My Dream Travel To Paris

                                                 My Dream Travel To Paris

I just finished watching Julie and Julia and Ratatouille. They're both movies that are located in France and it just makes me want to go there so badly, mainly Paris though. But then I start thinking about the prices for hotel and flight ticket and extra money for shopping... WHY MUST EVERYTHING BE SO EXPENSIVE!!!!!! 

I want to visit the Eiffel Tower so badly! Look at the beautiful blue sky and greenery surrounding it! Ha~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The main reason I really want to visit there is the food and fashion. My cousin went there before and just couldn't stop talking about how all the clothes there were so cute or how all the food tasted amazing. I never really

wanted to visit any designer store like Prada, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, etc. I'm not looking for anything big because I'm not rich and I know designer brand stuff are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. I prefer a small shopping district or flea markets. I find antiques and vintage stuff so much more interesting and 

worth buying than expensive 
clothing that I'll probably 
only wear once 
because it's so 
expensive and 
knowing me I 
wouldn't want to ruin it.

I don't know if I ever mentioned this but I ADORE reading and this bookstore is my dream. I've seen this bookstore in a Hong Kong drama call Triumph in the Skies. I instantly became in love with the bookstore. I always thought it was just a fake store used for the drama but then I did some research and found out it was actually a real bookstore that let's people sleep there on beds! If I ever get to go to Paris, I definitely need to go to Shakespeare and Company. 

I would really love to go to a Parisian café  and just enjoy a cup of coffee and a croissant like in the movies. I would also love to go to restaurants to taste what true French cuisine is like. I've eaten a lot of food based on it and I also made a few but none of them ever tasted like what I would expect. Maybe I'm expecting too much... 

I know a lot of people think that escargot looks disgusting and sounds unappetizing because it translate into English as snail but I really want to try them. I've eaten them before but not the French way. I also want to try some 

French pastries. I made crème brulee and macaroons before but only those. I've eaten mille-feuille, chou-crème, éclair, tarte and some other pastries. They all tasted AMAZING but I still want to try the pastries made in Paris. Look at that picture! Don't they seem so delicious! 

Basically what I want to do in Paris is to eat and shop for antiques, clothes and books. Oh! Definitely cannot forget to mention sightseeing. Anyways.... J'ai réalisé que j'avais pas mal de lecteurs en France donc je veux vraiment remercier tous mes lecteurs français. J'adore Paris et un jour, j'aimerais visiter ce merveilleux ville. Merci d'avoir lu mon blog et je vais vous voir sur mon prochain post!

Thanks for reading my blog and I'll see you on my next post!

Halloween's Over But Christmas' Here!

                      Winter is coming!!!

Winter is one of the most beautiful season. The trees covered with snow, Christmas lights, bunch of snowmen and snow angels everywhere! Most important the SNOW! It gets annoying when there's too much but the first few days of snow are extremely beautiful! Just look at the picture above! Isn't it beautiful! Even with the piles of snow.

The beginning of winter is just around the corner so it means it is time to take out or buy some winter clothes! Winter is all about sweaters, fuzzy coats, boots, scarfs and well everything that keeps you warm! So instead of wasting money, why not reuse some old stuff and do some DIY to make awesome new clothing? Here's an awesome video on how to reuse and renew your old sweaters!
       

Make sure to check out Bethany Mota's awesome channel: Macbarbie07. She has a lot of great DIYs and decoration videos.

Like every season, there are a bunch of must haves. For winter you will definitely need a warm coat unless it's hot where you live. The picture on the right is one of my favourites. I believe it is called a trench coat. Correct me if I'm wrong. 

Boots are great not only for Fall but also for winter! Uggs were surprisingly in last year but I find them quite ugly when wet. For those who pass winter with snow storms and freezing wind, make sure to keep your toes warm with a pair of nice winter boots. I adore Sorel's winter boots!

Knit scarves are my favorite! They are so warm and not only that, you can knit it yourself! I'm knitting one right now! Hope I can finish it before the snow falls! 

Anyways, I don't know why I am doing a post on winter at the end of October. I'm in an extreme Christmas mood. I already set up my tiny Christmas tree and I'm watching Michael Buble's Home for the Holidays 2012 Christmas Special. I really don't know why. Sadly this year I won't be able to spend a white Christmas because I'll be in Los Angeles. I love LA but I'm just so use to the cold white Christmas. Anyway, I hope you readers are getting into the holiday spirits! I hope you guys all have a wonder weekend!

