Do you like wearing high-heel shoes?

图片
Yes I do. Infact most of the shoes I own are heels . ( Though I am into sneakers and loafers these days) People often ask me questions like, ‘ How are you comfortable in them?’ ; ‘Does it not hurt?’ ; ‘ Do you wear heels because you are insecure about your height?’ I just laugh it off and I tell them, I wear heels because I love wearing them.Simple. Yes, I am comfortable in them, yes it does not hurt, and no I am not i secure about my height. I am pretty tall for a 19 year old girl. I love heels because somehow they make me feel strong. When I put them on, I feel upright and independent. Might seem quite stupid, but that is how I feel. I know there must be others who feel the same. So, to answer your question, yes I do LOVE wearing high-heels .

Wearing a  little black dress  with no jewelry at all is the must of the must for French people, but you must pick the right dress. Find a dress that fits perfectly under the knees, pair it with simple black stilettos, and throw your hair in an up-do to create an incredible look. Complete the look with red lipstick and a few drops of luxury perfume. Ohlala! What are you showing with this look? You are showing yourself, your image, your body, your shoulders and your neck. You are the WOMAN with mystery and style. Now, find another dress, pair it with a lot of jewelry and become a  golden girl . Complete the look with the perfect makeup, shoes and bag. What are you showing with this look? Your jewelry, the “bling.” You are hiding your true self. Don’t let the jewels misinterpret your allure. I am writing this because I am a Parisian woman, but after all, Fashion is influenced by our  cultures.  So, what my culture says is  “elegant”  could be...

Would you buy more handbags if they were more affordable?

When I first started buying handbags , I was mesmerized by how well many of them were designed: multiple inside pockets, some of them with zippers, hidden pockets in some where important ID cards or documents (or cash) can be stored. Adjustable straps. Ornate hardware on the outside. Basically a dream bag like this one which I own myself: Or this one: Although money is not the limiting factor with my purchasing handbags like the ones above (though the top one, by Rebecca Minkoff, was originally $300 USD) I decided that it’s better to own a couple of key handbags that are versatile, rather than buying dozens. If you follow fashion bloggers, some of them will say the same thing: It’s better to save up and purchase a single designer bag that will last a lifetime and be passed down from one generation to the next, rather than buying a slew of bags that end up spending more time in your closet than on your shoulder . Take this bag for example: It costs a small fortun...

How do you match street style outfits with accessories?

Street style, by definition, is a grassroots movement which includes casual garments mixed in a lighthearted way with “ what’s happening on the street and is thus constantly evolving ” — “It is possible to isolate a few general principles of streetwear, however. First of all, it is usually centered upon casual, comfortable pieces such as jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and sneakers. It is also influenced by hip-hop and skateboarding styles as well as 1980s nostalgia, and often features bold colors, graphic prints, and retro designs and logos. “Many streetwear clothing enthusiasts hold that the movement emerged in the late 20th century as a reaction to mass-produced “mall” style. While it took some of its inspiration from existing hip-hop and skateboarding fashions, the early streetwear clothing movement also offered its participants a chance to express their individuality by adding light-hearted, quirky, or avant-garde pieces to the styles that preceded it.”  So how to mat...

Why am I obsessed with women in nylons or stockings?

Everyone has their own preference, niche, or (dare I say) fetish. There is probably a psycho-semantic reason for any preference really, uniquely tailored to each person from their well of specific life experiences…but as far as fetishes go; the welcome sight of a woman in pantyhose is rather vanilla. Pantyhose is 100% feminine, therefore the wearer is guaranteed to attract someone who enjoys woman that are sophisticated and sexy. Also pantyhose is one of the few acceptable garments that is both seen out of the skirt on her legs and not seen underneath the skirt . ·          It's both outerwear  and   underwear . So it's no wonder that it's appreciated. It's pleasant to look at and carries with it the air of mystery as well. Relax. It's perfectly natural to appreciate it.

What is the difference between lingerie and a bikini? Why do girls feels exposed in lingerie but not in a bikini?

图片
For me, the big difference is the intended outcome. When wearing a bikini , you can expect to get wet. While wearing lingerie , you expect to get laid. Girls feel exposed in see-through lingerie because their entire body is on display. In a bikini their most intimate parts are covered. And in many if not most cases, a bikini is worn in public where other women are wearing something similar. None of these women are expecting men to approach them and undress them at a swimming pool or on the beach. Lingerie is typically worn behind closed doors. Women wear lingerie because in many cases they are  hoping  that men will undress them. These are vastly different expectations.

What screams “I’m a tourist!” in your country?

Not my country but I’ve been living here for a while, Colombia: ·          Well one big thing that screams tourist is being 1.86m tall, white, blonde and blue eyed, like me. Took me a while to get, what people mean when they call me “mono”. Learnt it when the young boy from the family I was living with started calling me “tío mono”, and his grandmother laughing her ass of about my confusion being called “uncle monkey”, until she revealed to me that mono also means blonde in Colombia. :) ·          Calling the country Col u mbia. ·          Men wearing shorts in non coastal cities. It is just not a thing here if you are older than 14. ·          Asking the bus driver or seat neighbor every ten seconds “Are we there yet?” I’m very guilty of that one as well. ·          Walking int...
