I always watch your video Monday 5:30 in the morning ing, having coffee before I go to work at 6. What a lovely video, I’m not into French style but always look forward to your videos and find them very inspiring ❤❤❤
Hi Ellie, this is so lovely to hear, thank you so much 🙏 💗 😊 I'm wishing you a wonderful day ahead and all the best for the week ahead. You put a big smile on my face so thanks to you 😘❤️🥰
Wonderful personal style change ideas. One thing I did 3 years ago was stop colouring my hair as it always came up a yellow blonde and who knew after doing is for so many years that my actual hair is ash blonde an as older I stopped wearing so much makeup just foundation, a skin moisturizer and a Channel lipstick, no eye makeup . I too wear neutrals. I just found your vlogs and have watched a few this evening. Love them. What type of work lead you to moved to Paris? Have subscribed. Enjoy your soft spoken views.
Definitely, a cashmere or all-wool coat is the only way to go for cold weather. We don’t get that arctic cold, here in San Francisco, that requires a Canadian-weight down puffer, but a good wool coat is perfect. I love a lined wool or cashmere coat, especially. A lining really helps cut the cold wind and makes the coat so much easier to don and doff. I’m allergic to synthetics and it’s really difficult to them with find non-poly linings, but a few good brands do offer breathable, plant-fiber based, viscose/rayon ones. That’s why I buy most of mine from Banana Republic (some are only 75% wool, though, about the minimum that works). I also like a coat that fastens all the way up the front, the open neckline and chest areas areas where I feel the cold first. Scarves help, but not as much as tightly-woven, lined wools.
Such amazing discoveries You made about the "Paris - French girl style" - also compared to Australia and GB/ and how You did it before. Amazing changes. I think, I learnt something. Thank You; have a wonderful new week ❤
Hi Lauren, I've come across your videos recently and I am really enjoying them. I'm also from Sydney, Australia. I'm studying French literature at university, and 😊 hoping to visit Paris sometime next year. Since studying this year and watching your videos I have found my style is also changing. I've also discovered Sézane and I love all of my purchases.😊
Hi Nessa, lovely to hear from you and also to meet another Sydney-sider! That's wonderful you're studying French lit 😍 Which is your favourite author or book?! Sezane is such a great brand and very much loved by locals here, so happy you discovered their range and that you're loving their pieces!
@@LaurenGraceHarding Oh, let me think! I like Gustave Flaubert, Paul Verlaine in particular because I also study classical music and some French composers I have studied (Debussy) set Verlaine's poems to music. I can't wait to visit Paris ♥️
Thanks for sharing! Love your videos. Living in a warm climate I still have in me to wear clothes based on seasons. We do get cold weather sometimes but is not like living in four seasons environment.
Thanks so much Silvia, appreciate your thoughts and support ❤ You're lucky to live in a warm climate - less clothes for winter needed meaning less money spent! 😉 and more sunshine is always great 🌞
The color palette in Paris is like the architecture! Yr right!! Never thought of that ! Probably true of other cities too! Here in California its every color and athleisure lol 🏖 what is yr job in Paris?
I loved this video! You always make such lovely content and I’m so glad I found your channel. You’re someone I’d love to be friends with ❤ Re fashion, do you see many French women wearing trench coats? Also, I’ve heard there’s great pre loved Burberry shopping in Paris, is this true in your experience? I just got a new one and would love your thoughts on styling! (If you have a video already on this and I missed it, point me there of course 😊) Edited for grammar haha
Hi there, thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the content ❤ Yes absolutely locals here adore Trench coats, they're everywhere especially during autumn and spring 🌼 I haven't sought out any pre-loved Burberry shopping in Paris to be honest however if I come across anything I'll let you know! Congrats on your new trench, which style and colour did you get? One of those from Burberry is on my all-time wish-list 😍
Great video, I never knew Paris colors were neutral and it makes sense given its natural art and composition. I have to think what color nyc it’s all over the place next to the traffic, subways and hot dog smells😅. Btw you right about Paris being walkable it’s capital cousin Washington DC is the same in that aspect of walkable with metro. I was there for a county fair in Maryland where outside of that you need a local bus that get there. Otherwise it was fun. 🎉once again congrats on 1 million total views and well we are getting close to 10k it’s hard for smaller channel to get there but it’s coming. Also great ad 😅, hope on of many that I hope it can bring more oppertunties. I welcome ads as long it’s not some mobile game, questionable product and gambling on sports which I’m used seeing from American side of RUclips. Take care Lauren
