The French: putting so much effort into looking effortless
@@momentof.silence this is so funny hahaha
No in reality 😂 nobody does that in France apart these two women.
Was not expecting to see you here 🤣

Omg stop I can’t believe I found you guys here
“It’s nice to have a bag that doesn’t scream designer” well I have a wardrobe full of clothes that don’t even whisper designer
(Y’all it makes me so happy that I made you laugh 💖)
mood
Laughing soooo hard!!!!!!!!! SAME!!!!
🤣🤣🤣👍
😂
well done-- now you are dressing the French way
French way: go to the gym and tell no one
American way: wear gym gear all day and tell everyone how you have to work out today, but never actually go
😂
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 :)
@@kristinadroz6210 wow great way to put it
So true lol
Oui cest vrai!
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...
And fast fashion is so wasteful.
Saying that, she has a million pieces in her home.
It's funny she's French and British because she gives me a Dido vibe
@@mauia88 I mean she works in the industry
I mean, the worry is how do they avoid looking dated?
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.
thepeacefish and there goes a century of feminism struggle.
Uhhhhh. Yeah.
Japanese women also tend to be like like this. My style totally changed since I moved to japan. It doesn’t matter your shape or size, it is the way you dress and how you are, gets the attention.
@@Amanda_Perez It's called having class and sophistication. You can't fake that. You are either born with it or not, and it has nothing to do with wealth. 🤔
I'm French and I'm here To learn how to dress like a French
same, never dressed the french way even though i'm french. wait. does that mean i'm not french ?
Lau Rine i so read that in a french accent😂
Oh the irony of fashion
Same 😂
Pareil !! 😅
I lived 2 years in Paris and I used to observe a lot in the metro their outfit. I noticed that blue, beige and grey were the colors most used to dress, no patterns, only simple color. So simple and stylish at the same time. It is the opposite of us Italians. We like be noticed by accessories or colors. I prefer the French Style
That is so true. I’m Italian and French style is so different. They’re much classier. I think we like to be looked at and we use lots of colors. we’re difinitely more extravagant
purtroppo le italiane sono molto tamarre e molto omologate come stile... inoltre seguono ogni trend - difficile che abbiano(/abbiamo) uno stile ben identificativo.
Non so, per me i francesi a volte sono troppo modesti, gli italiani, invece, festeggiano la vita usando i vestiti senza rimorsi!
Haha I'm from India and nothing here is one solid colour. Patterns everywhere
italian style is actually so much more interesting
I'm so glad that someone finally confirmed the fact that jeans that look fabulous on you are not comfortable!
I know right!
Ribcage Levi's are flattering and very comfy, they exist😃
“Dress me like one of your French girls”
Undress me like one of your French girls*
"Jack I want you to draw me like one of your French girls"
Lol
"You don't wanna look like a plastic doll. You don't wanna look like a filter."
PREACH.
Siena Rose why do people put a lot of filters on their pictures on social media. When u meet them in person u won’t recognize them😂
@@ladyinpink2654 wdym? sorry i don't get your point. mind making it clearer?
u dont wanna look thought she was gonna say kardashian uahahaha
As an asian man living in a tropical zone,,, in my country It's quite normal to see a woman who has a glowing vibrant complexion without any skincare routine there are many women who are naturally gifted with it,, really just depend on the Genes
@@joshbrescia4139 ya ya well elsewhere we could grate cheese on our skin in the winter.
Fight Club French girl edition: 1st rule: Do not talk about going to the gym. 2nd rule: Do not talk about going to the gym.
Diana ixvi and it's not even true, we talk about it very often
MarloT Marine Yeah I get the feeling some of those rules don’t apply to your average human. All of these girls are models aha
@@Anna-ug8cq it's not so much a not talking about it but we definitely don't wear gym clothes to and from the gym? the only women i've ever seen wearing exercise outfits in the street are runners or those (young women or teens, usually) who wear sweatpants and the like as street fashion but i'm quite sure they have different clothes for when they actually work out.
wakarahen Yeahh, well it’s the same here really. There’s changing rooms so you can bring other clothes. It’s hard to know because most people drive to and back from the gym. However, people will definitely go out to a corner shop in sweatpants and exercise gear here
wakarahen ath-leisure.
