Shadowing Practice: 20 things i find very chic (with inspo) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Okay, let's begin our meditation.

I'm just kidding.

I just like to get the vibes right before I start filming.

We've got my herbal tea.

Normally, I'm a chamomile girl through and through.

But today, we're doing a loose leaf hibiscus, spearmint, nettle.

This is a really good combination for menstrual cycle.

But that may or may not be very chic.

so that's not really what we're here to talk about.

I've been talking a lot about my fashion, even interior design, rebrand of myself over this past year,

possibly even these past couple of years.

And with that, I've been thinking a lot about the things that I find very chic.

It wasn't really a purposeful thought at first.

At first, it was just like, I really enjoy this.

This is very chic.

And along the route of me discovering my personal style, I realized chic is definitely a part of that like I enjoy things

that are very chic I definitely have seen like people posting videos kind of talking about this

but I've tried my best to stay away from watching them for the most part

because I wanted to have like my own idea of what I find chic I did watch one just

because I was like what is this about like what are we talking about and then

when I watched it I was like I really enjoy this I wish I could remember this creator

but I think this is the first time

that I came across them I have three categories today the first category I have is fashion.

A good thing to start with so you understand how I see chic is to tell you my definition of chic.

When I think of chic it's definitely something that feels elevated, something that feels true to you,

but it also has a touch of like imperfection.

Chic to me feels elevated, but at the same time lived in.

Like it feels realistic and so that is how I see chic.

To put it in words that I feel like is really popular right now and I feel like everybody will understand, it's not like the the prim and proper old money look like

that is that's not the look that comes to mind

when i think of chic like at all and not

that i think it's a bad style

but chic oh it's interesting i think that's what it is like

when something is chic there's a hint of interest there and

when there's interest i feel like something is always off

but in a good way i really hope that makes sense

and you can see it a completely different way

and i think that's what makes you know your chic chic is

because like you see it differently from other people i feel

like it's a person who rewears the same pieces over

and over again so number one on the list rewearing the same pieces over

and over i can tell you obviously i've very much matured

as far as life goes as far as fashion goes since i started this channel

because old me would have never ever let

that come out of her mouth i was definitely a believer in

if i'm going to show up on instagram on youtube in real life I can't wear the same outfit again.

Everybody needs to be wowed by something completely new, something completely different, and I do not feel this way at all anymore.

When I think of the most chic people like in history, in fashion, in social media,

it's always the people that I feel like have a consistent look about them.

And a lot of times this look is very consistent because they probably wear the same pieces over and over again.

They've kind of allowed these pieces to be kind of a signature for them, kind of like a second skin.

They wear them so much.

I think there really is just something about re-wearing the same piece over and over again, especially if it's a really good piece.

Next on my list, I have silver jewelry.

I feel like silver is kind of having its moment right now.

I think gold is a nice color and it comes in really nice pieces.

I feel like gold probably has the more abundant choices because I think it's the more popular pick.

But when I think of silver jewelry, I just think of like kind of mysterious,

sometimes even edgy, but very often very elevated.

Okay, next on my list is lesser known or not as popular vintage handbags.

The bags that typically stop me dead in my tracks are not like the Birkin bag

that you already know what it is you see it a

million times chanel bag like it's got the cc i have a chanel bag it's not

that one it is those bags

that are mostly just whispered about like everybody's not like screaming

to the top of the mountain doing unboxings of them

and it might be my specific algorithm

but i have just been coming across bags like this

so much on pinterest the air of mystery to them

that they are not talked about so much

but also to their core these are really gorgeous bags i don't know

if I was really ever the person that just really wanted the bag

that everybody was talking about there were some bags

that everybody was talking about I'm like yeah I do like this bag I would like this bag but

that was not the only criteria for me to want a

bag I would say I've kind of always been drawn to the more like vintage bags

but maybe not always the lesser known ones

but there's just something about number one a vintage bag it looks lived in someone already did the dirty work for you.

I feel like we've already been doing this and I really appreciate like

that everybody's just getting into like the lesser known maybe not the most popular bag on the internet secondhand vintage bags.

You do not have to spend a million dollars on a bag to look very chic.

In fact you might look more chic if you don't.

Next on my list I feel like this one is very obvious for me but elevated cozy wear.

Obviously.

Does anyone remember or like are you still going through that era of wearing college t-shirts to bed.

I know I definitely did that for years.

I had a drawer specifically full of random t-shirts

that I acquired from sports in high school and college games

and things like that and those are the things that I would wear around the house.

Those are the things that I would go to sleep in and I let go of those like a few years ago.

I can count on one hand how many t-shirts

that I have like that just you know for comfort or you know when I'm feeling really like that day.

I may put it on.

But for the most part nowadays, it's second nature for me to walk around in a house like this very often.

It may not always match, but I probably always have on like some type of elevated loungewear.

I feel like one of the better things you can do

to get the most out of life is really romanticize those little things.

And what better way?

What better way than to elevate the things that you wear the most?

100

Next on my list and this one kind of intertwines with the silver jewelry, but it doesn't have to be silver Arm cuffs are

101

so cheap to me I think it also just speaks to the fact

102

that i've really always loved the boho look

103

and style I started dabbling into that look when I was in college

104

But I always thought like if you're gonna go boho, you've got to go full boho

105

And that's really just not the case Like you can add little touches

106

and one of those boho touches that I really enjoy are the arm cuffs

107

I feel like they're really so versatile and you can do so much with them.

108

They can be elevated.

109

They can be very laid back.

110

I love to throw an arm cuff on with like a big boxy t-shirt, but like the next day if I have like a date night,

111

I'll have like a long slinky dress on with an arm cuff.

112

I recently went on a vacation and with a lot of my swimwear, I would wear like my arm cuff bracelets.

113

I really also like that they're bendable.

114

So if you don't want to wear them like right here you can also wear them like higher up

115

or like right here you can mix and match them mix

116

and match the colors i just love things that you can do

117

so much with the variations

118

that you can have with them you can go like higher end tiffany

119

and co and get those but you can also find them like vintage

120

or like handmade on etsy which i think is very beautiful to find something

121

that someone you know put in their hard work crafted for you so chic.

122

My tea has finished.

123

That's perfect.

124

I'm not gonna lie.

125

I feel like this next one, it's a little annoying with me, but I have to be honest.

126

I have to share my truth.

127

But there's not many people I feel like that would disagree.

128

And I think that's why it's, it might be annoying for me to say it because it's like, yeah, girl, we all feel this way.

129

Very chic to me.

130

the olsens obviously the row the olsens i personally am not buying the row

131

but i love to watch their fashion shows

132

and save their clothes for inspo when i see a piece

133

that i'm like i might need to just have

134

that i might invest if i feel like i can really like wear

135

that thing into the ground

136

but i also just love seeing their streetwear themselves you can see like it really aligns with their brand

137

which is really really cool to me their brand looks like them it just feels very authentic

138

when it is done that way

139

but I think what I appreciate about the Olsens the most

140

yes they they dress really cool they wear like these really high-end things their brand is really expensive

141

but I think what I enjoy about it is it's always

142

practical whenever you see them you don't think why in the world would you wear

143

that here always feels very natural and that's what I like it doesn't feel forced

144

and I think that is just so chic like you can tell they're very themselves

145

when it comes to fashion

146

but somehow they all just always look really cool their outfits

147

i feel like aren't something where a lot of people would

148

be like wow i've never seen anything like this before

149

but i feel like it always looks elevated

150

but also always fits the activity like they're wearing something comfortable

151

that makes sense and i think that's what makes it cool they're just being real

152

but still looking like really elevated

153

while doing it next up on my chic list basic outfits

154

with statement accessories you'll hear me talk about my previous style

155

and how i styled over the years a lot

156

and it took me a really long time to feel comfortable in a basic bare minimum outfit

157

and the reason being and one of you actually put this best i read in my comments

158

that you too were changing your style you didn't feel confident in moving in

159

that direction because you were used to being the girl where everybody's like i love your outfit like you're

160

so original you don't dress like anybody else out there and

161

that is so cool when i tell you i resonated with

162

that comment like crazy i have learned i'm sorry i do

163

like to wear more basic outfits i will wear a big white t-shirt white jeans

164

and call it a day

165

but i will say as i've been building my capsule wardrobe for myself i can't leave it there

166

so i love a very bare outfit like very unimpressive

167

when you add those statement impressive accessories like a really cute belt

168

that you just put on top of your jeans as i was mentioning like the cuffs earlier

169

or one thing i really like to do like for spring

170

and summer a hair scarf i think that is just so chic

171

because i don't know it just doesn't feel very try hard to me they always come off very fashionable

172

but they never come off as like this person is uncomfortable i look back at my old self

173

and my like outstanding outfits and it's like oh yeah cool it was edgy

174

but like i never looked comfortable

175

and i feel like that's where we lost like the sheet

176

dare i say i feel like these are some of the most fashionable people the people

177

that have like the base style

178

but they know how to just add these minuscule things to

179

really make an impressive outfit they don't need a statement pair of pants they know how to accessorize

180

and i love that another thing

181

that i've really been loving gravitating to i have not accomplished this yet

182

so to those who have wow i'm very impressed with you

183

an elevated ring stack the perfect curation of rings on your

184

finger i feel like i'm going through this phase right now where i'm trying to build my ring collection

185

and i think it's really going to take me longer than i thought just

186

because i really want to get high quality rings

187

that is a good way to make me jealous to see a woman in rings

188

and it just looks like she's worked on that ring collection.

189

Everything just fits her flawlessly.

190

They're all different patterns or possibly textures

191

or possibly even metals like it's mixed metals yet they look like they were always meant to be together.

192

I'm working on it myself.

193

I think it's going to take many years many at least

194

a decade probably before I can say like I have the perfect ring stack.

195

This is something I have discovered I really love and I think it's just my most favorite type of thing to wear.

196

High neck tops to me are just so chic.

197

The epitome of chic.

198

Don't take a shot every time I say chic because you will be going to the hospital.

199

But I think I discovered this when I discovered I was really drawn to turtlenecks

200

and I think I've known this for many years

201

but since like honing in on my personal style these past

202

couple of years i was really like yeah i really really like turtlenecks

203

but what i learned from liking turtlenecks

204

and how i look with like a sleek back like bun the high neck turtleneck is

205

that i just like high neck cuts in general i just think they are

206

so elegant i feel like people are always telling me all the time thank you for being

207

so elegant and modest

208

and i'm like i'm not really purposely trying to be modest i'm just really drawn to a high neck

209

and I think it just comes off as that.

210

I don't really mind.

211

I think it's very pretty, but any high neck top, like even when it comes down to my t-shirts, I will wear a v-neck t-shirt,

212

but it's not the thing that I feel like the most comfortable and confident in.

213

I don't feel like it's as me to wear one, but a super high neck cut crew neck tee, my favorite thing.

214

If I want to show a lot of skin, there's a good chance I'm going to find a top that has like the high neck in the front,

215

but like the entire back out that's my dream combination the next thing

216

that i find very very chic is dressing for the occasion i touched on this a little bit

217

when i was talking about the olsen's why i love their

218

style why i love their fashion what i didn't touch on

219

is the reason i really love their style is it never

220

comes off as costume like it always fits where they're going where they're at

221

and there's just something about that to me

222

that is very chic i feel like we have come to an era in fashion

223

and we probably just circled back to it again i'm sure it's been a thing in the past

