Hi guys, it's Syd and welcome back.

So I decided to make a list of things that I find to be incredibly chic.

I would say classy, timeless,

authentic are words that come to mind when I think of chic.

For me, it's the way that you carry yourself on both the inside and the outside.

It's not how you look,

it's how you present yourself.

So I have a list of things on my laptop.

Grab a snack, maybe grab a nice cup of tea because tea is chic.

Cheers.

number one is curling your eyelashes

and putting vaseline on top i love not wearing mascara a lot of the times

that in itself is very chic

and one of the best ways to make it look like your lashes are super healthy curled

and strong without actual mascara on them is just curling them

and putting vaseline on top wearing eye patches which you know what this is ironic doing a face mask or wearing

under eye patches i think is just so chic especially

when you're getting ready especially these ones by dio those are my favorite

and it makes me feel so put together going along with

that is having a skincare routine the regimen of having a

skincare routine is just like such an act of self-care in

itself regardless of not even just your skin like the fact

that you wake up in the morning and take care of yourself in

that way so i really try to prioritize my skincare in the morning

and the night because it kind of just like rounds me

and it starts my day and it finishes my day in a perfect way because I'm like taking care of myself.

Clear nail polish.

This is something I've only started doing the past six months

and as some of you may know I recently developed an allergy to nail polish

and getting my nails done at the salon.

Moms are always right because my mom was the one who always told me to do this

and I never listened to her until now and I really should have because she's right.

Something also chic is listening to your mom because your mom is always right.

Anyways I started using the sally hansen clear hardening gel I also file my nails

and try to take super great care of them

and you can see that they look I would say very healthy That's something

that I personally find very chic clean clear well manicured

and well-kept nails in regards to makeup Complimenting not concealing what

I mean by this is really highlighting your natural features as

i've gotten older I've learned to really embrace the things I love and don't love about myself

and I think that just comes with like self-acceptance and really like learning to love yourself.

For example, one thing for me is I have these little,

I don't know if you call them beauty marks.

I didn't used to like really care about them

or like think much of them

but as I get older I realized something I really love about myself because I don't know it makes me me.

Accentuating the things that you love instead of just covering it up with concealer like I would used to do.

Having a signature scent.

This is something i've talked about often.

I think it is

So classy whenever someone has said to me this smell reminds me of you

or this smells like you I have never forgotten like I think I can name every person that's ever said

that about me Really just finding that scent that you love

that you feel is truly you

and sticking to it Also buying like the travel sized version of whatever

that scent is and keeping it on you in your bag

So chic nothing is more sleek to me than a slick back bun with gold hoop earrings

especially with a hoodie on top.

I know we're bleeding into fashion here, but so chic.

Applying lip liner with your fingers.

I truly believe that there is a proper way to apply a lip product.

I think it's so chic and it always looks so much better.

You take the product, line your lips using a light hand and then blending with your finger.

It really gives that more muted natural look to your lips.

Like instead of a really harsh line,

just taking your fingers and blending it

so it doesn't look like you're even wearing a lip product just looks like your lip color

but better it's chic to use your fingers to blend in

your lip product engraved personalized items for me what came to mind with this is like a compact mirror

that has your initials

or a lipstick maybe your makeup bag having things customized to you with your initials is

so special

and just something i love one of my best friends has

her entire luggage set completely personalized with her initials on everything

i feel like she's the the most put together composed person because of that.

Applying blush to your nose.

This is my best hack for blush because it makes it look like you actually got sun.

If you think about it,

when you do get sunburn,

you do get a little color on your nose as well.

And so when I started doing that,

I felt like it really elevated my makeup routine.

Random but chic.

I couldn't really think of like where these things fit in a category,

so I just decided to make it its own.

Starting out strong with orange wine.

I just don't think I see people order orange wine very often.

The times I've had it,

it's delicious and it's also, it's different, you know?

Most people order red or white so when you say orange wine kind of throws people off a little bit.

Wired headphones.

