 My 16th birthday 

I usually get very sad when my birthday approaches. There is something so dreadful about my own birthday. I know I am not the only one. Lots of people understand the way I felt about it. I have to say, my last few birthdays kind of sucked. Last year my friends pissed me off terribly and I wasn't sure if I wanted to invite them this year. Everything seemed helpless few days before my birthday. I wanted to go to east point, because it has lots of great attractions and fun places. My mom wasn't sure about that, since east point is very far away and going there with six kids seemed hard. But after some talking, she agreed to take us there. The day before my birthday my friends were talking about gifts and we're asking what to get me. Something so interesting about my friends is that they always get me things that I want or need. I will talk about the gifts later on, I am so grateful for them. 

My birthday started on 1am, when my mom unexpectedly woke me up, with a raspberry tart that had a small candle on it. I could barely open my eyes, but it was such a good surprise. After few hours, it finally came time to wake up and go to school. I put on my new skirt and tights, with my striped cami and and a white bolero and of course, some glitter. When I got to school, there was no one there, like usual (since I mostly get there early). After that my friends slowly started coming. Every time they came, I gave each of them a small cupcake/muffin shaped invitation cards that I made for them. The invitation cards were specifically made for each one of them, so they were different shapes, colors and with different drawings. My first friend brought me a super nice perfume, it smells really good. My second friend gifted me a huge scarf that is a very cute color and Lana del Rey prints, she also came in with a box, which I didn't question nor get curious about. My third friend brought me glittery markers, a jumbo paper clipper thingy, a glittery paper stickers and a glittery locket. My fourth friend got me a lip oil, lip gloss and a lip conditioner, they all smell really good. My fifth friend gave me some money and a cute wallet. About the box that my second friend brought, she later came in with it opened. It was pastrys with candles on them. I had no idea or suspicion that my friends were doing that for me. It was so sweet. I have to admit I froze in place when they came in class with that box. I am not the best in these sort of situations honestly but I still appreciated it a lot. After we ate the pastries, my friends wrote things for me on the box. So I cut off the part with the writing and I took it home, at the end of the day. Two of my teachers said happy birthday to me and luckily we didn't write the history test that day (we wrote it this Friday and I think I did very well). After school ended two of my friends went home to leave their stuff. My mom and rest of my friends went to my aunt's salon and left our stuff there. I for some reason, thought that my aunt said happy birthday, apparently she didn't and she didn't even remember that it was my birthday. She got suspicious and asked my mom if it was my birthday and my mom lied to her and said no. Later that day my aunt did call me and congratulated me. That was honestly so funny. After we all got together, we went to the subway and got to our destination. One of my friends said that she had a quick online meeting to attend and that she would come later on. After we got to the destination we got on the bus. Four of us were squished together in there. Then we finally got to east point. We all decided that it would be better if we ate first so that I wouldn't pass out on rides. Before our food came the last friend came too. So all of us are and then finally went to the fun attractions.

I got the hard and we started having fun. First thing we did was, getting in the place where you sit in front of the big screen and shoot zombies and such things. First time my we played the medieval one and my friend won, the second time we played carnival version and I won. It was super fun. After that I put my friends in the red box. Red box is basically a box where you sit and it sort of stimulates being on a roller coaster. I put four of my friends in that box. I myself didn't get in it, because I wasn't sure if my body could handle being flipped upside down, especially because I was having a headache few minutes before that. It was so funny watching them in there though. After that we sat in the small cars. It was really fun. My friends kept trying to hit me and at some point we got stuck twice. After that I think we played tiny shooting games and some other small games. My friends also, somehow found a balloon and they played with it for few minutes. I also tried to get a unicorn plushie from a the claw machine. But of course the claws on jose machines suck. And no it wasn't a skill issues because I perfectly positioned the claw and it literally grabbed it but since those claws are so weak, I couldn't grab it. But that's okay. After we had great fun, two of my friends left with their moms. Me, my mom and four of my friends called the taxi and like the first time, we all squished in there. After that we all said our goodbyes and went home. I was so happy. It was such a great birthday and I am so grateful to my mom and friends. I don't think I can express enough how happy and grateful I was. I just hope that new years will be just as great and I hope I can make others feel the same happiness I felt on my birthday this year. 

