My Travels Around The World: Paris

My Travels Around The World: Paris
My Travels Around The World: Paris by Ballet Dreams™ featuring Nine West accessories

Okay, so now i went my travels from India, to Paris, the city of lights. Paris is so beautiful, its my favorite City/Country in the whole wide world (Except maybe Germany, Maybe) So, of course like India, it has facts:

  • Paris is located in the north-bending arc of the river Seine and includes two islands, the Île Saint-Louis and the larger Île de la Cité, which form the oldest part of the city. Overall, the city is relatively flat, and the lowest elevation is 35 m (115 ft) above sea level. Paris has several prominent hills, of which the highest is Montmartre at 130 m (427 ft).[44]
So, yes, Paris does have a lot of facts (Credit to Wikipedia for researchable facts)
Ok, so yes, i love Paris!!

below are some sets from Polyvore with Paris styles and pictures! Enjoy!

Barbie: A doll, or a lifestyle?


I've been wondering as I've been looking at Barbie pictures, and there is Barbie
mansions (Yes, actual houses with lots of pink), Buildings with pictures of
Barbie plastered everywhere and gift shops and spas, she's been in Nordstrom
in the beauty department and M.A.C makeup stores, shes been everywhere.
But what puzzles me is it a doll, or a lifestyle? Because everywhere you see, there
she is! I have to say, i am a fan of Barbie, but still, why is she plastered everywhere?
And how did it happen?

(Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the
American toy-company Mattel, Inc. and launched in March 1959. American businesswoman Ruth Handler (1916-2002) is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration.)
And, i'm German (99% German) So yeah that makes me happy about it was inspired
by the German doll, Bild Lilli. In fact, Barbie looks like Bild Lilli:
I love the Bild Lilli doll, it looks very elegant, it shows what German women really
look like. And basically, Barbie was copying Bild Lilli, if Barbie wasn't invented,
Bild Lilli would be very popular now (Not saying that i hate Barbie!!)

(The Bild Lilli Doll was a German fashion doll produced from 1955 to 1964, based on the comic-strip character Lilli. She is the predecessor of Barbie. In the beginning Lilli was a German cartoon character, created by Reinhard Beuthien for the tabloid Bild-Zeitung in Hamburg, Germany. In 1953 the Bild-Zeitung decided to market a Lilli doll and contacted Max Weissbrodt from the toy company O&M Hausser in Neustadt/Coburg, Germany. Following Beuthien's drawings Weissbrodt designed the prototype of the doll which was on sale from 1955 to 1964 when Mattel acquired the rights to the doll so the German production had to stop. Until then production numbers reached 130,000. Today Lilli is a collector's piece as Barbie is, and commands prices of several thousand Euros, dependant on condition, packaging and clothes.)

The original Bild Lilli


1950's original Barbie

So what i wonder if everyone still knows about the comic strip Lilli?


(Reinhard Beuthien was ordered to make a "filler" to conceal a blank space in the Bild-Zeitung of June 24, 1952. He drew a cute baby, but his boss didn't like it. So he kept the face, added a ponytail and a curvy woman's body and called his creation "Lilli". She sat in a fortune-teller's tent asking: "Can't you tell me the name and address of this rich and handsome man?" The cartoon was an immediate success so Beuthien had to draw new ones each day.

Lilli was post-war, sassy and ambitious and had no reservations talking about it. As she had her own job she earned her own money as a secretary but wasn't above hanging out with rich men ("I could do without balding old men but my budget couldn't!"). The cartoon always consisted of a picture of Lilli talking to girlfriends, boyfriends, her boss ("As you were angry when I was late this morning I will leave the office at five p.m. sharp!"). The quips underneath the cartoons handled topics ranging from fashion (to a policeman who told her that two-piece-swimsuits are banned: "Which piece do you want me to take off?"), politics ("Of course I'm interested in politics; no one should ignore the way some politicians dress!") and even the beauty of nature ("The sunrise is so beautiful that I always stay late at the nightclub to see it!"). The last Lilli cartoon appeared on January 5, 1961.)


What about the Bild Lilli doll?


(Lilli was available in the sizes 30 cm (12 inches) and 19 cm (7 and a half inches). She held three patents absolutely new in doll-making: The head wasn't connected to the neck but ended at the chin; the hair wasn't rooted but a cut-out scalp that was attached by a hidden metal screw; the legs didn't sprawl open when she was sitting. The doll was made of plastic and had molded eyelashes, pale skin and a painted face with side glancing eyes, high narrow eyebrows and red lips. Her fingernails were painted red, too. She wore her hair in a ponytail with one curl kissing the forehead. Her shoes and earrings were molded on. Her limbs were attached inside by coated rubber bands. The cartoon Lilli was blonde but a few of the dolls had other hair colours. Each Lilli doll carried a miniature Bild-Zeitung and was sold in a clear plastic tube.

