Chictopia says that only 5% of people’s pictures end up in the gallery – that’s really a shame because there are so many gorgeous, stunning outfit posts around that most often than not go unnoticed.

And a lot of people don’t click on ‘New Photos’ under ‘Gallery’ so those pictures get often missed out. And even when people do that, there are SOOOOOO many people uploading pictures that pictures disappear quickly. So I thought I start this topic, where people can promote their latest outfits manually if they want to in hopes to get more followers & votes.

Here’s my latest look

SO glad there’s a ‘rant’ section!
I live in a fairly conservative/religious country, and short clothes are not very common. However it is very hot here all year and I am a practical person, so I will sometimes wear shorts (mid-thigh length!) or flowy skater skirts, but the result is always the same: I go out in public and catcalls, groping, rudeness and harassment are the norm.
At first I stopped wearing these comfortable clothes because I was sick of it, but now I have decided to stand my ground and give any man who tries to shame me for dressing comfortably a piece or two of my mind.
I am not a sex object, and I refuse to be reduced to that by ignorant sexist people.
Ladies (and gay men), do you have similar experiences?

Hey there, Chictopians! I’m not sure if this is the most pertinent section to post this in, but I wanted to hear your thoughts!

In your opinion, what are the most over hyped products in fashion/makeup/fitness etc? This isn’t meant to overly bash any product or brand, but sometimes I do wonder if certain products hold up to their price point and popularity they receive! I have an open mind and I’m hoping to hear your views.

I love the look of Black Milk Leggings, but I can’t wrap my head around the price. Any sharkies out there that can turn me to the “dark side?”

I’m also super curious about the Jeffrey Campbell Lita’s, I feel like everyone and their mom has them, but I don’t see them as being as versatile as everyone says. Thoughts?

He (speaks): I might move out in october
He writes in email: So I would pay $700 for August and September, and $720 october and there after. Right ?
i (speak) : Yes, thank you. We need only give each other 14 day notice, not 30 days.
he (speaks): yes

I am severely bipolar + fibro + disabled from the 2 + employed. somehow i thought i would be all better by end of august.. after 3 years of disability. end of august comes and i am still in this state.

I need and know people willing to pay a lot more ($200 more) for his spot. Can I ask him to 30 days notice leave bc I need the money? I do have doctors’ papers but the email above..

I just want to ask if there are redeemable items available for members from the Philippines. I am kind of new here so I don’t really know about this. I see a lot of Filipinas here including myself and I wonder if we can also use our points to redeem stuff here. :)

Have you ever feel like today is the day you wanted to be active, cheerful, and do errands?
And then all of the sudden! Germs are controlling your body and now you’re sick!!!
And then all you can do is dream that you are active and laying down on your bed and do nothing even if you wanted to do more things…
You know what?
I got that days and whenever I got it I feel like the food doesn’t taste good, water is my only friend and medicine sucks :/
And when you feel a bit better your family was all like
“Let’s got o the mall!” and of course you wanted to go out with them, I mean being left alone in your house is scary!
And at that time since you’re sick you don’t feel to put any make-up on, yet there’s a lot of redness, zit, and other thing
So you decided to use some but yet it feels different
It feels really dry and you then you use some moisturizer and mix it with you foundation, sure it works…
But at the end of the night you need to get all those thing off, yet you’re still sick
But you ended up cleaning it and then…
You fell down lazying around sleeping….
After a few days your parents ask you to go to the mall again
Of course you go too
And this time with all the effort and stamina that you got
You didn’t use any make-up :/
And when you get to the mall
You can’t shop at all! Because you’re really sick and it’s on discount days! Even Aldo got a 50% discount!
But yet! You can’t try anything!!!
Oh God
I got those days and I was all sick, I can’t even try any shoes or anything…
So ladies, men or anyone out there
When you’re sick… Shop Online :/
Or just don’t do anything :/
Gosh and the really worst part is that I got sick in the biggest discount event of the year…
I hate germs
So how about you?
Tell me your sick story and where, when, how did you get it and your experience :)
I know I’m ranting but seriously guys…
Sickness sucks

Hi! I love posting my outfits on Chictopia and I enjoy commenting and voting on other Chictopians’ looks. It drives me crazy when some one takes the time to leave a sweet comment on your blog but doesn’t vote. Are they just doing it for the points? Looking for new followers? Are you guilty of this or is it one of your pet peeves also??

So I was on Netflix the other day and I watched this movie called “Centre Place”. It was totally different than what I’m use to watching but so charming. It could’ve been the accents but it was just nice and quaint it has become my new favorite movie.

Can someone please watch the movie (if you haven’t seen it already) and suggest some similar films because when Netflix does it it’s a movie with completely different characteristics.

I just came across a post that is four years old…I had no idea chictopia had been aroung for so long…I just joined the chictopia community about 9 months ago.

Reply a smiley.

she posts pictures of other people including other Chictopians without labeling them as inspirational and she gets points for that. This is prohibited but she hasn’t been kicked off the site and this is on my last nerve.

Hello dear Chictopians! How are you?
When you think of Stellapnp, first thing that probably comes to your mind is “The girls who is always talking about the gallery again!” Well, I really do apologize, but I wanted to know your opinions, and of course I’d love if you or the moderators could answer the question: How exactly are the style gallery entries chosen? I mean, I know that:“http://www.chictopia.com/How-do-photos-make-their-way-into-the-Style-Gallery/faq/style_gallery/1”, but if it was true, then half of the pictures with more than 10 favorites, 100 votes and 50 comments in a day, would make it! So it probably does not work this way. Technically, 4 of the front page features are being chosen by members (number of favorites), but they cannot make it to the front page unless they are in the gallery. So here is the problem. I used to complain because some of my looks (with more than 30 favorites) did not make it. Well, I was silly. Now, for over a month, no look of mine has made it. It is like my career as a Chictopian is over, or something like that:P I know I probably sound dumb, and I apologize again, but it is not so encouraging, thinking that you can do nothing to control the fate of your pictures… Anyway, so there must be probably something I have been doing wrong, since Christmas, but I don’t believe that my photography technique or style have changed dramatically. Is it a matter of… luck? I wouldn’t like to believe this. I mean, I understand, style icons must be chosen by editors and moderators, it is only correct, but maybe style gallery entries could be chosen by fans. I know there is the audition pick, but this does not help for pictures to not be forgotten. I don’t want to whine, I completely apologize if I am tiring, and I adore Chictopia, I never wanted to offend the site, as it is extremely important for me. I mean, that’s why I care so much!! Of course, it might be just me, so I wanted to know your opinion, if that has ever happened to you, and of course I would be really grateful if Cheri could solve this question, I’d love to know so I can improve myself!
Thank you so much!

Please don’t repeat the Style Icon fashions in the regular Style Gallery, Save that for people who aren’t fashion icons yet and let’s vary it up a bit folks. WE all have our days and not just the same 10 people can be in the sTyle Gallery all the time.

For some people, dreams are messages from a god they worship and some view them as nothing of any significance at all. From analyzing and interpreting my dreams for so many years, I’ve come to the conclusion that about 95% of my dreams are more like film features from my subconscious. Things I may be avoiding, people I may be worried about…suppressed desires, true emotions, fears…etc [i hate emotions. too sticky for me. This is why I think that what I feel, comes to me in dreams bc I avoid how I feel in day to day life. I think my way through EVERYTHING]. Funny thing is, I’m well aware of how I feel. I just dont always address it. I think my dreams are there for emphasis.

A dream is a dangerous, enlightening, puzzling, comedic, conscious, subliminal state of mind. If youre anything like me, pay attention :~)

Mullet skirts. PICK A LENGTH! It looks so trashy when one portion is at the knees and the other half is one the floor!

Am I allowed to write negative (not mean) comments on pictures?

Im sure you guys know what im talking about…….share your view

It’s been cool to see the different trends that people aren’t a fan of in the rant thread, but I also want to know what trends are your favorite at the moment. I love the high waist bottoms/ cropped top combo going on. This is one of my fave crops.

What’s that one thing you can’t go a day without doing? Facebook? Chocolate? TV reality shows? Mine is my personal internet schedule. First facebook, then email, followed by tumblr and finally chictopia.

Mine is socks and sandals!

I hate giving people a vote for something they downloaded from the internet but how do I know if it is inspirational or a picture of them. sent the message to feedback but they never answered me and I am annoyed about that. I want to know.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is difficult for new members to become popular on sites such as this, and so it’d be great if all of us newcomers come together and help each other out! If you vote/favorite/fan me or one of my pictures it would be greatly appreciated! I and the other viewers of this forum will also try our best to help you out.

I can’t seem to wrap my head around this. I encountered someone today that hated something and didn’t know why. Hate is just such a strong emotion that I can’t see how it could form without any reason at all.

Or maybe this is bothering me so much because I believe so firmly that everything happens for a reason. I don’t know.

What do you guys think?

I won the final round and should have been going to Miami to showcase Wisconsin style, but Cotton took my prize away and gave it to my losing competitor from Chicago. Read more here: www.melodicthriftychic.com

On my sign? I know it was stolen bc I saw it where all the complex’s mailboxes are at, I went to tutor a student for an hour (so couldn’t bring package with me), an hour later I come home and the package is gone. It was sent via usps. I want to put up a sign, bc I am so mad! My friend said to write “return my package! Karma is a bitch” Bc she got her iphone (stolen at the gym) back tgat way. But 1. I won’t be allowed to put up a sign w the b word on it where I live 2. If I write karma is a b/tch wouldn’t some smart ass say “that’s why your stuff got stolen”? So what to write?

I ask the question because I am definately the wrong side of 30 by a long way. Every magazine I pick up, every blog post I read is aimed at a young market. Even my own blog is aimed at a young market, Hell if I wore some of the clothes I feature on my blog, my friends and family would have me committed ! Clothes for women of my age are so boring ! I wonder what people on here think and have they ever seen blogs that are for the (ahem) mature woman What do you think?
