[@staceyfletcher5073]

I normally prefer horizontal, but your format makes the focus on you and your outfits...so I don't think either option is bad.

[@kristinewells961]

Ditto!!

[@zellalaing5439]

Yeh i think for these videos vertical works.

[@danaeroberts684]

I agree!

[@JNPummill]

Agreed!

[@Julia96016]

Agreed 👍

[@lolat7355]

Watching you is like playing with Barbie, but with more clothes and a better fashion sense. Thank you for helping me upgrade my style.

[@tempestates13]

I'm gonna agree on the fashion part. Barbie's clothes today are looking a little sad. So sad i make my own with a few adjustments.

[@deeb8733]

​@@karenbertke3149I still have my Dawn doll AND Velvet doll too!!

[@thebitchescallmegump]

and cat

[@karnienka]

When my parents gifted me a Barbie (i was like 7 years old I guess), my granny sewed a whole wardrobe for her, dresses, suits, coats, even a fur-coat, tights, blouses, skirts and so on. I still keep them in my closet :) And yes, watching Andrea's outfits really resembles playing with a doll (in emotional sense), and this is bringing me the feeling of childhood safety and carefree-dom. I guess I had a wonderful childhood :)

[@laurarobinson1257]

Lol I thought the same thing. Great ideas!

[@isabelfakhoury45]

Everything about this video from the fashion, to the names of the belts, to the kitty was just pure serotonin

[@OKC2LV]

I'm an older woman (71) watching your videos gives me the courage to go beyond. I'm looking at my wardrobe in a different and a more daring light! Love ya, ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

[@shell1588]

Aha! So I'm not the only senior enjoying Andrea and her gloriously whimsical style! 💖

[@chrissparkes1421]

Me too! 😂❤️

[@marybarton2011]

Do it! Self love is the best love.

[@zandeehdz1]

Before this video I would have said that I don't like long vertical videos, but it made total sense to see this as vertical video, so now I think I like long vertical videos as long as the format makes sense for the content. Loved this one!

[@themurrrr]

I think for your fashion shows the vertical format works best. And that’s coming from someone who always hates vertical! My favorite outfits were definitely the very first one, that light pink skirt with the simple black top. And the second was the one with the mermaid shirt and Aliyah.

[@LovedSarita]

Same! I hate vertical videos but I really liked vertical because I can see better the outfit! It's closer to the eye and I can really appreciate all the details that on the horizontal tend to get lost with the background and excess of visual space

[@themurrrr]

@@LovedSarita THIS! All of this!

[@susanneberry236]

Albie is adorable.

[@themurrrr]

@@susanneberry236 Oh, Albie is def a showstealer.

[@rousseautr]

Ditto!

[@ms.annthropic6341]

Normally I hate vertical videos but I think it works really well with your content so it doesn’t bother me. Loved this longer video with multiple looks! Surprisingly, because I wear mostly black, I think my favourite outfit out of all of these was the green skirt with the colourful top - I wouldn’t have known how to style either of those pieces but they combined so well!

[@Ellieskitchen]

I’m convinced she can make everything look stylish. 👍

[@darkdaygirl]

I prefer vertical because I can see your whole outfit clearly and close up. By the way your videos have become multi-generational! My 11 year old daughter introduced me to your videos first, then I became hooked, and today I’ve shown this one to my 76 year old mother who was very interested to see how you designed the second skirt, she has one like it and wasn’t sure how to style it! Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@hollyl5702]

Yes! The vertical is great for seeing your outfits

[@alixzandrareynolds3418]

Loving the long vertical videos! My 6 year old daughter asks to see you nearly every day. She is inspired by your choices and is so happy to put together her own little outfits and explain the logic in her choices! 😂❤ I also love your style and so appreciate the positive, happy, modest, lovely work that you do! I never have to worry about inappropriateness when I click on your videos. You are a rare jewel! Thank you for all that you do!

[@tendertemple6429]

I prefer horizontal vids ❤

[@debraedith3446]

I love the vertical. Its much easier to watch.

[@klio9458]

That sounds so cute...!❤

[@clarrymacbbx3744]

Mine too! And now they always say, "LET'S DO IT!"