224

but where it's become really cool you're not a cool fashion girl

225

if you're not wearing things that don't go together

226

and it's very random and you're not showing up to like i don't know walmart

227

and super low-rise pants a super bralette top

228

and like platform boots i'm literally explaining to you like how I used to dress

229

and the thing about that that was really cool

230

if you would have placed me at an event outside you know like a party

231

and drinks and stuff I think that's really click for me

232

when I saw somebody talking about the hunter rain boots

233

and someone wore them to a festival like a really really hot festival

234

but they said their inspiration was kind of like of a

235

vintage inspiration I think it was a celebrity who wore her

236

like hunter boots to a festival the difference was one person

237

had their hunter boots on at a hot festival there was

238

not going to be any rain their feet were not going

239

to be messy they were just going to be melting in some rubber boots

240

and the original person who did it the festival

241

that they went to is known for being very muddy very

242

messy like you wouldn't want to wear like your nice shoes

243

there you wouldn't want to wear platform heel boots a rain boot really makes sense

244

and that's what made it look so chic i feel like sometimes

245

when we try to do edgy

246

and cool sometimes it can come off as a little try hard

247

if it is in the wrong setting and so that's just something

248

that I've been trying to think about when I get dressed and I haven't perfected it yet.

249

There's something to be said about outfits that fit the occasion and that can be said for dressing down or dressing up.

250

We made it to the home category of things that I find very chic.

251

I've been putting a lot more thought into the idea of interiors

252

since moving into the apartment I live in now just

253

because the last apartment I lived in

254

which was the first apartment I ever lived in by myself

255

and I didn't want to come with a lot and also

256

that apartment really didn't give me any flexibility to do

257

that much to be honest

258

but this one I feel like it's really allowed me to play around with like my personal interior design style

259

and that's been really fun some of the things that I've learned

260

that I really really enjoy I think they're very chic

261

when it comes to home decor number one random

262

and frequent book stacks not everybody enjoys that look

263

and I know this because it's something that I do in my apartment

264

and I will show like my decor and like how I'm decorating something

265

and I've gotten several people to tell me you know you

266

should take those books down you should hide the books behind

267

a chair you should take the books out of the fireplace

268

mantle area it's it's not cute it's not getting what you thought it gave girl feels very warm

269

and cozy to me it makes me feel like it's the real library

270

because the real library doesn't match it's not color-coded it's not

271

perfectly stacked all the books aren't new they have their quirks

272

and i really like that i don't know what is

273

that called if anybody knows what that's called like why i like

274

that let me know

275

but in my head right now i just think it's very chic maybe that's weird

276

but i love it

277

if the girls get it they get it next on my

278

home list catch all dishes i'm honestly a person that's not really good at attention to detail

279

but one thing i started noticing as i was planning like my home boards my pinterest boards

280

when i saw flat lays that i really enjoyed dressers and desks and vanities that I really liked.

281

I noticed probably all of them had catch-all dishes.

282

They come in so many different shapes and sizes, art forms.

283

You can make them yourself.

284

You can buy them from an artist.

285

You can find vintage ones.

286

It's a way to organize those random things

287

that you have in your home that you don't really have a place for in a beautiful way.

288

And I think that is just so chic.

289

I don't have much to say about that one.

290

I feel like it speaks for itself.

291

Next, Mixing vintage and new inside of your home.

292

I do think this is something that is becoming more popular And I really love to see it.

293

I feel like we're getting away from the white washing of the home Everything being super modern my home.

294

You're probably looking at the background You're like you have a lot of white going on for sure

295

And I used to have way more white going on like the pillows.

296

They were not dark velvety green in my last apartment I don't think I had art with any color in it.

297

Like I still am a very toned down person when it comes to interior design.

298

I don't like bold bright colors but I do like kind of like muted earth tone colors like greens, vintage blues.

299

My own home personally I've been loving mixing vintage with new.

300

I just feel like it's the best way to add interest

301

to your home without making it look like a catalog

302

if i was to solely get something from one brand like this couch this is crate

303

and barrel if i was to decorate my whole entire home in crate

304

and barrel it would look like we're walking inside of crate

305

and barrel personally i don't want it to look like my apartment is crate

306

and barrel i want it to feel like me you know tell you a little bit about me

307

if you did not know me i think that's what i appreciate about vintage

308

and new it just gives you

309

so much wiggle room to work with probably also never going to decorate fully vintage

310

and i feel like

311

that would be a surprise to some people like they probably would think i'd love a home

312

that like has nothing but vintage in it and i can appreciate it

313

because i'm a person i love history i love a museum okay i love going into old historical homes

314

that have like all that vintage

315

but that's also too extreme for me it also feels like

316

too much of a blast in the past for me i'm not gonna go into what i just thought of

317

but like if i lived in a home like

318

that i would feel a certain way i don't really want

319

everything in my home to be vintage either next intentional cluttered kitchens i know i've discussed on my channel

320

that i really don't like a bare kitchen i love kitchens

321

that look like they're lived in now the ones

322

that are bare i do find them very beautiful but the aspect

323

that they're missing for me is cozy and

324

that is something i really love like as somebody who is

325

like a diehard homebody everything just needs to feel very cozy

326

to me it needs to feel homey like i don't want people to come in

327

and feel like they can't like sit down or something.

328

You can put salt and pepper inside of your cabinet

329

and keep it tucked away but why not find a beautiful dish to keep it in

330

and use it that way especially since it's something

331

that a lot of us if we cook very often we're gonna use like every day.

332

I'm just not shy when it comes to keeping things on my countertop.

333

I feel like you can apply this to like any place in a home

334

but a place where I really appreciate it is in the kitchen.

335

Last on the things I find chic inside of a home list mixing interior design style

336

so earlier I mentioned I love seeing like people mix modern

337

and vintage I tried the whole thing of like I'm gonna go with this decor style

338

but now looking back I don't think I would have enjoyed it

339

that much just

340

because it doesn't feel as homey to me to stick to one interior design style I think of places

341

that have like one interior design style I think of hotel

342

lobbies I think of resorts all those places are very beautiful but they're not home.

343

I feel like it's unrealistic for us to try to keep ourselves in a box when it comes to interior design style.

344

Like I think it's completely natural for you to like a little bit of that over there and just put it together.

345

When I was decorating I started reading a lot of interior design books

346

and one book that I actually have I think it's called The Parisian Apartment.

347

In it the author was talking about you know the art of decorating your apartment she said

348

when it comes to decorating your apartment you don't have to

349

be like super curated super meticulous about what you put inside your apartment literally

350

if you find it beautiful put it in there it'll go together like

351

because we worry like will this match this will this match this

352

when i started following

353

that rule i couldn't have been more happy with how my interior design style looked i'm no longer worried like

354

if i'm gonna take this home is it gonna match the

355

question to myself was do I find it beautiful is the answer yes well of course it's gonna look great

356

because this place is filled with all the things

357

that I find beautiful and that's what makes like my home me

358

and makes it comfortable for me

359

and just makes it my most perfect place on earth

360

and that's why I've always told you guys my apartment is

361

very heavily influenced by like the Parisian style interior those were one of the few styles

362

that I saw that just seemed to allow anything

363

and i think it's beautiful i think it just adds interest

364

and again kind of just speaks to who you are

365

and what is more chic than that

366

so we've come to the category of beauty for my beauty category the first thing

367

that i find very chic that may be an unpopular opinion nowadays it may be unpopular

368

but look these are the things that i find chic okay so number one aging i think aging

369

is so beautiful number one it's such a blessing to age

370

but i'm not even trying to be like woo woo or anything

371

or like you should be happy with who you are age

372

no there is such an elegance to women who just allow

373

the natural process of aging again you can do whatever you

374

want there was a point where i considered there will be

375

a point in time where i will get botox to keep my face frozen to where I am, where society sees me as like the most beautiful.

376

And I've been over that for maybe one or two years now.

377

I think I'm at a point now where I don't foresee myself doing anything to my face

378

and not even putting like Botox in it to keep me as youthful as I am.

379

And the person that really inspired me with this, it was one of my favorite people when I was in high school.

