Hello Everyone!
This is what I wore to a trip to the mall yesterday. There's really nowhere to go except for the mall.
Anyway, I wore my black bolero, the first one I owned. Its really comfortable. And a black and white long blouse, also one on the first ones in my collection. It's designs are cute and classy. I've been in love to black and white ensembles. Its just too cute.
I wore my Natasha Jeans underneath. Its been a long time since I last wore it. It didn't fit me back then. I'm losing weight.
I also wore my polka dot Swatch watch, and aquamarine bracelet. I always wear them whatever ensemble I wear.
I paired this with my dark blue sandals, the same with what I wore in my last note.
Till next time!
Fashion Notes # 2
Book # 28 : Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
Anne of Green Gables is a bestselling novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908. It was written as fiction for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book. Montgomery found her inspiration for the book on an old piece of paper that she had written at a young age, describing a couple that were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit, clipped from an American magazine and pasted on the wall above her writing desk, as the model for Anne Shirley, the book's main character.
Since publication, Anne of Green Gables has sold more than 50 million books. In addition, this widely loved book is taught to students around the world.
One of the best books I have ever read. This book deeply touched my heart.Anne is now one of my idols, one that I would love to be when I am a little older. Montgomery is simply amazing. I thought this book will bore me, but I was so wrong. I found out that I was craving for more. I couldn't put the book down. I found Anne's raving and outbursts very interesting and funny. Gilbert's character amuses me. I love Anne's pride, very much like mine. Although I forgive rather easily. And Marilla is just wonderful. Especially Matthew too. They make up a very good pair, just like a real normal family. I couldn't stop myself from crying at the end of the book. It was very heart breaking.
I will forever treasure the lessons I learned from Anne. It such a short time I grew fond of all the characters, like they were my own family. This is the best classic I have ever read, and I hope that other readers will also uncover the treasures I have found in this book. Something that no money can buy, something that I will never forget and will always keep in mind and heart : LOVE.
Book # 29 : Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice", which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it, the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this, she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband. With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, "Pride and Prejudice" has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.
Splendid. Jane Austen is a genius.
At first, I was barely wading through the words. The pages were dragging. I can barely relate to the story. But, by the half of the novel, where Mr. Darcy proposed to Elizabeth, I can't put the book down! It took a while before I got the hang of the story, but it was definitely worth it! Everybody's characters were well thought of, and their dialogues were very interesting. Austen's wit is extraordinary. This is definitely the best classic out there!
I definitely admire Mr. Darcy! If there really is a man like him out there, I'll search for him! LOL What made him even more admirable is that he can be real! Even though he is entirely fictional, his traits and characteristics are practical. And all of the characters and the plot for that matter! Austen can make a simple event such as Lizzy's and Mr. Darcy's story into something very alluring.
I'll certainly read all of Jane Austen's works! Long Live Pride and Prejudice!!!
Fashion Notes # 1
Well, hello everyone! I've started Fashion Notes, so that I can post all my passions in this blog, and surely, one of them is Style and Fashion!
The one in the pic is what I wore one time when we went to the mall. I've made it my priority to never wear the same ensemble twice. Shopping is one of my hobbies, so its not really that hard since I own two closets full of my clothes! No kidding!
Right now, I'm in love with Long blouses, I don't really know the term, but I call it "Maternity Dresses". They hide my tummy. Its not really very flat. I bought that green one at a Sale. Its really cute isn't it? It hides your tummy, but still shows your curves. I paired it with my dark blue "bolero", and the contrast of colors is gorgeous! Got that at Sale too! 70% off! I always raid sales, I save a lot of money!
I always wear that jeans. It goes great with anything! It hugs my thighs and legs beautifully. I've owned that jeans for a long time now.
I just bought the sandals recently. Its very cute. I'm having a hard time finding shoes nowadays, since the size of my feet is 10. Even bigger than my mom's.
The bag is adorable. It doesn't choose. Very flexible. Its made of velvet. I'm just loving it.
Well, as for my hair, that's always the style of it. Either its loose, or in a pony tail.
Until my next post!