                Also forgot to mention...
               ~  Happy Halloween! ~

Halloween Is here!

                    Halloween is here!

I failed my "2 posts a month". I'm disappointed in myself. School started in the late August and exams began right after so I was just too busy to write any posts but exams are finished and I have more time so I'll continue my "2 posts a month" thing. 

So in October my favourite song automatically becomes This is Halloween by Danny Elfman. It is a soundtrack from Nightmare before Christmas. 

It's more of a Christmas movie but it's still a great movie for Halloween. To tell you the truth I find most Tim Burton movies great for Halloween because it appeals to kid just as much to adults. Of course some of the movie which lean more to horror won't appeal to kids but for adults horror movies are PERFECT for Halloween. I'm easily terrified so horror movie are no good for me but I still do love movies with a darker vibe.

One thing I hate about Halloween is that every girl try to dress as slutty as possible. Last year when I went costume shopping, most of the costumes for girls and women were showing more than necessary. Like how does a female pirate become a stripper? Seriously?! It's even happening for kids! I remember witches wearing old black rags as clothing and not purple tutus and a black off the shoulder dress. I always thought Halloween costumes were suppose to be scary as possible and not as slutty as possible. But whatever, that's just my opinion.

This year I don't think I'll be dressing up. I'm not even sure if I'll go trick or treating which I really enjoying because I get free candy! This year around where I live, Halloween spirit is practically gone. Barely any decorations has been put up, there's barely any being sold! I really hope kids can enjoy the Halloween that we use to have in the "old days". Hey! I'm still young so the "old days" weren't actually that long ago. Anyways, this will be all to the Halloween post. I'll post some of my favourite Halloween tutorial videos below so check them out. The videos do not belong to me but to the awesome youtuber who made them so please make sure to check out all their other videos.

Back To School Preparations!

                   Back to School!

Summer vacation's over and you know what that means. Time to go back to school! The beginning of the year is EXTREMELY important. This is when you have to make a good first impression to the teachers. If not, you're not going to have a good school year. Make sure to have everything prepared so you don't need run back and forth from the store during the school year. Unless that's what you want to do... Anyways, I'm going to show you some videos for great back to school outfits and some great ideas for school supplies.

              Back To School Fashion!

I don't about you guys but I really enjoy having different clothes for a new school year. Sadly I'm not able to afford new clothes every year so I reuse my old clothes and do some cutting and sewing and I have something new and different. Here are some videos on ways to recycle your old clothes to make better ones.

                Simple Knee Length Skirt to 
                  Cute Asymmetrical Skirt

                       Plain Shirt to
                    Simple Gradient Vest    

          

                         Tanks to 
              Lace Sweetheart Top 

             Normal Sweater/Top to 
            Cute Printed Sweater/Top 

                  Cute Bracelet
 (This has nothing to do with reusing anything        but it's cute for back to school)

          Back To School Decorating

Most school supplies are plain, if not too colorful. So instead of buying expensive ones that match your tastes, you can just buy plain ones and decorate it yourself. Also, school lockers are usually very ugly on the outside and inside so at least what we can do is make it prettier inside right? Here are some DIYs and locker decorating tips for school.


            Decorating and Organizing Your Locker

                       DIY Bookmarks

                          Dull to 
                         Cute Pens 

                    Pen Pocket Notebook

                   Personalized Notebook

I hope all of you students this post helpful. This DIYs aren't very expensive and very cute. All of these videos were easy to understand and really well made thanks to these great YouTubers. I hope everybody has a great school year and make sure to make a great first impression!   Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ
           

Independence Day!

                                                          The Fourth Of July!!!

Tomorrow's the Fourth of July! YAY! Time to go to out and celebrate with everybody else! Well sadly I'm can't go since I live in Canada but I did celebrate Canada Day!

This post will probably be a lot better and a lot shorter than the one for Canada Day because I'm going to post video from YouTube for outfits for the 4th of July. Of course this way I don't need to explain much since it's already explained in the videos!

                           Nails!

Another great tutorial by Cutepolish! I love her videos! Anyway, the nail art is extremely easy! Simply draw stripes and stick stars on your nails, not that hard. Unless your hands shake a lot when you're doing your nails. 