I love how they are like actual friends; talking over each other, interrupting each other, not listening, the little laughs. I love it
Are friends supposed to interrupt each other? 😮
@@Cecilia-qh9wr They usualy do when they're really close. Like how kids talk to each other in fact; social rules and etiquettes are more or less abolished depending on your level of friendship. Anyway, I noticed that as well and found it naturaly charming too.
"Buyings things to put in your wardrobe to keep forever."
So I'm not a hoarder, just French. Cool
You don’t need tons of clothes. Youd be more of a sustainable person, wouldn’t support exploitative work situations etc.
🤣
Phillip Leong me
My first thought haha
what's forever tho. forever can be a year. haha
"It's important to try and mend the things that you love rather than automatically trying to replace them." This woman is speaking TRUTH.
The problem in the US is that is is extremely difficult to find anyone to fix anything. If you do, it seems to cost more to fix it than to buy new :(
@@Shalyn890 Tell me about it. It's the same here in Hong Kong.
Learn to repair anything you can repair. If you don't know how to fix it, watch TH-cam videos. The same thing for things to alter. It isn't that difficult. 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!!!
@@awarenessvillage this is true.
Xaris Villa I agree totally, I sew & fix everything! I don’t throw my ‘old’ things away, mending is fun!
Alexa Chung pretending she's not incredibly stylish for 15 minutes.
Oh my gosh this is so true hahhhahahahhahh Alexa is the best hahahahhahaha
Lol
The pants comments were so funny
Yeah
Lol. Seriously
When Alexa said : "like one of your French girls " and the blonde girl didn't get the Titanic reference, I felt her disappointment through the screen. Yes Alexa , we getting older...
Yess omg I am 14 years though but it kinda was awkward to look at
Hahaha gotta love British sense of humor, poor Alexa 🤣
@@aclouda25 0:12 😊
„Your sweater is too big, loud and colourful”
“That sweater is big tho!”
“Yeah, but it’s chic”
Tommyshelby sameee I love her style haha
I don’t even think she meant it in a mean way, it was just so funny 😂
That French British woman thinks she’s better than everybody.🙄
Alexa's sweater is hideous; from the fit to the melee of texture, its the ugliest sweater ever made. I cant unsee that atrocity.
I like her, but it was rude
what was the brand of that sweater? i don’t speak french so can’t work out the spelling!
I do like that she said physical imperfections are OK and even desirable because you don’t want to look like a plastic doll. Pretty refreshing in a Facetuned era ruled by the Kardashians and Jenners.
Cecily Erker and yet you have the vogue with FaceTuned models representing the ideal of flawless skin
I’m proud to say I don’t watch the Kardashian’s. Don’t know one from another. I’m 73 and wear some mascara and lip tint when doing errands and more when going out to dinner. I have balance issues so L wear mostly flats ( my gorgeous heels are retired... sigh). Flawless skin is overrated! The women look fake. I’ve had great times in my life and awful times. 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. It’s my one vice. Lol Needless to say, the ONLY doll I look like is the old Russian babushka doll I had as a child; t I’m cuter! Lol😉
Robin Holbrook great to see genuine confidence in women of all ages
I loathe filters
I'm so over their look. It's so fake and awful. I feel like natural is coming back in fashion.... people are realizing they can't keep up with this plastic culture.
I'll be honest, I mostly want to know where Alexa got her patchwork-style jumper from. That thing is amazing
someone please
Catie Murphy It’s her own brand. It’s called Frankenstein jumper from Alexa Chung
@@katemaccenzie171 thanks so much!!
@@catemurphy8014 so awkward cuz the French girl clearly didn't like it.. Wonder if she knew Alexa designed it 🥺
Its amazing because Alexa wears it
I bet a lot of French people are rolling their eyes at this.
Thought the same thing
Oooh yes, you can't even imagine !
Yep it's so frustrating, so many clichés, I've rage beaten my beret with my baguette to release the frustration!
