I know, right? It's why I like Trinny and her rail of things from 10 or even 20 years ago and how she's styling them. No nice vintage stores near me--I need to plan a trip into L.A. for the weekend. It's hard to buy vintage online when you're short and not super skinny.
Thanks to everyone who watched the Premiere I loved reading your comments! Tune in next week for more of me and RUclips! Same time same place... And the vintage shop is in Notting Hill and called 'One Of A Kind Fashion Archive'
I'm french - and thank you for the interest you have for our culture - but please, english girls and women are so great, much cooler, excentric and free than french ones!! Loooove english styles!! Paris - and I live there - can look so boring cause everybody looks the same, no one takes any "risk" with their style. Embrace your englishness, don't try to look french, you're way cooler!
bbcerise I agree that improvising is “cool”, but not brushing your hair and not ironing your clothes, irrespective of age, is “definitely not cool”. :))))
tbh I've been both to london and to paris and i just love the dark lipstick look on myself, while in london it would be just normal or I'd even get compliments (in the words of the guy who helped me at lush waterloo station, "goth queen"), in Paris I'd get side eye, or confused looks on why i was wearing that look, which is not only sad because parisian won't take risks, but they seemed quite judgemental on you if you just do you
Please, please continue with this series!! I want to see you peek in many French women’s closets. I would like to see a stereotypical small French wardrobe, not like huge wardrobes that fill entire rooms. I like seeing the thought process of picking out outfits as well.
Alexa, your channel is honestly so refreshing and charming. Anytime I watch it, either while getting ready or having a my breakfast or folding laundry, I really feel as though I’m having a great convo with a favorite gal pal who is at the same time much cooler than me but also so humble and sweet and would want to learn all the ways I am cool as well. 😎
Running towards my mid 30's now and I swear by simplicity in both skincare and make-up. Still look alot younger then my friends who experiment with restalin and botox fillers... Age with confidence. Age gives you an advantage and a subtle authority. So nice! Loved this video.
That moment when you’re feeling cool and ready and someone asks “are you feeling ok?”... Been there! ☝🏻 and the fact that Caroline de Maigret has been there too, priceless! Merci cherie! ❤️
I look up to women like Tracee Ellis Ross. She is elegant and dresses "her age" but can pull off wearing a triangle bikini top, high waisted sport pants, and a leather blazer too. Its about having class, wearing clothes that FIT you, and being true to your inner self.
I would say 'learn how to look yourself in the eye' is better advice, but it may not achieve the French chic look, so each to their own. (sorry, don't mean to be salty at you, just that that bit kinda got me in the solar plexus.)
I was really glad to hear her say that, I've always felt I couldn't judge my clothes or hair even properly when looking in the mirror, when looking myself in the eye...I realise now why, and the psychology behind it, and relieved its not just me!
I love the Franglais series! I love how the discussions are focused on developing a personal style that stays with you. I have definitely focused on investing in pieces to stay in my closet long term versus buying more trendy pieces that I end up giving away after a year.
Caroline is responsible for me not being able to grow out my bangs:) every time they get to the past-eyes awkward stage I give up and trip them thinking "whatever, I'll rock one style with bangs forever like Caroline":)
Alexa,please make this a whole series.But like with different influencers from various countries,basically once you think you’re done with exploring french fashion..you take us on a journey to exploring fashion from the UK,Japan,Korea & etc !
I was eying on that orange coat before she grabbed it; it looks so chic! I do prefer and agree that having a statement coat and having something monochrome or complimentary underneath is the way to go. I think having fancy coats are very underrated.
when I was eleven I had a 'crush' on my French teacher Madame Woolcott. When I was seventeen we all adored our French teacher 'Michelle'. I have always absolutely adored all things French. did you make this video just for me?
SVP please please please make more episodes. I have started to live by these Franglais lessons. I lived in Paris for a semester abroad and I could never figure out how French women were so effortlessly cool and stylish and I was bungling my way through Europe trying to emulate it. This has been so educational and entertaining.
I think your channel has one of the most entertainment content on here. I just love all the things you do and the French style stuff, they are all so cool and French. Lol😁 Please continue with the French videos and post as many as possible Lots of love , M
Okay Alexa, you got me. I never ring the alerts bell but I’m doing it now. You & your community are irresistible & need to be in on the real time exchange.
