On July 4th weekend a special thank you to your friend who traces American soldiers footsteps in France on D Day. Let’s all offer a prayer for their sacrifice and that we would stand and remain free. 🇺🇸
Thank you, Marie-Anne, for mentioning the brave GI's who stormed the beaches on D-Day. They are true heroes. I have had the pleasure of meeting a few here and there and they are always humble and gracious. Very cool about your friend that retraces their steps.
From the bottom of my heart I thank you for going to Utah beach. It is so important to remember their sacrifice . On a lighter note my perfume is Chanel #5 and my silk scarf is also Chanel. You keep me from making style blunders.
Hello, I love watching your mini-travel videos! Makes me feel like I am visiting France. I love it and your videos. Very inspiring! Thank you for all you do in helping all of us 50-somethings appreciate style and life in general. Blessings to you and your family and I am looking forward to seeing your new home.
I love that you have "come out of the closet" so-to-speak, Marie-Anne. I enjoy the beautiful places of France that you are showing us, and the styles and clothing you feature are more interesting in real life settings.
Marie-Anne, there is nothing more inspiring,than a drive through the French country side. Thank you for this lesson on essentials. I have discovered Nuxe Prodigiuex floral parfume.It isn't an expensive product, but one that makes me feel refined, natural and elegant when I wear it.I look to your videos to continue to build a wardrobe which uses that timeless French style and sensibility ❤
I love to wear My Mikimoto pearl strands, my cashmere sweaters, often tucked in, my linen or wool blazers, anytime, casually or dressed up. When I wear red lipstick, I look like my mother, which is fine; she wore red lipstick everyday.
Good morning Marie-Anne My staple items are my Longine Dolcevita watch bought 27 years ago and worn almost every day since and Christian Dior Miss Dior Originale perfume as my signature scent for 30+ years. I love pearl earrings too - so flattering. I save all your videos to play over when l need advice or inspiration. Caroline x
I used to adore the Coco Mademoiselle, then it changed either itself or on me :( But Gabrielle is one I could almost bathe in, it's so light and fresh. And pearl studs for me too!
Two essential pieces of jewelry: a pair of white button Pearl earrings from my parents on my wedding day, and a peach and Diamond ring my husband gave me for our 39th wedding anniversary, June 25, 2021!

Thank you for all the wonderful fashion advice and style tips; so happy to have found your channel! You have inspired me to shop my closet, create new outfits with a fresh eye, and add new life to my wardrobe. My new style journal has helped me to easily see what is needed when I go shopping to put that extra finishing touch to my outfits. I've been receiving complements and have a new spring in my step......blessings! to you!
I think the smile is the most important of all, it's an instant face lift. Thank you Marie-Anne for all these great videos. I found them just recently, but I have always liked the French way. I'm an ex Finn living in Brisbane, Australia (69 age). The way to wear clothes in Finland was totally different than in this much warmer climate. You have something for everybody anyway. I'm just going through your videos little by little and I have found good tips. These Australian women were Ugh's but I wouldn't go out wearing them. It's a big non non pour moi. Love your styles and going through my wardrobe, gives me some good ideas. I also sew myself. Thanks again. Love you.
I love my pearl strand of true pearls. A gift from a dear friend. My favorite perfume is Alien of Thierry Mugles , also love pear and mandarine in perfumes. I love my kitten heels nude color. My sweather has a duski rose color, love my duck blue/ green one too
I'm 73 and have worn Chanel #5 for probably 55 years. Tried a few other along the way but not for many many years. I'm adopting a lot of your style suggestions.
