Alyssa - Merci beaucoup for including pictures of more voluptuous women and how they’re wearing French style. As a size 16, 50 year old, I appreciated this!
@@AlyssaBeltempo Yes me too!!! On one of your fashion snapshots I discovered a new-to-me French company (almé paris) that actually makes US size 16! Shocker - still reeling - I didn't think there was such a thing as size 16 in France but there ya go! Loved every second of this video - soooo much useful and fun info (and I'm sitting here just so happy that all of my favorite youtubers/instagramers/influencers are converging - Alyssa, Audrey, Justine, The Garment - I feel like a proud mama, LOL! And then there was the mic drop moment - you'll wear your blazer "like a normal human". BOOM. 🤣
DuvaLH3 Do you know any human being without colour?? Give me an example of a woman or a men with no colour please... BTW Less CNN is good for all of us. Cheers
Thank you for showing diversity in terms of your images. As an African American woman it's always inspiring to see images of women that look like me :)
I couldn’t help smiling when you said you don’t know how anyone gets anything done with a blazer draped over your shoulders. My sentiments exactly 😅. It conjures up memories from childhood when people wore cardigans and jackets draped over shoulders and they even had a jewellery kind of clasp with clips that you clipped in front so it wouldn’t slip off. ( I’m in my 60’s so that’s forever ago).
It's mind boggling that anyone would give you a thumbs down!! You are MY FAVORITE youtuber and your skill and talent grows with each video! I love your content, editing style, how you talk through your thought processes with us, humor...everything! Sundays are for Alyssa!
Alyssa, you did such an amazing job with all aspects of your French Style video! I love how you put your “closet” pieces together, the whole process was easy to follow, then you ended it with a beautiful French Style outfit that looked gorgeous on you! Thank you for telling us about the other channels, not many do that and usually they just say, “look at the description below”, you on the other hand, told us why they were good channels and why you follow the actual people and why we might want to take our time to visit and maybe stay, very cool! I love that you always teach the ones that don’t know about the importance of sustainable fashion and what that even means and reinforce the way of life that people have already chosen with it! That leads me to another couple of well deserved compliments, you are a GREAT “true” teacher, one that is also constantly learning and obviously loves to learn and teach, you’re also an amazing stylist and most importantly, I don’t really know you, but it’s not difficult to surmise that you are an amazing woman altogether, an awesome example to us all! So with that said, thank you for all the effort, talent and heart that you put into your channel👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼! I wish you so so much success and thank you for the fun, important and educational ride with you! ❤️Kathy
Aw Kathy wow this was such a lovely comment to read and I really appreciate the time you took and your wonderful feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video xox thank you for watching and have a great week! xo
Bonjour Alyssa,un grand oui pour une troisième partie.Je te suis depuis que je t'ai découverte car ta philosophie de consommatrice me plait beaucoup,quelle bonne idée "d'acheter "dans notre propre garde-robe!Tes vidéos sont d'une grande aide.Bisous 😘
Aw wow tellement contente que tu aime mes vidéos encore. C'est pour ça que j'ai commencé RUclips - pour réduire notre consommation a travers une philosophie fun! Merci pour l'encouragement!
Never long enough for my liking. I too watch Audrey Coyne. You have both helped me rethink my wardrobe, and reduce the number of items I have.....that I never wear. Thanks for being Canadian too!
Bonjour. Oui, part 3, 4, 5 ect next. Living across the pond from France I don't think that a lot of women here suit horizontal stripes. But they certainly look very chic on slimmer bodies. You did a great job re-creating the outfit. Love it and it suits you. Merci.
Never before in my life have I felt inspired by French girl style. But now something has happened, and I feel quite curious about it. The way you descriped it, made it sound that French girl style doesn't need to exclude personality and be über feminine and somehow fancy (I know that French girl style isn't meant to be that fancy, but for someone like me, it's still too fancy). You made it sound like torn boyfriend jeans could be worn in a French girl way, which makes it for me actually quite intriquing. Maybe I could give it a try. Thank you! As I have mentioned before, I love it that you seem nowadays more relaxed, confident and yourself in your videos, and we can see your personality and sence of humour more and more. Keep it coming and I'm eagerly waiting for the part III. :)
Aw wow thank you so much for this thoughtful and kind comment Jaana 🥰 I so appreciate you watching ❤️ i hope you enjoy exploring french girl style !! xo
I love Sundays. I watch your videos while drinking my coffee. What a great start to my day. Also, I follow both Justine and Audrey. Anticipating part 3. Thanks for including a curvy model.