OMG I ADORE Alexa Chung humour. Always something that makes me giggle. Out loud. Many times. Such a treat!!! I loved what I saw and I'd love to see more 🤗
Love Caroline....she's never been more gorgeous...thanks for all the skin and style tips in this gold mine. :) and thanks for the honesty and humility!
So great as always! A few ideas for episodes: going natural with your hair (no more dye), what to pack how to pack for a short trip (7 days) simple accessorize with top five favourites and why! Love you girl! Hugs!!
Caroline is my icon! I am reading her new book now. Because of her, I am not afraid of aging 😺. It's very freeing actually. ❤️ Love to Caroline and Alexa from 🇨🇿🇨🇳
In watching this series the thing I find the most peculiar about her seemingly quintessentially French pals is that they all have moments of intense deep understanding and knowledge but the very next sentence will be something very vain or shallow I don’t know what to make of them
Hi 🥰, I love watching and learning from you. I graduated in 1968, for me Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, were my style icons, and well there was Twiggy and some others. But I’m almost 72, I still love the effortless chic look, but with you the French easy look, especially for me for older women, I just love ❤️. So coming out of the pandemic I’m loving less is more-more than ever. It gets worse, I live in the Land of Excess, Orange County California 😳. It’s not style or classy or confident-everywhere tacky excess people trying to look like each other. I love your program, it’s so much fun 😀. And you and your guests are so open and natural, just lovely 😊. Thank you
I want Alexa's voice. She sounds uber cool without even trying. So entertaining and packed with great tips! Keep them coming with more cool French ladies. Merci!
Alexa, you are such a joy to watch! Very inspiring video. I also really appreciate the fact that I get to see a 30+ woman who is NOT (yet) a mother. Honestly, I think we need to see a lot more of those women represented in mainstream/social media.
More French inspired videos, more Caroline and more on ageing (I had 2 babies within a short time, I’m turning 35 in a month and found my clothes / makeup doesn’t suit me anymore). Thank you, love you xx
I know it's been 3 years since this video has been published but this is probably the 5th time I'm watching it - actually all of the videos in your franglais series. I LOVE this series...it's so refreshing to see videos (well produced videos, I have to add) that focus more on personality, humour, style and the frankness between women. This video, and the series as a whole, is so much more engaging than your typical superficial exchanges of 'what to buy' and 'who to wear'. I really hope you keep making these videos - maybe even branch out to other countries which have different standards and etiquettes on beauty and style. Keep it coming, Alexa. In my books, you are the modern day Jeanne Becker, who is a legend in fashion journalism (well at least in Canada).
I'm guessing most people watching the video were also doing the face massage. My face is tingling and I think it helped my headache! Love the vintage shopping and the tip of styling yourself without your face. We can be so harsh when looking at ourselves in the mirror!
These are all so entertaining, just found these vids. Alexa is so entertaining and such a super quick wit, I hope to see her return to youtube or perhaps a Netflix series.
Their voices are one of the best parts of this video lol so soothing in a sexy kind of way🤓 and loving the fashion tips! I will keep on hoping there will be a Part 2 😝
The Night King yes this is so true!! The whole concept of „anti aging“ is so dumb anyway, it’s a natural process, you can’t stop aging. Besides, it’s not a bad thing, it is a luxury
The more I watch your videos (interviews, documentaries), the more I realize the artist you are and the icon you have become in the world of fashion. It's beyond of your physical beauty, it's how your soul expresses in every design, in every advice. Of course, I read your book "IT" and it was one of the most pleaseant reading experiences ever. ♥️
Caroline AND Alexa both teaching us how to have their style?! Is this a dream? they are literally my style icons I grew up watching their style develop I can't believe this content is free ILY Alexa
Honestly refreshing to see a channel that focuses more on the personal aspect of fashion rather than whats trending nowadays :)
ikko you said it all!
Great comment! :)
Bean Tree right! Her style is so chic and effortless
ikko .l

"It's magnetism, not beauty." Yes!!!!! Just adore you, Alexa!
Bethany Cole Allllllluurrre
Thats pretty profound
Honestly i could watch Alexa Chung open a packet of biscuits and be entertained. I love her.
its true :)
😂😂 she’s truly the best
Yes!
