This is something that has been bothering me for quite some time now. There are classes here in the Philippines that give weekend sessions to learn photography but I can’t quite do it because (1) I don’t own a DSLR camera [a requirement for the class], (2) I don’t have the money to buy one and enroll in that class.

I know it’s pretty pathetic, but with this new job, I can now get that camera and enroll in that class. Question is: Is it still worth it? With the constant upgrading of technology, I keep fearing that the camera I’d purchase would be out of date before I knew it. As you may notice, I do not like bad investments.

That photography dream has been on for over two years now. I know I should do it, otherwise I’d spend the rest of my life regretting not doing it. But is the equipment still worth investing on even if it changes every 6 months?

Thanks, y’all. :)

Just bought my passes to coachella music festival in april.SUPER EXCITED. Just wondering if anyone else was going and what are they planing to wear and who they are excited to see play????

What’s your type? Physical and personality wise?

I love guys that are probably between 2-5 years older than me. He has to be taller than me in my highest heels. I am a total sucker for facial hair! Those things are what first attracts me to that person, however I’m not shallow. I love guys in all shapes an sizes :)
I like guys that have that shy personality when in all reality they’ll talk to anyone. It’s no doubt he has to be funny without being ridiculously immature. I like guys who are leaders, but aren’t cocky. Someone who has a good head on their shoulders, has dreams and goals to back those dreams up. There’s so much more, but that’s really all I can think of right this very moment.

So, how about you?

I am waiting for that day when I have my own walk in closet. I would definitely put in a huge mirror in there with hardwood floors and possibly spotlights. It would be machine operated where I would have a remote to browse through my clothes as it’s revolving and everything would be sort of high tech. But that’s only a future dream.

How would you want your ideal closet to look like?

I can’t pick a favorite…lol

I personally feel so bad for her. I would cry my eyes out if this happened to me.

So, I’ve been watching this new series, Catfish (on MTV), and I’m pretty addicted. If you’re just like me and are wondering what this show’s about – it’s basically a documentary series about online relationships. Each week, the show features one person who will meet their “online love” for the first time!

And so far, the people featured have been talking to their “online love” for almost a year, and it’s made me wonder – what are your thoughts on online dating?

Hello! I am a british advertising student, currently taking part in a project about British fashion in Brazil and I would like Brazilian user’s comments on the following general questions if possible:
1) Do you think their is a place for British style/brands in Brazil?
2) Do you think that Brazilian style as a whole is becoming more sophisticated?
3) How important is wearing big name brands for Brazilian’s in general?

This would be a great help in my project, Thank you :)

On the other side of the world (EAST part to be exact), many people are celebrating LUNAR NEW YEAR. Lots of festivities, good food, and holiday vacays.

Do you guys celebrate? : )

Aside from regular hotels and motels, I recently learned that there are igloo hotels which absolutely blew my mind! Though, i really dislike cold weather, I would actually want to try it one day. You can view the interiors of the igloo: “http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/50801/iglu-dorf+hotel+rooms+made+of+snow+go+for+gulp+170+to+580/”

Would you ever check in at a igloo hotel?

Am I the only one annoyed by people who talk about “fashion” all the time but have no style? Maybe I’m just easily annoyed. I think there’s a huge difference in the two. Style is a way of life whereas fashion isn’t nearly as complex a concept. Fashion is somewhat a part of style but style goes further than just “noticing fashion”.Ex. I notice fashion trends and celebrity fashion which I can talk about all day but LIVING style is embracing who I am and conveying that through my style of dress. I also understand that living style is a process.

Do you think there’s a difference between the two? If so, what is the difference?
(I welcome all opinions….even if they are totally opposite of mine)

Hey Chictopians,

I was wondering if any of you ever heard of Dapper Day, it’s this really cool event where you basically dress up all dapper and go to Disneyland with a bunch of other Dapper looking people! If you are interested you should check out they’re website! dapperday.com

I’m really excited to go! I just need to figure out what I want to wear! This year it is on Feb 24th!