                           Outfits!

                                              

ClothesEncounters' outfit video is just amazing! Her outfits are really cute and very simple! Plus she explains perfectly well why she chose them and what she paired them with. Unlike me who can barely explain something properly. XD

                                    

I love these shorts! They look so awesome! Since this is a DIY it may not look as good as the ones in store(sometimes better than the ones in store) but at least you can change it to however you like it! Plus they're probably cheaper than the ones in store.

Wow! This post is a lot shorter than the previous one. Maybe because I didn't have much to write about since the video explained everything. Anyways lets end this post with the USA's nation anthem!

                                       

           

CANADA DAY IS HERE!

                     Great Ideas for Canada Day!

Tomorrow is finally Canada Day! Is anybody going to the carnival, events, firework show or parades? If you are then here are some great things you can wear or make for Canada Day!

                             Nails!

                                         

Here's a nail art tutorial by Luvablenails. The red maple leaf and the beaver, isn't that enough to know that these nails are representing Canada?! Sadly they're a bit hard for those who can't draw on their nails.

Now this one is much more easier than the one above. This tutorial is made by Cutepolish. Her design is much more simpler than the one by Luvablenails. Even though it's just a red heart and some red and white nails, you can immediately recognize that it represents Canada. 

                        Accessories!

Nothing can go wrong with wearing a bracelet with a Canadian flag! You can wear it whenever you like! This bracelet is really just a sign of how we are proud to be Canadians or it can be a great souvenir for tourists! XD

I found this ring while I was searching for rings online and WOW! I love this ring! It's a maple leaf that wraps around your finger. The design is simple so it can match any outfit.

When I searched up necklaces for Canada Day, all I found was those Canadian flag tag necklaces. It wasn't cute at all. So instead I decided to search up maple leaf necklaces. A red maple leaf is one of the best ways to represent Canada right? Well this necklace is just a simple red maple leaf so I thought it wold be great for Canada Day. But personally I think this necklace is best during Autumn.

Well I really don't have much else to show you guys for Canada Day except for this awesome version of Canada's national anthem by Classified!

                                 

Have a great day tomorrow to all of the Canadians and of course to everybody else!

SUMMER IS HERE!!!!!

                   Awesome Summer Outfits

Summer is finally here! YAY! The terribly hot weather and the blazing sun mean it's finally time to take out those shorts and dresses! Well this only concerns those who live in cold and hot places like Canada but if you live in California... You're likely to never feel cold. (≧∇≦)

So today I am going to introduce you to one of my favorite fashion YouTuber and show you some awesome DIY for summer outfits! So let's start!

               Clothesencounters

Clothesencounters is a fashion YouTuber like I said in the beginning. Her name is Jenn Im. She is Korean American meaning her parents are Korean but she was born and raised in the US. 

Her videos are mainly just about fashion. She doesn't have much tutorials or anything but she has so many ideas for outfits. She shows us a lot of types of clothing and ways to coordinate them. Her style is very unique so it inspires me a lot.

Here's a video one of her video for Summer outfits.

              Summer Fashion DIYs

So during the Summer most of us girls tend to wear more shorts and dresses right? Some of us prefer to wear tights underneath our dresses or shorts to shows less skin or is that just me? Anyways, I wanted to introduce you guys to the Harajuku fashion trend Tattoo Tights. 

They seem like tattoos but they're not. It's just a print on a clear tight! Sadly there's not many stores in North America that sells Tattoo Tights. Maybe there are but not where I live since not many people actually know about this trend. Of course you could always buy it online but for those who like to save as much money as possible then here's an awesome DIY.

           

Easy right? Just make sure not to choose a complicated print cause it's going to be very hard and it'll take a lot of time.

From time to time I miss wearing long jeans during the summer. It's just so comfortable but it'll be too hot to wear! But likely, one day I found this awesome DIY on a Korean fashion trend. I don't really know what it's called but it's very cute. It's a pair of jeggings or jeans that has cut outs of bows.

                                   

It's actually quite simple but hopefully not too hard for those who aren't good at these types of DIYs. Only bad things is that you might get a weird looking tan on your legs. XD

Anyway, this is the end of post. I hope you guys will try one of these DIYs and be inspired for your awesome Summer outfits! I will be making a post for Canada day outfits and Independence day outfits in July so make sure to check them out! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ
