Writing Fashionably

EditRevise, how to write a fashionable college essay

Petite Maison of Fashion is mostly a fashion blog with the occasional lifestyle posts that pop up. Who doesn't enjoy a good green tea smoothie or a pesto and avocado crostini? You all know I love to travel and that isn't necessarily fashion. I also like to write and that comes in handy in the college process. I am a now a senior (woohoo!) which means the Common Ap and admissions process is a reality.

I started the first draft of my college essay this summer. Let me tell you, what is nearing to be my final draft is nothing like the first. I had the privilege to have an editor from EditRevise help me out. In the online Writing Center, you can download the free eBook filled with tips to write a college essay. It was particularly helpful to see the examples of real students' writing.

My EditRevise editor gave me feedback by commenting on the structure of my essay, grammar mistakes and word choice. Six hours after uploading my essay, I had the comments emailed to me in PDF format. This is the quickest I have ever gotten back a paper. Because my editor had never met me, she could give me significant input that my teacher from school, who also helped me with my essay, could not. It is interesting to see how a total stranger perceives you from your essay. I had to change certain phrases in my essay because my editor had misinterpreted something I had said, where as someone who knew me better, would have completely understood. Overall, this was quite a helpful and enlightening experience. I still recommend when writing your college essay or resumé, to have someone who knows you well to look it over, and if you want, have an editor from EditRevise read your work.

Easy 3 Minute Make Up Routine

Easy 3 Minute Make Up Routine

You probably already know but I don't wear make up often. What I am about to share with you, for me, is quite exceptional. If I have to attend an event or if I'm going out, I'll put on make up.

For some of you, this make up routine will be too natural and for others it'll be a simple natural look. To each her own.


Vous le savez probablement déjà, mais je ne me maquille vraiment pas souvent. Pour moi, ce que je m'apprête à vous partager est vraiment exceptionnel. S'il faut que j'assiste à un événement ou une soirée, je vais me "maquiller" comme ci-dessous. 

Alors pour certaines, voici un tutoriel maquillage naturel et pour d'autres, ceci n'est rien du tout! Chacune ses habitudes et préférences.

Ta da. This look is quite discrete. On the other hand, it only takes three minutes. I don't like caking make up on because I feel that a natural look is much prettier.

What do you think?

Et voilà. Le résultat final est très discret. D'un autre côté, cela ne prend que trois minutes. Je n'aime pas me mettre un paquet de maquillage car je trouve qu'un teint naturel est beaucoup plus joli. 

Qu'en pensez-vous?

Red Lip

Chiara Ferragni and I now have the same t-shirt. I find this Dress Gal shirt amusing. The drawing makes me think of comic books or caricatures. I tend to wear either prints or solid colors. However, I like this logo shirt. I'm wearing all of my red accessories, including lipstick, to match the red sequins on my shirt. Do you like these kinds of casual tops?

Chiara Ferragni et moi avons le même t-shirt maintenant. Ce haut Dress Gal est assez rigolo. Le dessin me fait penser à une B.D. ou à une caricature. Je porte plutôt des imprimés ou des couleurs unies. En revanche, j'aime ce haut à logoJ'ai sorti tous mes accessoires rouges, y comprit mon rouge à lèvres, pour reprendre les paillettes rouges du t-shirt. Aimez-vous ce genre de haut basique?


I also received this top and bottom. However, I was not impressed by the quality of the fabric. This ensemble is completely transparent and very thin, which does not resemble the clothes pictured on the website. The top is quite large but the shorts are teeny tiny. Since it was impossible for me to wear this look, I photographed the clothes instead. 

J'ai aussi reçu ce haut et ce bas. Par contre, j'ai été déçue par la qualité de la matière. L'ensemble est complètement transparent et extrêmement fin, ce qui est complètement different de la photo sur le site-web. Le haut est très large mais le short est tout petit et arrive au ras des fesses. Puisqu'il m'était impossible d'enfiler cet ensemble, en voici une photo.
