My father was a super stylish Italian and he encouraged me to always look stylish - less is more - wear nice perfume, always have good shoes and bags and jewellery and always look after what you have then your good things can last a lifetime. And keep smiling and be gracious 🥰

[@daivabaniene3815]

The best advices I ever heard! Hats up for your father, he must be a very elegance gentleman. 😎

[@Chahlie]

A smile is the best accessory!

[@suzy1750]

Your father sounds like he was a lovely man. I have an elderly friend from Mexico (late eighties) and he still polishes his shoes religiously and wears a fedora that matches his outfit every day :)

[@fire2932]

Never let yourself go! Such great advice❤️ when you look good you feel good and you have to take care of yourself so you can take care of others

[@ms.frederique]

he sounds like an Italian gentleman - men I love xxx

so true x

[@cmmahone]

My Maternal grandfather, was a tall, handsome, elegant Dutchman, with a heart of gold. He taught me so many valuable things, about being a classy, good human being. He taught me grace 💌

[@carolynjeancole]

My father always said “Don’t buy a lot, but buy quality.” I always appreciated that. It made me feel good to know he would spend a little extra to get something nice for me or my sister or mother. We didn’t have a lot of money, so buying something nice meant a sacrifice for him. Everything is more special when you have to stretch for it. Love, love, love your video content and upbeat personality. 💕

[@whitesquirrel98]

My dada says the same. Also he taught me 'cost per wear' spend £300 if you wear it 150 days a year is a better investment than £20 and you only wear once!

[@michelleguevremont7067]

never leave the house without makeup and a nice outfit, even if I have to change at the last minute after being in the garden or cleaning the house. it just keeps me going.

[@freciemagdirila7075]

Excellent advice, staying away from “toxic” people resonates with me. I have a co-worker who’s filled with anger, hate, and jealousy. She literally prays malice on people. When she used to chat with me it was filled with hate and anger that I felt drained afterwards. Last week, she stopped talking to me, but I feel so much better; as if an an invisible, heavy cloud dissipated.

[@demeter7011]

I'm with you!

[@southernbelle7295]

Toxic people are like vampires! They drain you…

[@sarahboocock89]

I’m Russian Italian my mum instilled in me to buy the best shoes and handbag I could afford and always have well groomed nails and hair x

[@susanforet2117]

My dad who was Italian, encouraged me to always wear the best of shoes and use only Extra Virgin Olive Oil. LOL!

[@elizabethwilk9615]

I agree with everything you say on elegance but tattoos - totally agree on taking care of yourself and saving money. I think not only are you attractive but the way a woman moves and expresses herself also adds to elegance and you have that down. Love your channel.

Hello from Canada. Today was our Thanksgiving day / weekend. I saved your video till I put away everything. Got myself a glass of red wine and was watching your video. Perfect ending to a very perfect day. Thank you

so lovely xxx

[@l.b.3470]

I love your classy, positive attitude and radiant energy. Great tips! Other tips that come to mind are wearing clean, well-tailored and ironed clothes. I've also seen women who looked classy until they started talking and curse words came out of their mouths. My estimation of them immediately dropped. It's so important to talk as smart and intelligently as one looks.

[@yourlehrness]

Or chewing gum 🙄spend all that time looking perfect and ruin it with gum

My Mother and her Mother never said a swear word a d my father would correct us if we said anything that took the lord's name in vein.

[@lakelili]

Excellent recommendations. Would add watch how you speak... call it the Singing in the Rain element. Pronouce your words fully. Keep your voice lower in the register and avoid sounding whiny or strident. Nothing blows the elegant/sophisticated visual faster than opening your mouth and having a breathy high pitched little girl voice... and on those same line educate yourself so that when you do open your mouth you are knowledgable and have the fact to back your opinions.

[@ms.frederique]

thank you for watching x

[@beapc8673]

I absolutely love that you publicly stand firm on environmental issues...it makes your channel so full round and wholesome. Thank you.

[@katherinerichardson1767]

The tip I liked the best is about having a budget and staying within your means because, when you have a clear picture of your finances, you can feel confident which does show in your posture, your face, and your actions. You don't create worry lines or feel deprived. You know you have got this!! Thanks again for sharing and I am glad you kept the blouse. It looks great on you.

[@TheJoyNinjaNZ]

100% having control of your budget is powerful, I’m so pleased you thought outside the box with these tips

I’ve learnt so much from your channel and have created a capsule wardrobe of classic pieces including my shoes and handbags , I’ve paired down my costume jewellery again to classic designs , and when I walked into the hairdresser today , I was told I looked very channel, yet the clothes were inexpensive but styled together, I felt a million dollars just to hear that , so thank for your inspiration .

You are so welcome!

Hi, Frederique! You are a very nice lady. What Iike is that you give advice on environmental issues to people who would otherwise not be so aware of them! Also, I love your takes on how to be a classy person. A lot of us needed that!

Thank you Just x

[@elizabethcorser1753]

My mother used to say that “topping and tailing” was the key: clean and tidy hair, shoes and hands. The rest will follow .... and similarly to other comments: a gracious and sunny disposition always helps!

[@ms.frederique]

hahaha funny!

[@fredalearhinan6693]

Wonderful advice... my mother always said classy doesn't have anything to do with money. It's the attitude and always keep your belongings in tip top condition. So your advice is timeless

Wonderful wonderful tips. Never give up & NEVER use plastic!! Right On. Been fighting against plastic for seemingly decades now. Classy is an attitude. Simple but quality being key & not only caring for yourself, but the things you’ve actually invested in. They will last for as long as you care for them & want them.

Such a great piece! I love the monochrome look. Last Spring, I decided to wear a pale blue outfit ... Pencil skirt, soft cotton blouse, heels, full length smart cotton cardigan as a "coat" .... Couldn't believe how many compliments I received. Normally, I use navy and then add a little pale blue. I learnt a good lesson.

[@ligiabasilio197]

You're definitely an inspiration. I agree with everything that you've said, especially about having a budget. Being able to put money on the side is definitely a confidence booster. It gives you the power to say 'I'm not going to buy this, not because I don't have the money for it, but because I don't want to' Now that for sure gives you confidence and a sense of freedom and independence.? 😊

[@zenaidaroxas3535]

Love your tips!! I'm learning a lot.. I love looking classy, polish, well put together in simple ways.. Having a healthy lifestyle gives me healthy skin, nice body, sparking eyes and thick, dark, shiny hair.. I also invest in classic pieces of clothing... I stick to whites, blacks, beige, grays. Monochrome it is. Classic. Make up should enhance your feature. I prefer just sunblock gel, eyebrows and red lipstick. Classy is natural looking with effortless effect...

[@MsActor2009]

Oui oui oui, Frédérique! You don’t have to be very rich, however being in control of your finances creates a lot of calmness and confidence. The opposite can create a lot of chaos, stress and envy. (Saw it happen to my former best friend) Confident women want to see other women do well!