What a perfect video! I have spent the day watching it...savoring it....exploring the various links. What a treasure box of fabulousness!!!! We are having a Spring blizzard in Chicago...it has been snowing all day long. This video was such a gift for such a day. I would pause in between sections then do some housework or call in on mom, then I would return with something delectable to eat and a cup of tea to watch a little more. I am following a couple of your recommendations on IG. Such incredibly stylish women! I looked at all the ESHOPS....I actually ordered the cream silk satin skirt on ETSY....I love Etsy and I believe in supporting artisans. A snowy day is a good time for such discoveries and self-nurturing...especially when it comes in the middle of Spring. I have been looking for a white/cream satin skirt, but the only ones I could find were at places like TOPSHOP and Zara. I have fast fashion pieces, but if there is a sustainable choice...I will choose sustainable. I love satin skirts and slip dresses. They seem to slip into my wardrobe without making too many demands. I just keep them together and fly through the colors when I am creating an outfit. I do not wear flats, but I have a pair of Everlane day shoes in a soft bone leather from Italy. It is shaped like a ballet shoe...but has a black 2 inch chunky heel. I plan on getting a pair in black for traveling. I do not have a blazer like yours. I do have a black linen one from the late 1980/1990s I purchased it at Mark Shale when it was still in business. It has a boxy shape. I have a tuxedo jacket from years ago....in black...silky and form fitting shape.....wrong silhouette...so I will not use it. A black leather Moto jacket? Well. It would give the look edge and a touch of the masculine element that is missing in my shoes. Well YOU CERTAINLY MASTERED THE LOOK. Your jacket is GORGEOUS as you are in it. This video was an all day long dessert....what a treat! KEEP THESE LONG VIDEOS COMING..THEY ARE OUTSTANDING
I also want to mention how you really engage your viewers with humor, sincerity, and warmth. Your eye contact and smile...just invited us to sit down, pour a cup of tea, and sit with you for awhile. I feel as if you are in the room with me.
Ahh Lisa!! Sorry It took long for me to get back to you on this comment! I loved reading your recreation and I love what you said about those easy slip skirt type pieces not making too many demands on your wardrobe - so true! Thank you again for the encouragement on the long video it is truly heartening (esp as I worry about being too wordy) so thank you as always for the kind and thoughtful feedback. So grateful to be part of your Sunday routine which sounds lovely!! I think we had the same spring Blizzard lol thank you for watching and wishing you a wonderful weekend xo
Thank you so much for including examples of ethnically diversity among french women, like a black and asian blogger. So often French style video will only show a certain type of french girl stereotype and it’s hard to connect with the tips - you however did wonderfully! For future video series, I would love to see your opinions on other countries’ styles as well!
I just want to thank you for the diverse girls you used as examples in this video. I love french style and I've been trying to learn more about it, but examples online are usually always the same body type, skin color, etc. I really appreciate that you gave us information, resources, but were inclusive in your approach, too. Great video!!
Thank you Esetefania, it was a viewer who actually brought it up in the last video and thought it was such a great point and should be looked into, so i will be including more diverse examples whenever I can :) Thanks so much for the comment and for watching! xx
I really love how you almost always have a cuppa during your vlog posts. It makes me feel so relaxed and welcome to your channel - but your warm personality does that anyway. You're so inclusive - sometimes I just watch you to relax if I'm taking a break from studying or something. (I really love most of the music you use too)
Aw wow Susie it means so much to be included in parts of your day. I'm so grateful that you take the time to watch and comment as it really means a lot :)
Love this longer video! You nailed the inspiration outfit. Very nice look indeed. Yes to part 3 and more. Color perhaps as a topic. Marie-Anne Lecoeur is another French inspiration and what I learned from her is to search out pieces with detailing that sets a basic up a notch.
Yes please to part three. I am a spa therapist and we use the gorgeous Caudalie products at our spa. Mathilde Thomas is a very inspiring women in business and environmental concerns and has excellent taste so love her products. I have gravitated French girl style for at lease twenty five years and sometimes indulge in fast fashion ( indulge is really the wrong word for this!) but always regret it, so watching these videos really help me keep on track.
wow Andrea, thanks for sharing your background, I hope you like part three - here it is: ruclips.net/video/_xATb3Y5oZw/видео.html I'm so glad you liked these videos :) Thanks for watching and sharing!
You would blend in so well in France Alyssa-you're style is so elegant! Your signature look is definitely your button up white crisp shirt😊. My heart is breaking with the fire happening in France ❤
Slowly, I have fallen in love with your channel! Your vast knowledge and stylish and ethical applications have given me the inspiration to see fashion in a whole new way. Merci beaucoup!
I love this video. One of my favorite RUclipsrs as well is Daria Andronescu who makes what she calls a "Wonder Wardrobe". Her videos are very interesting informative and inspirational. I believe she is Russian living in Paris. She uses unique pieces often from sustainable and ethical brands as well. I believe Audrey is also a fan.