Your clothes are gorgeous Marie - Anne but oh my goodness that scenery is stunning. Our friends have a house in Brittany and we've been a few times. The scenery in rural France is incredible
Bonjour Marie- Anne. What a great list!! My favorite scent is eau Savage I found it in my teens and love the fresh citrus perfume. My favorite piece of jewelry is an antique rose gold fob chain that was my great grandfather's and I wear this as a necklace. I have loved wearing it since my twenties xx
Your opening brought me to tears....as an American seeing St. Mere Eglise left me speechless. It is kind of you to help WWII families retrace their soldiers steps through your friend. Now back to fashion....favorite perfume is Ginger Essence from Origins; favorite piece of jewelry is my gold chain necklace with my lucky charms; my favorite scarf is my vintage Burberry :)
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 have ALL of those items! 😀. I love L’Heure Bleu & Apres L’Ondee, both by Guerlain for any occasion. My two late husbands both bought me Hermès scarves for birthdays and Christmas gifts. 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. I enjoy your videos and seeing the scenery of your area. ❤️
i LOVE jO mALONE! lIME BASIL IS MY FAVE!! Yes, love my diamond studs. I have a lovely Hermes scarf, it was a dear friend of mine who passed away in 2014, her family gave it to me❤
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!
Bonjour Marie Anne, I wear Thierry Mugler purfume i have worn it since I was in my early 20s. I am in my mid 50s now. A Lovely danish lady who I used to work for introduced me to it. I am on the look out for a silk blouse, Hermès scarf and would like to own a smoking Jacket. I enjoy wearing men waist coats and have been looking at buying a mans style watch. Also have a thing for hats all shapes and Colours. I live in the South West of France. Merci for your videos and your up lifting attitude 🇫🇷💜🏴
I've been wearing Arpage' since I was around 20. Another of my favourites is Tabu and everyone loves Chanel, I always get a bottle duty free if anybody I know is going overseas.
I love the French coast there. I visited Normandy when I was in high school. I always remember it. It is sunny on this day. On my day it was overcast. I want to find a piece that I can wear all the time. That is such a great item.
A gentleman dairy farmer, named Al Tisland, living in Ferndale, Wa., passed away a few years ago. He told me, he put the very first US tank on the Normandy beaches, in the process he was shot in the head, said he felt nothing, one could easily see he had a metal plate in his head. He went on to live well into his eighties. Love your videos Marie-Anne, hope you are well. I carefully follow many of your very clever tips. Thank you!
@@MarieAnneLecoeur I agree, my Great-grandmother, Amy Beechey lost five sons in WW1 and her girls all went to be nurses at the front. She was honoured by the Queen for her sacrifice, she said it was not a sacrifice, because she did not do it willingly. Thank you for the adventure, I love seeing where you live. You are so right about owning quality items.
Dear Marie-Anne, I’m watching this video today(12/10/21). I thought the video was the most original ever. I loved to see a place in France that I’ve never been before. Please do more ‘traveling’ fashion videos. And thank you.
Bonjour Marie-Anne Love this video.! My favourite perfume is Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune, bought at the airport many years ago on my way to the Holy Land. 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. With the help of your channel I have added a couple more pieces from your list, a pair of dark navy straight cut jeans and an ivory silk shirt. I have always preferred classis style but the tips you give add that little bit of 'Je ne sais quoi' that turns classic into chic. Merci, Marie-Anne. Pat Osborne
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!
This is my first video I've watched from you. I must say I found it very relaxing and peaceful. I almost felt like I was on a road trip. France is one of the places on my bucket list. My favorite perfume right now is Chance by Chanel.😘😘
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!
Marie-Anne, I loved this video and that you have been using nature and the beautiful surroundings in your area for your videos this summer! Earlier I commented that I really liked some of your first videos on the beach, and I really think you are so great at combining culture/nature and style, which makes it even more interesting, alive and inspiring while having such a warm and relaxing feel. I have not been watching videos for some time and am so happy to catch up and discover your new channel also. I love style, but what keeps drawing me to your videos is really that I can see that you are such a genuine, sweet and passionate person. Something to be thankful for in these times. Best wishes, Anna
Thank you so much, Marie-Anne, for honoring the Allied soldiers. It is wonderful to hear that France still appreciates their sacrifice. 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!
Bonjour & Merci! I live in Hermes...." Le Jardin de Monsieur Li " and also Jo Malone " Lime, Basil & Mandarin" The most perfect jeans... Imogene & Willie from Nashville Tennessee... I like the style "Lottie".
Thank you from America. My dad was in WWII. My Uncle Art was at Normandy. History is important to me. 🇺🇲 I wear Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. The cut is perfect for me, high rise, dark blue, straight leg, tummy control. Always fit perfectly.
