A more refined way of filling shoes , instead of paper balls, is to take some nice socks, fill them with lavender seeds, close them with a nice ribbon. They will fit nicely into any shoes and be a fragrant shoe tree .They'l look so good in your closet. Lavender gives the inside of your shoes a fresh scent, and will also chase moths away. Even better,if you have time and know how to sew, is to make some out of lovely printed fabric, matching the colour of your closet..
It would have been helpful to tell us though because if anyone wants to get a pair then they'll know where to look. Designer shoes are not known for comfort, so it's helpful when people tell you which ones are
She’s like that for all of them. She doesn’t flex the goyard or the lv or Chanel in her handbag video as well. People who know will know and those who don’t won’t care so.. who cares 😂
Hi Jamila, I am huge fan of your videos, love from India 🇮🇳 One request, can you make a video on how to consume difficult or complicated food items like sushi or tacos without creating a mess and embarrassing yourself in public? It would be of great help for clumsy eaters like me 😊
@@JamilaMusayeva Wow !!! I didn't expect such a prompt response !!! You doing a great job, Jamila. Me and my mum are your fans we wait for new videos every week.
I love how humble she is with her luxury clothing and accessories. She has these items but cares for them and chooses them wisely. I love it and will definitely try to practice this.
More shoe tips: -learn the right way of breaking in your shoes/shoe type -some shoes should NOT be cleaned with water, understand what type of care your shoes require -have a trusted cobbler (very helpful for nicer shoes) - girls with bigger feet will have an easier time finding a variety of shoes that fit more in western countries/stores/brands [size 40/US 9 is often the biggest female size in Asia] -visually be aware of your shoe size when picking out shoes (smaller feet do better with chunkier shoes but might look disproportionate with thigh high boots) -keep a personal collection of shoe items like anti-slip, waterproof spray, polish for leather, heel attachments for not sinking into soft grounds, sole support (just whatever you and your shoe collection would need to be wearable and presentable) - for long term storage, humid places, sweaty feet I recommend getting something for moisture, this is very important with real leather or shoes you care about in general -heel lovers will find those compact ballet flats helpful in their bags or even just a pair of socks
You mentioned my number one rule for delicate and longer heels for work: to always keep a pair of ballerinas in my purse! I usually go for light, compact and flexible models. Honestly that saved my feet a good amount of times. Sometimes the kind of floor changed, the day was longer and tiresome, the weather surprised me, emergency groceries in the end of the day, or even I was just up for a nice long walk on the streets.
@@FFF-ey9gs Yes. It is a very normal shoe size in my country (the Netherlands). Size 39 is average here, and so 38 and 40 are also very common. Many stores here even have shoe sizes going up to 42 or 43 for women.
@@indiplayseso that is so good to hear! approximately my shoe size is 39 depending on the type/shape. I was foot-shamed by friends back in highschool bcs of my big shoe size.
I couldn't agree more, I come from an indian family, and when a friend put his feet near my face and joked about wanting me to touch them I was livid. I was taught that your feet should never be near someones face and to touch someone's feet is a sign of respect and is mostly done to elders to show respect or to ask for blessings. Regretfully, even after explaining this to him, he continued to do this and was extremely insensitive and rude, safe to say, I dont talk to him anymore. If someone cant respect cultural differences, you shouldn't give them a single moment of your time.
@dreamland I know, but it seems like common sense to me to never put your feet near somebody’s face. A lot of the time it’s associated with something dirty or smelly and I would completely lose my appetite if somebody didn’t wear socks or slippers at the dinner table. But maybe that’s my personal opinion
I'm an Indian as well , and more than cultural differences, that person doesn't care about other person's health as well. If I was in your place , he would have received a slap ( verbal or physical ) .
@dreamland why are you defending someone putting a feet on someone's face ? People walk on feet , most of the dirts and germs contact our feet. Let's see how you react when someone puts a foot on your face. ( If anyone has feet fetish , should keep the acts private .)
As a cultural note: Canadians also take their shoes off when they come indoors. Our reason is probably that our winters are really messy... our shoes really are dirty lol. I always wondered whether Americans really did wear their shoes in the house or if that was just television.
Usually a second pair of shoes does the work. It's kind of a must to bag one in during spring and winter. But, I've totally seen some shoeless indoor during casual parties. Shoeless casual guest is extremely frequent, even during summer with a friend or close relative in small groups.
I come from an American Asian household and we always have two pairs of shoes. Like "Fiddler on the Roof" when Tevye says: "we have traditions for everything." Typically, at family parties I carry a pair of indoor only convers. I will add insoles or if I am with sportier friends, bring clean indoor sneakers (trainers) for whatever we have planned that day. It seems like a hassle for people who never deal with it, but it really does help prolong the life of your floors and their cleanliness. At my grandma's everyone washes their feet before and after exiting the house. Most of my "full Western" friends don't take off shoes in the house unless they're very muddy. So far as I can tell, when they do have messy shoes they put on a cleaner pair from a rack beside the door.
