+*:ꔫ Elegance & grace: *✧･ﾟ:*

(It just needed the aesthetic symbols around it.)

“A girl must be two things: classy and fabulous” — Audrey Hepburn

“Always be the leading lady of your own life” —Audrey Hepburn

“Fashion changes, but style endures.” — Coco Chanel

“Keep your heels, heads and standards high” — Coco Chanel

✧ For the longest time, I longed to be a girl with class and elegance, but I also wanted to be a party girl and chaotic and fun! Then I realised, why can’t I be both? Why couldn’t I have it all? So here are some tips where you can be super fun and cray-cray but also see yourself as an elegant person ✧

Posture. Always sit up straight. Self explanatory tbh, just don’t slouch.

Don’t be on your phone too much. Idk why but when I do it, I just get so icked out by myself. Get off your lazy butt and do something. But mostly when u do go on your phone, don’t lie down lazily on your bed. Sit up.

Present yourself well. Brush your hair, put some lip gloss, where decent clothes. Ready yourself in a way which makes you feel elegant and confident.

Get your own style. Your own signature scent, style

Read. Nothing says elegance than a tidy, well kept girl reading.

Be polite. Have manners. Be kind and respectful. How you treat others says a lot about you. And remember to smile! Be warm and open.

Chew with your mouth closed. It is so gross eating and then seeing someone chewing with their mouth wide open.

Don’t fiddle too much. In my opinion it’s ok if ur rly nervous, but if ur just sitting try not to shake your legs (im guilty of this as well!)

Stay calm. In situations where it’s more tense/ you just wanna shout, don’t. Learn to not react and stay calm and elegant, always. Appear calm and collected in all situations. (Some ways you can do this is by meditation or deep breathing)

Be mindful. Be mindful of the things you say, and the things you do (your actions)

Confidence. Confidence is everything. Be confident in the way you speak, in the way you walk, in yourself.

Extra tip: embody/ take inspiration from people who are already who you want to be! (Examples: Marilyn Monroe, Coco Chanel, Aubrey Hepburn, etc)

Xoxo, Vanilla

Things that are not actually classy (avoid these)

Ladies, today I want to bring attention to a list of habits and traits which are in no way associated with a classy woman (or person, for that matter).

Pointing out another person's flaw which cannot be fixed in less then 5 min - this is just basic good manners.

Wearing luxury brands from head to toe - being a walking billboard of advertisements isn't classy, it shows one cares more about clout and more likely leaves others wondering if the person even has a style of their own.

Judging other women while they're actively working on leveling up, instead of actually offering support or advice. Remember, we've all been at that early stage and it's gracious to afford them the same courtesy you wish you would've had.

Judging people's accessories or outfit based on how prestigious, luxury-brand or expensive they are - quality and elegance isn't defined only by famous or expensive brands.

Lacking critical thinking or discernment, blindly believing whatever people tell you or whatever outlets you are exposed to firsthand. If you want to be a high value woman, you need to think for yourself and form your own opinions. It's not a high value quality to be a soundboard for whatever other people around you are saying.

Being rigid in thinking and closed-minded, believing that you have the answers to everything, and that only your view can be the correct one - modesty and an open mind goes a long way, nobody knows everything.

Degrading something that doesn't resonate with you on a superficial or subjective level (aesthetics, fashion, taste, etc) - let people live and enjoy whatever brings them joy. Just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't mean it can't be someone else's favorite flavour.

Grace is Honed!

When we hear elegance or gracefulness for the first time, it’s usually followed by “passed down from generation to generation” or “known all of her life”. That can be demotivating when you’re interested because it implies you need connections to become graceful.

It costs nothing to be elegant! Elegance is simply respecting yourself, being reasonable with your expectations and holding standards you’d hold if you were on the flip side.

To hone your grace,

View yourself as a person whose implicit goals are to improve yourself and to become secure enough to allow your results to inspire others without wanting credit. Implicit goals are at the bottom of the iceberg while explicit goals are at the tip!

Don’t rose glass the “epitome” of grace in the 1950s. Any pretty picture can hold un-pretty circumstances. We can all pose for pictures.

View grace as becoming comfortable with your abilities and secure with your shortcomings.

Graceful ≠ elegance. Elegance is a mindset and descriptor while graceful is commonly used as an adjective and descriptor. You can be graceful without being elegant, and elegant without grace.

Don’t beat yourself up over the past OR for how others view you. There is absolutely nothing that can be done for the past except for accepting your wrongs & rights and not trying to alter the result. Also, most of us care way too much about how others thought of us 24 minutes ago or if people compare us to ourselves in elementary school.

Be aware of your true intentions at the end of the day. If you operate in a way that strips others of their peace of mind or comfort, you’re not respecting yourself at all. Being graceful isn’t being nice 24/7, but not encroaching on other’s abilities to enjoy free will.