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

I’m an older lady, but am happily still slim and love fashion, especially statement outfits and things a bit different. Since watching your videos I’ve had many good ideas about putting clothes together and using what I have in my wardrobe, I’m also a bit more discerning in what I buy. Thanks for all your help and advice! Plus, if I’m a bit low, you really brighten my day and give me a mood boost with your bright positivity!❤❤❤❤❤

[@maryjanemccoy1159]

I love your sense of humor when you’re describing your outfits. Looking forward to seeing more videos.

[@Belisaurus]

I prefer vertical videos, and I really enjoyed this longer version with multiple outfits and styling ideas. Much more of these i Hope 😃🌈

[@kathybaker6329]

I will watch your show any way you film … I just love what you do!!

[@JeStary]

Omg 8 minutes!! This is such a gift, Andrea ❤ Thank you!

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

Here here🎉

[@user-tk8eo4ki1x]

Love your fashionista sense of style… shout-out from Orlando, Florida

[@scribblegurl]

I like vertical because it shows the outfits better and more closely. That bag is adorable and my favorite of your new purchases, which are all great. I love Aaliyah's voice and demeanor!!!

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

I love this format, and enjoyed ALL your skirts. It's always fun to see you and your pets, and your accessories "LET'S DO IT" 😂😂

[@prismadreams]

I think vertical videos are good for your content since they make you more of the focus. Albie's little meow at the end is so precious! I love seeing your adorable pets alongside your lovely fashion!

[@patsummer135]

I agree

[@JF59122]

I like how all her belts have names and their own personalities 😂❤

[@LianeAlbertNC]

I love her whole thing!! Lol, her backing up while facing the camera … and the whole “lets do it” and This is good, it’s good” She’s really creative and is so good at these…

[@silversmith8995]

I just found you through Shorts - your sense of humour and style are so refreshing! ❤

[@archierooroo]

Albie is ADORABLE!!!😻😻😻 I love all your outfits!!❤️

[@pdguardado5384]

Vertical is a great fit for the head-to-toe nature of your lovely content. Your videos always make me smile. Love all the sparkly and flowy items you found on holiday.

[@sparklypoof]

I loved this longer format (and all the kitten cameos!!) 😍 I am fine with either format - but gosh the longer time is GREAT! that cherry bag is ADORABLE, too!

[@chirode]

You can go with whatever format you like!When you talk the sun shines and my bad mood goes away!Thank you!🤗

[@laurarobinson1257]

Lol vertical. I love watching your design process. It’s fun to see what you do to tweak your outfits. You are very talented😊

[@raraavis7782]

The exciting moment, when she has styled the first outfit and you realize, the video isn't yet over!

[@toonbax3]

This longer video was so fun to watch! And honestly, as others have said, vertical really works for your videos since it focuses on your fashion. Great job!

[@alishamurdock3796]

The BEST 8:41 minutes I’ve spent today. Utterly enjoyable and fun to watch. Excellent editing and the fashion is sublime. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, enter the world’s cutest kitty‼️😻

[@claredyj2015]

Loving the longer format! The way you make clothes work is incredible ❤❤

[@thedidiest]

Andrea! You have inspired me to be more creative with my clothes - just what I've got in the closet - and I even pick up a few more "magpie" items when I'm thrift shopping now. And you know what? I get compliments every time I leave my house! I am 53 so when a 20-something comments on my cute outfit, it melts my whole heart. THANK YOU, ANDREA!! Oh and your question: Upright for shorts and long ways for long videos - and I like both long and short videos!

[@kwf92]

agree with this! Vertical for shorts, horizontal for longer

[@sleepypotato6487]

Oh my goodness that kitten snuggle break was everything what a gorgeous boy he’s going to be huge look at them paws

[@AM-cv9fi]

Seeing Belinda make an appearance makes me smile

[@marsgrrrl]

I was waiting for Belinda to come out, as soon as I saw the ‘shove shove’ 😂

[@MossyMozart]

I did not know that Belinda was reversible. Lots of tricks with that one!