Believe it or not some homeowners would prefer you keep your shoes on bc to have people walk on your floor in their sweaty bare feet or in their dirty socks is disgusting. I'd rather them wipe their shoes on the mat that's provided outside the door, and there's also another mat on the inside of the door.
Hi, American here 👋 I have had the unique experience of living in Florida, NYC, and California - and I'll tell you that America is a huge country with a variety of cultures, and there's no hard and fast rule about shoes on or off in another's home here. It's considered a bit more intimate to take your shoes off here, so you certainly would never at a dinner party or with a group of people you may not know yet. Winter in NYC was quite messy, and I was surprised by those who did not have guests take their shoes off, because NYC only gets dirtier during slush-ice season. But to each their own.
I'm from Central Europe and we tend to wear slippers at home but for dinner parties it'd be ridiculous for people not to be able to wear shoes, it'd ruin their outfits, guys wearing a suit and a tie and then these slip on slippers made of cloth on their feet.
I’m American and I always take my shoes off when entering anyone else’s house, and I think it’s a sign of respect. I ask others to take their shoes off in my home as well. Shoes are dirty. (I live in a northern state where we are often wearing snow boots for six months out of the year so it’s quite easy to get into the habit.)
Same thing for much of Canada. You should see the big piles of shoes by the front door during house parties. When I went to Portugal though, most people didn't understand why I would want to take off my shoes. They were like "Aren't your feet cold??"
You are so elegant. I try to put your lesson in my life. Because when I see you, your inner beauty realy shines. Can I request a video about how to be elegant and classy in an argument or when you are angry? Is there any etiquette or tips that we should know? Thank you.
"Cultural Shock", oh my, just shows how the US has lost so much elegance and traditonal etiquette, truly beautiful. If you don't mind me asking, what is your Cultural? You are truly the definition of elegance, grace and timeless beauty. thank you for these vidoes:)
Hi Jamila, thank you for your informative video. It made me chuckle when you pointed at some of the heels and called them “mid-length” and “comfortable”. I could not walk in those for more than 5 minutes 😅 Maybe you could do a video on how to walk properly in heels?
Jane K hi Jane. These Manolo Blahnik heels are actually not that high and super comfortable. I wore them while pregnant with my daughter for my brother’s wedding. I rarely wear heels these days but when I do, these are my go-to.
I'm not a professional but I have figured out that in order to walk comfortably in high heels you have to have strong feet and legs! I am a high heel fan and it's probably the type of shoe that I wear most of the time and people always ask me how I am able to wear such shoes for so long!
In india if you are entering in anyone's house or temple or in small garments shop, you have to open your shoes whether for professional purpose or personal purpose.
I'm so happy I found your channel, your such an inspiration. Is there something like perfume etiquette, and could you do a video about that? Perfume is getting huge, new channels crop up every day, but there's not a lot of info about how to wear it ;)
Since you said - 'I read through every comment', made me interested in leaving a comment. I really like to watch your video's, your voice quality and grace is amazing.
Thank you Jamila for sharing some amazing , wonderful and useful tips with us about maintaining shoes in good condition. All your favorite shoes look fabulous on you.
Your videos are the best!! No body talks about details like you do 💕 keep On the great work! can you please make a video about clothing etiquette, when to wear them? And an explanation of matinee and soirée etc?
Wonderful video as always! I actually found your channel because have started hosting brunches for my family and relatives now that we are quarantined and I don't think that there's a proper protocol in place but I want it to be special and don't miss important little details. I watched your videos on dining and coffee etiquette and I have gotten great tips and ideas! So if you were interested in making a video about hosting a brunch I'm here for it! ❤️
nai thank you for your feedback! I will take your suggestion into account 😌

In the Nordic and Scandinavian countries as well in Central Europe you take your shoes off when entering your house or others’ house. You can wear wooden shocks that you can carry in your bag when you visit others. If you visit friends, they usually have visitors’ indoors shoes sat the entrance and you can wear those. Many other people who are not your close friends will have also visitors indoors shoes that they will offer you to wear when you enter their home. If you feel more comfortable wearing your own, carrying a pair of nice thick socks or very light flat shoes in your bag is a good practice. I usually carry a pair of ballet slippers in my bag for those situations, because that’s the lightest you can find to keep in your bag in small dust bag. :) -S I really like your videos, which I just discovered today.
Hello, Jamila. I am very thankful as I discovered your channel. Your videos are giving me a lesson that I may not receive in formal education. Thus, I strongly believe it will help me to adapt in the future & in every situation, also being an incredible way to respect myself. Once again, thank you for the informative videos!
Thank you for a very informative video! I live in the United States, and we do not wear shoes in our home. Whenever we have guests over, we always inform them of our practice beforehand. That way they can bring comfortable socks, etc.
