Marie Antoinette's Gossip Guide to the 18th Century
marie-antoinettequeenoffrance.blogspot.com – Want in on the biggest scandals and gossip of the 18th century? Marie Antoinette’s Gossip Guide to the 18th Century is one of my favorite historical blogs at the moment because I’m a huge history freak and there’s nothing I love doing better than… reading random articles about history (I go through different phases of being obsessed with different times in history and am currently on the 18th century). Totally geek, I know.

Hanh
ahanhbarbie.blogspot.com – Hanh is one of my favorite Youtubers because she has the best hair tutorials and the sexiest hair in the world (not to mention she’s hot). *envious stare here* Not too long ago, she announced on Twitter that she FINALLY started a blog so I just had to add her to the list.

147xxxx
147xxxx.tumblr.com – Ah, the wonderful life of a Starbucks barista. Find out what goes on behind the scenes of the counter and funny stories about their weirdest customers (like the ones that bathes themselves in their washroom). Be nice to the baristas next time you drop by Starbucks… they’re real people too— not just ones you bitch at when you don’t have your morning dose of expresso.

Abby
dirtontherocks.com – Whose Abby? A sexy soon-to-be-mama and was one of those fabulous beauty bloggers who have added a more personal touch to her blog by getting her own domain (LOVE the name by the way!). I’ve been following Abby’s blog for a while and I’m loving it more and more.

Tamra
bravotv.com/tamra-barney – This is a what you call a REAL guilty pleasure blog. Do you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County? This one is written by “the hottest housewife” a.k.a. Tamra Barney and let me tell you, this girl is FREAKING HILARIOUS!! Her blog is funny and sarcastic and although she disappointed me last season, you still gotta love herl. All the housewives are fake to the max but we still love them anyway (except for the NYC ones… they’re quite boring) and there’s a strange satisfaction of watching the rich go through their drama and waste their money on botox and boob jobs.

My Everyday Look

JUST KIDDING. More like my once-a-month look
(because that’s how often I go clubbing).

Sad Day at Zara

Looks

Look
This was just what I wore that day… ended up not buying anything.
UNSUCCESSFUL SHOPPING DAY!! :(

I was lurking Chictopia the other day and stumbled upon an absolute gem from Indonesia… a gem named Michelle! I’m totally loving (and envious) of her style. She has what every girl wants… the ability to pull off any look and still look hot. She could be my stylist any day! MICHELLE… COME TO VANCOUVER!! ;)

Micchie @ Chictopia

You have a variety of looks but what’s your favorite?
I have a variety of styles since I love to experiment and see how each style looks on me but what I love the best is to dress up simple and girly— which is why finding a perfect dress is important. I’m also a spring girl and I love bright colours, floral prints, lace, ruffles and anything sheer.

Where do you get your inspiration?
Just like most people, my style is always changing. It really depends on my mood or the inspiration I get at that moment and lately, it’s from other Chictopian users. Some of them really have really great style and are very different… it’s amazes me that some people really have such great styles and are so creative about what they are wearing!

Favorite brands:
3.1 Phillip Lim, Camilla and Marc, Karen Walker,and Rag and Bone.

Style icons?
My “star” style icon is Nicole Richie… she is effortlessly chic!

What is one piece of clothing / accessory you think every girl should have?
Shoes even though they are usually pretty expensive. I love statement items!

Favorite purchase EVER?
My latest favorite item is my black Birkin. I’ve been on the waiting-list for 6 months before I finally got it! It was actually a gift from my mother-in-law.

What tops your wish list?
At the moment, it is the limited-edition shoes by Christian Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim. They are so gorgeous and just takes my breath away. :)

Top 3 must-haves in your wardrobe?
Great dress, jacket, and perfect shoes and you’re good to go!

Worst trends?
The worst trends were in the 70s when people when wearing disco outfits and had big hair and headbands.
