An Adventure in Paris

Hi there,

So yesterday after school I went shopping and I must admit that I went a little crazy, but in my defense it has been quiet a long time since I've bought clothes.
So I basically went to Forever 21 in Rue de Rivoli.  I had something like 8 items (5 of these being flower print stuff) and the queue for the fitting room was HUGE. So eventually I just kept the items I was sure would fit me (none have flowers on them, I'm sad).

Then I went to Brandy Melville, Rue de Rennes, and bought 2 tops. Unfortunately one of them doesn't fit but the other one is amazing.

After that I was basically just walking around, went to Shakespear & co (an english bookstore near Notre Dame de Paris) and to the Yogourt Factory near Rue du temple. There I found a thrift shop called Hippy market where they have 501 levis' cut into shorts for only 15 euros !! I'm definetely gonna go shopping there next month ;)

Links for my items :

Kimono - Forever 21
Black dress - Forever 21
Blush dress - Forever 21
Black top - Brandy Melville

Book revue: An Abundance Of Katherines

Hi guys,

I've recently finished An Abundance of Katherines by John Green and despite what everybody seem to think, I've actually find it pretty good.

First of all, the writing style, as always, is amazing. You can me sure that the jokes in the books are always gonna make me laugh and looking like a crazy person on the train. For example, the moment Colin fall face down made me burst into laugh so loud you can't even imagine.

Then I've thought the idea that a guy is only dating Katherines and tries to rationalize to be pretty good (all the maths part apart because I haven't understand a f*cking equation in the entire book) and well exploited. I must admit that it took me few pages to actually get into the book, but once it was done I was reading it with great pleasure. Not to spoil you I will only say that to me the end was predictable but it didn't bother me at all, I was actually pretty satisfy with the ending.

Finally to be perfectly honest I recommend this book, but if you want to start reading John Green's books it's actually no the best of all the books he's write but still an enjoyable read.

Book Revue: The Fault In Our Stars

Hi guys,

Yes, this is happening. I've read the book yesterday (yes, in one day). I don't.. Ahgiqhf. This is what's in my head since I've read the book. Like, John Green is definitely one of my favorite author aka one of the best author of the entire world cause I've decide it. I don't even know were to start.
First of all, I've already read looking for Alaska and I was already in love with John Greens writing sense (if that make sense). Of course I've seen a lot of people talking about the fault in our stars on YouTube which makes me wanted to read the book even more. So I've bought it (such as An abundance of Katherines and Will Grayson, Will Grayson that I haven't read yet).

Basically for those of you who comes from another planet or who lives out of civilization, the fault in our stars is a really beautiful book about a girl named Hazel who has cancer, and she met a guy, Augustus, who also have cancer. I know, that doesn't seem like a really joyful book. But it is.

The thing with this book is that it is not focus on cancer, I mean obviously they talk about it a lot, but I've forget this sometimes cause the characters are not based on the fact that they have cancer, they just have it like some people have red hair or something. It's just a part of them that they accept pretty well so we are more focused on the friendship/love story they live.

There is a movie coming out next year based on the novel basically, I still don't know if I'm excited or not. I mean I've liked the book so much that I'm worried to be disappointed + I wasn't imagining Augustus like the actor they choose (at all) which rather disturb me. But I will probably go see it anyway you know

SPOILER  SPOILER  SPOILER  SPOILER  SPOILER  SPOILER  SPOILER  SPOILER  SPOILER


So now let's get serious for a second. If you're here that means that you have read the book (you haven't ? You cheeky cheater!). And if you have read it, you have probably cry. And let's face it if you haven't you have no heart inside of you body. Let me tell you my top 5 "CRYING MOMENT" (they're obviously in a chronological order and not a "I've cried the most" order):
1) When Isaac cry because of Monica
2) When Hazel went to hospital in the middle of the night (really thought she was going to die)
3) When Augustus told Hazel that cancer was back and he probably don't have that much time to live
4) When Augustus organized pre-funeral
5) When Augustus actually died.

And at the end I've cried again because the book was over.
Now I hope I'm not going to appear like a Bword girl but I was so choked that Hazel doesn't die. Obviously I were not hoping for her death or anything, but she has a non-curable cancer and she was suppose to die first since Augustus was supposed to not have any problem with cancer anymore. And BOOM. He is the one who died. To be perfectly honest I've guessed at some point that he was going to die before her. Don't get me wrong I'm happy she doesn't die on the book even if we obviously know that she's gonna die in a more or less near future. Oh, and I've cried reading the "letter" Augustus write and send to the big alcoholic writer that I've completely forget the name of.

Once again, I highly recommend it !