Jamila Musayeva It’s definitely different in each household. I always feel uncomfortable wearing my shoes in my friends’ homes because I’m used to not having them on in my own home. My husband is half Japanese so he has always been used to this practice. 😊
@@itsmeGeorgina No, I do not make them. They can go barefoot, wear socks, slippers, etc. I just tell people to bring socks if that is what they are comfortable wearing. Some people get cold without anything on their feet. We just don’t have people wear their outdoor shoes in our home. My parents bring their slippers when they come over. 😊
For many years and still in many parts of the world today there are people who cannot afford any shoes so it makes me mad when people who have them dont look after them or take them for granted. Of course Ms Musayeva being a true classy lady appreciates her shoes and takes care of them and that should be lesson to all of us. To take care of things and put thought into things that others can never afford to have.
Great video, thank you. I heard that a French etiquette is that the shorter the skirt the lower the heals (which presumably means that the longer the skirt the higher the heals).
Hi Jamila ...from the day I saw your first video, I have become your fan. I am really obsessed with your sweet soft voice. I can watch your videos even when my mom is sleeping next to me and still she don't get disturbed. Lots of love to you...I really look upon you to have a personality like yours😍😇
i just discovered your account and i found it is very addicting! i reaaallyy like you and your videos. you’re doing a great job👏🏾 most “lady”-ish videos just annoyed me but this one its pure and full of knowledge, please make some moree. sending love from southeast asia🇮🇩.
Hi Jamila, you have such grace and class while talking that is amusing. I will definitely continue to follow your lessons but I have a request (if possible). May you please do a "style/dress etiquette video"?
Hi ma'am, Thank-you so much for this video. You describe everything with so much grace and elegance! I'm literally waiting for your next one because every thing you teach is simply amazing. You inspire!
Actually, if you took off your shoes at a house in Spain, it would generally be considered really weird. I think it also depends on the type of floor that homes have. For example, here in Spain, carpet is not common at all, and the floor is normally cold and can allow the footprints to be visible.
Your low volume voice is so natural and thus soothing. It doesn't sound pretentious. In fact everything about you seems natural! You're an inspiration 😍.. Also, you're petite and lovely; petite itself to me translates to class! You're simply born into it! How lucky!😍 Special request: Could you please make a video on wardrobe staples for different ocassions such as formal, informal, casual, dates, nightwear, weddings etc? Thank you SO much! 💋🌷
Lovely as always. Would you mind making a video on your educational background and what kind of certifications you went through to become professional in your field? Lots of love ❤️
Hello Jamila I really like your videos! simply and very helpful for people that just want to give the best impression of themselves! Regards from Chile! :)
Growing up in an Italian family, we never wore our shoes in our home. We all had our own slippers on a little bench area. Our shoes went under and the slippers went in the center. So they would always be clean. My family still has this rule. And my husband and I have slippers with our monogram on the toe. I keep some different sized washable slippers hanging in linen bags with sizes on the outside for guests to use. Especially in the winter. It’s cold and of course I wouldn’t expect them to walk around barefoot or in socks. Our floors can be a bit cold. And I agree with you completely on the comfort statement. I don’t care how good shoes look on, if they are uncomfortable I just won’t purchase them. I think this is a good point to make for brides. You are going to be on your feet for hours and hours. Get some nice classic comfortable ones and if you can, break them in beforehand. And if you plan to change your shoes at some point during the reception (as I did) I made sure that they still fit with my dress. They were white ballet flats with a small satin bow to match my wedding.
Hey Jamila , legit sat and binged all your videos and they’re all SOO SOO good and helpful. Wanted to suggest you to make some videos on dress up and outfit etiquette ( if that’s even a thing ) but yeah dressing up the proper way. Thank you soo much for these videos they’re unlike I’ve ever seen on this platform🙏🏻✨
Ask regarding the shoes (grew up in North America and everyone we knew removed shoes). Many places with geography issues such as sand, snow, mud also remove shoes. We never wore shoes inside and Hollywood is Hollywood. The host can always let you know what they prefer, they may switch to 'house shoes'. If you see uncomfortable they may have you leave them on and then clean after you leave. There are studies that show wearing outside shoes into the home is not clean. Please do a video on long term foot health in regards to shoes, what is comfortable now may deform us later and the actual heal heights or how long you can wear the shoes before feeling discomfort. Do you carry spare shoes?
I just wonder how can someone go to work wearing those sky high heels...😐, please tell us how to manage wearing high heels for long time. Thanks Jamila for everything you teach us.
A good pair of heels generally shouldn't hurt. Look for good construction and quality materials! There are brands that won't break the bank, especially if you look for sale items (purchase basics after season, for instance, for the next year). Do not buy off Amazon, those are usually Chinese fakes; purchase direct from the manufacturer or a retailer with a good reputation. The brand I go with usually costs around $150-$200 full price for a pair I can wear for literally years upon years with care (solid, comfortable construction, leather/quality materials), but I purchase basics after-season for around $60-80. I wear "sky-high" heels, and they are comfortable. I have mid-heels that I can wear walking all day in the city -- it's worth it. I mean, you can buy a pair of garbage heels for $40 at Target or T.J.Maxx that hurt and feel terrible and are made of plastic, or you can spend a bit more for a great pair you love that look amazing and last for years. I do heels similar to Jamila: I keep a black pair, a neutral pair, also a black bootie heel and a neutral bootie heel + 1 "special" in favorite color (seafoam suede for me).