If you know me you know that I pretty much only wear wired headphones mostly because I just lose airpods constantly.

There's something so maybe it's like the nostalgia of wired headphones.

I just love like whenever I see a girl out and she's walking with wired headphones I just think she's cool.

The color brown especially brunettes.

I love

when a brunette wears anything brown like a brown top a brown bag a brown scarf going along with

that the color burgundy my favorite color it's

so classy it's beautiful it's like a red rich red wine color those are just two colors

100

that i think are very chic drinking coffee out of a wine glass i started doing this

101

because at a cafe recently they served me my latte in a wine glass

102

and i felt so cool to romanticize my mornings whenever i'm at home

103

and i have coffee i like to do this it makes me feel put together in the mornings

104

and i like doing it

105

so coke zero this is a personal thing i know there's

106

a debate with diet coke versus coke zero i'm a coke zero girl

107

but something about ordering a diet coke at a restaurant is very classy to me having a signature mug

108

if you follow me at all you'd probably have seen the mug

109

that i'm obsessed with which is actually a jug

110

because it's a jean mug um

111

that is i would say my signature mug you know there's just something special about a mug it's

112

so personal it's

113

so intimate that's like your mug handwritten notes there's nothing wrong with a thank you text

114

but there is something so much more special

115

and intimate about handwriting a letter to someone and mailing it to them

116

or giving it to them i have kept every single handwritten letter someone has ever given me i think

117

because they're just so much more rare nowadays to receive that

118

and it just makes it so much more special

119

and it's very impressive when someone writes a letter nowadays

120

because it's just not done as much carrying a mini notebook

121

and a pen with you again with everything being on your phones i think it's

122

so chic to just throw your special journal and your pen

123

and your bag pull it out at a coffee shop instead of just like your phone

124

or your laptop i'm also a visual person

125

so i like writing out my to-do list versus just always putting it on my phone sometimes

126

so i think that's very chic

127

and also kind of practical aspects of personal character development

128

that i find to be chic this i think is the most important

129

and also interesting part of this video number one

130

which I think resonates very true to me and also my channel is being alone and being confident about it.

131

You guys know at this point how much I believe in this.

132

Being able to enjoy your own company and taking yourself on solo dates and taking care of yourself,

133

enjoying time alone because it's the most important relationship

134

that you will have ever with yourself I think is very chic and honestly very important.

135

It shows other people the respect that you deserve and how you treat yourself,

136

other people will notice and they'll take note.

137

Having a wide palette.

138

So for me, this is something I really struggle with.

139

Unfortunately, I am a very picky eater.

140

I'm not proud of this at all.

141

So it's something that I've really tried to work on as I've gotten older is expanding my palette.

142

Definitely not saying you need to like every single food.

143

You need to enjoy foods that you just hate.

144

It's more about being open to trying new things.

145

Even if you don't like it,

146

just being willing to Try foods that maybe you wouldn't normally try,

147

especially different cultures and cuisines.

148

That's something that I think is very classy, chic, and just important.

149

It's definitely something I've been working on.

150

I think I've been getting a lot better.

151

Something I always tell myself is I will try anything,

152

even if I don't want to.

153

And if I don't like it, that's okay.

154

Having a large vocabulary.

155

This kind of goes along with being educated or educating yourself consistently,

156

even after school ends.

157

You can really notice how someone presents themselves in the way that they speak in conversation.

158

It can be difficult to kind of like break out of the vocabulary tendencies that you're used to,

159

especially saying like all the time,

160

using the same exact words to describe things.

161

I actually got an app for this.

162

I'm going to put it on the screen because I forget what it's called,

163

but it's definitely helped me.

164

It's good to like know how to articulate yourself.

165

It's a very respectable trait when someone can carry themselves and hold a great conversation intelligently.

166

Having confidence in yourself.

167

This is obviously way easier said than done.

168

I'm not confident 100% of the time and nobody is.