Book revue: Les arcanes du chaos

Hi guys,

Here is a cheeky book revue of "les arcanes du chaos" by Maxime Chattam. He is a french writer so I don't even know if this book is available in other countries but I hope so because it's freaking amazing.
Basically the book is about a girl named Yeal, she lives in Paris and she start seeing human shadows on her mirrors. She freaked out, obviously. And she called the guy that she just met like three days ago because she scared and she has no one else to call. And the trouble start.
First of all, I do like the way Maxime Chattam writes, it's clear. Then the story, oh my lord the story. It's all about conspiracy, and trust me I'm not into these kind of things usually but the book really freaks me out. All he says seems so relevant, so true. How the government can know anything about anyone. Jesus.
Let's move onto the spoiler part.


SPOILERS  SPOILERS  SPOILERS  SPOILERS  SPOILERS  SPOILERS  SPOILERS  SPOILERS


Let me take a minute to explain you. There is really powerful people who manipulate and play with normal people life to gain points and climb in the hierarchy. So basically these people control everything, like they are the cause of the titanic disaster. Kennedy and Lincoln death ? Them too. They're called "the shadows". So one of these people wants to kill another to climb in the hierarchy. And so he uses Yael. (And we understand this only at the end of the book but if I don't tell you that now, the rest will make no sens).

Let's talk about love. From the beginning when she start talking to that guy Thomas, you wait for them to kiss. Obviously they like each other, but because the story isn't based one love it take them for ever to kiss. actually they're not just kissing but that's not the point. Thomas helped her from the beginning, he's her "guardian angel" as she said. People are messing with her, ruining her life, Thomas is the only person she can count on. And you have no doubt of this 'til the end. Yep, the end. From the beginning of the book, the shadows are telling her that "everything is just appearance". And it's also true for Thomas. He's not her friend, he was just doing a job. Like he don't even care about her because he has been payed to help her to achieve the "mission" (which was to kill a guy for another guy without her to know, it's kinda complicated to explain). So basically he was also messing with her. And trust me I was like WHAAAAAAT?!?!
I was so sad cause he was looking so nice. And then the very end.
The man that she was supposed to kill for the other left her alive after she have try to kill him. He give her an envelope that she has to opened with Thomas (at this moment she just learn that he was playing with her and that he's a jerk). He called to meet her in a restaurant to talk. And basically he thought that she has called him to have explanation. You see the point ? The very bad guy (the one that Yael wanted to kill) make them come in this restaurant. and when they opened the envelope it basically says that they're on best place to appreciate the new world he try to create! And I was like "no way, what are this guy plans ?!". It's September,11th 2001. They met in the twin towers. I let you imagine the end. It's a sad one.

So basically it was a really great thriller book. The story was amazing such as the characters (even if you get a little paranoiac after reading the book). And you have no idea of what the end is gonna be until you read it. I highly recommend it ! (hoping it's available in English).

First week at college !

Hi guys,

I'm sorry for not posting that much articles but I'm currently in my first week in college and I adored it !
I like the fact that it's a huge place with a lot of different people that all have different styles. It's really different than high school cause everybody where dressed pretty much the same.
I also like the fact that it's in Paris, and mentality in Paris is just way cooler than probably anywhere else in France.
Oh and the courses that I got are so amazing, like my teachers only speak in english and this is so cool guys!!

Argh I can't even explain, I just kinda live in a fairy land with unicorns and stuff at the moment.

Anyway I plan a bunch of other articles, mostly book revues cause I'm pretty much into books at the moment and maybe a cheeky playlist for fall.

"Five colours in her hair"

Hi guys,

Let me talk to you about my hair. We have a complicated story.

When I was  little, my hair was straight, I wanted  them curly.
Few years after by some kind of nature miracle they became curly. I wanted them straight.
I used to had bangs, but I hated it. I decided to let it grow. then I cut it again. And regret it, many times.
I got two huge blonde highlights around my face.
I cut them short.
I let them grow half of my back.
I cut them again. And regret it.
And and let them grow again. And repeat the story.
I was a brunette. Then I colored them black. Then have a Tie and dye. Then auburn.

Now, I'm back to brunette.
And few days ago I have them half of my back again like I wanted them for a while.
Then last Saturday I was doing nothing. I was at home on facebook, laying in my bed.
I was actually thinking about cutting them again, after seeing Anna Lee (Youtube), and Jenn (Youtube) cutting their hair. And I've seen a photo of Lily Colins.
I've thought of going to the hairdresser, but I'm impatient.
So I basically take scissors and cut them.
And for now I don't even regret it. But maybe I will in a few weeks. Who know.