Big Hugs....I am loving this series. Given your proximity to Quebec, you are the perfect lady to take on the French Chic flare with your lovely subscriber...as for Audrey Coyne and Justine LeConte...they are part of my 'loves' as are you - I have been following them both for a long time....adore them......just love watching you beautiful young women take on the world and make it a better place with your style, passion, beauty, dedication and commitment to slow fashion without compromise.....as a mother of a beautiful daughter and grandmother, I am thrilled to watch you blossom, grow and become....it is a real treat for me, and I can assure you my confidence level in the future is made so much more comfortable with you three in it........HUGS
aw thank you Dina for such a kind comment and words of praise. I'm honoured to be in such good company with Justine and Audrey! Thank you again for supporting and watching, it means so much:) xox
You never disappoint...love the shop your closet! Another wonderful video...by the way, I purchased a vintage diamond watch in white gold a little over a year ago and have made that my everyday classic style💚
I am still here, and I enjoyed this video so much that I subscribed. Your personal interpretation of the french outfit was a winner, you looked effortlessly elegant. 👌🙋♂️
yay! Glad you liked it! I did this scarf video a little while ago with different scarf styles - I hope it helps! ruclips.net/video/xF1ERm_Ngs4/видео.html
Nice! Let the part 3 comes. My husband and I are flying in the last week of june to Barcelona for we can take our cruise for a week then we are flying to Paris for 5 days so these couples videos are helping me to visualize my packing, but if you touch more about what to pack or outfits that can be use from day to night without required to go to the hotel to change for a nice dinner. Thanks.
I'll always still be here when you post, Alyssa! Great job as usual, very informative, I have enjoyed learning about French fashion, you always teach me new things. And I love the same youtubers you mentioned too! Today's recreated outfit turned out beautifully and I really do think you will wear it this season.
I loved the content of this video, the way it was presented by explaining/reviewing french essentials, blogger, then your interpretation. Lastly, your video are never too long. I always look forward to Sundays. À bientôt!
Hello Alyssa! My mom and I watch your channel from just outside Toronto! We love your channel and your amazing style. More French videos please😍 Keep up the brilliant work! !
I think I Loved your look Better, your shoes with just a little heal just took it to the next level of elegance for day or night, Can’t wait for part 3, how nice to wake up on a Monday morning and watch your video with my morning coffee...So Glad I Found You, you’ve changed my way of shopping my closet Very Much....Thank You For Your Time And Effort....Much Love 💖🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
AMAZING to hear! Love reading that you've changed your way of shopping your closet, it's a big part of why I started the channel:) Hugs from Canada and so happy to be part of your Monday routine! xx
Oui! Oui! Thanks for giving us the French Connection. Tee Hee Their basic style is so classic. It was great that you included some example on topic with ladies with reality figure in their Instagram photos. Thanks for sharing and continued blessing in 2019.
Thank you for this wonderful video, Alyssa! I would also add *Marie-Anne Lecoeur* to the list of lovely RUclipsrs talking all about French style. She is a French woman living in Normandy and has hundreds of videos about French chic style. She herself is almost 60, and her audience is more the 50+ crowd, but I find her French style lessons to be relevant for all ages. I also find it refreshing to learn from an older, wiser woman.
More of the same please!! I’d love to take each French Style Essential piece and wear it different ways WITH STYLE EXAMPLES. Thank you for helping us shop our own brimming closets that need to get pared down.
I love how you break it down in simple real ways to elevate any style so us regular humans can wear it better! I just admire your sense of style and keeping it all minimal! ❤ u
I enjoyed this video Alyssa! I laughed so hard at the end when you said you don't know how anyone gets anything done wearing a blazer thrown over their shoulders! OMG, SO FUNNY! I love the look and chic-ness of that, but who really walks around like that all day without it falling off?! Like reaching for something super high on a shelf when grocery shopping? Can you imagine?
I KNOW!! I'm convinced all those stylish girls have tiny fashion gnomes that live on their shoulders to prevent them from falling off lol thanks so much for watching and hope you're having a great week xo
Yep, I've pretty much "curated" my RUclips clothing channels down to you, Justine and Audrey. I'll occasionally visit some of the others that I found on the way, but then they'll recommend something that makes me question their judgment (terrible proportions, etc.) and I go back to you three. I think that turned-back cuff on the blazer, to show the lining, is also an important part of her styling. I'm glad you showed that in your fabulous take on the look. And THANK YOU for saying out-loud that though the blazer-as-cape looks great, how does anyone actually function wearing it that way (except, perhaps, standing around at a party drinking but not eating anything, which could be dangerous).
Aw wow I am in good RUclips company!! Thanks so much for including me in your "curation" :) and YES - the turned up cuffs was big and I totally forgot to mention - thank you for pointing it out! And watching xx
The coat as a cape I struggle with too. Even though my shoulders are apointy and wider I would be scared I would somehow shrug out of my coat on accident
Loved the look that you nailed at the end. And it really brought out your hair. And the purse works well...it blends in. I like your t shirt better as it flatters most of us more than the boy neckline.
Une autre vidéo très utile! Merci Alyssa! Thank you for including Instagramers who add edge to their French style. I am all about the edge. Je te souhaites une belle semaine!
Hi Jeannette! I'm so glad you liked it and yes, thought of you with some of those accounts! Hope you are having a wonderful week and thank you for watching xo
I first started following Justine and then your site was suggested. She is THE BEST. Audrey is also wonderful and incredibly down to earth and practical while being tres chic
Yes, please, part 3 for beauty (makeup, hair & nails). Thank you also for including photos of women of all sizes and ethnicities. Great info. New subscriber here!
