1
Okay, let's begin our meditation.
2
I'm just kidding.
3
I just like to get the vibes right before I start filming.
4
We've got my herbal tea.
5
Normally, I'm a chamomile girl through and through.
6
But today, we're doing a loose leaf hibiscus, spearmint, nettle.
7
This is a really good combination for menstrual cycle.
8
But that may or may not be very chic.
9
so that's not really what we're here to talk about.
10
I've been talking a lot about my fashion, even interior design, rebrand of myself over this past year,
11
possibly even these past couple of years.
12
And with that, I've been thinking a lot about the things that I find very chic.
13
It wasn't really a purposeful thought at first.
14
At first, it was just like, I really enjoy this.
15
This is very chic.
16
And along the route of me discovering my personal style, I realized chic is definitely a part of that like I enjoy things
17
that are very chic I definitely have seen like people posting videos kind of talking about this
18
but I've tried my best to stay away from watching them for the most part
19
because I wanted to have like my own idea of what I find chic I did watch one just
20
because I was like what is this about like what are we talking about and then
21
when I watched it I was like I really enjoy this I wish I could remember this creator
22
but I think this is the first time
23
that I came across them I have three categories today the first category I have is fashion.
24
A good thing to start with so you understand how I see chic is to tell you my definition of chic.
25
When I think of chic it's definitely something that feels elevated, something that feels true to you,
26
but it also has a touch of like imperfection.
27
Chic to me feels elevated, but at the same time lived in.
28
Like it feels realistic and so that is how I see chic.
29
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
30
that is that's not the look that comes to mind
31
when i think of chic like at all and not
32
that i think it's a bad style
33
but chic oh it's interesting i think that's what it is like
34
when something is chic there's a hint of interest there and
35
when there's interest i feel like something is always off
36
but in a good way i really hope that makes sense
37
and you can see it a completely different way
38
and i think that's what makes you know your chic chic is
39
because like you see it differently from other people i feel
40
like it's a person who rewears the same pieces over
41
and over again so number one on the list rewearing the same pieces over
42
and over i can tell you obviously i've very much matured
43
as far as life goes as far as fashion goes since i started this channel
44
because old me would have never ever let
45
that come out of her mouth i was definitely a believer in
46
if i'm going to show up on instagram on youtube in real life I can't wear the same outfit again.
47
Everybody needs to be wowed by something completely new, something completely different, and I do not feel this way at all anymore.
48
When I think of the most chic people like in history, in fashion, in social media,
49
it's always the people that I feel like have a consistent look about them.
50
And a lot of times this look is very consistent because they probably wear the same pieces over and over again.
51
They've kind of allowed these pieces to be kind of a signature for them, kind of like a second skin.
52
They wear them so much.
53
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.
54
Next on my list, I have silver jewelry.
55
I feel like silver is kind of having its moment right now.
56
I think gold is a nice color and it comes in really nice pieces.
57
I feel like gold probably has the more abundant choices because I think it's the more popular pick.
58
But when I think of silver jewelry, I just think of like kind of mysterious,
59
sometimes even edgy, but very often very elevated.
60
Okay, next on my list is lesser known or not as popular vintage handbags.
61
The bags that typically stop me dead in my tracks are not like the Birkin bag
62
that you already know what it is you see it a
63
million times chanel bag like it's got the cc i have a chanel bag it's not
64
that one it is those bags
65
that are mostly just whispered about like everybody's not like screaming
66
to the top of the mountain doing unboxings of them
67
and it might be my specific algorithm
68
but i have just been coming across bags like this
69
so much on pinterest the air of mystery to them
70
that they are not talked about so much
71
but also to their core these are really gorgeous bags i don't know
72
if I was really ever the person that just really wanted the bag
73
that everybody was talking about there were some bags
74
that everybody was talking about I'm like yeah I do like this bag I would like this bag but
75
that was not the only criteria for me to want a
76
bag I would say I've kind of always been drawn to the more like vintage bags
77
but maybe not always the lesser known ones
78
but there's just something about number one a vintage bag it looks lived in someone already did the dirty work for you.
79
I feel like we've already been doing this and I really appreciate like
80
that everybody's just getting into like the lesser known maybe not the most popular bag on the internet secondhand vintage bags.
81
You do not have to spend a million dollars on a bag to look very chic.
82
In fact you might look more chic if you don't.
83
Next on my list I feel like this one is very obvious for me but elevated cozy wear.
84
Obviously.
85
Does anyone remember or like are you still going through that era of wearing college t-shirts to bed.
86
I know I definitely did that for years.
87
I had a drawer specifically full of random t-shirts
88
that I acquired from sports in high school and college games
89
and things like that and those are the things that I would wear around the house.
90
Those are the things that I would go to sleep in and I let go of those like a few years ago.
91
I can count on one hand how many t-shirts
92
that I have like that just you know for comfort or you know when I'm feeling really like that day.
93
I may put it on.
94
But for the most part nowadays, it's second nature for me to walk around in a house like this very often.
95
It may not always match, but I probably always have on like some type of elevated loungewear.
96
I feel like one of the better things you can do
97
to get the most out of life is really romanticize those little things.
98
And what better way?
99
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!

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
