I buy cropped jeans and they fit perfectly and the length is flattering.

@elanakinda, did you ever find a ankle bootie that was a better fit around the ankle?? I’m currently looking for one and finding it difficult to locate one for narrow legs 😢

No u r not extra short. I am 4 10'. There u go🤭

I agree, the Steve Madden catcher platform is so cushioney and comfy! I bought those ones. Thanks for this video!

One of your best videos, Elena. Well done, and thank you for sharing your journey with us.

You’ve reached maximum cuteness! I hope everything goes well with the delivery ❤

I use the same razors as my husband 😊 we get the ones that you just replace the head of the razor.

Congratulations so happy for you. You look beautiful

I like your style n videos I am watching from India

I’m 5” and never thought high rise were for me but they look so much better especially having more of an hourglass shape. Other cuts sit in an unflattering place. Wearing appropriately fitted clothing for your specific body type will increase your confidence and comfort in your skin. 👌🏻

Sorry but for jeans of all size women, there's no one better than Gloria Vanderbilt.

Love love love your videos! Can you do an event style, like wedding guest/or church outfits? Need those!🤗🩷

Elena your absolutely beautiful An gorgeous xxx

I wish mine were smaller, if I have money I will get them reduced😅

Sandal and heels haul plz Love your expensive taste in the shoes and fashion 👣🫶🏾🫶🏾🔥🔥👣🫶🏾

Very informative Elana thank you for the research .

Do you think the silk navy dress with the belt would fit 34DD? I’m on the fence of buying but want to make sure I get the right size

Great advice. I only follow shorter women and or women with a large bust. I'm 60 and my style changes every 10 years. I've been all American, ingenue, classic, minimalist, trendy, sporty and now I'm very feminine. I've found you change over time. My staples are always classic though

Sizing is so inconsistent these days that I only use it as a starting point. I don’t care what size is on the label, I only care about how the garment looks and feels on me. I agree, sizing up one or more sizes looks so much better than even one size too tight, which always makes us look fatter. When buying anything with Spandex it, I always start with one size higher than the size chart recommends for my measurements. Items made with Spandex, or a lot of nylon for stretch, squeeze the body, it’s neither flattering nor comfortable, and it causes horizontal strain lines across the body - these are always a sign that the item is too small. Too big and baggy isn’t flattering, either. I like a body-skimming fit in the torso for most clothes, these show one’s shape without squeezing it like a sausage. Fit is so important.🙂

I so agree with all your points! I love classic style anyway, but it has the added advantage of being nearly timeless. Simple, classic, high-quality items will give tons of wear and always look good. I buy generally more tailored, restrained, styles and add the femininity I want with their soft, luxurious fabrics, like silk and cashmere, and light, feminine colors, rather than girlish details like ruffles, puffed sleeves and tiers (I do have a few pieces with one of of these details, they can be hard to avoid when they’re trendy, but they date quickly and aren’t that sophisticated). I just bought a silk dress I love, for example, from Goelia - I don’t like the skirt tier, but I overlooked it because the dress is otherwise perfect for me. We’re seeing a lot less of these Prairie Dress details offered now, that was a pandemic loungewear rebound trend,but Asian brands are generally at least five years behind in their styling).

To me, fabric/material composition is the most important consideration when wardrobe shopping, I can only wear natural, non-plastic ones. I just don’t bother looking at clothes and accessories in synthetics, and even most blends, depending on the brand. Fast-fashion ones use a lot higher percentages of synthetics in their blends than premium ones do, if they use any at all Synthetics are never necessary, “improving the fabric” or desirable, regardless of what brands say, the only reason they use them is to reduce their costs. I hate Spandex, so I usually won’t buy anything that contains more than 1%. There’s nothing that Spandex or nylon can do that natural-fiber knits can’t do. I do still have a few otherwise-liked items with synthetics in them, but I will phase them out gradually (mostly poly pleated skirts, under which I wear a silk slip or petticoat). I have the double-trouble of skin allergies and overheating, I need maximum breathability, so I know synthetic items just won’t get worn if I have any better, more comfortable, choices in my wardrobe. Plus, natural-fiber items just look so much better and higher quality, because they are! I know my too-big natural-fiber items, which I take great care of, have that intrinsic, material value that means when I need to pass them on, they will be worn by others. (Have lost 50 lbs. and seem to be still losing weight, so the majority of my wardrobe had to go.). A used polyester top, for example, is not wanted by anyone and will end up in a landfill.

No, most brands do not offer free shipping! Sometimes if you spend a minimum, they will, but good quality items are more expensive and I can’t always buy multiple items at one time. I often won’t shop at sites that will not offer fs. I feel that if I take my time and spend my money to shop their site, they should offer free shipping and free returns. Jmo.

And, get things tailored if you can. Especially those quality work horse pieces. I’m blessed because my father has been a tailor for 60 plus years!

Rompers and jumpsuits are a nightmare for me. I appreciate your suggestions for those

Totally with you on this Elana 100% accurate 👍

I like barrel jeans, but I do think it really depends on body type. They never look,as dramatically wide on me and I’m petite-ish. On me they just look like a slightly tapered wide leg.

I appreciate the links!

For coats the sleeves are often too long. When you show the Goelia brown coat in the future can you please show what it looks like when the sleeves are not scrunched up?

What about bras with a lining so that your nipples don't show through? If there is no lining, then you have that problem.

I love your videos! ❤ and you’re so right with that “trends get weirder and weirder” 🥲

thank you Elana. You have helped me sooo much. Enjoy that new bundle !!!!!

Thank you for all the great tips Elana.

Thanks for this!

Same issue with hair part! 😝😅

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

Gillette mens razors from costco for the win. Sometimes they have a rebate offer from P&G/costco.

Would love to see cooking videos!!

The cuffed jeans are a repeat of the early 2000’s 😂 I was there. Totally lived it and did it!

Loved your video and was very descriptive. I am blind and it really helps when there is audio description of apparel and products. You’re awesome thank you.

OMG I thought it was just me and women’s razors! I also prefer men’s razors

I have that same problem with that piece of hair. I tried to cut it and it made it worse. Any recommendations?

Those flip flops an your beautiful feet an solessssss 👣🔥🔥👣👣🔥🔥👣👣👣🔥🔥👣👣🔥🔥🫶🏾👣🔥

I hate barrel jeans! And fur on coats and shoes. Agree on the sheer clothing also. Not classy to overexpose. And those follower boots are hideous! Heck I agree on all points!

Good stuff. I see you are wearing your Sezane button down. Looks great over the leggings. Love that shirt. Wishing you a healthy birth and much joy.

Your my favorite youtuber when it comes to style suggestions. I'm so upset youtube hasn't been sending me notifications when you post for months. So cute you are preggy ❤❤❤❤❤

Absolutely agree with you about the men’s razors! I think I have the same one you do and I love it. It has been a game changer! I will never buy those girlie ones again.

The variety of textures in the *yutulu* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

I love the cute shoes but my back has gotten worse so tennis shoes are all I can wear. I need support. It sucks but what can you do. At least I can wear my dresses with white tennis shoes and be in style. Lol, By the way, you look so cute.