Alyssa: “omg this might be one of my longest videos yet” Me: omg this is the BEST video on the internet. You’ve literally covered everything I’ve been looking for ♥️
You are so amazing....I love to see you re-create a style. I have learned so much from you regarding the elements to look for and how to capture the look without things having to be the same color or exactly alike. Thank you again for another great video.
Thank you Geraldine, I'm glad you liked it:) It was brought up to me by another viewer and I will definitely be including diverse models whenever I can! Thank you for watching! xx
Really enjoyed your videos. As an American expat in Paris, your points definitely resonated. I know they are over-hyped but Sézane is also one of my favorite French sustainable brands. Thanks again for the great video and look forward to part 3.
So glad you liked it! From a pro! And yes I like Sézanne style but couldn't get enough info on their supply chain to confirm any sustainable or ethical practices - if you've got a source of knowledge would you mind sharing? I really love their product but wasn't sure 🧐
The Sézane Engagée section of their website provides more details on their sustainability and even highlights the factories with which they work. It highlights the working conditions and worker benefits at each site. They also have a great program in which they collect and recycle old garments, doesn’t have to just be old Sézane pieces. They are re-sold or donated on your behalf and the funds go to supporting their charitable causes.
YES YES YES for part 3 ! Loved this one too ... no it was not too long ! Funny because I do follow the 2 you tubers you mentioned, and I totally agree with your choices of brands and of instagramers ( although I must say that I am not on Instagram, so I have little knowledge of it ). And the outfit you reproduced was great, it is a way I would definitely dress in late spring or beginning of summer here in Paris. Thank you for mentioning me again, I did so little 😉 Looking forward to watching part 3, and then ... the Italian one 👍🏻 😊 Congrats Alyssa, you are SO talented !
Yay!! I'm so glad you're up for a part 3 - I may need your help again as makeup and hair are not my forte! Thank you so much Véronique and yes to part three and Italian style! xx
Alyssa! 29,801 subscribers ... whoa...this is great! 👍 more and more people are cluing in to your amazing talent and creativity and joyful presence. I think it might be time for another cameo from your dad when you hit 30,000. Tell him his fans are missing him 😎 You smashed the look. Have a beautiful week, and it's an absolute yes to part 3. Would love to hear about French girl essential hair care tips if your collaborator can briefly mention it. Thanks!
Hi Natalya!! Thank you so much for the encouragement as always! Haha I'll let my dad know about the cameo idea! Haha he'll love it ... So glad you're interested in a part 3 :) have a wonderful week!! xox
I find trying to match these outfits so fascinating. And like you say, it is not exactly about matching it in every aspect, but also trying to catch the mood and vibe of the outfit even if we use different items or spread the colors in a different way. One outfit you did, had a red purse, but I will use a red fedora, for my one touch of red. I tried it and I liked it!!
I love L'Envers because I'm not looking at only 20 something models! It's hard to envision how something will look on your late 40s self when you are looking at ladies in late teens to 20s. Love Love Love!
Bravo Alyssa - i love this series of your vids!! so many great tips and samples and thanks for the mentions of the ethical french style brands. I follow Justine as well so was great to hear you mention her here. Your recreation look was bang on - well done!!! More please!
I’ve been subscribed to Audrey Coyle for a good while, the minute I started watching my first video of yours I thought of her style. She is a favorite and I see loads of videos on your channel that I want to carve out time to delve deeper into your channel content!
I was hoping you would choose the skirt/blazer outfit to replicate. Beautifully done too!I'm an Audrey Coyne & Justine Leconte fan too so I was glad you mentioned them. This was very good Alyssa!
Probably one of your best videos. Then again, I love them all. I've tried as I might, but I've accepted that a blazer and white button up don't look good on me and aren't my style. Plus they are not fashion staples where I live. Thanks for the "permission" to find what works for me. Love love the recommendations for ethical French brands!! Count me in for video #3 in the series. Cheerio!
Ciao bella! Thanks for the great links and reviews. I have been watching Justine Leconte for quite a while before I found you. I love her advice but your clothing style is more in tune with my own. And definitely yours is my favorite North American fashion style channel.
Great inspiration as always, thank you! It was by no means too long - you keep it interesting from start to finish - and you nailed the elborn_doris look, it was perfect. A jacket draped over the shoulders might not be good for running errands but it feels very chic if you're just out for a walk or in the evening when it's not too cold.

Aw well I'm so honoured to be in such good company! Thanks for watching 🥰

Adore Justine! She is perfection. No fast fashion. Loving your channel as well.
YES! Such sound advice and style. Thanks for watching!
I really love how you almost always have a cuppa during your vlog posts. It makes me feel so relaxed and welcome to your channel - but your warm personality does that anyway. You're so inclusive - sometimes I just watch you to relax if I'm taking a break from studying or something. (I really love most of the music you use too)
Aw wow Susie it means so much to be included in parts of your day. I'm so grateful that you take the time to watch and comment as it really means a lot :)
You are amazing!! I’ve never seen such a creative channel on RUclips before !! Very inspiring!!
