WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE CHIC ;

what does it mean to be chic? the word chic is used a lot in conversation but it actually has two meanings. chic (adjective) means to be elegantly and stylishly fashionable. but the meaning of chic that we are going to focus on in todays post is the noun.

CHIC (noun) : stylishness and elegance, typically of a specified kind…💬🎀

when i think of chic people like audrey hepburn and coco chanel. who do you think of when u think of the word chic? once you've thought of people who pop up in ur mind when u think of chic, think about what makes them chic? is it their clothes? the way that they carry and present themselves? is it their influence etc.

THE LITTLE LUXURIES ADD UP TO A CHIC LIFE ;

everyday is a reason to celebrate. you opening ur eyes this morning is a reason to celebrate. which is why i dont understand why people like to "save the beautiful things for celebrations". celebrate urself everyday. use the expensive perfume that u like, use ur best candles, have cake. dont save the little luxuries of life for when theres something to celebrate. celebrate everyday.

additionally the little things that u do everyday can add up to a more chic lifestyle and are not that difficult to implement into ur life. some examples of this include

drinking herbal teas with honey

starting a collection of something that u love

starting a collection specifically is a great way to spark the feeling of luxury or abundance…💬🎀

practicing self care

upgrading ur vocabulary

reading books and novels that are enriching

doing what YOU wanna do

fresh flowers

when you romanticize and make ur life seem more chic and elegant even if its with little things that u do, those things will add up and ultimately you'll formulate the chic and elegant life that u want.

GET READY EVERYDAY ;

when u present urself in the best possible way you'll FEEL it. when u put time into ur appearance every single day and get ready everyday your confidence will sky rocket because as we know, when we look good we FEEL good.

for me, when i get ready everyday i'll get more done in the day because i feel put together and posh etc. allocate time for urself everyday to do your makeup and keep up with ur appearance because it'll make u feel more chic.

THINGS THAT I THINK ARE CHIC ;

hand held mirrors

fluffy lashes

a little black dress

french tips

little baguette bags (tiny little purses in general)

fluffy powder puffs

THE STYLISH ASPECT OF BEING CHIC ;

the chic style is all about not doing too much and letting the outfit speak for itself. not wearing too many colors at once and choosing colors that complement each other. the outfit is more in the details then in the outfit itself which is why the little black dress is such a timeless fashion staple. some details to focus on when being chic are using nudish colors on ur nails or just go for french tips.

+*:ꔫ Elegance & grace: *✧･ﾟ:*

(It just needed the aesthetic symbols around it.)

“A girl must be two things: classy and fabulous” — Audrey Hepburn

“Always be the leading lady of your own life” —Audrey Hepburn

“Fashion changes, but style endures.” — Coco Chanel

“Keep your heels, heads and standards high” — Coco Chanel

✧ For the longest time, I longed to be a girl with class and elegance, but I also wanted to be a party girl and chaotic and fun! Then I realised, why can’t I be both? Why couldn’t I have it all? So here are some tips where you can be super fun and cray-cray but also see yourself as an elegant person ✧

Posture. Always sit up straight. Self explanatory tbh, just don’t slouch.

Don’t be on your phone too much. Idk why but when I do it, I just get so icked out by myself. Get off your lazy butt and do something. But mostly when u do go on your phone, don’t lie down lazily on your bed. Sit up.

Present yourself well. Brush your hair, put some lip gloss, where decent clothes. Ready yourself in a way which makes you feel elegant and confident.

Get your own style. Your own signature scent, style

Read. Nothing says elegance than a tidy, well kept girl reading.

Be polite. Have manners. Be kind and respectful. How you treat others says a lot about you. And remember to smile! Be warm and open.

Chew with your mouth closed. It is so gross eating and then seeing someone chewing with their mouth wide open.

Don’t fiddle too much. In my opinion it’s ok if ur rly nervous, but if ur just sitting try not to shake your legs (im guilty of this as well!)

Stay calm. In situations where it’s more tense/ you just wanna shout, don’t. Learn to not react and stay calm and elegant, always. Appear calm and collected in all situations. (Some ways you can do this is by meditation or deep breathing)

Be mindful. Be mindful of the things you say, and the things you do (your actions)

Confidence. Confidence is everything. Be confident in the way you speak, in the way you walk, in yourself.

Extra tip: embody/ take inspiration from people who are already who you want to be! (Examples: Marilyn Monroe, Coco Chanel, Aubrey Hepburn, etc)

Xoxo, Vanilla

Things that are not actually classy (avoid these)

Ladies, today I want to bring attention to a list of habits and traits which are in no way associated with a classy woman (or person, for that matter).

Pointing out another person's flaw which cannot be fixed in less then 5 min - this is just basic good manners.

Wearing luxury brands from head to toe - being a walking billboard of advertisements isn't classy, it shows one cares more about clout and more likely leaves others wondering if the person even has a style of their own.

Judging other women while they're actively working on leveling up, instead of actually offering support or advice. Remember, we've all been at that early stage and it's gracious to afford them the same courtesy you wish you would've had.

Judging people's accessories or outfit based on how prestigious, luxury-brand or expensive they are - quality and elegance isn't defined only by famous or expensive brands.

Lacking critical thinking or discernment, blindly believing whatever people tell you or whatever outlets you are exposed to firsthand. If you want to be a high value woman, you need to think for yourself and form your own opinions. It's not a high value quality to be a soundboard for whatever other people around you are saying.

Being rigid in thinking and closed-minded, believing that you have the answers to everything, and that only your view can be the correct one - modesty and an open mind goes a long way, nobody knows everything.

Degrading something that doesn't resonate with you on a superficial or subjective level (aesthetics, fashion, taste, etc) - let people live and enjoy whatever brings them joy. Just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't mean it can't be someone else's favorite flavour.

We’ve all had those mornings where we look at our closet and think, “I have nothing to wear.” The truth? Looking stylish doesn’t always require a new wardrobe or an expensive designer brand. Sometimes, it’s all about the little details, the little choices that make your outfit feel more put together and undeniably yours. If natural elegance seems like a mystery, it’s time to simplify it.