Oh my Gosh! Mon Dieu! I have been to the places you visited. It brought a tear to my eye. Places so beautiful, torn apart by war. Thank you for visiting and highlighting these beautiful areas. By the way, we are not that old. great history buffs
💖🤩💕 Light Blue =Dulce Gabbana for me 😎 I wear it all year round since its creation. When I was younger my favourite and still love to this day is Anais Anais by Cacharel 🧚🏼♀️💐💗
Merci Marie-Anne for another wonderful video, I’m a recent subscriber, not so much for your style tips because I learned those from my French Maman who I lost in December, she was 87 and beautiful and elegant until the day she passed away. Your beauty, warmth and gorgeous accent bring me joy and comfort and remind me of her. Today you inspired me to buy a new coat, I found a beautiful wool & cashmere blend from Hobbs with £100 off in the sale! Woohoo. 🥳 My little French chic tip is to shop for a coat in July 😉. Thank you and congratulations on such a wonderful channel, I look forward to following your adventures and being inspired. Love and warmest wishes from U.K. 💕🇬🇧PS. Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca by Guerlian if my favourite, très léger et frais.
Thank you for showing us the beautiful scenery and remembering those that lost their lives. ❤️ I have a specially designed diamond necklace that includes the diamond from my mother’s ring, my earrings and a few other rings that were no longer worn. I wear it every day. I have 7 Hermes scarves that I adore, 1 of which I bought in Paris. I love the stunning artistry of the designs and the colours. I also love Hermes perfume Twilly and Elixir. I live in Scotland so cashmere is an absolute must to keep out the cold. I have many sweaters and wore every one on rotation during the Winter. I love Lisa Eldridge Red Velvet lipstick. ❤️
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.
Thank you for the historical reference and especially for sharing your beautiful country views. Have just ordered Russian Red lipstick per your example.
I love my pearl studs also hoops I feel you can never go wrong with hoops . I have several sizes of hoops. One good piece of jewelry that you wear all the time. I have a lovely vintage piece that a friend gave me. It was her mother's. She said you will wear this more than me. She is right I wear it all the time. I always get compliments when I do. I just can't seem to do the red lipstick thing. It is over the top for me. I feel clownish when I do. Subtle lipstick is my thing. Subtle makeup that enhances. Enjoyed so much your video at the beach and seeing the French countryside.
I love this video! Amazing scenery. I love wearing Burberry Brit for her, D&G Light Blue, Lacoste for her. I love pearl and diamond stud earrings!! I love wearing a blazer with jeans!
What a beautiful visit into history today, Marie-Anne! Thank you so much! Chanel No5 is my fall and winter favorite; I like Jicky for summer, and in the spring I wear Pheromone, an American perfume from Marilyn MIglin. My best coat is the dark navy Manuela from Max Mara. It's definitely an investment piece and gets worn as often as possible. Why not be chic when we're buying our groceries? And yes, I have silk scarves from Ferragamo and Chanel. I don't think people realize how warm silk is, and how special it feels to wear something so beautiful.
I adore my black cashmere sweater...unfortunately so do the moths! I am at war with them! I live in Louisiana where our sweltering climate makes it very hard to stop them. Unfortunately I seldom wear my real pearls because I teach young children. I find the two don't mix.I have a love of classic clothing too. Thank you for your videos.
An elderly lady neighbor gave me a teardrop pearl. My husband got me a gold chain and I wear it all. The. Time. So lovely! I also have a Dior silk scarf I have had for 40 years in colors that suit me… so lovely and versatile!
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.
Bonjour Marie-Anne, I really love the little adventures that you are taking us on! The trip to the beach was such fun! I have always loved Paris by YSL, and Arpege by Lanvin. Thank you for your inspiring videos, you are a joy! Merci! :)
Great top tips again Marie-Anne. I can add to my list. Thank you for sharing beautiful views too. Also always I enjoy the lovely French music that you have in the video very happy uplifting easy listening.
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!
Thank you, Marie-Anne! I will have to adapt this advice to the climate I live in (Texas, USA) which is brutally hot and humid in the summer. The mere mention of silk makes me feel too hot!
I live in Kyle, hello fellow Texan! My wool coat stays in moths balls most of the year every year. I'm ok with silk, but linen and cotton seem to be the best for our climate.