Be logical first, emotional second & relatable/empathetic third. Our emotions are powerful & precise, but it’s not the same as using your past knowledge on a present subject. For example, if your tire is slashed, your first human instinct may be to become angry or lash out and announce the news off of adrenaline. A more contemporary example would be influencers or celebrities jumping onto Instagram Live to share their anger over drama they just learned about.

With LERE, you may react like, “this is unfortunate,”, become angry or annoyed afterwards and relieved it’s only a vehicle tire that can be replaced.

Take on the most challenging situations with a smile. It’s easy to crumble under pressure when many people are impatient, rude and unforgivably partisan. For applicable situations, if you react to them as an obstacle you can get over, your outlook on the situation will be more positive and your emotional intelligence will become even stronger.

Inner beauty manifests in our outer beauty. You should spend as much time working on your inner self, as you do your looks.

Some feminine attitudes you can work on:

1. Happiness: when you’re happy with yourself you radiate positivity, joy and peace that is magnetic. You are a joy to be around because you make others feel good just by being around you.

2. Classiness: being classy is more than how we dress. It’s also about our attitude, our manners, how we speak and interact with others.

3. Kindness: being “nice” can be faked. Kindness cannot. Kindness comes from the heart, it’s warm, loving, caring, and compassionate attitude that comes from a person who isn’t lead by their ego.

4. Authenticity: authenticity means being the real you, unapologetically. being the real you without living for others or getting triggered and offended by others thoughts about you is the core of self confidence. People respect real confidence and can see through fakeness.

Turning the dangling ties from this Atelier Pierrot cardigan into bows 😊

Script:

Hello! Just wanted to show you what I do with these strings, a cute little detail.

You can put a loop, and then another loop, on the same string.

And then you tie them in a little knot. Umm, just around each other. Like so.

And then you can just, straighten it up, even it out, and uhh, you've got a cute little bow! Hmmm and a little bit less string dangling.

4 Red Flag Lovers To Avoid At All Costs

There might not be a clear-cut rule on how to pick the ultimate partner, but there are at least four types of lovers you should avoid like spoiled leftovers.

1. Unrefined Leader

“Women don’t know how to be submissive.” It may not be that women don’t know how to be submissive, but rather no woman feels safe enough to let him lead. To be submissive, you must be able to trust the person you submit to blindly. You’ll learn that this person is not as dependable as they believe they are, and while you may love to submit, their actions don’t allow you to rest in their guidance.

2. Humble Pie Server

“You think you’re too good.” Carefully watch out for lovers whose primary goal is to humble you. They always find a way to remind you the things that make you happy are out of reach. There is no shame in being “too good” for something that would otherwise make you feel small. These insecurities show up when you express your interest, dreams, or plans, and they seem unattainable to the person you are sharing them with.

3. Jealous Lover

“Congratulations…” Jealousy flows without borders and can show up in relationships through backhand compliments and anti-celebratory comments. You’ll find that in moments when you have accomplished something big or small, they drag their feet to show you support. If it isn’t congratulations, then it could be hating.

4. Alpha Male Regurgitator

“I’m an alpha male, so that won’t work.” Self-taught masculinity often begins in an unrefined and toxic atmosphere. If a man's masculinity is cultivated through youtube and social platform leaders, they are likely to digest these messages in an unhealthy manner. The most dangerous part of false alphas is they will suffocate the flame of the pure feminine.

Hii💖 since i love your blog and i listen to your opinion, i would like to ask your opinion and how would you deal with something.

There's this coworker, is a girl, who's explicitly toxic, she has now explicitly told me and another coworker that she likes to feed wars, engage in fights because it's something she deeply loves. She said she wants to win fights and she must always win. She also said she doesn't care of offending people, she insults and curses people at their back and if killing was legit she would kill as soon as someone told something against her.

I know best option is to stay far away from someone like that but in my situation is not possible. I just wonder what you think and how would you deal with that.

Hi dear anon,

It is simple. No engagement whatsoever. Avoid her as much as your role allows, and if there is any verbal contact keep it brief and polite (Hi, good day, thank you). That's it.

You don't negotiate with toxic people and narcissists. Let them tumble around in their boxing ring on their own, nobody is forcing you to fight or even stay to watch the show. Let yourself out.

Best wishes, 🤍 🕊

-L .

Give Praise Without Compromising Your Self-Respect

Depending on the person, it’s easy to give compliments on someone’s exterior without a second thought while you feel like you have to sell your soul to praise someone’s intelligence or prowess.

Detach yourself from the praise. You aren’t giving up parts of yourself to give praise.

Do you worry you would be stroking the recipient’s ego? To soothe this, reassure yourself you’re an equal and just as anything you’re praising them for. Always intend you receive the same energy back from yourself!

Make sure you’re in a good mood! I’m less likely to compliment if I’m angry or annoyed; especially if I’m angry, the compliment can come off as sarcastic or rude.

Give praise graciously and respectfully. When you give praise that way, your mind will separate a gracious compliment from insecurely complimenting someone in a way that can be construed as sucking up.

How do you give praise?

Brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush twice a day

Have mints on hand if you're a garlic, spice, or coffee lover