Same
Thanks to everyone who watched the Premiere I loved reading your comments! Tune in next week for more of me and RUclips! Same time same place...
And the vintage shop is in Notting Hill and called 'One Of A Kind Fashion Archive'
That black jacket looks great on you
What store is this in west london?!
@@annebenveniste4211 Its this one :) One of a Kind Fashion Archive.
259 Portobello Rd, Notting Hill
Just found your channel. Love this series!
Merci !! 😊

Oh that is an interesting point of view!
Totally agree (as a born and raised parisian)
bbcerise I agree that improvising is “cool”, but not brushing your hair and not ironing your clothes, irrespective of age, is “definitely not cool”. :))))
aahhh so cute how women of different nationalities appreciate each other’s style :))
tbh I've been both to london and to paris and i just love the dark lipstick look on myself, while in london it would be just normal or I'd even get compliments (in the words of the guy who helped me at lush waterloo station, "goth queen"), in Paris I'd get side eye, or confused looks on why i was wearing that look, which is not only sad because parisian won't take risks, but they seemed quite judgemental on you if you just do you

Rock and roll is clearly an influence. How about a video on fashion and music?
Ps. I adore your wit- 🥰
yes please
I love how rock stars dress but I honestly cant stand the music.
@@dreamsdocometrue33 it's not like all rock music sounds the same.. ^^
@@lala-iy7cj some are worse than others
Yes pleassse
Alexa, your channel is honestly so refreshing and charming.

I got "It" and "How to be Parisian" when I was a teenager. Both books are very special to me so I'm so excited to see this video of you two together!
“She didn’t even french kiss me goodbye” 😂😂 Alexa, I love you my long lost bff
Running towards my mid 30's now and I swear by simplicity in both skincare and make-up. Still look alot younger then my friends who experiment with restalin and botox fillers... Age with confidence. Age gives you an advantage and a subtle authority. So nice! Loved this video.
a subtle authority… that’s an interesting way of looking at aging, and this aspect is very much true!
I do agree, even stopped dying my hear 8 years ago. 56 now👍
"You need to iron ur clothes now, its very annoying"
omg i love herr
Would be DYING to see you make a video with Phoebe Wallerbridge. Your senses of humors could collide so welllll
Yesssssss 👌😎
That moment when you’re feeling cool and ready and someone asks “are you feeling ok?”... Been there! ☝🏻 and the fact that Caroline de Maigret has been there too, priceless! Merci cherie! ❤️
I was born looking exhausted. Nothing much has changed 😁
How gorgeous is that facialist? I love her 😘
she is stunning...
Does anyone know if she has a RUclips channel?
She was so kind to share those amazing secrets!
It feels like she likes herself too
I was thinking the same thing. Her face, hair, style, even her hands...perfection
The perfect and power duo queen Caroline and princess Alexa ♥️♥️♥️ absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to see it.
I love the "How to be French" series! Please do more videos like that.
Please do more videos with Caroline... her sense of humour with combination of yours is fabalous😍
I look up to women like Tracee Ellis Ross. She is elegant and dresses "her age" but can pull off wearing a triangle bikini top, high waisted sport pants, and a leather blazer too. Its about having class, wearing clothes that FIT you, and being true to your inner self.
Yes yes yes yes
Yes! Love Tracee Ellis Ross!
Tracee is amazing! And yes, especially to being true to your inner self!
Tracee has IT
Nothing worse than an older lady dressing as a twenty year old.
Caroline is my favorite. Her elegance, her humor, her books. Oh. Makes me wish to be french
“Don’t look in your eyes you judge jut be a stylist and look from the eyes of face down
Yes super great advice
I would say 'learn how to look yourself in the eye' is better advice, but it may not achieve the French chic look, so each to their own. (sorry, don't mean to be salty at you, just that that bit kinda got me in the solar plexus.)
I was really glad to hear her say that, I've always felt I couldn't judge my clothes or hair even properly when looking in the mirror, when looking myself in the eye...I realise now why, and the psychology behind it, and relieved its not just me!