That's all. Thank you for reading!! 

Bye bye.

Movies 02

 Vamps

So it's been quite some time since my last post. School has been really taking my time lately. I had a test and have two more coming up and also a project (which i have already completely, i just need to present it). These past few days or two weeks or so, i have watched quite a few movies actually! So expect more movie reviews and movie related posts. Including this one, i have watched four movies or maybe five. Anyways here is what i think of this movie. 

To give some context, vamps is a 2012 movie about two vampires, stacy and goody. The movie is set in 2010s, which you can definitely tell. For me, this movie is the definition of a campy movie. Its so bad that its good. I honestly loved both Stacy and goody as characters, especially goody. I feel goody as a character, was kind of special because of her backstory. Where we didn't get much about stacy, which i didn't mind honestly. That sort of established goody as the main character and bigger focus for the movie. I really found the vampire community in this movie interesting and the different abilities they had. The outfits in this movie were so cutee. Some weren't my favourite, if i remember correctly (cant remember everything since i watched this few weeks ago). I have mixed feelings about 2010s fashion overall, so of corse there were outfits i wasn't the biggest fan of. But some were really cute! The way goody combined old and new was so cute, sometimes not very cute, but that added so much more to her character. It's also so interesting seeing the difference between the vampires and when they got turned. For example stacy got turned around the 90s i believe and goody got turned in 1840! That truly reflects in them more than you would think. Not only in general behaviour and fashion, but also their abilities and interactions with modern world. Like stacy fully embraces new technology and goody doesn't at all. I found the part where she said "everything is going too fast", when being introduced to new technology so relatable. I don't even blame her, i mean just imagine yourself in her shoes. You are a woman with a husband and two kids in the 1800s and one day you become a vampire, you have to watch your children grow up and pass away and every time anyone becomes special for you, you must abandon them, because its either that or they will get suspicious of you. For a movie thats kind of campy, goody is a pretty good character.

This is a pretty casual watch. Its funny, but has some emotional moments too. I genuinely almost got teary at the end when goody passed. I just wish it hadn't been done in such a terrible funny way. For context, at the very end goody passes away, because she becomes a human again. She dies, by turning into dust. Since the cgi in this movie sucks, goodys death looked terrible and funny. I was so pissed, why would they make it that way, it was so funny... unfortunately. I can see myself watching this again. Its a very cute movie and lots of parts of it make up for the terrible cgi. I loved other characters as well, but i am getting too sleepy right now. Like stacy was fun and i loved her style and vibe a lot. I would write bit more about her, but then again i need sleep. 

Thank you for reading!! More movie reviews will comee and I'll try to keep my promise and post the fashion posts. 

Bye byee.

 Just in case..

Just in case i need to clear this up, which i shouldn't have to but still. I originally planned to post something else today, but i genuinely felt the need to write this. Especially after seeing one of the girlbloggers on tiktok talk about her experience with racism in the girlblogging community. 

I will start by saying that i am very anti-AI. wayy to many of you here, are too comfortable using Ai and if you don't see the issue with using ai images or generative ai in general, go ahead and unfollow me. Now onto things that i think are bare minimum, but apparently some people disagree. I do not support racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism or any of such things. I think abortion is necessary and a choice people should be able to make. What else should i write that is literally bare minimum? Oh right, of course i am a feminist. I find it so annoying that some people disagree with this. I have seen someone on tiktok post something similar and the comments made my jaw drop. Someone had left a comment, saying "i agree with all except abortion, abortion makes me sad". Excuse me? I am just baffled with these type of stuff. I felt the need to establish this and i think thats sad, i shouldn't have to write this. This should be bare minimum.

Thank you for reading!

 Blog layout update + more

As you can see i updated my blog layout! The first layout was cute and i frequently got compliments on it. I hope you guys like this new one just as much as i do! Obviously this one looks way better. The colour scheme is more clear, everything goes together well and i even added few fun widgets (unfortunately i cant get one of them to work properly but for now its okay). I love when i get to this part of progress in anything. When you start something new it seems so hard sometimes confusing, after some time it becomes easier to understand and you get progressively better at it. I love when i make things for the first time and then look back at it and realise everything i could have done better, and then actually do those things better! It's very comforting and rewarding to me. I got the idea to redesign my blog layout yesterday, but i have been thinking about it for quite some time. When creating my blog layouts or any profile layouts, i try to keep it authentic to me and also make it very well so that i can keep it for a long time! 