Organic essential oils are perfect as perfumes, and, unlike synthetic perfumes, don't cause any harm to health (but mind the allergies!). My favorites are tangerine/mandarine essential oil and essential oil of pink grapefruits (pampelmuse).
This really meant a lot to me. My uncle Bill fought in that town. 82nd airborne said Machine guns had melted from use, pulling out knives for hand to hand combat when help arrived. He survived war Lived long life. Kind caring man thank you so much
Bonjour Marie-Anne! My two favorite earrings are pearls and gold hoops! I wore a perfume from Jo Malone about 18 years ago but need a new scent! Lots of essentials to aspire for! Love 💕 you’re filming from the beach! Such fun!
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. 🤗
Thanks for going to Utah beach. Brings back memories of my vacation in France 2 years ago. I ♡ my Chanel, my scarfs that aren't silk but, from vacations in France and Greece. 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.
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!
Wonderful list Marie-Anne; I can say I do have each of those you mention. 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.
Loved this video with your ' little adventure ' at the beginning.....My favourite perfume of choice is Amarige ( Givenchy)...love it. Going through my wardrobe ( which currently i can't wear because of my weight ) I discovered not only a beautiful navy blazer...I may swap the navy buttons for metalic ones...but also a lovely cream silk blouse I forgot I had....so many lovely classic items I will have to wear when I reach my goal weight/size.!!! God bless Marie -Anne and French chic ladies Gilly

From the bottom of my heart I thank you for going to Utah beach. It is so important to remember their sacrifice .
On a lighter note my perfume is Chanel #5 and my silk scarf is also Chanel. You keep me from making style blunders.

@@morganharrell1722 Thank you. I was Women's Royal Army Corps (UK)

I've been wearing Arpage' since I was around 20. Another of my favourites is Tabu and everyone loves Chanel, I always get a bottle duty free if anybody I know is going overseas.
I love the French coast there. I visited Normandy when I was in high school. I always remember it. It is sunny on this day. On my day it was overcast. I want to find a piece that I can wear all the time. That is such a great item.
A gentleman dairy farmer, named Al Tisland, living in Ferndale, Wa., passed away a few years ago. He told me, he put the very first US tank on the Normandy beaches, in the process he was shot in the head, said he felt nothing, one could easily see he had a metal plate in his head. He went on to live well into his eighties. Love your videos Marie-Anne, hope you are well. I carefully follow many of your very clever tips. Thank you!
Honour all vets SJordan 🙏 we owe them everything
@@MarieAnneLecoeur I agree, my Great-grandmother, Amy Beechey lost five sons in WW1 and her girls all went to be nurses at the front. She was honoured by the Queen for her sacrifice, she said it was not a sacrifice, because she did not do it willingly. Thank you for the adventure, I love seeing where you live. You are so right about owning quality items.
Dear Marie-Anne, I’m watching this video today(12/10/21). I thought the video was the most original ever. I loved to see a place in France that I’ve never been before. Please do more ‘traveling’ fashion videos. And thank you.
Bonjour Marie-Anne
Love this video.!
My favourite perfume is Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune, bought at the airport many years ago on my way to the Holy Land. 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. With the help of your channel I have added a couple more pieces from your list, a pair of dark navy straight cut jeans and an ivory silk shirt. I have always preferred classis style but the tips you give add that little bit of 'Je ne sais quoi' that turns classic into chic.
Merci, Marie-Anne.

Acqua di Parma - my favourite perfume
My all time favorite perfume is Chanel 19❤️thank you for taking me back to Normandy! What a gorgeous French countryside!❤️🌹
Angel is my absolute favourite
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!
Some influencers sponsor cruises, Marie-Anne. Save a seat for me on your bus tour of the French countryside. ;) One can dream!
Angel is so lovely, I also enjoy Chloé Narcisse. Stainless steel necklace with a round pendant.
This is my first video I've watched from you. I must say I found it very relaxing and peaceful. I almost felt like I was on a road trip. France is one of the places on my bucket list. My favorite perfume right now is Chance by Chanel.😘😘
Used to love to wear all the designer perfumes, now I am much more mature, I find I prefer the single floral perfumes from Fragonard.