Please make a video on what to wear to look elegant at home. I have kids at home. Right now I just live in pretty dresses and flats but in winter I cant seem to nail it down to look elegant. Thank you for your videos. I love it.
I do love a quite edwardian look. Blouse and a long woolen skirt. Petticoats are awesome, I mostly wear linen ones but I have one out of wool flanell that makes any skirt winter wearable. Also, of course layering. Slips are awesome, layer above it a t shirt and then a blouse. And if you're still cold a vest.or some kind of pinafore dress. Combine with some warm stockings and boots and a long coat and you're elegant and warm all winter. At least in my book :) I get a lot of compliments, so I think it is a pleasing style
Very informative video and beautifully explained. Generally, we pay attention to our body, clothes, and hair but we often forget to pay attention to our feet or footwear. Even I am careless regarding footwear but after watching this video I am going to pay attention. Thank you so much for the video.
I would really love a video on etiquette whilst having a disagreement with someone / arguing / or someone just really upsets you in public or amongst peers.
I keep the shoes in their original packaging with the paper inside the shoes and the covers and box. The manufacturer made these because they know its the best way to preserve the shoes. When I want to wear them, I take them out, wear them, take them off, clean, leave overnight to dry, put the paper back inside the shoe, insert in the bag and put inside the box. It elongates the lifespan of the shoe. I clean the bottom of the shoes with tissue paper so i can throw it away then clean any tissue that fell on the bathroom tiles, I dont want my towels getting dirty from the dirty streets. Thank you for teaching people what schools should have taught us, this is Basic Life Lessons 101 than no one talks about.
You have a very refined impeccable taste! I really love the very elegant blue shoes with the stunning buckle embellishment! Who could go wrong with a classic patent leather pump with stiletto heels! While I love very high heels shoes have become a sort of status symbol so I see a trend of women wearing shoes with extreme proportions that are too near impossible for anyone to walk in and they end up looking ridiculous! If a woman is struggling to walk or they wince in pain with every step the shoe is not for them!
I’m getting to love your videos, it’s very informative. I love your soft voice also, its suits my ear, its like the people here in Japan, they have the soft voice when they’re talking❤️❤️❤️ Watching here from Japan💐🌸🌹
I'm a student which means I have to respect the dress code (no heels or short dresses ) and at the same time want to dress lady like and sometimes it can be too much I could really use some tips !!!
Hi, Jamila! Your videos are very helpful in personal grooming and leaving a good impression. I'd be thankful if you make a video for routine university day in Asian countries and how to look presentable on your convocation, as it's a very important event
Hi. Thank you for your feedback! Can you specify what exactly would you like the video to be on? I have a video on deportment (two series) - how to stand, sit and carry yourself. More videos will be coming soon on other topics that you might find useful for looking more presentable. Stay tuned 😊
I want to look the best at my graduation ceremony so I was wondering if you could help me know what sort of dress, shoes or hairstyle would do the job right
@@ayeshasummiya7033 so will it be on a grass. If yes, I urge you to opt for wedges or small but block heels so it does not get stuck on the grass. Since it will be in the late afternoon during spring season, you can go for some flowery cocktail dress. You can put your hair either up or down depending on what suits you.
Hi Jamila, thank you for this video! You have a great collection of shoes. Could you please make a video for Winter shoes, coats and how to be stylish outdoors?
What a lovely channel you have and very informative! Would love to see a videos on dress codes for weddings and perhaps focus on different cultures in different video’s 🌸
Hi, I just found your channel recently and I loved the contents. Especially since I've been reading novels and manhwas about medieval era and most of the main characters are either princesses or noble ladies. Maybe that's why I'm intrigued in learning etiquettes and I just found myself the perfect teacher thanks.
Hi Jamila! It will mean a lot if you answer to whether it is considered non elegant to wear imitation suede shoes? As a social etiquette consultant thanks for taking time out and making this content. We get to learn from a professional without spending a fortune. Nothing can be more blissful than that. Your efforts are highly appreciated, Ma’am 😊
Thank you so much for talking about taking off /keeping on shoes when walking into someone's home. It is a personal pet peeve of mine when people who come to my home do not take off their shoes. Even though us the hosts dont have outdoor shoes on in our home. Can you let me know how to ask someone to take off their shoes when entering my home without making them feel unwelcome or offended.
Why not have a small sign that simply says "please remove your shoes" I think it helps if you have shoe storage either outside the entrance or right by the entrance way in the inside of your home, people will see the shoes and know you obviously remove them before entering
In relation to the shoe tips, I was wondering if you could also provide some advice on the appropriate stockings choices for various formal/semi-formal occasions. TY!
I am a shoes person and you are right we should wear a particular pair of shoes according to the occasion. This is so informative and interesting topic.
I used to have a pair of black leather ankle boots and yes, I wore them with everything! They wore out after a couple year, but I'm hoping to find another pair I like as well.

