Ana, you are a very beautiful woman with a great personality and spirit)))) All the very best to Brian and you!!!

I love linen and cotton for summer! I was about to say "don't worry, my skin is even paler than yours" but then I realised this is just feeding into toxic beauty stereotypes/ standards. I suffer from insecurity about my skin too, and in the past wore long sleeves and pants in the summer because I was too ashamed of not being tan and have also been teased (even lightheartedly still had an affect on me) for being too pale. So long story short, you're not alone in your insecurities and your courage is inspirational 💛

Ana, your crocheted clutch is lovely. The design you created from your "leftover" yarn looks like pretty little flowers. You definitely could sell those! God's blessings to your and your loved ones

I love your new additions! More importantly, I love you, my dear. Still sane, in spite of all the “stuff” you have been through. I admire and appreciate your wisdom and commitment to the things in life that matter.

Beautiful phrase Ana: "We use clothes to adjust to the reality around." It's so true. The way we look outside is often the way we feel. I had never seen you so happy. Stay well! =)

Glad you' re showing your legs and not suffering from heat. I lived almost the same experience

I enjoyed your comment where you said in essence, that we should not confine ourselves to what compliments our looks but what makes us happy. I needed that.

Growing up in Poland, I was very self-conscious of my pale skin, particularly legs and would also never show them in the summer. All because the beauty standard was/is taned skin and people would look or make comments about "you need to get some sun" and stuff like that. After moving to Canada though, I realized very quickly that nobody here cares. It was very liberating.

Dear Ana. Thank you for sharing this video. I don't like the heat and humudity and prefer cooler weather. Have to say that the shorts look good on you, no need to feel insecure 😊. As you say: nobody cares about it, you are the only one who pays attention and it's only important how you feel. Best wishes 👋

My husband and I love linen. I love loose fitting clothing. I have fibromyalgia and am autistic so a slightly rough seam or tight sleeve physically hurts if I wear it for more than a few minutes. Your new wardrobe pieces are beautiful. I crochet (and knit) for comfort, too, and most of the things I make are passed on to charity. Blessed Be

Dear Anna, I can't tell you how much I appreciate and love your content and can't thank you enough for the simple yet intense things I got to learn from you. you are truly amazing. also I loved your previous wardrobe and the current updated wardrobe is lovely too. It feels so fresh and thoughtfully curated. you never cared about the trends and managed to remember why you bought a piece. I especially liked your boho shirt. I hope you let yourself get that dress you long for soon.

That purple clutch that you made is beautiful and the shorts look great on you. Your legs are not so pale you should see mine. I don't wear shorts in public. 😊

I have a friend who is so pale that she jokes her legs aren't white, they're blue. She wears shorts in summer all the time though, no worries. I love your crocheted purse Ana.

Reframe 'failed' with I learned what didn't work. We are not born with all the knowledge we need. That's the beauty of making mistakes.

I absolutely love your updated wardrobe! I loved how you dressed since your early videos. It's feels so original to me and seems very comfortable. Your knitted collars are so pretty, I'm glad you kept a few of them. And I think your legs are beautiful are nothing to be self-conscious about! Best wishes for the weekend to the two of you 💐

Dear Ana, thank you for sharing your clothes items. I agree with you about the leggings. I’m 74 & live with my husband for the past 21 years on our 47’ sailboat in the San Francisco area. I have several pair of leggings & they are the most comfortable, I even sleep in them on chilly nights. Always look forward to your videos. 🍃🌷🍃

My dear, this video has made me aware that my own insecurities have restricted me unnecessarily. Thanks for leading to these insights. Take care, dear one.

I don't know how you came about yesterday as a suggestion, but you really touched me as being a real person, thank-you

Refreshing video as usual! I must admit that as I get older, I find myself choosing just the clothes that I want to wear...mixing different styles, fabrics and colors that I used to be so particular about....allowing myself the freedom to invent what I feel most comfortable in is very uplifting. Having reinforced this idea is exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you again, Ana!

I’m very pale and I wear shorts all summer long. They are so comfortable!

I love how you celebrate here what you needed to be comfortable and feel like your authentic self. It is so hot where I live right now and I have had to buy some new items - ironically what has me feeling more comfortable is more sporty in style and I’ve had to overcome some weird feelings about letting go of items that don’t feel right to me anymore. Thanks for the encouragement to listen to what we need ❤️

You could survive Texas summer! It was 108 F here today. 🥵🔥

ANA. You are amazing. And I loved all the outfits on you...all of them. Well except for the hat! Make yourself a hat the color of your eyes. Blessings from one empath to another.

I am currently wearing wide full length linen trousers with a really comfy waistband and a long sleeve linen shirt, everything is loose and baggy! I recently saw a fashion guru saying that you should never wear loose top and bottom at the same time but it is hot here and I won’t get sunburned if I’m covered in loose clothes. I hate wearing “plastic” clothes the just feel sweaty, as though I was wearing a bin bag.