I love to walk thru the mist! Lime Basil and Mandarin. I agree about the pearls.
I love my olive green corduroy blazer.
Beautiful countryside! Love the mini history lesson before the main event. Inspiring and useful video as usual. Merci!
The silk blouses pack beautifully!
I love your positive energy and joy, thank you.
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!
@@MarieAnneLecoeur No, but I'll have a look ❤️
Love ALL of your videos! Thank you!
Marie-Anne, I loved this video and that you have been using nature and the beautiful surroundings in your area for your videos this summer! Earlier I commented that I really liked some of your first videos on the beach, and I really think you are so great at combining culture/nature and style, which makes it even more interesting, alive and inspiring while having such a warm and relaxing feel. I have not been watching videos for some time and am so happy to catch up and discover your new channel also. I love style, but what keeps drawing me to your videos is really that I can see that you are such a genuine, sweet and passionate person. Something to be thankful for in these times. Best wishes, Anna
Just Lovely - Thank You for the countryside drive - Very enjoyable - Lovely
My favorite perfume is Tocca Florence.
Thank you so much, Marie-Anne, for honoring the Allied soldiers. It is wonderful to hear that France still appreciates their sacrifice. 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 treated myself to a Hermes scarf after finishing my degree. Thank you for your videos! I love everything French. Merci~
You are very welcome 😘
Bonjour & Merci! I live in Hermes...." Le Jardin de Monsieur Li " and also Jo Malone " Lime, Basil & Mandarin"
The most perfect jeans... Imogene & Willie from Nashville Tennessee... I like the style "Lottie".
Thank you from America. My dad was in WWII. My Uncle Art was at Normandy. History is important to me. 🇺🇲
I wear Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. The cut is perfect for me, high rise, dark blue, straight leg, tummy control. Always fit perfectly.
Oh my Gosh! Mon Dieu! I have been to the places you visited. It brought a tear to my eye. Places so beautiful, torn apart by war. Thank you for visiting and highlighting these beautiful areas. By the way, we are not that old. great history buffs
💖🤩💕 Light Blue =Dulce Gabbana for me 😎 I wear it all year round since its creation. When I was younger my favourite and still love to this day is Anais Anais by Cacharel 🧚🏼♀️💐💗
Merci Marie-Anne for another wonderful video, I’m a recent subscriber, not so much for your style tips because I learned those from my French Maman who I lost in December, she was 87 and beautiful and elegant until the day she passed away. Your beauty, warmth and gorgeous accent bring me joy and comfort and remind me of her. Today you inspired me to buy a new coat, I found a beautiful wool & cashmere blend from Hobbs with £100 off in the sale! Woohoo. 🥳 My little French chic tip is to shop for a coat in July 😉. Thank you and congratulations on such a wonderful channel, I look forward to following your adventures and being inspired. Love and warmest wishes from U.K. 💕🇬🇧PS. Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca by Guerlian if my favourite, très léger et frais.
Love your videos of the countryside; one day hope to travel!
I have an Hermes scarf of India. I need to wear it more.
Thank you for showing us the beautiful scenery and remembering those that lost their lives. ❤️ I have a specially designed diamond necklace that includes the diamond from my mother’s ring, my earrings and a few other rings that were no longer worn. I wear it every day. I have 7 Hermes scarves that I adore, 1 of which I bought in Paris. I love the stunning artistry of the designs and the colours. I also love Hermes perfume Twilly and Elixir. I live in Scotland so cashmere is an absolute must to keep out the cold. I have many sweaters and wore every one on rotation during the Winter. I love Lisa Eldridge Red Velvet lipstick. ❤️
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.
Marie-Anne my favorite perfume is Chanel 5 and Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom. Thank you for all you do to help women dress classy and elegant!
Thank you for the historical reference and especially for sharing your beautiful country
views. Have just ordered Russian Red lipstick per your example.
I love my pearl studs also hoops I feel you can never go wrong with hoops . I have several sizes of hoops. One good piece of jewelry that you wear all the time. I have a lovely vintage piece that a friend gave me. It was her mother's. She said you will wear this more than me. She is right I wear it all the time. I always get compliments when I do. I just can't seem to do the red lipstick thing. It is over the top for me. I feel clownish when I do. Subtle lipstick is my thing. Subtle makeup that enhances. Enjoyed so much your video at the beach and seeing the French countryside.