Aw thank you that means so much I really appreciate you watching! xx
More, more, more!!! 💃
Love to see you recreate one of Birkin, Bardot and Karina outfit out of your closet...
Oh great ideas!! Thank you so much for that and for watching! xx
Stella Skopal I agree with the Birkin style idea. Both she and Alyssa have the same body type.
@@darnelleechols8556 Bardot.... and her love of animals is my favorite
Love this longer video! You nailed the inspiration outfit. Very nice look indeed. Yes to part 3 and more. Color perhaps as a topic. Marie-Anne Lecoeur is another French inspiration and what I learned from her is to search out pieces with detailing that sets a basic up a notch.
yes! I love that idea, and I'll definitely look up Marie-Anne :) Thank you for watching! xx
I watch Marie-Anne Lecoeur also!
I like Marie-Anne too. She recently said that French women prefer style over fashion.
I love the "wearing the blazer like a normal human being" comment. So true 😂🤣 Great content and fantastic advice, as always!
Hahaha couldn't help it! Thanks for watching! 🥰
Yes please to part three. I am a spa therapist and we use the gorgeous Caudalie products at our spa. Mathilde Thomas is a very inspiring women in business and environmental concerns and has excellent taste so love her products. I have gravitated French girl style for at lease twenty five years and sometimes indulge in fast fashion ( indulge is really the wrong word for this!) but always regret it, so watching these videos really help me keep on track.
wow Andrea, thanks for sharing your background, I hope you like part three - here it is: ruclips.net/video/_xATb3Y5oZw/видео.html I'm so glad you liked these videos :) Thanks for watching and sharing!
You would blend in so well in France Alyssa-you're style is so elegant! Your signature look is definitely your button up white crisp shirt😊. My heart is breaking with the fire happening in France ❤
that is such a wonderful compliment thank you! And yes, the Notre Dame fire has been heartbreaking to hear about.
Slowly, I have fallen in love with your channel! Your vast knowledge and stylish and ethical applications have given me the inspiration to see fashion in a whole new way. Merci beaucoup!
oh wow this is such a kind compliment thank you so much for watching!
I love this video. One of my favorite RUclipsrs as well is Daria Andronescu who makes what she calls a "Wonder Wardrobe". Her videos are very interesting informative and inspirational. I believe she is Russian living in Paris. She uses unique pieces often from sustainable and ethical brands as well. I believe Audrey is also a fan.
Oh yes I have seen Daria's channel! Great suggestion thank you for that!
Big Hugs....I am loving this series. Given your proximity to Quebec, you are the perfect lady to take on the French Chic flare with your lovely subscriber...as for Audrey Coyne and Justine LeConte...they are part of my 'loves' as are you - I have been following them both for a long time....adore them......just love watching you beautiful young women take on the world and make it a better place with your style, passion, beauty, dedication and commitment to slow fashion without compromise.....as a mother of a beautiful daughter and grandmother, I am thrilled to watch you blossom, grow and become....it is a real treat for me, and I can assure you my confidence level in the future is made so much more comfortable with you three in it........HUGS
aw thank you Dina for such a kind comment and words of praise. I'm honoured to be in such good company with Justine and Audrey! Thank you again for supporting and watching, it means so much:) xox
Home run, Alyssa! Please .... part 3 (maybe 4) for the win!
Thanks for watching Diana! I think it will simply become a regular series! xx
I love the addition of metallics into your interpretation! So pretty!
Yay! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Love this series! Yes, French girl makeup & hair! 💫
Thanks girl! Getting on it! 😘
You never disappoint...love the shop your closet! Another wonderful video...by the way, I purchased a vintage diamond watch in white gold a little over a year ago and have made that my everyday classic style💚
Oh wow sounds gorgeous what a special every day piece! xx
Loved what you threw together. Looks very classy. French women have such a cool vibe!!
Thank you so much for watching!
Alyssa, thank you for your video. Great content, great inspiration! Diverse women looking awesome. I really appreciate the diversity in the examples.
Hi Claudia! Thank you so much for bringing it up - so important and I will definitely be including more diverse examples as often as I can! xx
I am still here, and I enjoyed this video so much that I subscribed. Your personal interpretation of the french outfit was a winner, you looked effortlessly elegant. 👌🙋♂️
oh wow i'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching!
I love love love your longer videos Alyssa! More please. I'm researching tonight.
Part I and II awesome! I’d love to see a part III on makeup. Specifically dewey vs matt look for that 40 something French look. Well done.
Thanks so much for watching! xx
LOVE it! Part 3 is a must. And a video request on ways to tie scarves of different sizes properly.
yay! Glad you liked it! I did this scarf video a little while ago with different scarf styles - I hope it helps! ruclips.net/video/xF1ERm_Ngs4/видео.html
Nice! Let the part 3 comes. My husband and I are flying in the last week of june to Barcelona for we can take our cruise for a week then we are flying to Paris for 5 days so these couples videos are helping me to visualize my packing, but if you touch more about what to pack or outfits that can be use from day to night without required to go to the hotel to change for a nice dinner. Thanks.
ooh how nice - hope you have an awesome holiday. Packing is always a great topic, thanks for the suggestion! xx
Really enjoyed this Sunday's instalment! I love french girl fashion and this video was great. Would really enjoy part 3.
