- By now you might know of my obsession with all things French, and in the next episode of my Franglais series I have roped in Paris' style maven Caroline De Maigret. Here I learn how to age stylishly, and meet Caroline's French Facialist Sophie Carbonari for a few tips on skincare. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Caroline has released the best-selling book 'Older but Better, but Older' available from Amazon.com

If you're knocking about in London the Vintage clothing shop we visited is called 'One of A Kind Fashion Archive' in Notting Hill.
Special thanks to The Standard Hotel in London for letting us pop in to use their Penthouse for the skincare section of the video.

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

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.
"It's magnetism, not beauty." Yes!!!!! Just adore you, Alexa!

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 CZcams! 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 !! 😊
“She didn’t even french kiss me goodbye” 😂😂 Alexa, I love you my long lost bff
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.
@@SuperToocool4skool it's not like all rock music sounds the same.. ^^
@@lala-iy7cj some are worse than others
Yes pleassse
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.
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!
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
"You need to iron ur clothes now, its very annoying"
omg i love herr
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👍
How gorgeous is that facialist? I love her 😘
she is stunning...
Does anyone know if she has a CZcams 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
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!
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. 😎
Would be DYING to see you make a video with Phoebe Wallerbridge. Your senses of humors could collide so welllll
Yesssssss 👌😎
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.
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 😁
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!
“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!
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! ;)
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.
Caroline is my favorite. Her elegance, her humor, her books. Oh. Makes me wish to be french
Yes Alexa!! More of the Franglais episodes!! I’m just obsessed with them. Love your channel. You’re such a style icon xx
Please do more videos with Caroline... her sense of humour with combination of yours is fabalous😍
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
yes, more content, I dig the vibe, the style and the frenchness that all the non-french strive for
These videos are pure magic! Seriously my favourite ever! You and Caroline are hilarious together!
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 😉
You're seriously one of the best youtubers ever!
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
Alexa, I'm not over it yet!! Please keep up this series. It is illuminating geting an insight into the French chic mindset.
Absolutely loved this video! It’s so spontaneous, natural, fun and also informative! ❤️ Kudos to the filming crew as well!
Please never stop making these. Love them!
“I’m literally Peter-actual-Pan” that’s me. That’s 100% me
This franglais series is honestly my favourite thing on youtube, please do more episodes of it!
More of this! Celebrating the ageing process and recognising how fabulous it is at every age. Hurrah!
FIRST !! 😊 What a dynamic duo: Alexa Chung and Caroline De Maigret !! 👍👍 Can't wait !! 😀
love all the French videos!! especially the clothing ones. i would love to see more in the future❤️❤️❤️
I could watch that a thousand times over and never get enough. Love it girl.
I am loving this series of videos learning how to be more French. Please keep them coming. Wonderful!
You two are the best. Please start a YT channel together or move in together (whatever fits you best)
Alexa sure knows how to build excitement and suspense!
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 🤗
Yeeessss more of this please! I love those videos! And Caroline is the epitomy of french style in my opinion! 😍😍
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":)
Awww, that was great. Three lovely ladies
love all the French way videos!!! Thanks glad I found you look forward to more french videos and friends merci
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.
Love the vibe and coolness of Caroline de Maigret! I can picture her as a shaman High Priestess! Such a goddess!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
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.
I loved this video! Your honesty was so refreshing and it's so nice to find out more about natural skin care. Please do more videos like this if possible. Thank you! :)
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!
YES more of this sort of content Alexa. Your channel is CZcams addiction for adults
“Welcome to rush hour in London”
*one car passes by*
😂
You are such a breath of fresh air for watching you tube videos. I love your franglais series.
I loved this video. I am 60 and the conversation was fun and useful. You two have a great sense of humor!
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?
Your comfortability with Caroline is evident. she seems like your cool aunt you see once a year
Hi!!!!! Continue this series please ! i absolutely adore it
I love this series!!!! I've watched all of the others at least twice! Thank you for making them :D
Caroline is stunning! In appearance and in attitude. She is a walking life manual. And you Alexa are amazing as always.
I’m approaching 30 this year and this is just what I needed this morning 🙂
omg I love, love, LOVE the Franglais series, I can watch these all day!!
You’re brilliant! These French episodes are definitely my favorite!)))
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.
I’m love watching you. I’m also trying to be as “French” as possible. Please do one on shoes especially on flats.
Absolutely love this segment and how fun these vids are!
Watching you and Caroline is so much fun. makes me feel happy
The face massage: SOOO REFREESSSIINGGG!!!
Yes! Teach me all the French things! 🙌🏻
You're excellently cheeky! Had a blast and smiled a lot! 😻
Such a lovely video like every time keep it on can’t wait for the next !
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 !
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
Have been waiting for this collab for forever!!!
I was waiting for this so bad! Love this episode!
Franglais is my favourite
I am absolutely loving this series! I’m currently leaning French because of these videos!!! Such a huge style inspo! Thankyou so much Alexa!! 💖💖🥐💕
you are such a pocket of joy Alexa and loving your tips!
great! i always come away with something new after watching, your quick wit is hilarious
love the "put on youtube's bill", ill try next time
I was under the impression Caroline was such a snob, but she seems a lot of fun here. Loved this one
I love the content in your channel, it's not so self centered and vain, it's just relaxed and fresh!
Just found this channel…Love Love Love!! All excellent, thank you and keep it coming!
Love this, also that yellow coat will be mine!
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.
Thoroughly enjoyed these tips! Keep 'em coming ❤️
This video put a smile on my face. Loved loved it! Great tips also. xx
Ahhh I love Caroline she’s so beautiful inside and out
i was waiting for caroline since the josephine video. you should have camille rowe someday!
she's much more American though
Really very fond of your vlog, I follow you not so very long and I find everything very inspiring .Really enjoy watching you and learning from others. thanks !!
OMG! Caroline De Maigret is so fantastic! Each
phrase literary brilliant!
Caroline does have that fill the entire room magnetism.
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 CZcams ‘vocal fry’ Praise be!
more, more of these Franglais video, Alexa! so great
Wonderful! My face tingles and feels amazing after this, and what's wonderful is that organic rosehip seed oil is quite inexpensive for a bottle, so I love to find that's what the facialist recommends since I already use this as a simple moisturizer. And I love love love Caroline, and I loved her tips for the effortless style. Both of you (Alexa & Caroline) give such great inspirational vibes and so thank-you! I'm Caroline's age and I so resonated with what she says about how it feels to have your skin and your face change. Can't wait to pick up her book. Gros bisous! x
I would totally wear my collar above the jacket
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
I love this french series! I can't wait for the next episode!
Glad you´re continuing on the French series!