As I have grown older, I have realized that rayon and other man-made materials are uncomfortable. Unfortunately, items with cute prints are often made of things I cannot wear. I am in total agreement with you on natural, sustainable fabrics like cotton, linen, wool, and bamboo. I never realized the versatility of wool until I bought my first wool t-shirt, and I found I could wear it without roasting!

It's astonishing I really like the same like you and I also dislike the unnatural clothes. ❤️

Albania looks so beautiful. You must be getting lots of happy chemicals from the sun. I wish i could wear those outfits but its so cold here in Australia! So jealous, haha. I'm so glad you've reunited with Brian. Thank you as always for your lovely content, Ana xxx

Ana, I love your minimalistic style. Please do an autumn look

Love your new clothing pieces ! I prefer things to fit loosely rather than to fitted. I am about comfort. The more you wear your shorts the more color for your legs ! I like lite dresses for warmer weather too. Nice to see you smile again, you look happy 😊 Take care and best wishes you both 🥰

I love line clothes too 😊

I consider myself a meticulous planner and list-maker, but some things you cannot plan, or prepare yourself for fully. That’s become quite apparent to me with all that’s happened in the world, the last few years especially. I’m a lot more realistic now.

Your shorts look very cute on you. Half the world is pale just enjoy them and be cool. Also the new linen dress is wonderful.

I love the way you wear scarves in your hair. I’d love to but they always pop off my head! Would love a tutorial! also agree about natural fibres. I Recently understood that about myself too, which was inspired by your earlier video and feel far happier in clothes made of cotton and linen.

Oh, Ana, I adore your style! I only wear black dresses of medium length. I love medium and oversized fit. Lots of love from Croatia!

I love looser clothes. I enjoyed seeing your choices.

I can’t agree more, dear Ana: Wear what you love! Spaciba for this week’s great video. Poka, poka! 🤗

Your crochet works are so lovely!

I am glad you're able to add a few more items to your wardrobe, to keep yourself comfortable. You're so positive, it's a joy to watch your videos. Keep happy x

Such a lovely video. I also love linen. Your crochet collars and the clutch bag are beautiful.

I loved it 😍❤️🤗

I love your wardrobe selections♥️

Love your style and outlook on life.🥰

Your crochet designs are beautiful, you are very talented

I love all your new wardrobe finds! You are very talented! The crocheted bag is so lovely! Have a great weekend!

Ana, you look so adorable in your shorts outfit 😍😍😍

Wonderful Ana!!!

I'm loving your summer style! That black dress is so cute, I'd totally wear it ❤️ I have never worn anything made of linen, it's not so common in Brazil (not anymore, at least - my grandma used to say grandfather only wore linen suits). It looks so comfy and has a beautiful texture! Natural fibers are my favorite, too.

You are so creative!!! i love your videos!!!

I saw a picture of Anna Pavlova with Charlie Chaplin today and immediately thought of you !! Nice resemblance 🤗💐

Hey Ana and Brian! So happy to see your latest communique. Ana, your legs are lovely - and the shadows under your eyes have completely gone now. As I said before, you strongly resemble a revered film star and an equally revered musician, all three of you classic natural beauties with profound core energies. And in the end, that's what matters most, isn't it? Who we are deep inside. When that is allowed to manifest in how you care for and carry your external self, nothing else matters. And what you are, through-in and throughout, dear Ana, is an honest, peace-loving, mindful, love and light-filled woman in a happy present marriage with her like-minded life partner, which makes her glow at her brightest. Choosing and re-evaluating which foods, fibers and clothing pieces work best for you, what to keep and release, and where to travel or rest at any moment should complement all the above. Be comfortable with yourself. Some things I do with triple-digit heat: sleep during the day (like the animals), dig a cool nest in the soil at the base of a shady tree on a mountaintop (more animal wisdom), nap in a tub of cool water, visualize and affirm my atoms, cells and molecules as peppermint ice cubes, add liquid chlorophyll peppermint concentrate to my bottle/glass of water, add peppermint oil/leaves/liquid castile soap to my bath water, let the peppermint castile soap sit on my skin and hair like a mask for a few minutes before rinsing to produce a prolonged cooling effect. That helps when you have to be awake and working during the day, and also when nights are hot. In addition, my friends from the Middle East enjoy Rooh Afza (a sweet rose-based concentrate, mixed into a beverage) as a counterpoint to the desert heat. So if there's an Arabic-culture store in your area, you can probably find it there and ask what to mix it with. Another refreshing beverage is lassi, made with yogurt (which can be made with plant milks) and fruit. Tabbouleh is a refreshing Mediterranean salad made with mint. And always carry peppermint candies in your pocket/purse. You can pop them into your water, your mouth, your bath, and they're usually easy to access and affordable. Find a swing to sit and sway in with Brian or take turns pushing each other in a swing at a park. Natural, cool fun. Turn out the lights inside when the sun is up and bright. The shade in the room will help your mind and body think it's cooler inside. That you donated released items to a resale shop that benefits local charities is no surprise. That's who you are, which is why I subscribe to your channel and enjoy your videos. I would like the machine-less pattern for the crochet clutch. While I do have a machine gifted by my mother and sister when I moved to the countryside, I also enjoy hand sewing. I used to make hand-sewn embellished cross-stitch monogrammed accent pillows as personal gifts, and would like to do something like that again as a business. And I love your Siberian snowflake pattern, color palette and lining. It made my mind start churning with ideas. Bright blessings, all. Bukka bukka!