-visually be aware of your shoe size when picking out shoes (smaller feet do better with chunkier shoes but might look disproportionate with thigh high boots)
-keep a personal collection of shoe items like anti-slip, waterproof spray, polish for leather, heel attachments for not sinking into soft grounds, sole support (just whatever you and your shoe collection would need to be wearable and presentable)
- for long term storage, humid places, sweaty feet I recommend getting something for moisture, this is very important with real leather or shoes you care about in general
-heel lovers will find those compact ballet flats helpful in their bags or even just a pair of socks

Same thing for much of Canada. You should see the big piles of shoes by the front door during house parties. When I went to Portugal though, most people didn't understand why I would want to take off my shoes. They were like "Aren't your feet cold??"
I also put them off instinctively and will see wether that’s right or I can keep them on 😅 better than keeping them on when you shouldn’t
I have watched about 8 of your vids in a row. I’m sure that qualifies as “bingeing” lol. Thank you very much.
Thank you!
same :D very soothing stuff, and informative too :)
May I just add that I love the last pair of shoes n the vid...I get excited about ankle boots too
I appreciate that you mentioned taking good care of your shoes. A lot of people do not clean their shoes after use and they look shabby after a while.
You are so elegant. I try to put your lesson in my life. Because when I see you, your inner beauty realy shines. Can I request a video about how to be elegant and classy in an argument or when you are angry? Is there any etiquette or tips that we should know? Thank you.
Thank you! 😊
I would suggest not resorting to shouting, complete waste of time and it only escalates.
@@patsydf usually i do not shout. But sometimes i used too much of sarcasm when im angry i think its not classy :(
i appreciate that your never emphasis brands. really enjoy your content and learning from them. thanks.
Thank you! 😌
"Cultural Shock", oh my, just shows how the US has lost so much elegance and traditonal etiquette, truly beautiful. If you don't mind me asking, what is your Cultural? You are truly the definition of elegance, grace and timeless beauty. thank you for these vidoes:)
she's from azerbaijan
lost? did US even have it?
For me the US is the least elegant country of all
@@erzhenatarnueva3603 you got that right
@@Paula-jw6li we don't even know what elegance is
Hi Jamila, thank you for your informative video. It made me chuckle when you pointed at some of the heels and called them “mid-length” and “comfortable”. I could not walk in those for more than 5 minutes 😅 Maybe you could do a video on how to walk properly in heels?
Jane K hi Jane. These Manolo Blahnik heels are actually not that high and super comfortable. I wore them while pregnant with my daughter for my brother’s wedding. I rarely wear heels these days but when I do, these are my go-to.
I'm not a professional but I have figured out that in order to walk comfortably in high heels you have to have strong feet and legs! I am a high heel fan and it's probably the type of shoe that I wear most of the time and people always ask me how I am able to wear such shoes for so long!
I always have nice shoe liners to put on my feet when I go to someone's home and I take my shoes off. Love your videos, your voice is so calming.
Thank you 😊
@Frances To be polite take them off and go around barefoot or with no show socks. Slippers can be perceived snobbish.
In india if you are entering in anyone's house or temple or in small garments shop, you have to open your shoes whether for professional purpose or personal purpose.
I'm so happy I found your channel, your such an inspiration. Is there something like perfume etiquette, and could you do a video about that? Perfume is getting huge, new channels crop up every day, but there's not a lot of info about how to wear it ;)
Thank you! 😊 your suggestion is noted
Since you said - 'I read through every comment', made me interested in leaving a comment. I really like to watch your video's, your voice quality and grace is amazing.
Thank you very much ☺️
Thank you Jamila for sharing some amazing , wonderful and useful tips with us about maintaining shoes in good condition. All your favorite shoes look fabulous on you.
My pleasure 😊
Your videos are the best!! No body talks about details like you do 💕 keep On the great work!
can you please make a video about clothing etiquette, when to wear them? And an explanation of matinee and soirée etc?
So sweet of you! Thank you very much :) Love your suggestions! Will note them down for sure :)
I wasn't looking for this video bt I could not go back r stop watching it. Might b coz of ur etiquette 🙂
I adore your channel!
Morgan Kaye thank you, dear! ❤️
Hi Jamila much love from Uganda 🇺🇬 East Africa,I appreciate your efforts and Ur videos are really helpful 💓💓💓💓
Thank you!
Wonderful video as always! I actually found your channel because have started hosting brunches for my family and relatives now that we are quarantined and I don't think that there's a proper protocol in place but I want it to be special and don't miss important little details. I watched your videos on dining and coffee etiquette and I have gotten great tips and ideas! So if you were interested in making a video about hosting a brunch I'm here for it! ❤️
nai thank you for your feedback! I will take your suggestion into account 😌
In the Nordic and Scandinavian countries as well in Central Europe you take your shoes off when entering your house or others’ house. You can wear wooden shocks that you can carry in your bag when you visit others. If you visit friends, they usually have visitors’ indoors shoes sat the entrance and you can wear those. Many other people who are not your close friends will have also visitors indoors shoes that they will offer you to wear when you enter their home. If you feel more comfortable wearing your own, carrying a pair of nice thick socks or very light flat shoes in your bag is a good practice. I usually carry a pair of ballet slippers in my bag for those situations, because that’s the lightest you can find to keep in your bag in small dust bag. :) -S I really like your videos, which I just discovered today.