169

If anyone says that they are,

170

it's just not true but i think it's really about being unapologetically yourself

171

that is one of my favorite qualities in a person is meeting someone who is just

172

so authentic to themselves you can just tell right away

173

that they don't care what people think of them it is

174

such an attractive quality in people just like owning yourself

175

and being confident in the person that you are

176

and comfortable it definitely shows in the way

177

that you act like the way that you show up

178

and just not caring about what people think of you is obviously very difficult

179

but with practice

180

and mindfulness i do think it's possible to sort of get there you're never fully going to be there

181

but this one is tough

182

but having composure during tough moments i've realized this the past

183

couple of years how important it is to like take a step back

184

and a deep breath when i'm really worked up about something

185

or like agitated it's natural to have an impulse

186

when you have strong emotions about something but

187

But I think the point always comes across a million times better and more sophisticated.

188

When you take a second to breathe,

189

gather your thoughts and deliver them in a more respectful, composed way.

190

Nothing ever is successful when you're just yelling, screaming, upset.

191

I'm not saying to like suppress your emotions.

192

That is not it at all.

193

But it's more so to just take a step back in those moments.

194

A lot of the times what I do if I'm like worked up about something is I'll give myself a day.

195

I won't respond to it.

196

I won't engage.

197

I won't do anything about it until I give myself 24 hours to just calm down.

198

And a lot of the times,

199

24 hours later, I realize it's not as big of a deal as I thought it was maybe,

200

or I wanna handle it completely differently than how I would have in that moment.

201

Really handling things with a lot of grace,

202

I think is very classy and very chic.

203

Lastly is having hobbies.

204

As we get older, for some reason,

205

hobbies just seem to be less of a priority.

206

I think because of work,

207

friends, there's just like so much going on as you get older,

208

but really maintaining those hobbies for yourself,

209

I think is very attractive and really just important mentally having your own passions

210

and things that are special to you Whether it's an instrument a sport an art It's not only classy,

211

but it's also just good for you mentally to have something

212

that you're passionate about moving on to fashion One of my

213

favorite categories first off is a trench coat specifically the button-up

214

trench coat I just bought one of these in my last vlog and it is so chic so classy.

215

It's definitely a staple next is a big vintage bag.

216

It really doesn't even have to be vintage,

217

but just a large tote bag.

218

There's a couple reasons for this.

219

A, you can fit so many things in there.

220

For friends, if someone doesn't have chapstick,

221

if they want to brush their hair,

222

you have everything, which I think being that friend who's prepared and has things for people is very chic.

223

So that's part of it.

224

But I also just love the look of a big tote bag.

225

And I actually have mine right here.

226

I thrifted this one on thredUP for I think 20 bucks.

227

Lace accents.

228

This is something that I do very often.

229

I love to just have like a little lace kind of peeking out of my outfit in a very subtle way.

230

One of my favorite ways is like a lace bralette.

231

For example, under something like this where it's just sort of peeking out and you can see like a nice lace detail.

232

I think it's very feminine and graceful.

233

Earrings as the statement of an outfit.

234

I love a good chunky earring.

235

Having like a really strong pair of classy bold earrings.

236

I love that look.

237

Having your staple big chunky earrings can really just like completely change an outfit.

238

Going along with that is jewelry and layering jewelry.

239

You guys know I am in love with jewelry.

240

That is like my favorite way to accessorize.

241

I love like layering and putting together,

242

creating new stacks for the day,

243

mixing metals, really being creative with my jewelry.

244

It can really completely change your look for the day.

245

Focusing on jewelry as part of the outfit I think is very chic.

246

I also have a jewelry brand,

247

so I'm clearly obsessed with jewelry.

248

And I hope you guys like this bracelet because it may be coming soon.

249

White jeans.

250

I don't know if this is because I recently bought a pair of great fitting white jeans.

251

A good pair of white jeans that fit you perfectly.

252

There's something about those that are just so sophisticated and timeless.

253

I love a pair of white jeans.

254

I feel like they're kind of underrated a little bit.

255

We always think of blue jeans,

256

dark wash jeans, black jeans,

257

but white jeans deserve their credit.