Great video Ana. Have a good day and weekend

Great advice

You look amazing Ana!

Very inspiring video, Ana! Thank you very much! Love from Germany :)

I love your new additions! ❤️ I also absolutely love linnen. I prefer loose fitted shirts and pants in summer. It makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. Nice video 💕

Great video

100% cotton or wool or bust 👍👍I wear wooly socks 38 in the shade weather.... more flannel and denim shirts in the winter I am addicted to loose denim......just do not prefer synthetics either...wonderful video Ana~~

I have that grey plaid shirt as well and I love it too - so soft and comfortable!

I am feeling for you in the heat! I notice how caringly you touch the clothes and how lovingly you talk about them. It made me think of how, when we are minimalists, we are likely to appreciate the things we do buy, even more. It is not how some people think it, we don't hate things, we are just very conscious of what we bring into our lives. I have been wanting some shorts. I bought three in a thrift store, and they are waiting for me to alter them to fit me better. But temperature here is only 18-21 C so I am not too motivated to do it right now.

I love that clutch you made, you are so talented Ana! Great video! 😊

Ana, your new additions to your wardrobe are wonderful and you look amazing in all your new purchases! I’m so glad that your kept some of your collars and you did a fabulous job on your knit purse. I have also never seen anyone look so beautiful in head wraps. Wow! A big hug to you and Bryan. Stay safe and well. Judy in Arizona 🌵

I love natural fabrics and drape-y clothes, too. I think you have chosen well and I like hearing why you chose what you did.

Nice to see you happy and enjoying life again. You look fantastic 😊

So happy to see you more peaceful and relaxed than a few weeks ago. And I like your new clothes. My style of dress is a lot like yours. And charity shops are wonderful to find natural fabrics at prices that are affordable. Good for you!

Goodmorning Ana! Nice video! I hope everything goes well in ur new life. Boho style looks nice on u. Keep going on and make more videos. Have a lovely day! Regards from cyprus🙂

You’re absolutely beautiful inside and out! Your wardrobe looks fantastic on you and is very classy. I also love your videos. It’s interesting to learn about where you are and the updates on your life. Sending best wishes to you and your husband ♥️

Love your new pieces! A comfortable cotton leggings ist must have for me, but hard to find because I'm very particular about the fit and also I prefer organic cotton. I can't stand synthetics, too, aside from a functional rain jacket. Linen is such a great material but difficult for me because I need to have some stretch in dresses or tops but I love my linen skirt and flowy pants.

Linen is a musthave here at the Balkans 🥵...it s really very hot and linen makes cooling effect

I love loose fitting clothes, though I don't look as chic in them as you do. I'm not slim like you! But I do love the feeling of comfort and freedom they give. I prefer linen, cotton and rayon and wear denim a lot. I enjoyed seeing your summer wardrobe. :)

I really love your fashion style and your ability to pick up things here and there and make them work together! And I adore that clutch you made!

Lovely pieces, Ana. I enjoy wearing linen and flannel too. During this particularly cold winter here in Australia, I'm on the lookout for a chunky jumper. Enjoy your new clothes, wishing you and Brian relaxed and peaceful days ahead. 🌞❤💕

Just catching up and watched this video today! I love the additions and happy you are getting cooler by adding them! The head wraps are so cute on you! But I confess that blue dress with the collar is right up my alley 🤣 stay safe and much love to you & Brian.

In warm or hot weather especially I only want loose fitting clothes. I need air circulation between my skin and clothing. I can wear tighter clothes in winter or fall, but in the summer I become a hippie! Only natural fabrics and loose fits. Comfort is everything. I never wear shorts outside the house but if I was going to wear shorts in public, they would have to be longer, like mid-thigh, and very loose/flowy. Almost like short culottes if they look like a skirt. I should make something like that, since it's not the current style it's not something I ever see in stores.

I love linin. I'm fortunate to have several very good second hand shops near me. I have a lot of beautiful linin thanks to them. Your new shift is lovely.