Thank you for sharing this ☺️
Hello, Jamila. I am very thankful as I discovered your channel. Your videos are giving me a lesson that I may not receive in formal education. Thus, I strongly believe it will help me to adapt in the future & in every situation, also being an incredible way to respect myself. Once again, thank you for the informative videos!
Carmelita Vondra Hi Carmelita. Thank you very much for your sweet message. It makes me very happy to hear such a feedback!
Thank you for a very informative video! I live in the United States, and we do not wear shoes in our home. Whenever we have guests over, we always inform them of our practice beforehand. That way they can bring comfortable socks, etc.
It is different, of course, in every household 😊 Thank you for sharing.
Jamila Musayeva It’s definitely different in each household. I always feel uncomfortable wearing my shoes in my friends’ homes because I’m used to not having them on in my own home. My husband is half Japanese so he has always been used to this practice. 😊
You make people wear socks????
@@itsmeGeorgina No, I do not make them. They can go barefoot, wear socks, slippers, etc. I just tell people to bring socks if that is what they are comfortable wearing. Some people get cold without anything on their feet. We just don’t have people wear their outdoor shoes in our home. My parents bring their slippers when they come over. 😊
I respect you keeping elegant and slender after having relationship and kids!
Thank you 😊
For many years and still in many parts of the world today there are people who cannot afford any shoes so it makes me mad when people who have them dont look after them or take them for granted. Of course Ms Musayeva being a true classy lady appreciates her shoes and takes care of them and that should be lesson to all of us. To take care of things and put thought into things that others can never afford to have.
Great video, thank you.
I heard that a French etiquette is that the shorter the skirt the lower the heals (which presumably means that the longer the skirt the higher the heals).
Good one ☺️ love it!
Love how you speak please teach us etiquette and techniques on speaking 🥺☺️
Hi Jamila ...from the day I saw your first video, I have become your fan. I am really obsessed with your sweet soft voice. I can watch your videos even when my mom is sleeping next to me and still she don't get disturbed. Lots of love to you...I really look upon you to have a personality like yours😍😇
Thank you very much!
best etiquette channel on YT by far. the attitudes of the other just dont exude elegance and class the way you do.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
i just discovered your account and i found it is very addicting! i reaaallyy like you and your videos. you’re doing a great job👏🏾
most “lady”-ish videos just annoyed me but this one its pure and full of knowledge, please make some moree. sending love from southeast asia🇮🇩.
Thank you Nabila 🙏🏻😊
She is both classy and down to earth. Great channel!
Thank you very much!
Your dress is so stylish and classic. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
just discovered your channel today and LOVE your content, delivery and aesthetic! You are like the Azerbaijani Marie Kondo
Thank you! 🙏🏻 Greeting from Baku 🇦🇿
Your Voice is so soft and your vdieos so informative
Hi Jamila, you have such grace and class while talking that is amusing. I will definitely continue to follow your lessons but I have a request (if possible). May you please do a "style/dress etiquette video"?
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Hi ma'am, Thank-you so much for this video. You describe everything with so much grace and elegance! I'm literally waiting for your next one because every thing you teach is simply amazing. You inspire!
Need a video on daily habits to look more elegant classy and put together pleaseee!
Actually, if you took off your shoes at a house in Spain, it would generally be considered really weird. I think it also depends on the type of floor that homes have. For example, here in Spain, carpet is not common at all, and the floor is normally cold and can allow the footprints to be visible.
Thank you for sharing!
Always take my shoes off. my friends know that and they do that when come to visit me.thank you .Love your voice very nice.
As always, you've provided useful information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on etiquette. You make your followers a bit wiser with every video
Your low volume voice is so natural and thus soothing. It doesn't sound pretentious. In fact everything about you seems natural! You're an inspiration 😍..
Also, you're petite and lovely; petite itself to me translates to class! You're simply born into it! How lucky!😍
Special request:
Could you please make a video on wardrobe staples for different ocassions such as formal, informal, casual, dates, nightwear, weddings etc? Thank you SO much! 💋🌷
Thank you very much!
Your channel deserves more subscribers.
Learning from Your class is my morning routine. Thank you for sharing
Happy to hear it 😊
Lovely as always. Would you mind making a video on your educational background and what kind of certifications you went through to become professional in your field? Lots of love ❤️
A new follower here...just watched your 5 videos in a row. Love your elegance and inner beauty! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Omg Manolo blahnik blue shoes, those are my dream pair of shoes since I ever saw them on sex and the city the movie.
Hello Jamila
I really like your videos! simply and very helpful for people that just want to give the best impression of themselves!