Thanks Irvin, yes there's definitely alot of neutrals here in Paris at least compared to Sydney 🖤🩶💙🤎🧡🤍 would NYC be black but then also all colours?! 🎨 Thanks for the congrats, I appreciate your support and encouragement and also for you and everyone else who stuck around for that year and a half when I didn't publish anything here 🙏 Hope you're keeping well and enjoying your weekend 😘
@@LaurenGraceHarding NYC it’s like all the colors because it’s very much diverse from different communities styles and looks. It’s a mish mash of colors that one bourough (basically a county) is different to another. It’s very tough to gage lmao.
Like the French, I like minimal makeup, a simple, natural hairstyle and no fake tan. I always have loved this natural look. I usually just wear sunscreen and lip-balm, and sometimes add blush and a tinted lipstick. I let my wavy hair dry naturally and do nothing else to it. I really dislike fake tan, I think it never looks natural and usually looks bizarre. I can always immediately tell if someone is wearing it, it never seems to match anyone’s coloring and often makes skin look dirty, rather than tanned. I don’t know why so many UK and Australian women feel they must wear it. We don’t, here in San Francisco. I am very pale, and as much as I would love to have that beautiful cafe au lait skin tone, it just isn’t going to happen. I don’t feel anyone should have to change or apologize for their skin tone, hair texture or any other inherited characteristics, it’s not like we can help them. We might as well love them❤
Hi Kimberly, hope you've been well and thanks for sharing your perspective! About fake tan, I think it can look nice depending upon the formulation and the amount applied. I personally feel more confident with a bit of colour during the summertime and support anyone doing what works for them if it makes them feel happy and confident 😉
Fake tan? Is that big in Australia? Here in the us midwest, i know less than 5 women who use it here. I look at my past and cringe! I think your humility and willingness to try new things and learn from other women is lovely.
Hi Jessica, from what I've experienced, it's used often in the coastal cities such as Sydney, Brisbane... a quick google of fake tan australian made shows a number of different Australian fake tan brands - Bondi Sands is our most well known brand of fake tan, so I'd say it is quite popular in Oz. It's interesting that in your experience it's not widely used in the mid-west - I wonder if that would be different on the west coast, for instance in LA? I'm glad I'm not the only one that has a few cringe moments in their past 😉 Thank you so much!
Hi. I liked this video as it’s good to hear from your perspective how things have changed for you. One thing you didn’t mention is the French love of lingerie. Has that changed you or have you indulged in that area. Traditionally French women always wore beautiful lingerie to give them confidence. Is that still the case?😘
Hi Laura, thank you so much! Ah that's a very good point 😉 Being so personal and invisible, it's hard for me to comment on to be honest 😉 I've always loved beautiful lingerie so that definitely hasn't changed since being here ❤️ I was in Le Bon Marche a few days ago and looked at a few pieces as I need a refresh so looking forward to that 🛍 Hope you're having a lovely weekend 😘
@@LaurenGraceHarding hi. Yes thank you I am and I hope you are too. Maybe you could do a video sharing what you purchased. It would be interesting to compare what you can get in France in comparison to the uk. Take care😘
Hi Mansoor, no need to apologise at all, I'm sorry to hear you haven't been well. Take care of yourself and rest, keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery ❤🙏
I actually have 501's but will also continue to wear my skinnies as long as I want to 😉 I don't follow trends, I like to wear what I personally feel great in!

Well done Lauren , keep it simple , you don’t need all that as your perfect 😍

I think it is Similar to my Style but from time to time i love wearing colors too
Hi Julia, colours look wonderful on you! Thanks for sharing ❤
@@LaurenGraceHarding ❤️
Lovely video and great content 😊
Thanks so much lovely! ❤
Great video! Our climate in the southwest corner of Germany is quite similar although Paris may be a couple of degrees warmer.
Thanks so much, Linda ❤️ I must return to see more of Germany 🇩🇪

Most of whole world is shifting to tennis shoes! It's just SOO practical
Hey Lauren, I’m curious as to why you don’t wear your Chloé bags anymore.
Hi Lidia! it's a very good question, there might be one or two reasons - it might be a reaction to the move to France possibly!

Please consider wearing you untamed, wavy hear as well as colorfull outfits as some of the dresses you wore in Nice.
