7. What’s your favorite book? 

I have too many favourites... why must you make me choose???

My top two are Popular by Gareth Russell and the Millenium Series by Stieg Larsson. 

Yes, I know that they're completely oppostite, but I suppose that just compliments my personality: The fact that I'm always contradicting myself.

Oxblood. Russet. Burgundy. 

Or in simple terms, a dark, rich red.

No. What kind of question is this?

13. Have you been out of the country?

I don't mean to brag *repressed smug smile*. I'm kidding. Guys I'm humble. I swear.

14. Do you speak any other languages?

I'm learning french in high school (does that count?). And let me tell you, my french is atrocious. 

So I guess that's a no.

Wait, excluding my background language, which I shan't disclose due to privacy reasons *insert fancy schmancy British Accent*. Other than that, I just speak plain old English.

Yes. 2 sisters. It can be hell, but I don't think I can imagine a life without them.

General Pants & Co., Portmans or Sportsgirl. (Aussie Brands).

Grunge Is (S)in: Welcome to the Dark Side

Let me jump straight in:
I'm really into the grunge look. I don't know where this new fascination has stemmed from, but I am obsessed.

Those tattoo chokers being seen everywhere? Yup. J'adore.

Can I just say, I love the pastel hair.

Denim Jackets? Yes please.

Doc Martens and Chunky chelsea boots... Seems like the staple grunge footwear.

In terms of hairstyles, I love rockin' those double hair buns. And cornrows. 2edgy4me.

Of course, a grunge look just isn't complete without some sexy smudged eyeliner.

LOVE the dishevelled hair. 

This is so unexpected, can I just say.  I've always felt grunge was too hard-core for me.
I guess the look I'm going for is Soft-Core?
Here are some pictures that I look to as inspiration:

There will be more grunge posts. After all, I am just a newbie.

 On a final note:

I'm joking. I love you guys,

Amelie

Paris Fashion Week Spring 2015: Chloé

The Chloé runway looks that have just come out are amazing. Flowy, feminine and romantic, they stay true to the Chloé aesthethic. Most of my favourite pieces were the dresses and blouses. 

Heaven. 
(Here's an obligatory artsy cloud picture.)

My favourite looks: 

Flowy, bohemian blouse. That's a staple piece for me.

Gorgeous poncho + Those gladiators. 

This is just divine. 

Look at that dress. Look at it. 

I can't fault it in any way.

Another gorgeous crochet dress.

Slightly revealing, very scintillating. 

J'adore.

Bisous