@@arno222444 🤣
Yes. We are. My goodness 🙄
*sees altered Levi’s 501*
*Immediately thinks of bestdressed ashley’s thrown out altered levi’s 501 jeans*
Lady Adolys I see you are a cultured gal
i literally had an emotional attachment to them so you can only imagine what my closet looks like
Lady Adolys yesssss
Yessss love ashley
Guess I’m cool, then, because I still have all my old 501s, and those I dug out of my brother’s goodwill bag, dating back to the 1980s. I don’t know why she says they are not comfy. I think that as long as you aren’t wearing a size 3 sizes too small, they are very comfortable jeans
i love alexa when she’s like “oh i haven’t got any knickers on” and the blonde girl is like me too, and alexa is just like “i do with massive hearts on them “
except she said the knickers were massive, not the hearts 😂💕
This girl really has an Aussie feel to me. Funny that she’s British/French which you can see in ways but so much of her reminds me of my Australian friends
Tbh I see it
I thought the same thing!
Yes- being quite open, healthy-looking, casual
Much more stylish than the average Aussie, though (I’m 🇦🇺)
Definitely doesn’t feel like she’s French at all. Aussie yes
@@Alpha-Andromeda aussie for sure or American !
she's so on point with French styles, they don't follow trends, but stay to the classics with some accents of edginess or accents of new trends, but the root is classic and simple
It's funny because the classics were once trends. They are trends that stand the test of time.
And the imperfection part is so true. I can't look at Asian women who put heavy makeup on. The Korean-style ones. Too fake and doll-like.
@@lepetitchat123what's wrong with being doll like ?
Well, I'm sitting here in my ancient 501 Levis and a striped long-sleeve fitted t-shirt feeling like a scruff. Turns out I have natural French chic. Who knew?
Same 🙂
I am so tired of this idea of the French Girl. What you are talking about is the white, skinny, model-like type of Parisian that is in no way common in France apart from a few streets in Paris. 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
Marie-Amah Kouadio yeah like everytime they portrey french girls fashion it is mostly rich girls in Paris « les bobos » almost nobody dress like that outside of these places in Paris. And let me say I am a French girl and I enjoy wearing brands, shopping with my mom...
Don’t clock me, but I kinda hate Paris. I would rather be in different parts of France. Paris has interesting architecture, but that’s the only thing I go there for. Otherwise, I want to be in the countryside. It’s charming
THIS COMMENT.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 RIGHT HERE 💯
Well said/written
Margot Abihabib Paris is the biggest slum city in Western Europe
The interviewer looks more french than the blonde lol
follow @sodowntown on instagram for fashion inspo!
I thought exactly the same XD
How are French people supposed to look?
@@jjgems5909 right
D'accord!
I love the point Camille makes at 12:23. Instead of replacing a broken item, try to repair it. Love and cherish every item in your wardrobe! ♥️
next episode: how to eat a baguette the french way
Pick it up from the bakery and eat half of it on the way home
I'd definitely watch: how to eat a baguette and stay thin like french girls
And salad
Eat the tip right after buying it, on the way home.
Make french toast with whatever is left the next day.
Paul Tylor made a video about this :D he says you have to eat the crust as soon as you get your baguette, out of politeness. That is so true.
Who knocks someone's door and saying "ulalala"? Only Alexa.
And also, their opinion about jeans is so right. It's not comfortable at all but it makes you look extremely fabulous.
lol, she really hates your jumper. i think it's great.
No, it's awful....yuk....
I like it too!
Yeah her jumper is so cool
I’m french and i like it more than the outfit she wore at the end lol
Lol that knit is part of Alexa Chung’s fashion line, so doubly insulting 🥴
I love the traditional “imperfect” look of this french. Always have. I watch a lot of french makeup tutorials where they don’t completely cover freckles, beauty marks, dark circles etc. It’s awesome
My husband is Parisian and we go there every year. Most French girls do not look like this. They are regular people like anywhere else. It's like the stereotype that all LA girls are beach girls.
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,
Merci !!!🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️ Tired of those S***
Michelle Yu I grew up in Paris and still live here and I can say that yes most of what she said in the video is accurate. It is not true to every Parisian women but it definitely is representative of most women in their 20’s and 30’s. As for France as a whole you are right, the reality is far from this video.
