Please make a second hand shopping video! Would be so interesting to see what you choose 🤩 Maybe vestiaire collective and vinted? Luxury and budget.

[@candole]

Second. I would love your tips for buying pre-loved.

[@rooster3990]

Second hand is lame.

"The police can't get you. I checked." 😄 Virginia is a beautiful state! Great Falls Park and Alexandria are both nice spots to visit. And Washington, DC, has many Ethiopian restaurants. Happy Easter to you and your family!

[@sherylbeamer7189]

A blessed and Happy Easter!✝️💜🙏🏼🐥🌷🐇 Love your channel thank you ☺️I found you during Lent while I was giving up negative content ! NO to the mob wife aesthetic

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

Happy Easter to you too, Sheryl! I’m glad you found me on a “positive” side of KZbin 😊

[@sandrab.3538]

I thought of you Mariana when I planned my travel outfit for a recent trip east coast U.S. to the west coast U.S. The attire of some travelers through the airports is shocking. I felt so good when the female attendant screening me through security said, "That's a beautiful outfit." (black crinkle maxi, cream tee, cream vest, gold patterned scarf) Thanks, Mariana!

[@vtcs1963]

Yay Romanians who moved to Brazil and then somewhere else - my grandparents and aunt did that! I thought you were Brazilian when I first heard you and then you said you lived in Italy and I was confused - also wondered if there was some Croatian there because you know - it’s close and your name! Love your channel!

[@karenjones6953]

Oh and when you are in Washington DC there us a restaurant called The Federalist Pig that serves great food!

[@CynthiaMignella]

I have been searching or a short sleeve cardigan forever, thanks!

[@ShadowyLady82]

great video Mariana. When I first discovered your channel, I thought you were from the Balkans but was confused by your accent which to me sounded portugese. I've got many close friends from the Balkan region here in Canada.

[@TrackUsDown-l2s]

Great video Mariana! Congratulations on 20K subscribers!! Well done! 💞

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

Thank you guys 🥰🥰🥰

[@robynwells8249]

Oh and if you bike ride there is a beautiful trail called The Creeper Trail in Damascus Va.

[@rooster3990]

About going to South of Brazil, consider not taking winter clothes during the summer. You did that in your teen years haha...

[@pamelabarrera4192]

Happy Easter Mariana💐, I love the video where you gave tips on how to spot good quality ítems, I made a list with all of them and take It with me every time I shop ❤️❤️

[@marianaschooping9172]

Happy Easter! So glad i found your channel. Love how classy and feminine your style is. Also, best name ever lol

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

The name is pretty good, isn't it? 😂

[@marianaschooping9172]

Haha. Yes!

[@zsuzsannamolnar5599]

Love your top! So chic and relaxed at the same time ❤

[@emilybaer9294]

Your US road trip sounds so fun! Which part of Virginia are you visiting? I live in northern Va and may have some tips 🤩

[@heatherhull1009]

So cool, your upcoming trip! I live in East Tennessee, just gorgeous area. If driving, Blue Ridge Parkway is a lovely and memorable drive! There is so much to see and do, it's hard to say! North Carolina has so much, culturally, also. I guess it depends on general focus of this trip: historical, cosmopolitan experiences, music, scenic, touristy, etc.

[@Shiryone]

I live about 1.5 hours south of Nashville, Tennessee. My recommendation is NOT to go to the main strip in Nashville, known as Broadway, unless you want beer spilt all over you by the drunks. I recommend German town or Hillsboro Village near Vanderbilt University, which has a great mall. The mountains are beautiful. Be prepared to experience fashion shock. It's not a priority in this state, generally speaking. I'm known as a fashionista in my area, simply because it's that bad. As for sewing, many, many....many years ago I took a sewing class. My project was a pair of shorts. I quit when I got to the zipper. Not my thing either. Great chat, TY!

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

Zippers were my nightmare too 😂

[@Ingrid0410]

Hi Marianna! Great video👍👍yes to do a thrifting video, if you have time to thrift with working full time

[@leeatomassoni3901]

Thanks for sharing. 🤗

[@robynwells8249]

I live in Virginia. Richmond and Charlottesville, are wonderful and there is an inn called Veritas in Charlottesville that is lovely. The mountains in Virginia are beautiful too, and the hiking is great. The Appalachians are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. The historic areas such as Williamsburg are fun, too. I meant to tell you I love the striped shirt you were wearing the last video.

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

Oh, great tips! Thank you, Robyn!

[@KIG024]

I have been to the Veritas winery and it is indeed beautiful!

[@robynwells8249]

@@KIG024 The Inn is beautiful, it’s a well kept secret.

[@robynwells8249]

@@MarianaZelenjuk Also 😂when in Virginia you need to get biscuits. In Richmond, Va. there are two places: Fancy Biscuits and Early Bird Biscuits.

[@LjiljanaMercier-dy8kf]

Zelen , the root of your last name means green in Slavic lanuage. Most likely, you have Ukranian heritage, Romanian, and Moldavian last names tend to be a little different.

[@oljadimak2902]

U completely agree, it's Ukrainian.

[@karenjones6953]

Hi Mariana, I wanted to ask you about the staple short sleeve sweaters, I'm trying to decide on cream or beige maybe, which best? I'm a redhead and navy looks good too.

[@karenjones6953]

Christ is Risen! Happy Easter!

[@karenjones6953]

There's also a green one , all J Crew

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

Karen, if you’re a redhead the green would look STUNNING on you! But if you prefer something more neutral, I’d go for a cream with your hair color. Happy Easter to you too 😌

[@karenjones6953]

Thank you!😊

[@rumzeia]

The Mob Wife Aesthetic is horribly insulting to Italians who desperately want to NOT be affiliated with that lifestyle - also a lot of Italians (mainland and Sicilian) have suffered because of the mafia. Also, crime is illegal and not cool. Ever. ....As far as bloodlines, I also have Balkan blood on my Mom's side and it is definitely a very dominant gene hahahaha don't be surprised by this Mariana! And you are gorgeous as always!

[@Simplelivingslowliving]

The second I heard you pronounce certain letters I knew you were Brazilian 😊.

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

It's in there somewhere 😂

[@pinkcrayon1382]

Confession: I just assumed you were from the southern regions of France. 🤔❤️

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

That's a first 😂

[@gratiamerancio9589]

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

Have you ever thought to do a DNA test on Ancestry ? I did one and was shocked. I am 68% British 😮I have never been to England. I Am from California …I will say I went to a deep dive in to my line on my family ❤

[@sophianachtigall3598]

Well, that’s reasonable. If you are not Native American, there is almost 100% chance you are having European ancestry.

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

I’ve aaaalways wanted to take one of those!!

[@anabelavandenheuvel480]

If you have a European passport you should be able to stay in Italy.

[@MarianaZelenjuk]

True!!