Ana what a great video as always! I really enjoy and appreciate the way you talk about clothes and how you value your belongings. Everything is precious and treasured and it feels like you are not taking your possessions for granted and really acknowledge what they bring you on a daily basis. I love how creative you are as well. You truly are inspiring! Take care 💓

I just love you new clothes. Everything looks good on you and they don't look second hand at all. Love your videos and so glad you are both together again.

I really love the colour of those leggings - it is beautiful. Also that almost ice blue if the T-shirt 🥰. Linen is lovely to wear. The bag and the colours are so pretty! Thank you for sharing this.

What a huge weather change for you! I love your new pieces of clothing. Thanks for showing and like you I have realized I need to wear natural fabrics too. Synthetics itch and bother me and I just can’t be comfortable with them on.

I love your style!! Thank you for this inspirational video!!

You ARE SOOO LOVELY!!! 🥰💜🧡

Hi Ana! I looooove your style. Also, I love the way you perceive clothing like something beyond fashion and trends.

You didn't fail. Your circumstances changed.

I love your new items! And I love your hats and scarfs too. 🤩 I have a very minimalist, bland, utilitarian wardrobe. I enjoyed hearing about how you chose your new items and how you are pairing your new items. You are clearly very intentional and I appreciate how much you connect with and value your clothing items. I'm inspired to add some more color to my wardrobe! And your legs are beautiful! I am also very fair. 😊

I too love linen in summer: mostly linen dresses. And you look wonderful with all your new things

Dear Ana, all of your videos are soooo lovely, and thoughtful, I enjoy watching them and listening to the way you are adjusting to your bright new life. Thanks for your videos , I feel like talking to a long distance friend.

Hello Ana! I love your minimalist-philosophical fashion shows! So inspiring and satisfying, for so many reasons. (Also, I’m sure I caught a glimpse of Дом Книги at the start of the video-which makes me happy and sad at the same time…) (they so often go together.) ❤

Failing is learning!

Hi Ana, I love the pieces you have added to your wardrobe…your style is very boho hippy which I love…love loose fitting clothing and linen is by far my favourite material to wear. Your legs are perfect! Thanks for the video 😘

Ana I love your updated wardrobe. You are very stylish and I love jow tour clothes are always carefully chosen and loved. Your vidéos always bring me much joy and I'm glad to see you happy. I wish you could receive parcels because I would love to send you a linen dress that's been staying in my closet for too long and I think it would be perfect. Love from France

Love your clothes! I'm with you on wearing T-shirts and linen. I don't like to show my legs either. Love your videos. Stay safe

I have the same preferences.... looser and natural fibers! I don't go with the "fashion", I buy what feels comfortable and what I feel suits me. Your new pieces are lovely and you look so happy... that makes me happy xoxo

Hello, beautiful! It is good to see you adjusting to hot weather :) I have the hardest time with shorts. They either feel too baggy on me or too tight, fitting my waist well or my hips well but never both. Good luck finding the right summer dress! Nothing beats the feeling of light linen on a hot day when a breeze rolls in ❤️

Dear Ana, I just love how you are telling stories about your new purchases/gifts in your wardrobe. I adore that respectful attitude to every each peace you own. I am on my way to minimise all I own. You are truly a hero in this materialistic world. I send you love and hugs. Thank you for another bright and interesting video 💙

I love your taste in clothes. I like most of the items you've showed in different videos. Simple, yet stylish.

Natural fabrics are so much more comfortable and breathable. The heat is extreme this year and I also am very pale and don’t like showing my legs. I’ve been wearing my jeans like always and it’s been torture. I’m going to have to give in and go find some suitable shorts to wear.

I love the clutch Ana. I would love you to do a video on how to make one. It's beautiful. I love how you lined it. I can crochet squares. Never thought of doing that. That made my day! I'm going to give it a try.😘

I love your sense of style, it's so effortless!! You've picked clothing pieces and accessories so thoughtfully. Just FIY, my legs haven't seen the sun in YEARS, they are so white, they have a blue tinge hahaha!, Yours are absolutely fine, go ahead and show them off! Keep well, I'm always so excited when I see you've uploaded a new video!

Your clutch bag is beautiful - hope you get to make more and your approach to clothing resonates hugely with me, especially textures as a form of protection. Thanks for sharing and yes you look a lot more relaxed - long may it continue ! X

Dear Ana, you are so so sweet, thank you very much for your new and wonderful video. I enjoyed very much watching it. I love you to be so attentive and carefull about everything and in this case your wardrobe. Take care, enjoy Albania and the reunion with Brian. Lots of love and light from Germany and a big hug

Hi Ana, I get you about insecurities. I have them too. I see you and you look so good. You’re legs look fine. They’re not transparent or paper white 😂 trust me your legs look so good. You look so pretty with dresses too. I’m so happy to see you happy and safe and free. We’re always here to support and love you girlie. It’s nice to see you