In 1955 the tall dolls cost 12 Marks, the small 7.50 Marks. German office workers then had a monthly salary of approximately 200 to 300 Marks, so the doll was by no means a cheap toy. She was originally marketed to adults in bars and tobacco shops as a joke or gag gift. Many parents considered her not appropriate for children. Ariel Levy refers to her as a "sex doll" in Female Chauvinist Pigs. A German brochure from the 1950s states that Lilli was "always discreet," and that her wardrobe made her "the star of every bar." Although the doll was originally not designed as a children's toy, she eventually became popular with children. Doll houses, room settings, furniture, and other toy accessories to scale with the small Lilli were produced by German toy factories to cash in on her popularity amongst children and parents. Lilli and her fashions were sold as children's toys in a number of European countries, including Italy and Scandinavian states. Lilli was as high-profiled and successful as a toy as she was as an adult novelty, although outside of Germany she is mostly remembered in the latter guise.)

Button-up shirts - the real button eye


The button-up shirt is a classic for all shirts. its so popular for women, but it didn't start with women. it first started with men. (like fur coats, pants, pink shirts, and more all from men first!) since the 1920's it was first showed by men. then at the 1940's women started to think these were chic, so started wearing them also. like destroyed jeans and trench coats, they have tips,
1. Make sure to NOT iron the buttons, they will melt onto the shirt. (if they don't still be careful)
2. Always make sure to buy a pair that was fitted, but also one half size bigger!
3. Do make sure to always get it fixed at a professional tailor's place. if you mend this yourself, it would show badly, and it will look cheap. be careful! (like always)

Well, thats the top Three tips for a button up! there isn't really alot for these simple-yet-classic shirts. below are some inspirational sets from polyvore with button-up shirts:

Trench coats: the way they are


So its the beginning of the fall, and everyone is getting ready for it. like buying clothes. so, one
of the best fall coats is The Trench Coat. everyone has them. the most popular color for these coats are, you name it tan. of course, it can be in different colors also. like the destroyed jeans post i made, i'm going to add some tips about trench coats on this post. they can be pretty hard to clean, but they're worth it!
1. make sure to get a trench with a tough fabric, one that doesn't rip. these coats can be pretty weak in fabric.
2. always make sure to wash them after you buy them. they can get lint on them. especially if you got them from a store. people have been touching them!
3. just because they look simple doesn't mean they clean simple. you have to put them on not high, normal on washer. no dryer, because it'll rip. air dry. search google for more information.
4. always always get one that fits you, but one size (or if you're still growing 2 sizes bigger) because even in a month they can get small. especially if you wash them!

There isn't any more tips for trench coats. they're better to care for then destroyed jeans. below are some inspirational polyvore sets below:

Destroyed jeans: now finally popular?


Now i see more and more sets of destroyed jeans on polyvore and more reviews of these fabulous jeans. so, are they finally popular? well, i guess so. since now the fall is coming up, and the new year is tick-tocking away. chances are that baggy jeans are out of the fashion world, and these kind of jeans are sliding in the spotlight. why? because they not only look fabulous, and perfect for everything, they also show a little bit of street style, but not being to much of a street gal jeans. if you don't have the money to buy destroyed jeans (They are more expensive then normal jeans) then buy a normal pair of jeans, and then cut the holes yourself! its easy! although, they're are some bad reasons for getting these denim beauties:
1. they can get ripped, be sure if you buy a pair to be careful of things that could rip them
2. they can show too much skin, be sure to get a pair that doesn't have alot of holes. if they don't have enough, then cut some more holes
3. if they have bad fabric, then you should maybe not buy them. usually if their bad in the beginning, they will get worse. be careful.
4. find the pair that flatters your body. some times destroyed jeans can unflatter your body, if you get them loose or comfortable feeling, then they will bag up and sag, unflattering your body
5. make sure to make a laundry load wisely. be sure it doesn't destroy the jeans more. search online for tips and if you should make a extra load for just them.. be careful!
6. be stylish. but not too much. if you add too much belts and shirts and jackets, it will make it look cheap. so be careful!

Okay, those are the top 6 tips that you should always know about destroyed jeans. below are some fabulous sets featuring destroyed jeans:



To find more inspiration, then go to polyvore and search "Destroyed jeans". until then, get destroyed!