I love this video! Amazing scenery. I love wearing Burberry Brit for her, D&G Light Blue, Lacoste for her. I love pearl and diamond stud earrings!! I love wearing a blazer with jeans!
What a beautiful visit into history today, Marie-Anne! Thank you so much!
Chanel No5 is my fall and winter favorite; I like Jicky for summer, and in the spring I wear Pheromone, an American perfume from Marilyn MIglin.
My best coat is the dark navy Manuela from Max Mara. It's definitely an investment piece and gets worn as often as possible. Why not be chic when we're buying our groceries?
And yes, I have silk scarves from Ferragamo and Chanel. I don't think people realize how warm silk is, and how special it feels to wear something so beautiful.
I adore my black cashmere sweater...unfortunately so do the moths! I am at war with them! I live in Louisiana where our sweltering climate makes it very hard to stop them. Unfortunately I seldom wear my real pearls because I teach young children. I find the two don't mix.I have a love of classic clothing too. Thank you for your videos.
Oh yes, I did enjoy this video very much and I loved seeing your cute little dogs 💗💗💗💗
An elderly lady neighbor gave me a teardrop pearl. My husband got me a gold chain and I wear it all. The. Time. So lovely! I also have a Dior silk scarf I have had for 40 years in colors that suit me… so lovely and versatile!
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.
Bonjour Marie-Anne, I really love the little adventures that you are taking us on! The trip to the beach was such fun! I have always loved Paris by YSL, and Arpege by Lanvin. Thank you for your inspiring videos, you are a joy! Merci! :)
Great top tips again Marie-Anne. I can add to my list. Thank you for sharing beautiful views too. Also always I enjoy the lovely French music that you have in the video very happy uplifting easy listening.
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!
Thankyou for taking me on a real tour of France. It's the closest I'll ever be and it's beautiful.
Thank you, Marie-Anne! I will have to adapt this advice to the climate I live in (Texas, USA) which is brutally hot and humid in the summer. The mere mention of silk makes me feel too hot!
I live in Kyle, hello fellow Texan! My wool coat stays in moths balls most of the year every year. I'm ok with silk, but linen and cotton seem to be the best for our climate.
Great video- your area is so picturesque. You’re so stylish and beautiful.
Organic essential oils are perfect as perfumes, and, unlike synthetic perfumes, don't cause any harm to health (but mind the allergies!). My favorites are tangerine/mandarine essential oil and essential oil of pink grapefruits (pampelmuse).
This really meant a lot to me. My uncle Bill fought in that town. 82nd airborne said Machine guns had melted from use, pulling out knives for hand to hand combat when help arrived. He survived war Lived long life. Kind caring man thank you so much
Bonjour Marie-Anne! My two favorite earrings are pearls and gold hoops! I wore a perfume from Jo Malone about 18 years ago but need a new scent! Lots of essentials to aspire for! Love 💕 you’re filming from the beach! Such fun!
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. 🤗
Glad you are enjoying my channel Laurel Ann x
Thanks for going to Utah beach. Brings back memories of my vacation in France 2 years ago. I ♡ my Chanel, my scarfs that aren't silk but, from vacations in France and Greece. 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.
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!
I am so glad you got something you were longing for Susan 🤗
Wonderful list Marie-Anne; I can say I do have each of those you mention. 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.
I loved you in those black earrings with the 'masculine' clothes ❤ total heart breaker!
Loved this video with your ' little adventure ' at the beginning.....My favourite perfume of choice is Amarige ( Givenchy)...love it.
Going through my wardrobe ( which currently i can't wear because of my weight ) I discovered not only a beautiful navy blazer...I may swap the navy buttons for metalic ones...but also a lovely cream silk blouse I forgot I had....so many lovely classic items I will have to wear when I reach my goal weight/size.!!!
God bless Marie -Anne and French chic ladies
Gilly
Hi Gilly: I know weight is hard to tackle, but I believe you can do it and before long you will be wearing your beautiful clothes again!