To move out or not to move out? I find this topic very interesting because I realize this is a cultural thing. I grew up in Asia so it was common for children to live with their parents until they got married. When I moved to the states I see people moving out from the early age of 18. This came as quite a surprise to me at first (18 year olds? really – no offense).

What do you think about this, and if you were to have children when do you expect them to move out?

Hey any illustrators out there? I thought here would be a good place to share our work with one another and get feedback on our work! I’ll start things off by providing a link to my newest illustration which I just put up on my blog: http://www.thecuratorial.com/2013/01/new-artwork.html

When i was younger, I would go ice skating every week. I still go from time to time now, but my favorite winter activity now would have to be snowboarding. It’s just so thrilling!

What is your favorite winter activity?

Happy New Year, everybody!

As always, with a new year upon us, we are in the dire need to make new year resolutions. While I personally tend to not like new year resolutions (because I tend to break them haha) I’m going to really TRY my darn hardest to at least fulfill 80% of my list.

Here are a few of my new year resolutions;

1. Try to eat healthy
2. Exercise
3. Go out more with friends (quality time is a GREAT way to de-stress by the way)
4. Update blog/Chictopia blog!

What are yours?

What are your top five fashion colours? (The colours that suit you, the colours that you often wear, the colours that look special, the colours that make you feel good or maybe your favourite colours?)

Mine:
1. Brown
2. Green
3. Cyan/Aqua/Blue
4. Violet

These earthly colours make me look down to earth and make my clothes look more profound and real. ;) And.. green is my fav colour btw :D

you?

How do you feel about vegan fashionistas wearing second-hand leather? Is it acceptable for girls who shun leather, wool, cashmere, etc, to wear leather products they find at Goodwill or in a thrift store?

Hello!!
I saw this on the forum and I just wanted to answer. For 3 years now my favorite style icon is one special man. I am girl, but I finding this guy’s style very inspiring. It’s British pop singer Mika. He has amazing and unique style. Sometimes his styling is so much better then some girls.

I am from Serbia, and here we have so many peeps with great styles … :D

What do you guys think about using your phones when you’re out having a meal with someone?

I always wanted and still want to be a jet setter.
Flying cities to cities and leaving somewhere without anything holding me back.

I was going to NYC from San Francisco.
I only paid $250 (with traveler insurance) to go to NYC from Virgin America!

With economy being bad, ideally it’d be great to travel more but I can’t afford it!! ARGH!
But if I were to make my dream list of cities that I want to be in, the list would be as following:
Philadelphia
Montreal
Paris
London
Oslo
Madrid
Tokyo
Seoul
Beijing
Hong Kong
Osaka
Melbourne
Buenos Aires
Manila
Bangkok

How about you?

What fashion magazine do you get or read..if any?

I’m thinking of joining a PINTEREST but not sure if I’m interested in joining (haha, play on words). Do you guys have it? What do you think of it?

I know English and Spanish, I am pretty decent speaker. I’m learning French in school and I understand some phrases.

If so, whats your favorite wine?
Im a red wine drinker who enjoys Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. Occasionally Cabernet Sauvignon depending on the region.

So I started reading The Odyssey; Homer translated by W.H.D. Rouse, and did some research/ pre-reading on Greek mythology as well as this epic poem.

An epithet is (sometimes called an Homeric epitaph) on of the most noticeable features of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. Epithet comes from the Greek for putting (something) on (something). It is a tag or nickname that can be used o its own or together with the real name,depending on other features of the Greek language.

TASK: Create an epithet for your own name! Consider what you like to do, who your parents are, and what you are best known for!

GO!

It’s no surprise that in the modeling industry, models crave to be thin and for good reasons because they’re the ones who usually get hired.

But if you’re in Israel, it is now against the law to hire underweight models! In fact, models have to show medical records (AS PROOF) to agencies that they are at a certain weight/BMI (Body Mass Index).

It seems like a great way to promote healthier views of a woman’s body to me.

What do you think? How do you feel about underweight models?