You two are the best. Please start a YT channel together or move in together (whatever fits you best)
Your comfortability with Caroline is evident. she seems like your cool aunt you see once a year
I LOVE Caroline de Maigret, she's exactly the type of women I aspire to be!
Right! She just radiates "cool"
Better yet - Aspire to be the type of woman YOU ARE! Everyone is different no matter their style - and thank goodness!
I love the Franglais series! I love how the discussions are focused on developing a personal style that stays with you. I have definitely focused on investing in pieces to stay in my closet long term versus buying more trendy pieces that I end up giving away after a year.
Great 🤓 I’ve been doing it all my life and still love every piece I bought years ago. A way to go 😉
I’d love to see you interview Jane Birkin. She is franglais.
They have the same agent in France so it's not totally impossible. ...but I don't think it's Janes' kinda thing !!
I agree, I think she is the original Franglais icon!!!
Me too 😍😍
But she is not Jane Birkin! ;)
Caroline is responsible for me not being able to grow out my bangs:) every time they get to the past-eyes awkward stage I give up and trip them thinking "whatever, I'll rock one style with bangs forever like Caroline":)
Alexa sure knows how to build excitement and suspense!
The facialist needs to start her own ASMR channel.
My thought exactly!
yessss!!! totally
Yes, I Thought she had one.
Facialist hahahhahah i bet gets alot of facials too
Alexa,please make this a whole series.But like with different influencers from various countries,basically once you think you’re done with exploring french fashion..you take us on a journey to exploring fashion from the UK,Japan,Korea & etc !
YES more of this sort of content Alexa. Your channel is RUclips addiction for adults
caroline is the embodiment of class, intellect, wisdom, and authenticity. her honesty and humour are so comforting! she made alexa easier
I was eying on that orange coat before she grabbed it; it looks so chic! I do prefer and agree that having a statement coat and having something monochrome or complimentary underneath is the way to go. I think having fancy coats are very underrated.
yes, more content, I dig the vibe, the style and the frenchness that all the non-french strive for
when I was eleven I had a 'crush' on my French teacher Madame Woolcott. When I was seventeen we all adored our French teacher 'Michelle'. I have always absolutely adored all things French. did you make this video just for me?
Wow the French stylist lady & facialist (and of course Alexa) look stunning, just natural authentic effortless beauty. 👌 That’s what it’s all about! 💓
Love the vibe and coolness of Caroline de Maigret! I can picture her as a shaman High Priestess! Such a goddess!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
SVP please please please make more episodes. I have started to live by these Franglais lessons. I lived in Paris for a semester abroad and I could never figure out how French women were so effortlessly cool and stylish and I was bungling my way through Europe trying to emulate it. This has been so educational and entertaining.
You're seriously one of the best youtubers ever!
Alexa, I'm not over it yet!! Please keep up this series. It is illuminating geting an insight into the French chic mindset.
“Welcome to rush hour in London”
*one car passes by*
😂
love all the French way videos!!! Thanks glad I found you look forward to more french videos and friends merci
I think your channel has one of the most entertainment content on here. I just love all the things you do and the French style stuff, they are all so cool and French. Lol😁
Please continue with the French videos and post as many as possible
Lots of love ,

Caroline is stunning! In appearance and in attitude. She is a walking life manual. And you Alexa are amazing as always.
FIRST !! 😊 What a dynamic duo: Alexa Chung and Caroline De Maigret !! 👍👍 Can't wait !! 😀
I loved this video. I am 60 and the conversation was fun and useful. You two have a great sense of humor!
Okay Alexa, you got me. I never ring the alerts bell but I’m doing it now. You & your community are irresistible & need to be in on the real time exchange.
OMG I ADORE Alexa Chung humour. Always something that makes me giggle. Out loud. Many times. Such a treat!!! I loved what I saw and I'd love to see more 🤗
Yes Alexa!! More of the Franglais episodes!! I’m just obsessed with them. Love your channel. You’re such a style icon xx
Love Caroline....she's never been more gorgeous...thanks for all the skin and style tips in this gold mine. :) and thanks for the honesty and humility!
I was under the impression Caroline was such a snob, but she seems a lot of fun here. Loved this one
So great as always! A few ideas for episodes:
going natural with your hair (no more dye), what to pack
how to pack for a short trip (7 days)
simple accessorize with top five favourites and why!