Lørëz l
How would L.A. be beach girls if there is nooooo beach you mean Hollywood
It’s been said many times...fashion brands make insecure people feel better.
It also makes them look sophisticated and people who look well put together are treated with respect.
Vanessa P seems like someone is insecure themselves... yikes!
+KaliGolden
Indeed, people need to dress up to look well presented, and not look like a slob.
Couldn't agree with you more. Thats how the fashion houses make tons of money. Selling lies to dummies with lots of $$$
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.
She taking off her clothes to change in front of the camera and not feeling anything awkward about it is the most French thing ever.
She was a model. She had to change in front of others before.
Not particularly French but European in general. If she was wearing a bikini which shows exactly as much of your body as underwear does, it wouldn't be awkward to you.

I am officially obsessed with the Breton stripe sweater she had...those sleeves really are great.
What brand did she say
A French brand called Molly but I can’t find the sweater anywhere in their inventory :( may be older.
@@Nina-ox6ro it is called Molli, you can find the sweater on their website: www.molli.com/products/femme-mariniere-a-larges-emmanchures-molli-milk?lang=en
Marloes7 oh my goodness!!!!! VIRTUAL HUG!
@@Nina-ox6ro haha, thanks :D
over the years i keep coming back to this video, it's just fantastic
5:21 I remember growing up with the phrase "pain is beauty" kind of messed up how no matter where you grow up women are taught this.
A French classic: "Jeans. Levis." Well.
The key to being fashionable is to just be thin, apparently. Nothing can look too bad on a slender frame.
i lost twenty pounds, as a thinner person now i can confirm this is true
If you can become runway model tall and rich thats even better
It's true, but to me is really hard tô find clothes that fit
The key to being fashionable is to dress for yourself and ignore trends, regardless of your body type. Find your own fashion and be who you are and bot what someone else thinks you ought to be.
Gotta disagree with that
Edit: I'm disagreeing with all the comment saying all you have to do is be skinny
Maybe not everything is true or represents all "French girls", but I personnally could NEVER go out in sweatpants, or any kind of sportswear (unless maybe I'm going to the gym by car)
The thing about AC is that you can throw anything on her and she invariably looks gorgeous and smart.
I'm French, I don't dress this way. This is only about rich french girls in Paris
About elegant girls*
@@ru8771 *rich privileged parisians
Thanks for saying what I thought as soon as that obviously privileged blond girl opened her door and her mouth!!
@@laITAebella you're 100% right, people fail to accept that.
@@laITAebella 60s fashion was actually pioneered by what young stylish people were wearing on the street. And then everything onward. It was just repackaged by the fashion industry and then sold back to consumers for a heftier price. That's what trends have been for the last fifty or so years.
"Any little imperfection, we keep." Love that.
Yes love it..could relate ..
the thing i always admired about my french friends was that they just wore whatever they wanted and their confidence in it made it work
I think it's it. I live in France, cannot tell you the amount of times I found a man's hairstyle ridiculous but after hearing them talk a few minutes I find that all of it is charming by how confident they are. Both men and women are very self confident. In France they say "il faut s'assumer" which basically means it's necessary to own who you are. And they do. Their confidence is amazing.
YESSS THE FRANGLAIS GIRLS ARE BACK
"Massive knickers with hearts on." I've achieved dressing like Alexa Chung ... if only in one article of clothing. Achievement unlocked.
French classic attire ... Levi’s 501s. Ow, my eyes can’t stop rolling!
I love that "it's not about fashion, it's about how clothes make you feel." That's how it should be!!! 😍
She even got the hunched back of the Hunchback of the Notre-Dame right at the end
Ahh it was so funny~!! I genuinely enjoyed watching this.
LOOOL
😂
This is not French style !!!!! This is PARISIAN style !
parisian aren't french?
She means the style reflects people from Paris not other parts of France
Where is Paris then?
Plus it's typical cliché Parisian / French style
what is that
The first iconic French piece she pulls out is American Levi denim.
Denim. Heavy duty cloth from de Nime France.
@@irenejohnston6802 Oh cool, I never knew that. So it's a beautiful cultural cross over.