[@jackiec.redmon5704]

I've been following you for about a month or so. I'm the fatherest thing from a "fashionable" person. You make fashion look addressable...fun...not so serious....and the way you present your stylings, just makes me smile and happy. Love, love, love your personality. Your videos are perfect. Thanks for putting some good into the world.❤ U.S.A. - Tennessee

[@GinaGrowe]

I watch on my computer, horizontal looks best but, with that said, I like your longer videos with multiple outfits and styling vs. one or two outfits. Quite frankly, I'm happy with whatever content you put out because your styling is awesome and I love hearing the places you go and the bargains you find. Naming your accessories cracks me up and your pets are precious. Thank you for brightening my day Andrea. Let's do it!

[@alicecain4851]

I like long vertical videos. I feel like you're closer and fill up the screen better. Your kitten is growing up so fast! He's adorable! I loved your "around the house" dress. Both comfy and stylish. Thank you, Andrea!

[@jrcjan]

Love the outfits, love the humour. Always makes me happy to watch these videos

[@margaretinsydney3856]

I love all those skirts so much! So twirly, so elegant, so shiny. What a wonderful haul.😊

[@MegaMusiceater]

thank you for another great video! I usually prefer horizontal videos, but with your fashion content the vertical frame makes more sence. I also love your makeup style! Would you consider doing a tutorial someday?

[@Mikancchi]

I wanna pop in to say I finally have my own Belinda! Wore it over a floral dress and it was fantastic! Definitely becomes my favourite.

[@IsisMarques]

Hi! Do you know the brand / model of Belinda?

[@TheDenisedrake]

Congratulations! I do not want to go full Belinda.... but I should look for a Linda or a Bailey to improve my look.

[@mirandabaggins501]

I have Belinda’s sister who came straight out of Barbie land! 😂🤣

[@lesliehanzawa4155]

Enjoy your videos vertically. Love the names of your belts and clothes and your little conversations with each piece. You have good fashion sense.

[@vennedria]

I love the vertical videos, don't change anything, your videos are perfect ! If you go back to south of France again, you should give a look at the shop Les Filles à la Vanille, in the city of Montpellier. The basement is cheaper and has a lot of fashion treasures. I miss that shop since I moved out, it's so unique.

[@BrebearMckae]

The pause and prep before the “let’s do it” brought me the smile I needed this morning 🤣💕

[@stephanievineyard2249]

Sandra really gave that green skirt/floral top outfit a finishing touch, I loved that outfit!

[@ReformedTryHard]

I was watching and thinking,"I know a belt is coming, but which one?" I don't know if I've seen Sandra before, but she was perfect.

[@michelledoll3712]

I like the vertical format. It means I can really see what your lovely clothes look like. Thank you for making these wonderfully helpful videos. I make my own clothes and want to create clothing that is both classic and modern. You have given me many great ideas!

[@melissacox8848]

Loved this longer format. It was nice seeing several different outfits.

[@glithch]

I love the long content! Its soooo fun to see your thought process and explanations, trying on multiple things. It actually feels educational lol. (And yes vertical is nice)

[@Emmaem111]

Oh god all your fits are so stunning and Albie’s lil mews and chitters are so precious I will CRY 😭

[@charlieblackrose]

Albert is SO cute ❤️ He looks about the same age as one of my girls, Kizzy. I did not expect Belinda to work with that green skirt combo, but of course you pulled it off beautifully 👏

[@cortney2631]

These long vertical videos are nice ❤! They center attention on you in your outfits instead of the room or whatever is in your background. It allows for you to quickly get off-screen too, to tuck stuff in, etc.

[@celestelopez4333]

I like all the SHINY THINGS TOO!!😂 Vertical is my preference as it let's us see your outfit better 😊

[@lilyofthevalley6992]

I Say, full length! I can’t get enough of your videos. Hello Albie , he looks like a baby lion lol. Love when you include your fur babies and let them walk around while you’re filming. You’re so sweet! All your outfits and purchases were fantastic. Thank you for all of the great ideas.🥰

[@junesprings8371]

I love this format and timeline! Please Albert has to be apart of them now!! He is so adorable!! I have wanted a kitty like him so bad they are just the best!!! Lol and I love you too, of course!😊❤

[@deborahmiller6387]

I love how you put your outfits together…I like especially the green metallicky skirt with the flowered top and thin gold belt! ❤❤❤

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

Are usually like the horizontal view from most of the videos I watch but I think because a lot of your content is full frame of you standing there I think vertical works better. I am loving the long format, as well!