380

I loved her so much, would watch all of her movies, had room decor with her all over.

381

It was really corny, But you know what, I'm not mad at 16 year old me.

382

Like, she's a good role model.

383

Audrey Hepburn is one of the people that comes to mind

384

when i think of a woman who just let herself age

385

this woman did it with such grace she is one of the most elegant people i think

386

that like i can tell you about right now and one thing

387

that you notice about her as she got older she got older

388

which i might do like the red light therapy things

389

and things like that you know drink teas to keep myself looking healthy

390

because i don't think there's a designated way you're supposed to look when you look older.

391

I think it's different for everyone.

392

Like, I'm gonna keep myself looking healthy.

393

But I've decided I really just don't want to do anything unnatural to obtain that.

394

I think it's so cheap to just have, you know, all the evidence that you've lived a life.

395

You know, you've went through trials and tribulations, but like, you're still here.

396

The next one, this is pretty straightforward to the point.

397

Short haircuts.

398

I think they are absolute chef's kiss.

399

It's not something I have myself.

400

But when I see the girls with a pixie with a short like boyish cut i think it's

401

so cute it's

402

so cool okay that's all i got to say like from

403

the curly ones to the straight ones it's just it's

404

so cool a shortcut like a shortcut just automatically makes you more fashionable like i'd probably be more fashionable

405

if i cut my hair in a shortcut i personally just like having long curly fro type look

406

so that's what works for me

407

but i'm just here to say i see what y'all are putting out

408

and i appreciate it that's it next one i feel like you'll see a little bit of a pattern here

409

but i find physical quirks very chic i think we've really discovered by now

410

that getting work done according to the trends is just not a good idea

411

because those trends do fluctuate like i remember

412

when the girls were adding like freckles

413

and i think we're still kind of doing that

414

but i remember the girls who actually had like freckles all

415

over their face being like i used to get made fun of for this like in school

416

and like so fair so real i know

417

that was a big thing with like the lips women were

418

talking about i was being made fun of for having fuller lips

419

and now everybody's getting fuller lips i think it's just such a cool

420

and chic thing to accept like the physical cork a close

421

person in my life she has been wanting to get braces

422

and i told her you know do whatever makes you comfortable

423

like i want you to do whatever makes you feel the most confident

424

but honestly when i look at you

425

and i see you smile I think wow she has a

426

really pretty smile I don't think oh she should get

427

that fixed but another person I can think of who everybody thinks is very beautiful who has

428

that same thing is Zendaya and some people you know are just mean

429

and they may say things like oh she needs to get it fixed

430

but I've never looked at her and thought you know she'd look a lot better

431

if she got

432

that fixed like I think it's interesting I'm not gonna lie

433

I hate the trend of everybody trying to look like everybody else

434

because I feel like it just takes away from like the natural beauty

435

that you already have we all have that one thing

436

that we were born with at least one thing

437

that really just stands out and i feel like when you take

438

that away like it's just it's art to me you know

439

like i really feel like humans are art i'm not here

440

to tell anybody not to do these things i'm mostly here to tell the people

441

if you are feeling like conflicted i say keep it it's

442

art to me don't tamper with the art another term i

443

think for physical courts is what we mostly know them as and it's like societal flaws

444

I don't like to call them that.

445

These things that a lot of times people don't like about themselves I think are so interesting.

446

That's just not a flaw to me.

447

So I can't call it that.

448

Like it's a physical cork.

449

Like it's different.

450

And that's coming from someone who used to try to undo all the unique things.

451

Like I feel like the elephant in the room.

452

My hair.

453

Another unpopular one.

454

Like don't come at me.

455

I mean you can but I'm still gonna say it.

456

Something that's very chic to me.

457

Signature fragrances.

458

That's not all.

459

Wait.