These ladies together are low key hilarious, I love their friendship!
"I'm going to go to the gym in secret"
hahahahhaha
Dam Starz so french☺️
I love that. LOL
I’m really into everything she’s doing
I thought the idea was French women have less but better quality but she has TONS of everything.
I noticed the enormous pile of white shirts on the shelf above her sweaters.
It is her job though
It's the American half of her. She's half French only.
All Amounts to being SLIM and having long STRAIGHT hair. If don’t start there forget about the clothes.
After that it’s easy. Jeans, stripe top or basic top. Few colors. But colorful lips.
Big coat... boot or some height to shoe. Voila.
Rita Gaston YES if you’re not skinny with straight hair it’s not gonna work
Big love to my big parisians! ❤
Usually it's wavy hair, straight hair is not voluminous enough
Exactly! Glad somebody said it
With straight hair you can start from there too. Very easy to style
“You dont wanna look like a plastic doll” FINALLY!! The kardashians must’ve been shaking
ikko but they aren't trying to be french
-- yeah, americans.
Idk what dolls yall look at, but the Kardashians do not emulate the ones I'm familiar with.
Meanwhile she looks amazing lol
ikko they’re rich girl they’re fine
As a french person, you guys are right : we try so hard to look like we didn't try hard at all.
Didn’t expect to be so inspired by this video. I’ve never liked the oversized look which is so popular right now. This video gave me more confidence to continue dressing the way I know flatters me most
Me too, absolutely hate oversized. It only suits long lean people and even then it still doesn't flatter them but rather it just doesn't look so terrible on them as other body types.
"I do.. Ive got massive knickers with hearts on them. ." I'm dead hahaha
This is why I love you! “So you don’t mind your feet being cold” asking the questions we all want answered!!!!
I love that this episode focuses on taking care, choosing wisely, intending to keep, fixing and not throwing away your clothes
I run a fashion magazine and consume copious amounts of Fashion Media. This is BY FAR the best, most informative, most fabulous fashion video I've ever seen. Kudos for getting and reinforcing the right messages.
I love the concept of buying things that will last! We definitely need to learn from this! I genuinely think we need to start thinking of clothing as an expression of our personality, and it sounds like France may be closer to slow fashion habits that we are in the UK. Not to say no one is into slow fashion! But so many people treat clothing like it’s disposable over here. Something we should work on ☺️❤️
Alexa being British and keeping it very down to earth via little sarcastic yet very subtle comments is a whole mood.
1st time ever of watching Alexa but I love how she walked in Frenchies home like she owned the place!! Then said "keep your tongue in your mouth" after they kissed. I'm dead
I swear I watched this video for about a million times. I love Camille so much
Love this, I loved the netflix series she did. I love how french women dont hide who they are!! Elegance never goes out of style
alexa: i want to dress like a french girl
*steals her friend's striped sweater and beret, grabs a baguette, and runs out to the street yelling the one or two phrases we all know from introductory french class*
Val R. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love u
I'm trying to learn how to dress the Alexa Chung way. It will never be achieved.
I don't think I will either. I can't like all her choices . Particularly the sweater she is wearing.
@@carochan86 Think would the Goodwill sell this? If it is a yes, then it's an Alexa authentic. LOL
Melissa Ngai I’m with you
Alexa Cheung just dresses like we did in the late 80s/90s. How she hopped on that gravy train 20 years too late is beyond me.
carochan86 I thought the sweater was cute :(
I like how this girl gives Alexa the best comebacks lol... She's much more informed and every time Alexa has some sassy remark she just manages to "shush" her in a positive and smart way. Quite remarkable actually. Not saying it in a bad way, Alexa has her own personality and I like her content. But Camille seems to have a more professional approach to fashion.
I can’t believe I watched the whole thing ! Well done. I’m living in Paris and everything you said was spot on 👍
It’s more about style and having your own style than fashion or being fashionable.
me: why is she wearing british girl makeup??
her: my moms half english
there it is
What is 'british girl makeup'?
I am from England, and know that firstly, there is NOT one style of makeup that girls wear here and, secondly, that hers is not distinctly "British", whatever that means. Her makeup is just as well suited to a life in France as it would be in England.