With that being said, i started planning the update yesterday. I made a very quick draft for it and saved some images from Pinterest. I made sure the vibe and aesthetics were a lot more clear this time and especially the colours! I got some blog codes from "sugarkissedletters.blogspot.com". I highly recommend checking out their blog! It is very cute and they have some good blog codes. After that it was time for experimenting and changing things around. I had so much fun and got so motivated afterwards. I even made my first tiktok and posted it! Speaking of tiktok, if you guys want to follow me there as well i would really appreciate it! My account is "chocon0m". So far i only have one post up but i am planning posting more in the near future. I want to post moodboards and shuffles, and maybe some videos or pictures of myself and my outfits. Typical girlblogging content. Also should i make a special post for when i hit 150 followers? But anyways, this day has been very exciting. I drew, i changed my blog layout, i made new Pinterest boards, i made my first tiktok post and i am currently trying heatless curls. Wish me luck for those by the way! 

Thats all for now! I really love my blog and my followers. I don't if i express it enough but i really am grateful for this website. Thank you for reading! 

Bye byee.

 Thrift goals! 

(+ What I manage to find so far) 

(Disc: i do not over consume, i buy my clothing pieces slowly and i almost never buy directly from any brand. I know people like to point out overconsumption and point fingers at others, but some of them are genuinely stupid and don't realise how it actually works.)

1. Ruffle top 

These type of tops have had a chokehold on me, for a good minute. I genuinely want one so bad! I would prefer it in either white or grey, other colours would be fine too but if i manage to find a white one, i will be truly blessed. So far i haven't seen anything even slightly similar to these, which is very sad. 

Status: dont have it + haven't found anything similar. 

2. Knitted cardigan 

I need a knitted cardigan. It's very cute and as someone who is always cold i could really use this. I would love to find one of these in white or maybe brown. I haven't really seen any black versions of these, but i imagine they would be very cute as well.  I have seen some kind of similar cardigans to this, but they were either too long or too big or different texture. So i haven't gotten lucky with this one either. 

Status: slightly similar items found but not bought.

3. Knitted bolero (or any bolero in general) 

Boleros are genuinely amazing, trust me on that. If want to wear my cute sleeveless shirt i can layer it with a bolero, it would be very useful for me! Especially because i get easily cold and if i dare to step a foot with a sleeveless top in school i will be brutally executed. I have a deep orange forever 21 top, that sort of looks like a bolero and this one time, when i didn't have any tops left to wear i layered that top with my sleeveless shirt and it was amazing. I actually found a very cute bolero at the thrift store two days ago! It has long sleeves and a detachable fluffy neck. It is genuinely so adorable and i cant wait to wear it! i would love to find more boleros, i am convinced they are one of the best layering pieces a person can own.

Status: found one + looking for more.

4. Pea coat

Self-explanatory. Pea coats are adorable and very darling. I found pieces kind of similar to this, but they weren't exactly pea coats. I genuinely want one so bad. I think i would make a good use out of this. None of my jackets fit me properly, so i am honestly looking for any cute jackets or coats. I would love this is grey, black, pale pink, white and even brown. So i am definitely not limiting myself when it comes t finding this jacket.

Status: dont have + found slightly similar ones. 

5. Any kind of wedge snickers 

It does not matter, as long as it is one of the colours i like. I need more wedge sneakers! The first ever ones i bought are similar to this photo except they are sort of brown and leather. I love those wedges so much and of course i love my second ones as well. I don't know what made me fall so deeply in love with wedges, but its all i think about now. I even had a dream where i found wedge sneakers in the thrift store. Wedges are one shoe type i am extremely passionate about. Apart from the ones i got last year, i haven't found any wedges unfortunately.

Status: own two + looking for more.