[@patriciac4562]

Vertical suits you as it puts the focus on you (and Albie and Simone and everyone else). That little cherry purse is fabulous!

[@mystiez4558]

Andrea’s little smirk is so pretty!💖

[@speakezforkids545]

LOVE! The long vertical. Truly enjoyed the extra time and looks.❤️. Albert too🐈❤️

[@justherbirdy]

Andrea, I am not a fashionable person, but you make me believe I could put outfits together with your brilliant tips and actually look great. So good. So shiny. Perfection. Thank you.

[@barbarakubala-tr4fr]

I like vertical format. The green skirt went so well with the floral blouse.

[@alexzandra75]

Vertical because I almost always watch your videos from my phone. And I loved all your outfits. I loved when you were asking which black bag, I said the the rounded bottom bag and you chose it, I was happy I got the aesthetic correct. I love your kitty! Please more videos as you are available. Thank you.

[@Sylverminx]

Vertical! Thank you! Albie's the cutest! Magpie-tastic! ❤

[@Spedic3y]

Vertical is my vote! We get more detail on the outfits for sure! Great haul ❤

[@Doomscrollingalong]

the green and floral was unexpectly lovely. Well done. And I adore Belinda...can never get enough of Belinda. 😊

[@sybildarcy9166]

I like the long vertical because it shows your outfits better. I have COMPLETELY fallen in love with clothing again & I thank you 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@SouthernBelle]

I love that the shoes match the shiny bolero. I think it brings the outfits together so nice. And I love the earrings and bag that match. So pretty and playful.

[@hueckelaromat]

„Belinda delivers“ 😊 Thank you for this great new video, so many great new pieces in your closet.

[@melsy203]

I love the vertical for your videos, since you’re showing full outfits- it lets us see a little more detail! I absolutely loved that floral metallic top with the green metallic skirt - so pretty! And that last skirt…sooooo in love!!

[@deliadruhe7156]

I'm over here loving Albert. Which is only right given that I already love you and you're a part of a team. I appreciate your fashion sense, and the fact that you don't take yourself so seriously as to be unbearable. I love the humor that you frequently introduce, and your daring-do "let's do this" attitude. So, obviously, I'm saying I love it all.!

[@gildahendricks4398]

Can I just say, that ALL your videos, whether horizontal or vertical,are stunning and beautiful, as well as hilarious. You really have a wonderful gift of catching your audience 's eyes, and you concoct great ideas that are so totally different from other people's videos. Yours are all very unique, fun, informative, also the videos are very flowy. These have all the ingredients it takes to get your followers to stay around and the numbers are growing and the interests in the videos are absolutely phenomenal. Such a wonderful and creative job in your ideas and styles! I hope I can keep these amazing videos going for a long time!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉💕🤗😃

[@susanhowe6929]

"Look at my shoulder". 😊 It was a very fancy shoulder. Everything was lovely. You make the world a happier place. Thank you.

[@ArwenNMyrtlesMom]

It's a baby lion!! Albie is just the cutest thing! Normally I like horizontal videos, but since I started out watching your videos vertically, they've kind of grown on me. You picked up some beautiful finds on your trip. I do have to tell you that when I get dressed in the morning, I have started saying "Let's do it!!" before I pick out my clothes.

[@PrettyRose2]

I like the fact that she us willing to stop the video to feed cat. I like the way u treat ur pets. So admirable.

[@SashimiNeko]

I love your Antwerp/Green/Sandra combo! And that cherry purse 😲 ❤ Thanks to you, I've been working on making my wardrobe more colorful and getting out of my comfort zone with long skirts, belts and whatnot. So far I think I'm doing great. Now I must work on my belly that way I can model myself even better!!

[@fairygrrl45]

Omg BELINDA GO OFF! The way you completely transform the balance of an outfit with accessories and shoes is blowing my mind. I’m obsessed.