Wonderful! Glad you liked it, will start working on part 3!
Oh lovely, thank you! Looking forward to seeing it 😊
I'll always still be here when you post, Alyssa! Great job as usual, very informative, I have enjoyed learning about French fashion, you always teach me new things. And I love the same youtubers you mentioned too! Today's recreated outfit turned out beautifully and I really do think you will wear it this season.
Thanks Lynne, so fun to be included with those other fabulous RUclipsrs 🥰 thanks for watching!
The videos are never too long when the content is this good! Loved both of these videos and yes to part 3!!!
Ah that is so kind I'm glad you liked it :) thank you!
Amazing content. Alyssa, you did such an excellent job. Please do more of these comprehensive videos. Love your style.
Thanks Catalina, so glad you liked this video:) Thank you so much for watching!
Argh! Full on plutzing when you mentioned Justine Leconte and Audrey Coyne because I am DEVOTED to their channels as well!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Ooh that's so awesome! You've got taste 😘😂
Karin Londt same here!
I loved the content of this video, the way it was presented by explaining/reviewing french essentials, blogger, then your interpretation. Lastly, your video are never too long. I always look forward to Sundays. À bientôt!
Ah that is so great to hear, thank you for watching!
Hello Alyssa!
My mom and I watch your channel from just outside Toronto! We love your channel and your amazing style. More French videos please😍
Keep up the brilliant work! !
aw love hearing that! Thanks so much for watching! xx
Alyssa, great video. Do not worry about the length. You have so much great information to share the time flew by!
Thank you for the feedback Patricia, that's great to hear as I always worry :)
This is one of your best videos hun. Lots of information, very useful.
wow thank you so much!!
You are absolutely creative finding these looks! Nice work. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
I think I Loved your look Better, your shoes with just a little heal just took it to the next level of elegance for day or night, Can’t wait for part 3, how nice to wake up on a Monday morning and watch your video with my morning coffee...So Glad I Found You, you’ve changed my way of shopping my closet Very Much....Thank You For Your Time And Effort....Much Love 💖🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
AMAZING to hear! Love reading that you've changed your way of shopping your closet, it's a big part of why I started the channel:) Hugs from Canada and so happy to be part of your Monday routine! xx
This was such a good video. You absolutely nailed the look at the end. Tres magnifique!
Thank you Charissa! xx
Oui! Oui! Thanks for giving us the French Connection. Tee Hee Their basic style is so classic. It was great that you included some example on topic with ladies with reality figure in their Instagram photos. Thanks for sharing and continued blessing in 2019.
I'm so glad you liked it and the choice of examples :) thank you for watching!
Terrific video as always. Really looking forward to French Girl Style III!
So glad you liked it, thank you for watching Sharon!
Thank you for this wonderful video, Alyssa! I would also add *Marie-Anne Lecoeur* to the list of lovely RUclipsrs talking all about French style. She is a French woman living in Normandy and has hundreds of videos about French chic style. She herself is almost 60, and her audience is more the 50+ crowd, but I find her French style lessons to be relevant for all ages. I also find it refreshing to learn from an older, wiser woman.
More of the same please!! I’d love to take each French Style Essential piece and wear it different ways WITH STYLE EXAMPLES. Thank you for helping us shop our own brimming closets that need to get pared down.
Oh yes love that idea and haven't done one of those in a while. Thanks for watching! xx
Truly loved it! Waiting for the 3rd part on the french girl series😊
Wonderful! Working on it! ❤️
I love how you break it down in simple real ways to elevate any style so us regular humans can wear it better! I just admire your sense of style and keeping it all minimal! ❤ u
Haha thank you so much that is why I started the channel ❤️ thanks for watching!
I enjoyed this video Alyssa! I laughed so hard at the end when you said you don't know how anyone gets anything done wearing a blazer thrown over their shoulders! OMG, SO FUNNY! I love the look and chic-ness of that, but who really walks around like that all day without it falling off?! Like reaching for something super high on a shelf when grocery shopping? Can you imagine?
I KNOW!! I'm convinced all those stylish girls have tiny fashion gnomes that live on their shoulders to prevent them from falling off lol thanks so much for watching and hope you're having a great week xo
Yep, I've pretty much "curated" my RUclips clothing channels down to you, Justine and Audrey. I'll occasionally visit some of the others that I found on the way, but then they'll recommend something that makes me question their judgment (terrible proportions, etc.) and I go back to you three.
I think that turned-back cuff on the blazer, to show the lining, is also an important part of her styling. I'm glad you showed that in your fabulous take on the look. And THANK YOU for saying out-loud that though the blazer-as-cape looks great, how does anyone actually function wearing it that way (except, perhaps, standing around at a party drinking but not eating anything, which could be dangerous).
