I'm back my friends with the next installment in my Franglais series, where this week I call on the impeccable Camille Charriere who gives me some style tip on how to dress like a French woman...

  • I’m honestly starting to get the impression that being a French woman means putting 100% of your energy into being the sexiest woman in the room but then pretending you don’t try at all

    • I've traveled the world and the most demanding, sexiest woman I've ever met was a Parisian woman I befriended. She was in a bar of 30 strangers and everyone watched her while she spoke. There was nothing particularly "more" of her than anyone else, nor did she show off her body, but she was just magnetic. It was brilliant to witness.

    • Because Americans are mentally a commune society, even they claim that they despise communism - they go by trends and groups, they think alike, follow influencers, and most importantly, they have to share everything they know, and if they are lucky, they will make some profit from it. French people, on the other hand, are individualistic; they want to figure out by themselves who they are and live their life accordingly and keep this acquired knowledge to themselves. Hence, they are mysterious, like a puzzle you want to solve :)

  • I love what Camielle said about french girls finding what suits them, their body, and what they like and dressing according to that. Not following trends but buying staple pieces that will fit your wardrobe and last a long time. I really love that. Fast fashion has ruined our sense of style. Some people only buy a piece because it's "trendy" then the trend passes and they forget about that item and throw it out and the cycle continues with the next trend...

You can just relax on the couch and replace the button, or move them over a bit to tighten or loosen a gaping blouse, for example. There are some shoe repairs you can make, put on a new sole or heel tips, for example. You are not helpless!!!

I’m not bothered if my face reflects those times. And the sun spots? I had great fun at the Texas Coast in college and then with my family getting those spots! I pray nothing more becomes of them. We didn’t know back then what they could lead to. I’m pleased with my face and my silver hair. I could lose some weight... but I’m having a love affair with ice cream right now...sigh.

    • With you. French husband here too - and his family, friends, ex colleagues etc in France are so farrrrrrr from chic! They’re like village/ small town people anywhere else, comfortable and have their own style, and certainly never trend led. I’d even go so far as to say our Parisian friends and their family the same, more French practical and French brand led in their style..maybe on you tube, Instagram and propelled by such ladies as Camille, Jeanne Damas, etc etc, but such “French style” is as curated and contrived as the designers and brands that sell these such “ French” style clothing eg zadig Voltaire, the kooples, etc etc...don’t get me wrong, I love the style, rather sophisticated and classy, yet sexy looking, but it is not “our” France! Not by a long stretch,

    • Cheap brands like fashion nova, forever 21, and other fast fashion brands do an amazing job at making you feel insecure, so you’ll buy their clothes. Their models are of outrageous proportions. The thing with their stuff is that it’s trash that falls apart quickly. You can buy cheap clothes all you want, but the amount of money you’ll spend replacing those items over and over again, is probably more than buying a timeless, high quality piece once. It’s also way better for the environment.

Truth is, France is diverse, the average woman is not a size 0 and French society is advanced enough so that women don't spend their whole life wondering whether their clothes please men. I understand that this vision feeds some sort of vision or fantasy of France, but please look around you when you visit, take the subway or even better get out of Paris

  • Alexa, you are the reason why I created an YTB account ! I am so thrilled ! Can't wait to finish work today so I can spend the rest of the day watching your videos on my couch ! Alexa's videos are the best way to get rid of a bad mood during coronavirus isolation ... Greeting from Romania !

  • I LOVE the basket thing, having something personal to you rather than being about brand names. My favorite pieces are always something personal and unique, maybe from a small boutique or something I've altered myself to fit my own personal style. Plus most of the time, you're paying extra hard-earned $ for a brand name, and half the time it's not even a quality product! There is so much competition in dressing for brands as well--having personal, unique items celebrates you and shows a part of you to the world, and that's what fashion is all about in my opinion!
