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!
ACxx
Caroline has released the best-selling book 'Older but Better, but Older' available from Amazon.com
You can follow Caroline on Instagram here:

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.

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.

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!

@mihaelatudor2417 4 года назад

@srgtbarnxs1831 4 года назад

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

“Don’t look in your eyes you judge jut be a stylist and look from the eyes of face down Yes super great advice

@estrellarouge 4 года назад

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.)

@cath5645 2 года назад

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!

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 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).