Regards from Chile! :)
Muchas gracias! Saludos a Chile 😊
I started from the bags and now im binge watching 🥰
😊🙏🏻
My sound is on 100% whenever I am watching your video
Growing up in an Italian family, we never wore our shoes in our home. We all had our own slippers on a little bench area. Our shoes went under and the slippers went in the center. So they would always be clean. My family still has this rule. And my husband and I have slippers with our monogram on the toe. I keep some different sized washable slippers hanging in linen bags with sizes on the outside for guests to use. Especially in the winter. It’s cold and of course I wouldn’t expect them to walk around barefoot or in socks. Our floors can be a bit cold. And I agree with you completely on the comfort statement. I don’t care how good shoes look on, if they are uncomfortable I just won’t purchase them. I think this is a good point to make for brides. You are going to be on your feet for hours and hours. Get some nice classic comfortable ones and if you can, break them in beforehand. And if you plan to change your shoes at some point during the reception (as I did) I made sure that they still fit with my dress. They were white ballet flats with a small satin bow to match my wedding.
Hey Jamila , legit sat and binged all your videos and they’re all SOO SOO good and helpful.
Wanted to suggest you to make some videos on dress up and outfit etiquette ( if that’s even a thing ) but yeah dressing up the proper way. Thank you soo much for these videos they’re unlike I’ve ever seen on this platform🙏🏻✨
Thank you very much!
Ask regarding the shoes (grew up in North America and everyone we knew removed shoes). Many places with geography issues such as sand, snow, mud also remove shoes. We never wore shoes inside and Hollywood is Hollywood. The host can always let you know what they prefer, they may switch to 'house shoes'. If you see uncomfortable they may have you leave them on and then clean after you leave. There are studies that show wearing outside shoes into the home is not clean. Please do a video on long term foot health in regards to shoes, what is comfortable now may deform us later and the actual heal heights or how long you can wear the shoes before feeling discomfort. Do you carry spare shoes?
So soft and nice to listen to you. Thank you.
Thank you!
You have the capacity to hold your audience.... This is 4th video of yours in a row that I watched.... moving ahead for 5th....keep going!
So happy to hear that ☺️🙏🏻
i keep rewatching your videos to remind myself the etiquettes. also congratulations on hitting over 150k ma'am!
Thank you!
I'm binge watching this🌟
I just wonder how can someone go to work wearing those sky high heels...😐, please tell us how to manage wearing high heels for long time. Thanks Jamila for everything you teach us.
Sky hi? Didn't see any.
A good pair of heels generally shouldn't hurt. Look for good construction and quality materials! There are brands that won't break the bank, especially if you look for sale items (purchase basics after season, for instance, for the next year). Do not buy off Amazon, those are usually Chinese fakes; purchase direct from the manufacturer or a retailer with a good reputation. The brand I go with usually costs around $150-$200 full price for a pair I can wear for literally years upon years with care (solid, comfortable construction, leather/quality materials), but I purchase basics after-season for around $60-80. I wear "sky-high" heels, and they are comfortable. I have mid-heels that I can wear walking all day in the city -- it's worth it. I mean, you can buy a pair of garbage heels for $40 at Target or T.J.Maxx that hurt and feel terrible and are made of plastic, or you can spend a bit more for a great pair you love that look amazing and last for years. I do heels similar to Jamila: I keep a black pair, a neutral pair, also a black bootie heel and a neutral bootie heel + 1 "special" in favorite color (seafoam suede for me).
Please make a video on what to wear to look elegant at home. I have kids at home. Right now I just live in pretty dresses and flats but in winter I cant seem to nail it down to look elegant. Thank you for your videos. I love it.
I do love a quite edwardian look. Blouse and a long woolen skirt. Petticoats are awesome, I mostly wear linen ones but I have one out of wool flanell that makes any skirt winter wearable.
Also, of course layering. Slips are awesome, layer above it a t shirt and then a blouse. And if you're still cold a vest.or some kind of pinafore dress.
Combine with some warm stockings and boots and a long coat and you're elegant and warm all winter.
At least in my book :) I get a lot of compliments, so I think it is a pleasing style
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Incredible videos! I love how thoughtful and practical your tips are. Lots of love from Pakistan x
Thank you! 😊
Very informative video and beautifully explained. Generally, we pay attention to our body, clothes, and hair but we often forget to pay attention to our feet or footwear. Even I am careless regarding footwear but after watching this video I am going to pay attention. Thank you so much for the video.
You are very welcome ☺️
High heels are so elegant. I love them.
I just found your video. I do love you immediately. I sent it to my beloved daughters so they can learn proper way from you. Love from UK
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Perfect video,perfect explanation,when I’m relaxing,I just open one of your videos 👼🏻good luck on your next projects❤️
I would really love a video on etiquette whilst having a disagreement with someone / arguing / or someone just really upsets you in public or amongst peers.
I keep the shoes in their original packaging with the paper inside the shoes and the covers and box. The manufacturer made these because they know its the best way to preserve the shoes. When I want to wear them, I take them out, wear them, take them off, clean, leave overnight to dry, put the paper back inside the shoe, insert in the bag and put inside the box. It elongates the lifespan of the shoe. I clean the bottom of the shoes with tissue paper so i can throw it away then clean any tissue that fell on the bathroom tiles, I dont want my towels getting dirty from the dirty streets.
