Ode to My Fashion

(Very very old post found in my draft) Hello my dears! Today I want to talk about Fashion. Okay, it is not like I do not talk fashion on this blog on a regular basis. It is just that I want to talk about the fashion industry in general. Scarf - is actually a beach cover up Denim top - random shop near my house  Coral pink maxi skirt - random shop near my office  Shoes - Thrifted I have recently heard about Zac Posen going out of business. I am not really familiar with Zac Posen except from seeing him on Project Runaway and on the red carpet from time to time. But learning that he was closing just shocked me because for some reasons I always thought he was successful. I went on to watch a documentary about him on Netflix called "House of Z". I do not want to spoil it for you but it was heartbreaking.  As someone who wants to be a designer someday, watching a documentary on the rise and fall of Zac Posen freaked me out. Granted I do not know a lot about...

 Hello Hello! How is the "LOVE" month treating you so far? Personally I have no complaints. As I have decided to not entertain any idea of love or relationship in 2023, I am feeling better than ever. Since there is no goal at all, there is no pressure to attain said goal in a particular time frame.  Today I wanted to discuss something related to LOVE.  Bonjour bonjour! Comment le mois de l' AMOUR vous traite-t-ild donc? Personnellement je n'ai rien à redire. Comme j'ai décidé de n'entretenir aucune idée d'amour ou de relation en 2023, je me sens tellement mieux. Puisqu'il n'y a pas d'objectif du tout, il n'y a aucune pression pour atteindre ledit objectif dans un laps de temps particulier. Aujourd'hui, je voulais discuter de quelque chose lié à l'AMOUR. Entire outfit and shoes - Shop in Ouakam Tote bag - Numero Uno Ponty I have recently completed the third season of Emily in Paris, you know the famous Netflix show everyone loves to ...

 Hi again! I have decided to clean out my closet yet again. It might be the first time this year but I have done this excercise at least twice last year. It always feels good to purge and tidy up things. But afterwards I am a bit depressed. Let me explain! Re-bonjour! J'ai décidé de vider mon placard une fois de plus. C'est peut-être la première fois cette année, mais j'ai fait cet exercice au moins deux fois l'an dernier. Ça fait toujours du bien de purger et de ranger les choses. Mais après je suis un peu déprimée. Laissez-moi vous expliquer pourquoi! Turban - MoussorMa Dress - Maguichanel Shoes - Numero Uno Earrings - old, bought from a friend  Whenever I clean out my closet, I get rid of a lot of clothes. Those clothes are separated into three categories: the worn once clothes, the impossible to style clothes, and the ones that got too tight. The first catergory usually are clothes that I bought thinking of wearing them for parties, events or dates. And I never wear...

Hello there! How is the first month of 2023 treating you so far?  I am doing great. Today I want to discuss about something very special, something that is linked to mental health: emotions. Salut! Comment se passe le premier mois de 2023 pour vous ? Je vais très bien. Aujourd'hui, je veux discuter de quelque chose de très spécial, quelque chose qui est lié à la santé mentale : les émotions. Dress - Marwa Fashion Boutique Shoes - Zara via Numero Uno Bag - Gift  What are emotions? Simply put, emotions are reactions that any human being experiences in response to any given situation, such as fear, anger, joy, sadness, ect.  How we feel emotions but also express them can ve very generic but also highly subjective and personal. I do not express anger or joy the same way my 3 year old niece would. Funnily, we tend to evaluate a person's maturity based on how they control their emotions. My niece would jump for joy at seeing a lit christmas tree and that is considered to b...

 Hello Hello! Since 2020, I was craving a change in style. I found my style to be basic and uninspiring. I remember my co-workers telling me to remove my head scarf and opt for Beyoncé style wig. Other friends suggested I start dressing sexy. However tempting that maybe, I just could not. It is not necessarily for religious reasons. I know myself enough to know that I love being vain, and pretty and girly. But dressing sexy is not really who I am. And believe me I have tried.  Depuis 2020, j'avais envie d'un changement de look. Je trouvais mon style basique et sans intérêt. Je me souviens que mes collègues m'ont conseill é  d'enlever mon foulard et d'opter pour une perruque de style Beyoncé. D'autres amis m'ont suggéré de commencer à m'habiller sexy. Aussi tentant que cela puisse être, je ne pouvais tout simplement pas. Ce n'est pas nécessairement pour des raisons religieuses. Je me connais suffisamment pour savoir que j'aime être vaniteuse, joli...