Love you girl! Hugs!!
“I’m literally Peter-actual-Pan” that’s me. That’s 100% me

Franglais is my favourite
Keep doing what your doing. Learning style and elegance at 55, I need all the help I can get. The laughter is a bonus!!
Please never stop making these. Love them!
I'm guessing most people watching the video were also doing the face massage. My face is tingling and I think it helped my headache! Love the vintage shopping and the tip of styling yourself without your face. We can be so harsh when looking at ourselves in the mirror!
Ahhh I love Caroline she’s so beautiful inside and out
for the record,
I am so not tired of you pursuing the education on how to be more French :)
The face massage: SOOO REFREESSSIINGGG!!!
These videos are pure magic! Seriously my favourite ever! You and Caroline are hilarious together!
I’m approaching 30 this year and this is just what I needed this morning 🙂
These are all so entertaining, just found these vids. Alexa is so entertaining and such a super quick wit, I hope to see her return to youtube or perhaps a Netflix series.
love all the French videos!! especially the clothing ones. i would love to see more in the future❤️❤️❤️
OMG! Caroline De Maigret is so fantastic! Each
phrase literary brilliant!
loving this series! I know she's not french but would be so fun to see you hang out with Kate Moss, go to her wardrobe.
This franglais series is honestly my favourite thing on youtube, please do more episodes of it!
Their voices are one of the best parts of this video lol so soothing in a sexy kind of way🤓 and loving the fashion tips! I will keep on hoping there will be a Part 2 😝
I agree. They don’t have that RUclips ‘vocal fry’ Praise be!
Hi!!!!! Continue this series please ! i absolutely adore it
I would totally wear my collar above the jacket
I’ve just discovered Alexa.. truly, a breath of fresh air! You are sooooo adorable Alexa. Keep the fashion videos coming ☀️.👗👠🌷✨
"your face starts to get crinkled so everything else needs to be ironed." HAHAHA GOTCHA
It's so true though. You need to bring more definition to ur looks as u age
How did I not know Alexa Chung had this series?!
Happy to go down this rabbit hole 💕
im excited to become an older lady. ill be so much smarter and wiser and my wrinkles will be so cute and ill make my man touch them all the time.
this is the cutest thing I’ve read (not ever, but still very sweet)
More of this! Celebrating the ageing process and recognising how fabulous it is at every age. Hurrah!
How about just being utterly grateful that one has had the luxury to age? We need an anti-lookism revolution.
The Night King yes this is so true!! The whole concept of „anti aging“ is so dumb anyway, it’s a natural process, you can’t stop aging. Besides, it’s not a bad thing, it is a luxury
Yes! That's a revolution I could dance to!
i tried, doesnt work. all in for the looks.
Totally agree age the great equaliser your one guarantee in life
I could watch that a thousand times over and never get enough. Love it girl.
I’m love watching you. I’m also trying to be as “French” as possible. Please do one on shoes especially on flats.
The more I watch your videos (interviews, documentaries), the more I realize the artist you are and the icon you have become in the world of fashion. It's beyond of your physical beauty, it's how your soul expresses in every design, in every advice. Of course, I read your book "IT" and it was one of the most pleaseant reading experiences ever. ♥️
Caroline does have that fill the entire room magnetism.
9:12 tres genial Caroline! Thank you! I've been there! and the fact that someone like you feels the same, make me feel not alone.
Yes! Teach me all the French things! 🙌🏻
Caroline AND Alexa both teaching us how to have their style?! Is this a dream? they are literally my style icons I grew up watching their style develop I can't believe this content is free ILY Alexa
I want to learn about COPENHAGEN It Girls!!!
You are such a breath of fresh air for watching you tube videos. I love your franglais series.
Shout out to all the people also sitting in the office at lunch learning to massage their face.
What a fantastic shop! I think having great hair helps with lifting a face. Loved her curtain bangs. Very Brigette B.
Awww, that was great. Three lovely ladies
Caroline De Maigret is my inspiration and has been for several years. She'll always be gorgeous and both of you are beautiful and fun.
Ah yes Caroline
If you'd like to know anything about how to be a French girl, Caroline.
I am so obsessed with all these French videos!