Thank you for teaching people what schools should have taught us, this is Basic Life Lessons 101 than no one talks about.
Sure, the shoes on/off indoor issue is a big culture when I came to the USA too. And I'm not surprised that most regions prefer to take them off...
I am from Turkey, love your videos so much.
You have a very refined impeccable taste! I really love the very elegant blue shoes with the stunning buckle embellishment! Who could go wrong with a classic patent leather pump with stiletto heels! While I love very high heels shoes have become a sort of status symbol so I see a trend of women wearing shoes with extreme proportions that are too near impossible for anyone to walk in and they end up looking ridiculous! If a woman is struggling to walk or they wince in pain with every step the shoe is not for them!
I agree! Thank you for saying this 😊
Jamila I just discovered your channel and I LOVE it! You’re classy, elegant and thoughtful. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful content!
Thank you for your lovely words!
Wow .
Thanks...Lots of love from Bangladesh
Newly obsessed with this channel. Really appreciate your work 🙏❤️
Thank you!
I’m getting to love your videos, it’s very informative. I love your soft voice also, its suits my ear, its like the people here in Japan, they have the soft voice when they’re talking❤️❤️❤️
Watching here from Japan💐🌸🌹
I'm a student which means I have to respect the dress code (no heels or short dresses ) and at the same time want to dress lady like and sometimes it can be too much I could really use some tips !!!
This video was nice I was able to see what kind of shoe I wear when I go out.
I love your style😻 So elegant and feminine. Thank you for sharing beautiful videos. ✨
Thank you!
I am really into learning etiquettes.Happy to found your channel.
Its like therapy to watch your videos.
Love♥️
So sweet n gentle...so soothing ur voice is!😍
Thank you!
Hi, Jamila! Your videos are very helpful in personal grooming and leaving a good impression. I'd be thankful if you make a video for routine university day in Asian countries and how to look presentable on your convocation, as it's a very important event
Hi. Thank you for your feedback! Can you specify what exactly would you like the video to be on? I have a video on deportment (two series) - how to stand, sit and carry yourself. More videos will be coming soon on other topics that you might find useful for looking more presentable. Stay tuned 😊
I want to look the best at my graduation ceremony so I was wondering if you could help me know what sort of dress, shoes or hairstyle would do the job right
@@ayeshasummiya7033 I see now. When is it? What is the dress code like and what time of the day/ venue is it going to be held in?
It will be within the university ground inside a canopy, probably in the afternoon- spring season
@@ayeshasummiya7033 so will it be on a grass. If yes, I urge you to opt for wedges or small but block heels so it does not get stuck on the grass. Since it will be in the late afternoon during spring season, you can go for some flowery cocktail dress. You can put your hair either up or down depending on what suits you.
Really Classic style of teaching Class
Thank you!
Me encanta la forma en la que hablas, muy claro y con calma 😍
Muchas gracias
I don't even know how I got here, but I've been binge watching your videod and I love them!
Thank you!
Hi Jamila, thank you for this video! You have a great collection of shoes. Could you please make a video for Winter shoes, coats and how to be stylish outdoors?
What a lovely channel you have and very informative! Would love to see a videos on dress codes for weddings and perhaps focus on different cultures in different video’s 🌸
Thank you! 😊
Hi, I just found your channel recently and I loved the contents.
Especially since I've been reading novels and manhwas about medieval era and most of the main characters are either princesses or noble ladies. Maybe that's why I'm intrigued in learning etiquettes and I just found myself the perfect teacher thanks.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Hi Jamila! It will mean a lot if you answer to whether it is considered non elegant to wear imitation suede shoes? As a social etiquette consultant thanks for taking time out and making this content. We get to learn from a professional without spending a fortune. Nothing can be more blissful than that. Your efforts are highly appreciated, Ma’am 😊
Useful advices, beautiful shoes! 👠
You are such an inspiration 😍 thank you for your videos ❤️
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for talking about taking off /keeping on shoes when walking into someone's home. It is a personal pet peeve of mine when people who come to my home do not take off their shoes. Even though us the hosts dont have outdoor shoes on in our home. Can you let me know how to ask someone to take off their shoes when entering my home without making them feel unwelcome or offended.
Why not have a small sign that simply says "please remove your shoes" I think it helps if you have shoe storage either outside the entrance or right by the entrance way in the inside of your home, people will see the shoes and know you obviously remove them before entering
In relation to the shoe tips, I was wondering if you could also provide some advice on the appropriate stockings choices for various formal/semi-formal occasions. TY!
Noted ☺️
@@JamilaMusayeva Thanks a lot! Awesome videos :)
Wonderful video. I agree, neutrals are the best way to go for mostly everything.
lisa thibodeau 😊😊
I am a shoes person and you are right we should wear a particular pair of shoes according to the occasion. This is so informative and interesting topic.
You are welcome!
I came across this channel by chance, I am pleasantly surprised by how detailed and elegant you are
Hi Jamila
I love all your videos, lots of love from African
I used to have a pair of black leather ankle boots and yes, I wore them with everything! They wore out after a couple year, but I'm hoping to find another pair I like as well.