Aw wow I am in good RUclips company!! Thanks so much for including me in your "curation" :) and YES - the turned up cuffs was big and I totally forgot to mention - thank you for pointing it out! And watching xx
The coat as a cape I struggle with too. Even though my shoulders are apointy and wider I would be scared I would somehow shrug out of my coat on accident
HAHA Totally agree with your last statement about wearing the jacket over your shoulders!
Haha right!? Thanks for watching 🥰
Loved the look that you nailed at the end. And it really brought out your hair. And the purse works well...it blends in. I like your t shirt better as it flatters most of us more than the boy neckline.
Glad you liked it Michelle ❤️❤️
Une autre vidéo très utile! Merci Alyssa! Thank you for including Instagramers who add edge to their French style. I am all about the edge. Je te souhaites une belle semaine!
Hi Jeannette! I'm so glad you liked it and yes, thought of you with some of those accounts! Hope you are having a wonderful week and thank you for watching xo
I first started following Justine and then your site was suggested. She is THE BEST. Audrey is also wonderful and incredibly down to earth and practical while being tres chic
Yes, please, part 3 for beauty (makeup, hair & nails). Thank you also for including photos of women of all sizes and ethnicities. Great info. New subscriber here!
Also, really appreciate the list of ethical brands! 💖
@@Bronwyn-cf3um So glad you liked everything I included in the video! I thought it was all important if a bit long! Thanks for watching xx
Alyssa: “omg this might be one of my longest videos yet”
Me: omg this is the BEST video on the internet. You’ve literally covered everything I’ve been looking for ♥️
You are so amazing....I love to see you re-create a style. I have learned so much from you regarding the elements to look for and how to capture the look without things having to be the same color or exactly alike. Thank you again for another great video.
Oh yay thats what I love to hear! Thanks so much for watching! xox
I love love love your recreations of someone elses outfit! Well done again. Inspiring as every time!
So glad you liked it, thanks for watching Elisabeth! xx
Excellent tips! I vote for a part 3 also.
Awesome! Thanks for watching Sally!
It's pretty cool that you recommended diverse youtubers and instagrammers. It is nice to see different flavors of frenchness! ;-)
Thank you Geraldine, I'm glad you liked it:) It was brought up to me by another viewer and I will definitely be including diverse models whenever I can! Thank you for watching! xx
“....except wearing the blazer like a normal human, because I don’t know how anyone gets anything done [wearing it like this]” - LOL, exactly! 😆
Lol seriously!! Right!? 😘 Thanks for watching !
Fascinated with French chic! Also, would enjoy exploration of Italian girl style - the similarities and differences of these two beautiful styles!!!!
Yes!! I will be working on an Italian style series in the Spring ❤️ thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed your videos. As an American expat in Paris, your points definitely resonated. I know they are over-hyped but Sézane is also one of my favorite French sustainable brands. Thanks again for the great video and look forward to part 3.
So glad you liked it! From a pro! And yes I like Sézanne style but couldn't get enough info on their supply chain to confirm any sustainable or ethical practices - if you've got a source of knowledge would you mind sharing? I really love their product but wasn't sure 🧐
The Sézane Engagée section of their website provides more details on their sustainability and even highlights the factories with which they work. It highlights the working conditions and worker benefits at each site. They also have a great program in which they collect and recycle old garments, doesn’t have to just be old Sézane pieces. They are re-sold or donated on your behalf and the funds go to supporting their charitable causes.
@@jennglion877 wow this is amazing how did I miss this??! Thank you so much for sharing this and letting me know I will definitely take another look!
I love this series! Thank you, Alyssa. I also follow Justine and Audrey. You are all such classy women with understated elegance.
Aw thank you for the kind comment Deborah 🥰
Hi Alyssa, This video was wonderful and your recreation of the outfit was spot on. I'd love to see a part 3. so, Sue
Thank you so much Sue :) Working on a part 3:) xx
Yesssss to part 3!!!! Loved the long video so much awesome info 💕 I’m going to go all French style chic this summer ha!
Haha have fun with it! So chic! Thanks for watching 🥰
😍😍😍loved this long video! I love when you shop your closet and recreate outfits. More please. You should do Italian style, too. 🇮🇹
Haha yes! Got lots of requests for Italian style so working on that one 🥰 thanks for watching!
Omg! I love your channel 💕💕💕💕
So happy I found you. ☺️
yay!! Me too! So glad you like the channel :)
I’m obsessed with your jewelry
Ooh thanks Crystal 😘
Yes to #3! And loved the longer video!
Oh that's awesome to hear thanks for watching Karen!
YES YES YES for part 3 !
Loved this one too ... no it was not too long !
Funny because I do follow the 2 you tubers you mentioned, and I totally agree with your choices of brands and of instagramers ( although I must say that I am not on Instagram, so I have little knowledge of it ). And the outfit you reproduced was great, it is a way I would definitely dress in late spring or beginning of summer here in Paris. Thank you for mentioning me again, I did so little 😉
Looking forward to watching part 3, and then ... the Italian one 👍🏻 😊
Congrats Alyssa, you are SO talented !