Interview with Nordstrom worker

This interview is fun. this woman was brunette and seemed to love her job! so i just gave her a interview. Nordstrom i think is expensive, but fun to roam around in. The Nordstrom cafe has some good treats. get lunch there!

why did you get the job?

well i wanted the job because it sounded fun. i didn't want a single store, like with one designer or company. like GAP or something. i wanted to work in a store with different designer clothing. i was getting frantic trying to find a shop like Nordstrom, then my best friend looked in a Nordstrom magazine. and she said "[name not to be told], i'm holding your dream job" and she smiled.

do you love or hate some of the designer clothing?

Um, yes i love most of them. but some of them i hate. like this pink Marc By Marc Jacobs dress. sadly. but i used to hate it, now i really love it! i really L-O-V-E chanel! Nordstrom is perfect to look around while your working

was the thing that your best friend said, "dream job" is really true?

yes, its wonderful. i love being near fashions. and Nordstrom makes it worth it to drive to nordstrom. i love it when i find something really fab, and it gives me ideas. i love Nordstrom!

did you make friends at Nordstrom?

um, no. not really. i'm really polite to people, but i'm kind of knew, so they don't know me enough to trust me. i really love making new friends, but at Nordstrom i have to wait untill i do.

did Nordstrom save something for you?

yes! one time i was chatting with someone, but she said something bad about me, like how i looked like a person who wasen't to be trusted with fashion, right then a costumer zipped to me and said "you look so fashionable! can you ask me if this looks good?!" that person was like a angel to me!

did this job mess up your personal life?

not really. except when i started me and my boyfriend had a big fight. but that wasen't because of the job.

was it hard starting, or was it like a peice of cake?

yes sadly. i was stressful with my boyfriend and me.


Real street fashion

street fashion.


Street fashion does not mean people wearing casual outfits on the street. its a art. why? because fashion isn't just gowns and heels. there also some themes also. like, street fashion. or tea party. and fashion is a art because its like ballet. there is also different ballets, like swan lake and the nutcracker which is very different alike. like street fashion with evening fashion. evening is like swan like, elegant and beautiful. while street fashion funky. always new and exciting. below are some examples of street fashion art.

piperlime - what is it?

people have been wondering (as i hear people everywhere, asking about piperlime) well, yep, you guessed right. "piperlime" is a company store that sells designer shoes. like dior, marc by marc jacobs, and more. they also sell cheaper shoes, like crocs, and other rubber-like shoes. they also sell men's shoes, and children's shoes. piperlime is not a actual store, its a online store. like gap, only not a store in the streets or malls. below are some shoes sold at piperlime. whats more, is that they also sell handbags, also! Whats also good is that they do free shipping and returning. so if the shoes does not fit right,
then you can ship it back for free. and its not really expensive like nordstrom, which is almost
$1000!!!! but, all in all, piperlime is a pretty good online store to find handbags and shoes
so i hope this post was useful. untill then, buy good shoes!!!

how to wear: jumpsuits

 jumpsuits can be worn  any time, any day. but is also a bit of a tough item, too. first of all, it is most of the time bulky, not a good thing for those who needed to wear these to make their body more flattering. plus, it comes in hard sizes, but, most of all, it can be chic. how to wear it flatteringly chic, wear alot of jewelry! it gives even a plain solid colored jumpsuit a bit of rich-ness. one of the best thing of flattering your jumpsuit is: belts. the best belts are thin and leather. the best color for a jumpsuit is: 
if its a red jumpsuit: dark dark brown belt
purple jumpsuit: light caramel 
pink jumpsuit: white belt
yellow jumpsuit: light brown belt
black jumpsuit: black or white belt
and, belts can be untied and put in your purse. earrings are good too for tweeking the look of a jumpsuit. gold ,brown, black,silver, or white earrings can be worn with any color of jumpsuit. so if you want to start suits, start jumping!

flare: the meaning of it


okay, so i'm always talking about pants, right? and i'm always talking about flared pants. well, flared pants mean pants on the top is narrow, and the bottom is widens, it is, rather chic. like this picture (chic, huh?) it is narrow on the top, and when it goes to the knee, it widens the pants, giving it a whole new meaning to the word "pants". so, if you were wondering what flared pants mean and scratching your heads, i think i made my point that you know know.

fashion spotlight: summer florals

get summery with this new summer trend! you can beat the cherry blossoms by blooming with a stunningly floral tunic, like this one for example. and for a key style trick: florals best fabrics are silk! (really, if i see someone wearing a basket with florals on it, i would be surprised!) so, if you are going to wear florals, do it with silk, i would be very happy.
