    I can’t get enough of the French countryside! Of course, the style tips are lovely also. Always!
    For as long as I can remember, I have worn pearl stud earrings also. Im my opinion, if you have or wear no other jewelry, pearls are the quintessential piece to wear. They are elegant, simple, and beautify every other element of a woman and her clothing.
    I do have an Hermès scarf, given to me by my husband one Christmas one year when the theme was India. The print is of bare chested women playing flutes (my instrument-which was the rationale for my husband’s gift) which may prove a bit too risqué in certain towns. So, I am cautious about wearing it unless I am in trendy surroundings or certain cities. However, it is stunning in more ways than one. And, such beautiful silk!
    I have a number of cashmere sweaters in both neutrals and favorite colors. Although black is not my most flattering color, I have a black turtleneck cashmere sweater and a crew neck that I will never part with. They are the epitome of chic, I feel. I wear them with my jeans, black, blue, and white. As well, I pair them with black dress trousers or corduroys. I also have a black pencil skirt to pair them with.
    I do wear red lipstick when wearing black and only in the city during the winter months.
    We don’t really wear much black during the summer months here in the sub-tropics.
    For fragrance, a simple splash of lavender water is enough for me or in cold months I have always loved Joy or Chanel #5, alternating every year or so.

I now have quite a collection and wear one with anything, from t-shirts to dresses. It is the one item that makes me feel like a million bucks, even if most people here in the USA have no idea what it is. Piece of jewelry I always wear: a watch, usually a ladies sporty style.

    Does anyone else just want to tag along on Marie-Anne’s road trips through the French country side??? These videos are delightful, Marie-Anne! I’m not big on the idea of things one has to have, but I liked your sensible, pared-down approach. I have small diamond stud earrings my partner gave me when I was pregnant that are my go-to piece and a gold chain with a heart pendant I’ve had for years. I’m not into silk scarves so much, I find they make me hot and I feel like a flight attendant when I try to wear them. I have two that my grandmother used to wear, I try them out every now and then because I love how they look on other women. As for lipstick, I can’t be bothered, lol! For years I wore a deep red shade from Mac, but the whole rigmarole of the liner and blotting and reapplying every time you have a cup of coffee just wore me down. I pulled out a holiday red lip in 2019 for a work event. It looked great but yah, the rigmarole… lol! Love this video, Marie-Anne!

It always reminds me of this trip of a lifetime and a spray of it transports me back to that wonderful trip. Favourite piece of jewellery, a simple silver bangle bought on the same trip. I also have a beloved Hermes scarf given to me by my sister.

As an American, I appreciate being reminded of those soldiers on this Independence Day. My father landed at Normandy two days after the landing. He said the Army had already built a road up the beach!
    Switching from the serious to the lovely, you've convinced me to find a good coat. I've worn Bulgari's Eau Parfumee daily for years and years-- it's light and green-teaish. Thank you for your lovely excursions and beautiful smile!

    I feel that I've let things slide a .little over the last few weeks, but I'm back on track today. I wore my favourite jeans, breton style t shirt and navy blazer. Also wearing a small gold chain that I love and my favourite perfume, Prada Amber ( Berberrys Her is also nice). Met up with a friend for afternoon tea in her garden (in the rain 🤣🌦☂️). Nice video- spot on!

    Ooh what a beautiful setting for the video!!! My favorite everyday piece of jewelry is a thin white gold unusual-shaped chain bracelet my husband gave me. I don’t have an Hermès scarf (#goals!) but I have a unique cashmere sweater I adore - navy blue with a cream colored stripe down each arm. I have two favorite coats - a camel colored double breasted wool coat, and a black pea coat with a little belt detail in back. In general I vastly prefer winter clothes to summer - this season is so tough for me. 😬 Thanks for a fun video!

      @Marie-Anne Lacoeur. Maybe someday you can take us along on a trip to your favorite perfume boutique. Only the large cities in my country have these boutiques, so the majority of women only see brands sold in big department stores. I’m fascinated by the French history/art of perfume making.

In particular I do place some masculine items within my wardrobe, in particular a few great button down shirts (french cuff of course), and a pair of quality brogues for when I’m not in heels. I have enjoyed your posts “en plein air”, thank you for bringing us to the Normandy shores and recalling our brave soldiers.

    Such a beautiful tour. Thank you. LOVE my pearl studs, also a pair of small 14k hoops that have one pearl on each hoop. Love all my pearl jewelry. Have a lovely wool, nipped in blazer in light peacock blue-green for fall and winter, still need a linen one for spring. Too hot here for a blazer in summer; instead, I wear a cotton navy over- shirt that has roll up, button sleeves. I love kitten heels, which don't make me too tall for my boyfriend, who is not tall, merely wonderful. Love flowing skirts and silk scarves. Candy, by Prada really does well on me. LOVE your channel! You should are so much fun. 🤗

    Thank you for the wonderful tour of Normandie! So beautiful! My mother was a teenager growing up in Paris during the war. The only story she shared from that time period was when my widowed grand-mère returned from the market where there were rumors the Americans had landed in France. To this day I get emotional thinking about what the two of them must have gone through and the hope they must have felt that day. D-Day has always been a very special day in our family. Merci Marie-Anne!

    Lovely video Marie-Anne. I agree with all of your suggestions. I enjoyed riding along with you in the French countryside. I love my cashmere sweaters and have several. Solids mostly in navy, light blue, black, gray, and I have one in an argyle pattern of neutral grays and tans. I also love fine merino wool. As for jewelry I also love pearl studs, pearl dangles, and my diamond stud earrings.

My favorite jewelry is my gold beaded necklace that my grandmother wore as a child. I can still wear it. Heels are Marie Jane's because I hate getting my heel stuck in cracks. Thanks for sharing.

    Does your friend also trace the movements of other Allied soldiers who landed in Normandy on D-Day? (E.g. the British at Gold and Sword Beaches, and the Canadians at Juno Beach)? Many troops of many Allied nations were part of Operation Overlord.

    I love Missoni scarves and collect them. Where I live it gets very cold so a knitted scarf keeps me warm. Missoni uses long strips of color and often a zigzag pattern so I wear them with solid color garments to add some pop. I’m very tall and that’s good because they come very long.

    I love Coco by Chanel. I like it in the winter months, as it has a slightly heavier smell. I love that you like perfume, as now days, most people try to talk you out of it. Of course, being sensitive to others is kind, sometimes you just want a splash for a special evening. When I was last in Paris, my special treat to myself, was an Hermes scarf. It had been a bucket list for years. I love all kinds of scarves. They just dress up everything. Great video!

    Funny, but my favorite perfume is ANGEL by Mugler, too. I use to get the star refilled. I love Chanel Nr. 5, too. My favorite piece of juvellerie us a single gold bracelet, worn by my late mother-in-law allways. She was a Danish lady of style, she wore all great French designers, but H&M as well and items tailored by herself. Yes, I have cashmere sweaters, blazers ect. Good idea with the masculine piece. New to me.
    Great that you show places of the wonderful Normandie. Greetings from the Baltic coast.