6. Uggs

I don't own any and i really want one. But when it comes to uggs i am very picky. If they have fur detailing like these baileys then yes, but if they are short with those ugly colourful stitching then no. I have worn long uggs before and i think i would prefer medium ones. Very short ones are just plain ugly. I will literally make a separate post rating and talking about ugg types, because i am so opinionated about them. I have found few uggs at the thrift store, but they were either too plain, too long, too short, not a cute colour or damaged. So wish me luck in finding cute uggs! 

Status: dont own + have found some but they weren't good enough.

7. Baker boy hat 

I remember few years ago when i desperately wanted this kind of hat. I never actually got it unfortunately which is a bummer because these kinds of hats are adorable. I am okay with any colour and any texture for this hat. Even better if it has a cute detail! I haven't seen these hats around anywhere unfortunately, which is making me very sad! I really really want it.

Status: dont own + looking for it.

Well thats all for now. Thank you for reading!! 

P.s school has been keeping me busy as you can see. Oh and i deleted my last post because it was very stupid.

Rating movie outfits 01

Rating clueless outfits 

3/5 

Probably one of the most iconic outfits in this movie. Although it's iconic, it is not my favourite. I personally am not the biggest fan of this mustard yellow. But since it is a set, i have to give it a point. The thigh high socks really do complete the outfit well! I used to love such patterns, i don't hate it now. Its just not something i gravitate towards as much, unless it's in very cute colours. I am not giving this outfit 3/5 because it's iconic and loved by the fans. As i mentioned, since its a set it can be worn in many different ways. Although the yellow colour isn't my favourite, it still looks good. Especially with white accents. Noticing the pins on the skirt actually made me like this outfit a little more! I think it a very cute detail.

3/5

Just like the first one, this isn't my favourite. I can't say that the colours are my favourite. I honestly don't have much commentary on this outfit, since the first one is already quite similar to it. Between the two there is obviously the colour difference, the pattern difference and the difference between accessories. Can't say much about the hat, it's iconic but i don't like it. I think Dionne has many outfits that i love way more than this one. 

2/5 and  3/5

Now these are just gym clothes, i know! But i am still rating them. I don't like cher's outfit honestly. It is very simple and nit necessarily bad, i am just not the biggest fan of it. Dionne's is better in my opinion. Still somewhat simple but i definitely prefer it over cher's. These are just gym clothes and i know they aren't ment to look necessarily good, they are just supposed to be practical but i still wanted to rate them.

5/5

I love this outfit. Its simple, but it just work so well. I love everything about it honestly. I love the way headband is matched with the shirt. I love the skirt. The earings and the necklace are perfect. In my opinion it's one of the best outfits.

5/5

I find this outfit to be literary adorable. I love the colours, i love the pattern, i love the hat and the bag. I would genuinely wear this myself. I think it's a very cute outfit honestly.

Again, the socks just complete the outfit even more.

3/5

This outfit to me is quite simple. I can't say much about it, but it is cute. The blue jeans and the orange jacket go together cutely and the shirt matches with the jacket. This isn't my favourite but it isn't bad! 

4/6

I think this dress is adorable! The shape makes it very cute and the pastel colour is adorable. I also love the sleeves a lot, they make the dress look very darling and cute. That being said, i can't say anything more about it. Its just very cute.

5/5

I can't explain how adorable this outfit is and how good Dionne looks in it. I love the colour of the dress and i love the accent whites. The long socks and shoes make it even more cute. I would wear this myself! Probably one of my favourite outfits from this movie.

3/5

The dress is simple and adorable! The necklace adds cuteness to the outfit and the hair is literally so adorable! A side part with a small hair clip? So simple but so cute.

4/5 

I love this outfit honestly. I think it's very cute and the colours go together very well. In a way, I feel like the leather skirt adds a lot of texture to the outfit. I also love the fishnets, i think they also do add a lot to the outfit.

3/5

I don't know what it is about this outfit, but it's nit my favourite. I can't say much about it honestly.

2/5

I also don't like this outfit, i honestly don't like neither Dionne's or cher's party outfits. I like the way hair is matched with the outfit. But i just can't seem to like the rest of the outfit.

5/5

This outfit is so darling! I love the hair, k think it suits the outfit very well. The colour is absolutely gorgeous, of course. The choker with a flower is so cute. I overall love this outfit.