[@amoureux6502]

The outfit with the sequin top and Aaliyah is so elegant ❤️ also the vertical format frames your outfits better than horizontal would imo

[@jannetmortimer5291]

I love your vertical videos. Thankyou for the joy you bring

[@GrumpetteJV]

Love the longer videos! And your outfits are so cute! Albie is too adorable btw, I melt every time I see him. Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you. I really needed some positive vibes! 🖤

[@jessiychu]

I think vertical works great for these videos. I really enjoyed the longer format. Your short content is also wonderful, yet it is nice to see you do multiple outfits at once. Thank you for all you do!

[@MarjorieMorningstar191]

Love this video especially in the vertical format. Your eye for style is brilliant.❤

[@catherinepipe4504]

I love all your videos; regardless of format. You are glamorous and funny! Thank you!❤❤❤❤

[@hula62]

[@vanessathenavigator]

I’ve been missing you and now you treat us with this lovely long video! Hooray! And Albie is absolutely ADORABLE. I like the vertical format but either is good

[@fikanera838]

Vertical is perfect for fashion! And I do watch it on my phone. I love so many of you new outfits, but the two looks with that gorgeous, shiny, green sunray pleated skirt (floral blouse & metallic bolero) are my absolute favourites! And I can't decide if Albert or the cherry bag is the cutest! 🍒🐈 They're both adorable!

[@leadandelion5127]

I love how you explain WHY this or that works or not, so you have fun, we have fun and you also subtly teach how to make good outfit at home. :) Also seconding the vertical even though I look on phone with comments displayed and normally prefer horizontals, for all sorts of full body outfit view shots vertical works always better, plus you have about right "sides" around you in the camera so the final movie has good perspective.

[@papl20]

Thanks for asking, I love the horizontal format with your long videos! And I love all the outfits!

[@jshanee4]

Loving the longer video! ❤️ also for your fashion shows, vertical is my preference just because then I can see more beautiful magpie details of the clothes! ✨

[@michellefuhrman]

For the fashion videos I like the vertical view. I think it works well when showing off an entire outfit. I like the longer videos too. You inspire me to try a little bit more on my outfits.😊

[@tigressfair]

Hello Albie!!! Love your new items, your closet is lovely, and thank you for giving me some style ideas :) I have never been great with style, but you are giving me some confidence to try.

[@ruthdean4766]

This format is perfect. We can see your whole cute outfits! You are just such a joy to watch! Thank you for your videos. ❤

[@plushdragonteddy]

i think the vertical format is great for outfit videos! you’ve made me wish more fashion channels were filmed vertically.

[@Joanna_L]

Gold! Thank you! And I love the long format videos, and either horizontal or vertical works for me. I watch you on all my devices. 😊😊

[@betzabeteta2967]

[@bryannaliebsack6187]

I prefer horizontal videos! I also can't wait to start seeing colder weather outfits! 🍂🥰 Edit: I need to keep all my shoes visible next to my wardrobe like you do. This is good.

[@gypsybelle4757]

Such a fun post trip haul. And loved the Albert cameo! He has the sweetest meow! I do watch on my phone and love that horizontal shows the head to toe line and details of your outfits. *But!* I can always rotate my phone to make it horizontal so I will watch whatever way you film. You are a Joy! Thank you for teaching us!

[@baitustudios74]

I personally love the vertical format! It feels like it shows off the outfits in a cozier style than it would horizontally. more albie is a huge plus either way though what a cat ❤

[@ShanMarie1974]

Vertical is AWESOME! Nobody else does it & I'm really loving it!

[@kg2096]

Vertical for sure. Also loved the longer video today. Your short ones are like sweet little snacks that brighten up my day. This one was like when I finally get to sit with the whole bowl of ice cream. Both are delicious, but in different ways ❤

[@LuAnnSkaggs]

I like long horizontal videos.

[@thinkingbout]

Me too. Even though I also often watch on my phone I'm just more used to the KZbin horizontal format. Also since I'm probably too close to my phone anyway it doesn't bother me as much if it is smaller than the vertical version. In case it does there is always the option to rotate the phone! :)