S From my experience, makeup in the UK is very heavy. Bright eyeshadows, strong brows and tanned skin. I’m not a fan
knock knock Landshark That’s a mood
Esther Fong She has pink around her eyes, classic French makeup doesn’t do that. I guess her style is a British/French mix.
the quintessential "french girl" is british: jane birkin.
I know, right :) that's interesting
It's so important to "mend the things you love". Quote of the vid ❤️
Not everyone can pull off the "french" style I personally think..if you're gorgeous basically anything will look chic on you..hence a shirt and jeans will look amazing... But with people like me I rely on colour and prints.. hence why I love the Brits style! The more unique the better
Alexa is a PERFECT mix of French and British style. Classy, not too loud but unique and cute/androgyny...
I love the french language nd I do love their effortless but lots of effort look and that cool/mysterious kinda vibe though❤️
Love how Camille is so honest!
I literally dress like this but don’t look like this? Guess you have to be French maybe ?
I'm french and I dress like this but I don't look like this, only parisian rich girls ( bourgeoises ) do :')
This !
You're just not a rich model. This channel will try to convince you this look is a matter of taste but its a matter of privilege. The average French person looks the same as the rest of us.
Yes
Same, in California I just look poor
That was utterly delightful.. Not just the fashion, but the fun and the humor.. Happy to find you here!
I love both of their personalities so genuine and kind
I live in Paris, it's not common for women to wear revealing clothes. French women avoid anything that shows too much skin.
@@kenneseyl2819 in moderation,but no ultra tight fitting clothes and overly revealing cleavage or very short shorts (when I see those, it's usually tourists). Arms are fine and you also see skirt with black tights in the colder months. Strapless shirts aren't common.
"Il faut souffrir pour être belle", said every mom, anywhere.
We say a veeery similar thing in Italy too... "Se bella vuoi apparire, un po' devi anche soffrire" . Mothers usually say it when brushing their daughters hair (literally like she said in the video)😂
What do either of these mean?
@@HewanYitagesu "it's got to hurt to be beautiful" or the Italian version is better translated as "if you want to appear beautiful, you also have to suffer a little bit" (more or less)
In Latin America, or at least were I’m from.. we say “ la belleza duele” which would translate to “beauty hurts” 😂
@@sofiarodriguez9440 There's another one in Spanish, "Para ser bella hay que ver estrellas". It's got the same idea as the expressions in French and Italian.
I hope y’all continue more Franglais PLEASE!!
Not only have I watched this too many times but I’ve overthrown my entire wardrobe. Thank you thank you
I wish she had shown the jeans on so we could find “the perfect” jean
I guess that is the jeans on alexa
Uncomfortably tight Levi's 501 button front. Ouchie.
3:21 "lt's got to hurt to be beautiful" When i was little my grandmother said to me "Para ser bella hay que ver estrellas" that translate "you have to see stars to be beautiful" understanding "see stars" as a metaphore of feel pain.
Alex, I love your series. You ask all the right questions!
Hi from New Zealand!! I so loved this!!! Thank you for your wonderful interview skills... you asked all the questions I was dying to know🌹🌹🌹
"I'm gonna eat it and then I'm gonna go to the gym but in secret" 😂 I can't stop repeating that part.
"I do. I have massive knickers on with hearts on it" 😂😂😂 gosh she's funny
AGoodName I’m crying 😂😂😂
I love her
Hahaha that was so funny!! I'll never understand no underwear!!
I related to French fashion so much. Made me feel I’m doing something right.
I’m born and raised Australian and I love to have classic items that I keep forever, and repair items that I love
I'm french but I remember putting so much effort into trying to dress like Alexa Chung when I was younger. always loved the British girls style !
didn't know how much i needed this channel until you made it, you're the best! x
The French girl gave me a passive agressive vibe
8:00 "see that's a bit wider!"
"Yeah, it's chic though"
Shots fired
That is also the french style
I felt the same way
I really liked her

This video is so iconic. It’s been showing up on my page for so long and I keep watching it again and again even I know what to expect and yet it’s always interesting.
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!
