Smile! for [Colorful Updates] New Domain Name!

Hello loves! I know that it's been awhile but I've been busy, I hope you understand!

I am very excited to announce that I have a brand new domain name! For the past month I've been moving my website over from this blogspot account to a totally brand new one!

colourmoichic.com

I have my own domain name! It's just so exciting to me. It's something that is entirely mine and that I'm building from the ground up!

I hope that you all are able to switch over to that website to continue supporting me on my journey in life. It's finals week right now, but I have been wonderfully planning so many things to do over winter break and it is going to be great! I promise! (:

Hope this finds you all well!

Smile today!

Smile! for [COD #10 and Colorful Adventure] Inspirational Wendy

Wendy Nguyen from Wendy's Lookbook is an inspiration for me. I pretty much see her and Mystery Man as my role models. Their journey is incredible and their story is just so amazing. I don't think I've ever been so nervous meeting someone! >A<

 Once I entered the Diane von Furstenberg store at South Coast Plaza, I first recognized her younger brother and immediately realized that I was so incredibly lucky. Her and her brother's story is just so touching, and it had dawned on me that I was so close to someone who I admire so much. I pretty much procrastinated going up to her and kind of wandered around the store first. Thanks to Thomas, who nudged me and patiently encouraged me, I finally had the courage to end up hovering around her and kind of spluttering noises out of my lips. It was a little embarrassing, but I couldn't get anything else out at the time. (enter nervous laugh)


 Wendy was wonderfully kind. She patiently listened to my story and just how she inspired me. She was so very elegant and so very sweet, that I couldn't help but shake in excitement and happiness. I am really grateful that she accepted my present for her as well! ^^ So many reasons to smile!
 
Coinky-dinkly, the very friend who introduced me to her videos used to live in the same college dorm with one of her closest friends, and also the man who started out taking pictures of her on her blog! It's such a small world! Time flew by as we talked and he gave me many kind words of encouragement, as well as Mystery Man. It was a very educational night! (:

 South Coast Plaza has fantastic Christmas decorations! The lights flicker against the roof like stars and it's just amazing. (:

 Pictures taken by the wonderful Thomas Liu. (: Thank you!

 Would you believe that my red "belt" is actually a red cardigan from Forever21? I spent about 20 minutes in front of a mirror the night before trying to figure it out and this was the ending result! What do you think? I think I'll make a video of how I did it soon. (:

Can you guess what character I'm channeling through my outfit? P: The answer to that will actually be revealed in my 100th video. Stay tuned! <3


Today was beyond my dreams and it was just so wonderful. My cheeks have never been so sore from smiling. Everything was so great. Thank you Wendy and Mystery Man! Thank you David! Smile today! (:


Their pumpkin cheesecake on a mini cone dessert was really yummies! :3 Can you see the little smiley face on mine? P:

I personally think that Thomas captured me being really nervous, but really excited really well here. Pre-meeting-Wendy-and-pre-smile-parade.

 Aren't the Christmas lights on the roof surrounding the colorful stained glass magical? :]

Smile! for [COD #9] Wreck-It Hero

 Ever since watching Sourcefed's The New Movie Thing Show (Yes, it's really called that.) review of Wreck-It Ralph, it confirmed my need to watch it. The movie was great! Adventure, humor, touching story-telling and visuals was all there! I highly recommend it! (:
 While going to the mall to see the movies, I wanted to reflect the character's colors into my outfit so this was what came from that. (: My outfit was based off of the colors of Wreck-It Ralph's clothes with the gold belt to top off the color of gold coins that is commonly found in old video games. In order to downplay the outfit because of the bright colors, I wore a dark grey cardigan inside the red pleather jacket. 

 My photographer, Thomas Liu, was very supportive and accommodating as we snapped a few pictures of what I wore before the movie. So wonderful props to him! Thanks for reading! Smile today everyone! (:


This was an image in front of a recently opened store and I just thought it was so amusing. X3 Scrunchie face!

Smile! for [COD #8] Snow Blades and Ribbons

Yay for Halloween! (: I hope that you all got candy! If you didn't, I hope you all had a good time! Did you watch any scary movies? This year I dressed up as Rukia Kuchiki in her school uniform from the anime Bleach. Rukia is my absolute favorite character from Bleach. Her sword is entirely white and absolutely has the most beautiful attacks in my opinion. She's witty and has a strong heart. She also loves bunnies, which is my favorite animal! (:

 I've had her white sword replica for about four to five years now, and it has been sitting in my room ever since. Ever since I attended DisneyExpo last time, I just fell in love with cosplay, so I was determined to create this one, since it was pretty easy to do as well! (: I hope you enjoy the pictures! They were taken by my wonderful friend, Thomas Liu. Thanks again! Smile today everyone! (:







 Hurgh?
 Heh...heh...heh...I gotchu nows.
 Die. 
(sidenote: These are my best intimidating eyes. Are you scared? P:)
