself! It's your best project ❤
Oh Anna dear, Your honest and directness is what got you 1 m subscribers. Never ever forget that. This is what we love about you and what resonates with us. I am older than you, married with 3 kids and been following you since day one. Wished I found your channel when I was 19 😂. But i still loved your content about style, elegance and traditional way of dating like not going 50-50. I thought it was a European thing until I found your content. I also still think a woman should never ever pull out a wallet on a date! Period. It’s natural to grow and evolve but please stay who you are. If the high society has cancelled you, forget them. We love you.
I’ve loved all your phases and evolution. Thank you for your genuine care and transparency. Wish you much success! 💕✨
I love how you are standing firm in your transformation and not conforming to the boxes people try to put you into. I remember your old videos. I appreciate them, and this version of you. People change, that’s life, they need to grow up and catch up ❤
I found your channel in 2018, when I moved to Ecuador, and my, were you an inspiration! You lived in London at the time, and I kept wishing my youngest sister would follow you, and learn from your videos. I miss the old contents, and I have seen a couple of videos and thousands of comments criticizing you, and your work.... Your videos taught me how to be the polished version of the conservative christian that I am! 8 understood modesty, elegance , and class even in the context of my faith, and that was what made me follow you. But,it's been almost 7 years, and we both have evolved,and I STILL love the woman you're becoming. One day, I hope to be able to participate in one of your classes. All the best for 2025
Complimenti per il tuo italiano! :-)
Anna, I’ve followed you since the beginning. I’m old enough to be your mother, so I wasn’t interested in meeting rich men or attaining a place in high society. I just enjoyed that you were encouraging young women to think bigger and have higher goals. I also loved your emphasis on simple things like having good manners, knowing how to hold a conversation, encouraging women to take courses, etc.
Now you’ve matured, you’ve lived a life of many experiences, you’ve grown and learned and become a much more well rounded person. IOW, you’ve been a success!!!!
It’s perfectly ok to have regrets, everyone does, but you’ve learned from yours and changed course. That’s called wisdom!!!!
I wish you the very best of luck in your business adventures and, more importantly, I wish you good health and much happiness. You’re a lovely, kind person. I’ll always be a follower.
God Bless and many best wishes for you, your business, your marriage and life in general!
Carpe Diem, Anna!!!
Girl, you did well. I'm proud of anybody who will dare to pursue a dream. You are well understood, at least I get what you share. This experience will get you ready for the next projects. Trust me, there are bigger and more severe failures in life. You'll came up stronger from this. Proud of you.
I found you whilst I was studying at university.
And I love everything you have created (all spectrum of elegance and high society).
You genuinely empower woman by guiding them make decisions and take action accordingly. ❤
Different people and different perspectives : how they view life super true.
How can people change that?
I see life from my bubble too but I’m working on finding the balance between agreeing and disagreeing.
That’s it : being yourself is the only way you can let your business thrive.
I appreciate your growth.
❤❤❤❤
I myself work as a project manager and I am PMI certified and I can tell you even for us professional project managers it gets overwhelming when we have to manage many people, budgets, and project plans and on top of that delivery on time and with a quality. You should be proud of yourself that you were able to do this even if things didn't go perfectly.
I have followed you since 2019 and watched all of your videos, you always were classy and elegant in every single one of them, thank you for posting such high-value content for us love♥️
I’ve been watching you since the very beginning and I loved every minute of it. I’m 69 years old so I’m old enough to be your mom, but I have seen you grow and change and it’s beautiful. I like your content. I think it’s refreshing and honest.❤
I love all of your content and I noticed the transformation from the level up videos to the more down to earth elegance content. Looking forward to the next phase of Ana.
Funny how everything about the clothing line and about Anna's business is such an obvious thing for anyone who's ever worked for a small business. Like when Anna announsed her clothing line my first thought was 'ah so Anna's been going through A LOT for a while now...'. Coz yeah that's what doing business is about, especially something new to you. It's about million mistakes at ones, about responsibility for employees, clients, products etc and you always have to keep in mind that the goal of any business is earning money. And the oportunity to create what YOU want an not what business needs comes the last, as a treat. So yeah complitely understanable why Anna made her recent decision in her business. Glad to hear Anna'll be focusing more on creating content!
I’ve always loved your content, both then and now, as I grow and evolve the same way. Remember, you’ve helped many women around the world become the best versions of themselves. I’m from Indonesia and live in Bali, and your content has been a huge inspiration for me, teaching me about elegance, the lifestyle I aspire to, my fashion taste, and so much more. So please keep doing what you are doing. Your true audience will always appreciate you for who you are, as we all continue on this journey of growth.
You were and you are wonderful and honest. Thank you!
I have been watching your videos for sometime now and I love to see how you evolved. Your videos are always informative, looking forward to another video of the mistakes or regrets you have
I'd really like to hear the full story!!! I think I'd be a good "not to do" guide when starting a business. I did notice your change through out the years and I can see you're more relaxed on camera, like you have been even including some of your bloopers here and there lol So the channel doesn't feel too "formal". My honest opinion: I've been watching your videos for years now, and I take what I think suits me and leave the rest, I don't take anything personal, in fact, I do appreciate your videos cause they allow me to be a better version of myself and I can avoid some mistake in a social scenario, so you've save some embarrasements lol
I completely understand and it can be very difficult to please everyone, especially in business; that is why you should never seek to 'please everyone' at the cost of your integrity and standards of high quality. I would never support some big box store, but I would love to support your clothing line! I simply adore what I see from your selection, and growing up in a fabric store taught me about true quality in fabrics so I know the fabrics you use are great. I know that some people do not wish to help small business, but that is not everyone. I understand that it is difficult, but if you do choose to keep the clothing line going, or to take a break and come back another time, then I shall support it completely! If you decide to change what you are doing, then I wish you every bit of success and many blessings for the bright future! Thanks for this, I quite enjoyed it. A Merry Christmas to you and yours, and the happies of New Year's!
Good luck Anna! You are great!❤
those old videos were sooooo good i’ve always loved them! direct communication and being able to speak the truth was what made you so special ❤️❤️
It takes a genuine and humble spirit to admit and share your vulnerabilities. You go Anna!❤