Yay!! I'm so glad you're up for a part 3 - I may need your help again as makeup and hair are not my forte! Thank you so much Véronique and yes to part three and Italian style! xx
Alyssa Beltempo of course if I can help, I will ! Ask me questions if you want. 😁
Awesome essential list! Love the outfit you created. Always a delight, love you videos and cannot wait for part 3 😙
So glad you liked it and working on part 3! xx
Alyssa! 29,801 subscribers ... whoa...this is great! 👍 more and more people are cluing in to your amazing talent and creativity and joyful presence. I think it might be time for another cameo from your dad when you hit 30,000. Tell him his fans are missing him 😎 You smashed the look. Have a beautiful week, and it's an absolute yes to part 3. Would love to hear about French girl essential hair care tips if your collaborator can briefly mention it. Thanks!
Hi Natalya!! Thank you so much for the encouragement as always! Haha I'll let my dad know about the cameo idea! Haha he'll love it ... So glad you're interested in a part 3 :) have a wonderful week!! xox
I watch Justine love her & Audrey, her voice is sooo relaxing xx
Haha yes so true! Thanks for watching!
I find trying to match these outfits so fascinating. And like you say, it is not exactly about matching it in every aspect, but also trying to catch the mood and vibe of the outfit even if we use different items or spread the colors in a different way. One outfit you did, had a red purse, but I will use a red fedora, for my one touch of red. I tried it and I liked it!!
Absolutely!! It's about making it your own! Red fedora sounds like so much fun ❤️ thanks for watching!
I love L'Envers because I'm not looking at only 20 something models! It's hard to envision how something will look on your late 40s self when you are looking at ladies in late teens to 20s. Love Love Love!
Absolutely! Glad you liked that pick :) thanks for watching!
Yeeeey! Can’t wait for part 3! You’re the best Alyssa 😘
Oooh so glad you like it! Thanks for watching xo
You inspire me! Love the watch on the sweater look!!!
so kind! And glad you like that little trick! ;) Thanks for watching!
Loved it, thank you for your slow fashion video, cant wait for the # 3!!
So glad you liked it thanks for watching! xx
Great video! You’re so much fun to watch & your tips so useful. 🥰
Wow thank you so much! ❤️
Love the outfit! I'm binge watching your videos at the moment, great way to spend Easter! XX
wow so happy you like them, thanks for watching Gail! Happy Easter!
Bravo Alyssa - i love this series of your vids!! so many great tips and samples and thanks for the mentions of the ethical french style brands. I follow Justine as well so was great to hear you mention her here. Your recreation look was bang on - well done!!! More please!
Thanks so much Heather I'm so ad you liked it and that you're a fan of Justine as well 😍 have a great week!
I’ve been subscribed to Audrey Coyle for a good while, the minute I started watching my first video of yours I thought of her style. She is a favorite and I see loads of videos on your channel that I want to carve out time to delve deeper into your channel content!
Yes! I would love to see part 3!
Awesome thank you for watching Gloria!
I was hoping you would choose the skirt/blazer outfit to replicate. Beautifully done too!I'm an Audrey Coyne & Justine Leconte fan too so I was glad you mentioned them. This was very good Alyssa!
So glad you liked it Jody, love being included with those ladies! xx
@Alyssa Beltempo, part 3 is necessary please!
.. and why do we have to stop at 3??
Haha so glad you think so that ms for watching Rita! Will get on it! ❤️
@@TheDriftwoodlover such a good point!! think I will make this a regular series 🙂
Probably one of your best videos. Then again, I love them all. I've tried as I might, but I've accepted that a blazer and white button up don't look good on me and aren't my style. Plus they are not fashion staples where I live. Thanks for the "permission" to find what works for me. Love love the recommendations for ethical French brands!! Count me in for video #3 in the series. Cheerio!
aw wow thanks so much Ann Marie:) Absolutely, I think there are lots of alternatives that can work and give the same vibe :) Thanks for watching! xx
Tres chic, bravo! Always look forward to your videos, Alyssa.
Merci beaucoup Barb!❤️
Ciao bella! Thanks for the great links and reviews. I have been watching Justine Leconte for quite a while before I found you. I love her advice but your clothing style is more in tune with my own. And definitely yours is my favorite North American fashion style channel.
Thanks so much Jacqueline I'm so glad you're still enjoying the channel ❤️ happy to count myself amongst some of your favourites🥰
Alyssa this video series has been wonderful! Have you considered doing a video on Scandinavian Style?
thank you Melissa! Yes! I love Scandinavian style it was on my list! Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Great inspiration as always, thank you! It was by no means too long - you keep it interesting from start to finish - and you nailed the elborn_doris look, it was perfect. A jacket draped over the shoulders might not be good for running errands but it feels very chic if you're just out for a walk or in the evening when it's not too cold.
Ah I'm so glad you liked it thank you! I find mine falls off no matter what I do! Thanks for watching xx