5/5

I unfortunately couldn't find a proper full body picture of Dionne's wedding outfit, but it is literally adorable and gorgeous. The colour goes together so well and look so cute. The shoes and the hair? Oh my god...i love this outfit. Its genuinely so pretty and girly and cute. I can't get enough of it! 

I loved rating these outfits and i might make a part two of this post, with amber's and tai's outfits. I also want mention the series again, i don't know much about it and i haven't watched a single episode. But i have seen few images of Dionne's outfits and i encourage yo to look them up, because she genuinely looks so cute in the series. I mostly have seen images of Dionne from that series and nothing else. I felt the need to write this down, because she genuinely looks so cute there and i have never seen anyone talk about it. Anyways, school is starting tomorrow. Wish me some luck! Thank you for reading.

Bye byee.

Movie list 01

 My autumn/fall movie watch list

My movie list is still, somehow big. Even after finishing my rewatch list, i have barely touched my watch list! And i keep finding more and more new movies to watch, so the list keeps getting bigger. I hope i can bring myself to watch these movies at least for this autumn/fall season. You can also leave any movie suggestions you have! I want to mention, that some of these movies do give me autumn/fall vibes, and some dont. This list isn't completely based on which movies are set in gloomy autumn/fall settings or which one's give me such vibes.

1. The love witch 

I really want to watch this movie. I am curious on what's its about. As i remember, it was released in 2015-2016. Which is surprising, since it looks somewhat vintage or just bit old. From the clips i have seen, i think it's the colours making the movie feel older than it is. This movie has the iconic line "the day he left me was the day that i died, but then i was reborn...as a witch". I have seen few people calling this movie "shitty", but honestly that doesn't scare me away. 

2. Valerie and her week of  wonders 

From the clips i have seen and what i have read about this movie, it's weird...very weird. It has some parts that i know i will hate and probably some parts that will be messed up. I mean after all the movie was released in 1970 and the book was released in 1945. If i have learned about the older movies, it's that they always have something messed up in them. By the way, i am not talking about heavy topics in general! I am talking about a poor handling of such topics. Older movies tend to handle heavy topics poorly and also include things such as racism, sexism, ableism and etc. Things that were unfortunately normalised back then. So i am little afraid of this movie, but i am curious.

3. Jawbreaker 

I watched a movie review for this, and ever since then i have wanted to watch it! This movie is so iconic in so many ways and i genuinely cant wait to watch it. Going into this movie, i expect to love it. I also want to mention, that personally for me watching a movie review before watching the actual movie, doesn't really spoil my excitement of the movie. Its one thing to listen someone else describe the movie, and it's completely different to experience it by yourself. So yes i am really excited for this movie.

4. Ginger snaps

I think this movie also has other parts, i am not quite sure though. I can't exactly remember how i discovered this movie, but from the clips i was seeing it seemed very interesting. I think i also did watch a review about it. This movie seems like such a autumn/fall movie. I also cant wait to watch this one! 

5. Drop dead gorgeous 

Of course i need to watch this movie. I am just sad that i didn't watch it sooner! But it's now or never. I have seen very few clips of this movie and very short video part talking about it. This movie seems like a spring movie to me, from the clips i have seen. But i want to watch it now.

6. Jennifer's body

Its surprising how i haven't watched this movie yet. I would say that his movie is the most popular one from this list. Since it's so popular, i have seen quite a few clips of it and few videos analysing things about it. 

7.  The craft

I have wanted to watch this movie for ages! Again, i am not sure how i discovered this movie. I have also watched a review about it and seen some clips. This one is pretty popular as well i think? I honestly can't really say what is and isn't popular, since i rarely know what is and isn't mainstream or even well known. I think there is a second movie or a series of this movie, i could be wrong though. I am very curious about this movie and cant wait to watch it.

8. Vamps

This movie popped up on my fyp, as a movie suggestion. I don't know much about this movie, except for the general plot. It seems very cute and fun, so i definitely want to watch it. 

Thats all for now! I have definitely been posting less, but don't mind that. I don't know how frequently i will be able to post, after school will start in few days. I hope i can post though, i really enjoy making these posts and i am shocked at the fact that i have followers. Like, how did that happen. As always, thank you for reading!!

Bye byee.