258

Of course I couldn't forget to include a blazer.

259

When I think of a blazer,

260

I actually think of Hailey Bieber.

261

And when I think of Hailey Bieber, I think of chic.

262

A blazer is timeless.

263

It's not trendy.

264

It's something that will always, always have its place.

265

And I think investing in a really good quality blazer is very smart and something that you'll always go back to.

266

This is kind of random,

267

but I love a skinny little scarf.

268

It's not practical at all.

269

Okay.

270

It really doesn't do anything for you.

271

It doesn't keep you warm because it's this thin.

272

It's just such a cool piece to accessorize with other than just a belt

273

or a hat or basic items that you'd think of.

274

Micro scarves are very sleek and you can find some really cool ones.

275

You can also thrift them.

276

So next we're moving on to home.

277

A couple months ago, I discovered a purse bowl.

278

This changed my life because if you're anything like me,

279

I constantly am changing my bags.

280

A lot of the times when I switch my bag,

281

I forget to transfer everything in my purse.

282

So what I like about having a purse bowl is you have a home base.

283

You can just dump all of your purse belongings in this bowl.

284

You can also just get like,

285

you can get a really nice ceramic bowl too that looks pretty for decor.

286

Real plants.

287

I used to be a fake plant person.

288

I couldn't keep them alive.

289

I was like, what's the point?

290

They're gonna die anyways.

291

And then I realized, you know what?

292

You have to put in effort,

293

but you can take care of a plant.

294

And having a real plant in your bedroom or your home,

295

it is chic, okay?

296

There's something so chic about a real plant in your home that also just puts you in a good mood,

297

I think, having plants in my apartment.

298

Unconventional storage.

299

I love storing my items in a way that you wouldn't expect.

300

I find a lot of my ideas for things like this on pinterest,

301

which is not a shocker I have a few examples of this

302

So one of them is displaying your bracelets

303

and your bangles on an empty beautiful wine bottle

304

that you like I've also been seeing recently people displaying their jewelry

305

and necklaces on a tennis racket Never something I would have thought of

306

but I like that it's different and unconventional Aside from a tennis racket.

307

I do like storing jewelry on things like a teacup.

308

I actually i'll show you guys mine's right over there I bought this vintage teacup set with the saucer.

309

It's a great way for me to store my earrings and stuff.

310

Love this.

311

It's one of my favorite parts of my bedroom.

312

Something I've done for a while is keeping my favorite candles like an expensive or just like a nice candle jar,

313

but using the used candle jars for storage of something,

314

whether it's like makeup brushes or lip products and putting it on your vanity.

315

I think that's really classy and chic.

316

Along with having a signature perfume scent or fragrance scent,

317

I would say is having a signature home scent.

318

There's a couple people I could name off right now that whenever I walk in their home,

319

I know exactly what it's going to smell like and I totally associate that smell with them in their house.

320

It's so chic.

321

This is probably the most chic thing in this video to me.

322

Walking in someone's house or apartment and they have the same exact smell

323

that smells so nice and you can completely associate it with them.

324

Whether it's a candle or a diffuser or like a wall plug-in.

325

I think that's so chic and so classy

326

and I'm honestly on the hunt to find something that I would associate with myself in my apartment.

327

So if you have any great candle racks, let me know.

328

Okay guys, that's everything that I find chic.

329

If I'm missing anything, please comment below because I'm really curious what things you guys have to add.

330

But ultimately, I just want to say I think the most chic version of yourself

331

that you can be totally comes from within way less to

332

do with your exterior than your interior obviously it's i think ultimately what makes someone chic

333

or put together is really just taking care of yourself on the inside

334

and out mentally physically emotionally really prioritizing yourself

335

and the relationship you have with yourself i think is what

336

embodies all of the chic things possible it's really just about taking care of yourself

337

and loving yourself i love you guys thanks so much for watching.

338

I hope you thought this video was fun.

339

I had so much fun making it,

340

and I will see you in my next video.

341

Bye!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