460

signature fragrances and gatekeeping it not only finding your signature fragrance but gatekeeping

461

and not telling everybody what it is this has nuance to

462

it okay i did share my journey i shared a whole

463

video i said my journey like girl you went to the store

464

and spilled perfumes i wouldn't call it a journey i shared

465

a video about how i was looking for a signature fragrance

466

and i did not find it in that video

467

so there was really nothing to show you like after some

468

more searching digging trying living in the scents I did find my signature scent

469

and I think the best signature scents are the ones

470

that you cannot put your finger on somebody walks by you

471

and they smell really good

472

but you you can't be like you're wearing this I know exactly what you're wearing

473

because you don't know like it kind of smells a little mysterious

474

and not everybody's signature scent needs to be mysterious that's just a preference for me me being a through

475

and through vanilla girl I love the smell of vanilla it's

476

so cozy and warm and comforting for me

477

but I knew I didn't want my signature scent to be

478

that because I didn't want anybody walking up

479

and being like you smell like vanilla oh that's no fun where's the mystery in

480

that like I just didn't want a very expected scent

481

because I feel like that's what takes away from the signature

482

I feel like the perfect example is the Baccarat is it

483

Baccarat Rouge it's a beautiful perfume okay it smells really good

484

but I think there was an ongoing joke about like you walk into a restaurant in Atlanta

485

and you'll smell like the food

486

and baccarat rouge i'm not saying i would never wear

487

that scent but it would never be like a signature for me

488

because i think a signature should be you know specific to you

489

and that's not to say like nobody else has it on obviously it's mass produced other people have it

490

but it's like not everybody can put their finger on it

491

when they smell it and

492

so that's where it kind of comes into play where you kind of have to gatekeep a bit

493

and i when i say gatekeep But I don't mean like if a woman walks up to you in person and says, oh my gosh, you smell so good.

494

What are you wearing?

495

And you're like, I don't know.

496

Which I mean, you have the right to pretend

497

that you don't know what you're wearing or that you don't want to tell them.

498

That is your right.

499

I personally, I'm not that person.

500

With my new signature perfume, I've had other people run me down for somebody else in a dentist's office to ask me what I'm wearing.

501

And I literally wrote it down for the girl.

502

If you catch me on the wild, I'll tell you.

503

I'll tell you what I'm wearing gatekeeping in the sense of social media

504

and that is because like if somebody comes on tiktok

505

and they're like this is my signature scent everybody stops me

506

and asks me about this 800,000 people see it

507

and now you've got like 80,000 likes on it not to mention the people

508

that saw it they might make a video too

509

and it's a domino effect girl you gotta find a new signature scent now super chic find a signature scent

510

and gatekeep it don't tell everybody that's your signature

511

and i will tell people online like what perfumes i'm wearing i probably just won't share my signature scent

512

because it's a signature.

513

But like I said, if you meet me on person, I'll tell you what it is.

514

Do with that information what you will.

515

They might tell everybody, this is the scent that she has on, like they did Rihanna.

516

See, Rihanna tried her best to have a signature scent, and then everybody was like, it's Killian, love, don't be shy.

517

And now it's not very signatory, is it?

518

She probably had to find a new one.

519

Another thing I find very chic in the beauty category is multiple use makeup items.

520

Even if they're not even meant to be that, I feel like sometimes a makeup item will be presented and marketed as one thing, and I'm going to use it for, like, multiple things.

521

Like, would brands come out with a blush that you can use, like, not only on your cheeks, but you can put it on your lips, you can use it as contour, as eyeshadow?

522

Super chic.

523

That is all I have for you today.

524

I've chic'd you to death, so I'm not going to chic you anymore.

525

Let me know if there's anything in your life or anything that you've noticed or like to, like, really stick to that you find very chic,

526

or even if you have a different definition of what chic is to you, let me know that too.

527

I think the thing about chic, what makes it so interesting is it can be kind of different for everyone.

528

It varies, and I think that's really cool.

529

But yeah, I hope you enjoyed the video.

530

Of course, if you did, you know what to do.

531

Thumbs up, comments, let's talk about it.

532

And I will see you in the next video.

533

Mwah!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
