“ You can go through life and make new friends every year - every month practically - but there was never any substitute for those friendships of childhood that survive into adult years. Those are the ones in which we are bound to one another with hoops of steel. ”
― Alexander McCall Smith, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.
“ Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another?
We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person's essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone? ”
― Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
There are two types of waiting. There’s the the waiting you do for something you know is coming, sooner or later—like waiting for the 6:28 train, or the school bus, or a party where a certain handsome boy might be. And then there’s the waiting for something you don’t know is coming. You don’t even know what it is exactly, but you’re hoping for it. You’re imagining it and living your life for it. That’s the kind of waiting that makes a fist in your heart.
— Martine Murray, How To Make a Bird
Style should always be personal. It's something built over years and years. Something, which is never fixated, and constantly evolving. I know I don't always shop for everything in the same place. I don't like to wear things that are 'trending' as well. I don't think you should follow trends. I prefer following my heart. I sometimes mix "cheap" clothes with high end clothing. I mix everything together. I always shop with an idea in my head of what I am looking for. What effect am I trying to create ? What look am I going for here? Whether it is a pattern or a colour, you can be sure I always have something on my mind. Sometimes, I go on pinterest to seek inspiration. However, I have a couple of inspirations gurus. For instance, I like how Lauren Conrad, Olivia Palermo, Shay Mitchell, Rachel Bilson or even Holland Rodden are dressed but doesn't mean I copy how they are dressed but I might pick one item similar or reproduce one of their style with my own personal touch.
Tangle teezer doesn't need any introduction. I think at this point everybody has at least heard about it. This brush comes from England - so they say. It is famous all around the world and used by so many people. I think on the blogger's world there are not many people who don't use it. However, it is not cheap. Considering its price I was quite reluctant but then my former brush was on pieces so I decided to buy the brush Tangle Teezer, the original. Shortly I will tell you what I think about this brush. Is it worth the hype?
I have decided to be a bit more optimistic. I had my hopes up and I let faillure bring me down. I am not a quitter or like they'd say on the tv show SCANDAL : ' ARE WE GLADITORS OR ARE WE BITCHES ? ' Well, I'm a gladiator. I don't give up easily. I needed to remind myself of it I guess. I am not doing very great in my university course at the moment but I am not giving up either. My intership in a primary school is almost over. It has been quite enlightening. Like probably almost everyone in their 20s I am struggling to find my path. Knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life is not an easy task. Anyway, I figured I would share with you what makes me happy on a daily basis. What make your life brighter?
This one was not an easy one. I decided to share with you the shops I like the most. Obviously, I'm always looking for new clothes but I've to be good lately. So I am trying to hold back a little on shopping. It's not easy. I'm a big shopping addict.
I thought it would be interesting to share with you four items of clothing that are my absolute favourite. They are 4 things I almost always wear on a daily basis. I hope you will enjoy this blog. Don't hesitate to share yours. I would love to know! See you soon lovebirds x
“ If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench.
First of all, I am a mac lover. Always been and probably always will. I have tried numerous products over the years. So far I've never been disappointed. My benefit gimme brow was empty so I decided to try the brow gel from MAC. I chose a shade a bit too dark but other than that I love it. However, the brush is a bit too big for me. It doesn't make it quick to apply for me as a result.
We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving. We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation.
As you might have noticed from previous blogs about mascara, I'm a beginner. I'm not very good at applying it or choosing one. One of my closest friends advised me to try one of the mascara from Gemey Maybelline.
I'm sorry for being shit at blogging this past month. I have no excuses. I have had a very busy month: lot of work to be done and a project for my future in progress. I have been thinking about blogging and if my blog has a purpose. Is my blog irrelevant? I don't know. Perhaps you could help me. However, I enjoy writing quite a bit. I have decided that my blog will now be written both in French and in English. Some of you might know that I'm French. I love writing in English but it has been underlined that blogging in both languages could be a good thing so I've decided to give it a try. I don't know if I will like it or not. We will see. I'm also planning on doing more "personal" post. Would you like that or not ? I hope to get a few feedbacks from you guys ♥♥
